I have been on a couple now and as far as I know it is possible to take two guests (yourself and one other to drive) which I did on the last occasion.

You can take two other people, and they can drive as well, as long as they have a driving licence and less than 6 points, it appears now that you have also to produce your national insurance number as well...don't know why.

The paper part of the current UK Driving Licence ceased to be used with effect from 8th July 2015. In order to prove the status of your licence you now need to log onto the DVLA website, type in your licence number, National Insurance Number and postcode and then either print out a copy of your paper licence or obtain a code you can give to whoever needs it, such as car hire company.
The print out and/pr code are only valid for 21 days so if you're regularly hiring a vehicle you'll need to keep generating new codes or print outs.

Supposed to save paper over the old system and be more up to date!!!!!!

I think you will find each Experience Centre will send you an e-mail and ask you use the link to a company called FleetServe or something similar.

You then fill in a series of boxes and submit the form. Nothing else needed.

I know because in the last month I've attended two JLR events.

It's an absolute pain, now they have done away with the paper part. I've got an LR voucher when I got the DS never used it yet. The DS is now getting binned in favour of a real Discovery so no doubt get another voucher which will lie doing nothing.

Can't be bothered with putting info into websites when I have a perfectly good paper part lying in a drawer.

Wow J, what's wrong with the DS? I read in What Car? and Autocar that the new version with the Ingenium engine is a huge improvement on the launch cars too.


RE: landrover adventure day - J77 - 24-08-2015 09:31am

The DS is a good car, and that's the problem rather than make it a great car, they have went with this that'll do mentality. They have tried to take on the Germans and missed.

No seat belt height adjustment
Constant squeaks from rear seats, already been in for a fix
Incontrol touch has a mind of its own
B pillar rattle or "tick" as LR call it
Drivers electric window has a mind of its own
Reverse lights shockingly poor, I've even upgraded to LEDs

But most of all I miss the D4, didn't think I would as the DS size wise anyway suits my needs.

My dealer offered £37k to buy it back cost me £38.5k, plus got a money off the Discovery and various bits and peices thrown in, a one shot offer really.

The DS is a really nice car to drive and LR have made big steps towards improving the quality of their product but they haven't gone far enough. I don't want to put any potential owner off buying one there is lots of happy owners, it's just not the car for me.
