How do all,
Well those that read my post in october will remember that for my wifes health reasons I sold my 2010 VSE to get a XC70, The days before my RR went every nerve and fibre of my body screamed NO dont do it, but I did, bought a ex demo and hated the XC70 with a passion so much so that after only 3 weeks and 700 miles I ordered a new fully loaded XC60 thinking that with it been a bit bigger and taller all would be well.
Got the new XC60 on 12th of Dec we have done 1300 miles in it and its still crap, I mean it has heated everything 850watt surround sound, auto dim ext mirrors the list goes on.
BUT it lacks soul there is no permagrin whatsoever, in a FF half the pleasure is in getting to your destination and just the pleasure of driving.
For those of you that said leave the Volvo alone. Yes you were right.
As for now I watch autrader and Landrover Approved site longing for another FFRR the problem is seeing how I have lost so much money on cars lately I cant afford another 2010 VSE but I feel myself been drawn to a 2008 - 2009 vogue. As for my wife we are starting down the path of new hips etc all being well and she is happy to get another FF.
Soon I hope.
Here lies a lesson for anyone thinking of selling their FF to go down the sensible option.

Thanks for the feedback, good lesson...

Anyway, fingers crossed for your lady, whishing her to get well soon (so you can get a L322 again ) l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

i've been in the same situation, had a td6 sold it ,got a x5 and sold it and now have something i'm chuffed with..

There isn't a substitute for a LR! I am sure a lot of people on here will agree; once you have one it's hard to go to any other marque. And I suppose that's not what you want to hear...

Hope your wife's health problems are sorted soon

I hope your wives hips recover and are better than ever.

You should have gone for a freelander over the Volvo

All being well you will soon be back in a FFRR  2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo Hybrid (V FAST)

You got bitten by the green oval bug mate....one bite that all it takes, you never leave that GREEN OVAL BADGE from now on  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Woodchip, your nearest and dearest are the most important

However I am in an equal dilemma, been a LR devotee for years, have an L322 and a couple of classics in various states of rebuild, bought a Sport last year to use for work and hated the thing with a vengeance , sure it was fast and my wife loved it ( probably a death knell ), but it wasn't a FullFat. I have been looking for the last month for a sensible, good looking, client friendly vehicle and cant see past a FullFat, will be a waste of time and money buying anything else IMO ..... therefore I am addicted

may I ask ROSCO why you hated the sport. i tried one last week 2010 MY quite liked the over all thing I just felt there was something missing. The smile factor i think.

STAN . . . . X5 . . . . what on earth were you thinking about

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

i know, but it was what i thought i wanted but i learnt the hard way..

I like that Stan! I'll get my coat... taxi for pld

^^ rehab worked then , I tell you once bitten........................... nothing other than a green oval will do  If it dont work.......burn it!

Woodchip. just a personal opinion. I hated the Sport, not as a car but as a Range Rover, its a marketing tool and good on JLR, there job is to sell the brand and they do it well, however FFRR for me

Oh well Woodchip, often the hardest lessons are the ones we will always remember and I'm pretty sure that once you've "come back into the fold" you'll never leave again.......prodigal returns etc etc

I went from an XC90 to my VSE TDV8 and whilst I was more than a bit concerned about a lot of the scare stories you hear of major, expensive problems with an FFRR all I can say after 8 months of total bliss floating around in my mobile gentlmens club, I could not be more impressed with it and I'm totally sure I did the right thing

I sincerely wish you and your wife all the best in getting her joints sorted as quickly and painlessly as possible

thanks for the update Woodchip,it does make me fear leaving the FFRR for that reason
