Price is only part of the problem.
Even the genuine LR stuff is out of date.
If you buy it as soon as its released it's great - for about 2 or 3 months ...
Biggest con job there is - I fell for it - but only once.
Much cheaper to buy a top of the range Garmin with lifetime updates which are downloadable every 3 months.
Unfortunately they don't sell HSEs without sat-nav or a sun-roof.

Oops sorry - I just realised that you really do want a newer set of discs!
The latest (last) available that are compatible are 2011 /2012 - on eBay for under £50 - so instead of having 5 year old info, you can have 2 year old.

I have the same problem with the Becker system as used in the FL1
Out of date discs are not much good really. That's why I now have a Garmin, which I can also use on foot in any unknown city that I might visit.
LandRover as usual have moved on to the latest 'state of the art' technology in their current models and anyone with anything less is left high and dry.

Right tried if for 1 hr 15 mins the satnav display kept changing from lr sign to home screen to back again at approx 1-2min intervals. Got bored and switched off engine. Worked fine next day which was nice.

Lots of TomTom's have lifelong map update deals at the moment, just got a Start 60, 6 inch screen for £130 with life long map updates and traffic info for 1 year, but what they dont tell you is that you need a different charging lead, with the required ariel in it, only £50 more !!!!!!!
