Saw one yesterday in Walsall, only caught a passing glimpse as I was going around a roundabout and it was waiting at the junctiojn - looked very compact and defo FL2 / D4 looking front - wonder if it was going to the engine plant in Wolverhampton? |

With poodle wheels like that it will not last 5 minutes in outback Australia. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Don’t forget though, that very important test ALL new vehicles have to go through now requires low profile tyres and huge wheels..........getting around that stupid 12.9 miles circuit in record time without knocking over a Fiat Panda or a teenager on a Vespa! Regards

I thought I'd read somewhere that rear mounted spare wheel s were banned due to crash testing regulations? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

We had this debate a few months ago, I am sure that I read some time ago that under EU regs any new designs after a certain date had to have the spare incorporated inside the vehicle which was why FL2 differs from FL1 etc and numerous other examples but presumably it got repealed. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto 5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE |
