I've come from a Ford Powershift so I keep wanting to move the gearstick for drive and reverse!Hah - I have the opposite problem. Not used to an auto. Now I've got my head around no clutch and not changing gears, I keep trying to set off from home then realising I haven't put it in drive yet...
Loving it so far though. Big test comes in October when it goes on a camping trip. 171 miles to site loaded to the hilt and with a roofbox on top. Hoping to make it in one go, but with spots in Gretna or Dumfries identified in case I need a top up en route.
I have also removed the big foam insert. all the stuff that was in there actually fits perfectly in a bag in the netted pocket on the left of the boot of the LR. That'll help with the packing - sleeping bags might be going under there instead! Plus, if I need the puncture kit, I don't want to have to unload everything to get to it!
I've got a 280 mile Glasgow -> North Wales trip in October too, dog cage needs built for the boot and old roof bars from Grand CMax checked for fit or the 510 litre roof box might be a problem. I've planned two stops but might only need one - but going to need a toilet break ever hundred miles or so anyway.
