Hi All
I am about to re-aquaint myself with the joys and tribulations of Landy ownership after years of driving VW group 2WD saloons and hatches. In the past it was Series 3s, Lightweights and early Defenders during my Airforce days then Discos and P38 Rangies in the late 90s early noughties.

Tomorrow I start again with a 2011 Freelander 2 2.2 TDi HSE Auto. I suspect that I'll have to relearn an awful lot more techie stuff with this beastie.

Thanks for the welcome.
Both P38s were dSEs, the first , a manual gearbox, replaced his and hers 300tdi Discos. The second, an auto gearbox, replaced a Kia Sedona auto which was bought to ease the arthritic shoulder pain from driving the Rangie.
Sorry for the delay; I have been tied up trying to remember how to drive this forum.

Some people ask a question then disappear forever, some threads go on for years :)

Diesel P38A is my particular vice. How would you compare the maual compared to the auto Gbox IYO?

I found the manual excellent for pulling out hedgerows, towing chippers and general agricultural work (son number 2 is a tree surgeon); it was also good for steady cruising when trying to achieve decent fuel economy. The auto was absolute faultless when it came to towing the caravan when she who must be obeyed was also on board (she also found it great for motorway cruising to visit son no1 and grandchildren in Barnstaple.
