I love my series 3 but it has caused me a problem. Our "normal car", as my wife likes to call it, has all the modern stuff on it and I used to really like it. Recently though this stuff has started to get on my nerves.
I put it in reverse and the wing mirrors dip so you can better, now I can't see what did before (doesn't happen on my series). The headlights come on automatically but I have to check it's on automatic otherwise I'm driving without lights. Windscreen wipers automatically turn on but some times the rain isn't enough to turn them on when I need them. The ****ing thing bleeps when parking -I know there's a ****ing wall there I can see the bloody thing in the sodding mirrors which have dipped.
All the things that I liked about the "normal " car have started to annoy me. I'd rather drive the series as its more relaxing cos I'm not checking all the electronic stuff is doing what it should be. Yep I'm finding driving a series MORE relaxing!
I'm driving the "normal" car thinking "I'm a sodding adult with many years driving experience " I don't need my car to warn me I'm changing lanes.
Someone asked me what I'd do in heavy rain as the landy only has one speed wipers, find a cafe and have a cuppa is the answer.
And I look on this site and see freelander owners asking for advice on how to connect bluetooth, ****ing bluetooth on a landy site.
I'm probably getting old and the landy reminds me of simpler times, but it bleeps a lot less than the other car. Doesn't tell me what to do, and doesn't try to stop me doing what I want to do (if I want all that I'll just talk to the mrs)
