Many thanks guys for the welcome.
Initially looking at an early one to give it a try and then who knows in the future. I've recently sold a 7 series so am familiar with BMW's but this will be a little different as I am driving a Discovery 4 at the moment.

Cheers
Adrian

Hi and welcome.

I have a Discovery 3 and a Zed. I cannnot think of a better realistic (affordable) combination, other than a Discovery 4 which I am currently searching for.

Good luck with the search.
