Hi all,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a long-time Saab owner but had to find something new after they went bust!

Today I picked up my 2012 LR2 HSE with cold climate... brad new. Baltic blue with almond leather. It joins a 2012 Smart fortwo and a 2013 Ram 1500 that gets regular towing use.

All's well in the first 200 miles.

I know it's just the baby Land Rover, but I'm a mostly-city dweller and have no family within 300 miles of me, so I needn't have all the space of a bigger model.

I previously had a 2008 Volvo S80, and I'm shocked how much it shares in common with the LR2 when it comes to switchgear to the plate that covers the battery under the hood.
