WinchesterDave Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Dads birthday the other day, and we bought him a Land Rover Experience at Halewood in Liverpool. There is only three cars he could pick from and is going to go for the Discovery 4 when we come to book it. Has anyone done an Experience day with Land Rover? What are they like? My dad can't wait to have a go haha. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I did a day with them in Ledbury and used a Discovery V6. The course was brillaint, and the vehicle was really put to the test. I enjoyed the day out and would recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil3728 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I did the one at Coniston, drove a FL2 as we had just ordered one. A very good day out to show the capabilities of the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Have done it twice at Coniston. First time was a TDV8 Vogue... yes please if I ever win the lottery. Second time was a 110 Puma. Also very good. Can heartily recommend them and learnt a lot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren m Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 was at Rockingham international horse trials yesterday so had a go in a brand new LR at a landrover experience stand. what a superb 4x4 , massively overpriced but damn good . some very good spec , probably too much and i did,nt know they had 8 gears either which was interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagtail Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 We did a one day vehicle familiarisation on the new Discovery at Land Rover Experience Milton Keynes with work. I have to say it really opened my eyes as to the vehicles off road capabilities and in particular the use of the different terrain settings. They really do change the whole set up not only of the suspension but also the throttle, braking and general dynamics of the vehicle (really useful when you spend most of the day plodding up and down the motorway in one ). The instructors are on the ball and know their stuff. Your dad will have a cracking day and will no doubt spend most of it with a big smile on his face I know we did!
