The final part of our road test / review of the 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 litre diesel HSE. It’s only been very recently that I’ve accepted that a diesel engine belongs in anything other than an HGV or a taxi. I’ve had to concede that maybe it’s not entirely realistic to want a […]

Land Rover have launched the Freelander 2 White & Black, a new entry-level model starting at £19,495. Another day, another new Freelander 2 model.
