Just clocked up 50,000 miles in my 2012 SD4 GS.

I didn't plan to do only an average of 4,000 miles a year. My plan was to do an extensive tour of western Europe over two or three years but circumstances changes all that.

So, 50k miles with only one fault, and that was land Rover's fault for saying the Haldex does not need servicing. The car still suits my needs and is probably good for a few more lots of 50k miles - and who wants one of those electric gismo cars when you can have a decent reliable diesel car.

Loads of life ahead. Mines clocked up 129k miles now and running well. I plan to drive it for a few years yet. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Well said Jimboland,  DAVE.

I have been driving an SD4 FL2 for over 12 years, try as I might, I cannot see a replacement.

Perhaps I have now evolved to be the perfect partner and shape for the FL2.
I have tried other cars but I am always pleased to climb back into my comfortable, secure FL2, and the SD4 has plenty of power to keep up with todays traffic, and cruises down the motorway very easily. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 79k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

I also have found the fl2 to be a comfortable drive, but when sitting in the passenger seat it’s not as comfortable. Am always fidgety to get comfortable, the other half finds it the same.

One of the things I like about the Fl2 is the ease of getting in and out. Recently I had a series of hospital appointments that I could not drive to and from so had to get lifts or taxis and then a loan car while the Fl2 was in for service. When I got in the cars I banged my head and often had to be helped out (needed help after what the hospital did to me!) and when I got into the loan car I banged my head and my knee. I am not a big man but these small modern cars must be made for children.
