I like
When did Topping lose the Land Rover franchise? Didn't know that.
So disappointed by this, such potential.
2/3 months ago I think. Can't remember what there "official" story was but really Land Rover told them they would have to upgrade there showroom/workshop to remain a dealer.
The cost of this would have been nover £1,000,000 so they decided it wasn't worth while and are now an Official Land Rover service centre. Can still go in and buy a new Land/Range Rover there but they have to get it through elsewhere not direct from Land Rover.
There mainly selling nearly new ones now and have gone stronger with Ford.
They have done up the exterior of the dealership since but not to landrovers extent lol.
Probably explains why we've had a quite a few more cars going out to them recently. I know alot of Brands are requring upgraded/larger showrooms/grounds compared to what many places have these days causing alot of work to many dealerships.
You in Hurst's? Think that's where I was told they'd be getting them but wasn't 100% sure.
Just where ever they can get what they want I suppose.
You in Dungannon? Stopped by in July to price getting my air suspension recalibrated,
Would only be the hour labour charge they told me, was £85 +vat lol or there abouts.
That's cheap, Hurst's are £105+vat!
Closer to get to Belfast the more they rip you off it seems
Probably will end up getting it done on Donnellys at some point and toppings don't have the calibration blocks anymore.

I was down at the D5 launch tonight in Hursts.
It is actually lovely in person. Had the release dates been closer I would have went for one of them.
It is unbelievably well kitted out inside, and I would have to very seriously consider spending an extra £10k+ on a sport versus a well kitted disco

Same platform as Range Rover and Range Rover Sport so yes, monocoque
Many would say they only started making decent motors in 04.... the d3 &d4 are excellent cars. Neither of mine have been nightmares though like any marque, there are bad ones out there. Each disco has been a major step forward with some loving and some hating the progression.

Presumed so. Is the main suspension components, arms etc the same between the 3?
Unbelievable amount of aluminum in the new Range Rovers, need to get a good nosy under one, any we've had at work haven't needed to be on a lift.
Have to say after prep work on it this morning i do like it! Alot nicer in the metal, car is a new colour to the range silicone grey nice bit of kit inside like a sport mated to a discovery, outside I like it, even the offset rear number plate.
Yeah I'm in dungannon.
