Closed the blinds just after 5 this evening. Raining. Looked out at 7 and this is what I saw...

Not even bloomin forecast! Thank jebus I put the winters on. Shall be fun getting out tomorrow.
 FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎

12 degrees, rain, rain and then some more rain near Gloucester.

I feel cheated by the BBC Weather app - I checked just a few hours ago.

I've also realised if anyone is using the Landy tomorrow, it'll be my wife getting to work  FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k

I would go out for a play tonight

Tempting, only my wife is still stuck in the tailbacks caused by the snow. Would be a bit irresponsible for me to leave my 2 young kids in the house alone while I drove in the snow. They'd probably understand tho. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k

I went out for a play in the snow near Edinburgh this evening - great fun! And I made a highly unexpected discovery - my recently acquired Freelander MY2013 HSE seems to be much more stable and controllable in the snow than both my previous Discovery 3s! Looking forward to winter now..

I thought that username was familiar, Gavin

But anyway, only 40 miles North of you lucky we have nothing

Mike - you might want to check out my other post this evening regarding my tailgate!

And congratulations on your recent news too!

Already had. And thanks

Lucky you I had to go to the top of a hill to find some.

Got out in the car today and I have to say,it was pretty dull. Which I suppose is the point - the car drove like it was on a nice dry road, not a packed snow dirt track. Good job  FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k

My journey home is 25 miles along the Lang Whang (A70). It took over an hour and a half.
I have Continental Cross Winters on and I was surprised at how bad they were.
Still fun though.
I did have someone drive up to within a couple of feet of the back of my car. This is on snow and ice with very little traction. WHY???? What were they thinking? It seems to be the norm these days.
I did a quick brake check which forced them to do the same. Funnily enough they kept a better distance after that.

Yep I found the same thing - FL2 is lighter and lower centre of gravity. Disco is fine if you're going slow and in a straight line but hairy round icy bends
