Welcome to the Forum. Having once been a Fleet Manager with a number of Discos I know what you mean about the reliability of RRs. The Disco wasn't a lot better. The BMW is so much better to drive.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

much nicer to drive more responsive noise levels lower, build quality and materials feel much better , obviously not as good off road but i didnt buy it for that, just had so many probs with range great car but it got to the stage that every time we went out i was waiting for another warning light to come on,when it was running ok it was good just not reliable enough for me, looking forward to reading a lot more posts on here especially want to get the engine pre heater to work off a remote but first i really want a good indy i can trust,i do a lot myself but getting a bit old to be crawling under cars all the time,thanks to all for warm welcome!
