Defender? I'll do that in my Discovery. My stock-except-for-tires-Discovery 5 can wade deeper than any off the lot Wrangler.

Fantastic video. They all had roll cages welded in but still, let's see a Wrangler do that. Assuming you can find one with frame welds that meet spec from the factory, that is.

Saw this today ............. Banging head on the table. https://news.yahoo.com/toyota-lexus-recall-cars-replace-183633546.html Didn't Lexus just get #1 in dependability or something? Boy, I wish Land Rover made engines that good. Oh, and remember when Toyota had to recall a bunch of 4Runners...

They haven't yet released the searchable database and the individual vehicle scores, so it's hard to draw real conclusions about that generalized statement. And you know what they say about generalized statements - they're all ****************. Edit: so reading a bit about JD Power's report this year...

Yeah, I'm an owner and I'm active on that forum. You can count on one hand the number of occurrences in the issues as posted. I have one of the earliest deliveries in the US (VIN under 24,000), and I bought an extended warranty expecting typical first-run model year issues, but beyond a couple...

It does? They have? The first statement is subjective and hyperbolic. Clearly "everyone" does not "hate" it nor does "everyone" think it looks like "every other SUV on the planet." The second is false. Sales of the Discovery line since 2008 have been flat on average in Europe (~12,000 per...

What issues did the Discovery 5 have on launch?

McGovern can hope in one hand and ******** in the other and see which one fills up faster. There's a little thing called the free market. Lucky8 isn't just going to pack up and call it a day because Gerry said so, any more than ARB has because Yota has TRD or any of the hundreds of tuners have...

Um, OK, so why did LR give drawings, specs, and invite-only previews to major aftermarket outlets before the official debut? Why is the aftermarket speccing the Defender TrEX editions? Why is Land Rover releasing a special Hillary Edition in NZ kitted out with aftermarket parts that Land...

I'll be buying some for my D5 as soon as the annual bonus hits this spring. I have a wee bit of trail damage from flipping over a loose rock into the door just behind the right front wheel well...so can't wait to get the sliders on!

I began testing my oil when my indicated oil life began dropping 3:1 miles driven. Only the very first test showed high metals and dilution in the 3% range and some research showed *some* other people noticing the same thing. Since then metals have gone down to almost nothing and dilution has...

The so-called "service notice" referred to at the start of this amusingly produced and highly slanderous video that quotes JLR engineers, was supposedly released in 2017 and posted on the Disco Sport website where the oil reports posted elsewhere here came from, but there is literally no record...

Regulations have created this problem. JLR has been winning awards for the cleanest diesels, while MB, BMW, FCA have had corporate headquarters raided, and now Volvo is being raked over the coals for blatant "defeat device" findings. THAT is a management problem almost five years after...

Since the Tan Windsor leather isn't an option I'd definitely go with the Khaki if those pics are well represented on my monitor.... I have a thing for brown leather, have always wanted a car with a brown or saddle leather color....

Land Rover has gone through a massive redesign campaign over the last 5 years. The Discovery line was basically two types with minor changes between generations and major changes between D2 and LR3. It takes a while for the aftermarket to catch up. Available right now for the D5: - No cut...

As a diesel owner (Td6, the Lion engine which was a Ford/Pugeot joint venture and which is now offered, slightly modified, in the F150 PowerStroke), I've watched this closely for a few years. TL;DR: YMMV There are a couple things going on here: 1. The problem with the Ingenium isn't...

But in Tesla's this is somehow a beneficial feature. Your smartphone has been doing it for years. As someone who works in "big data" (I hate that term) and adjacent communications fields, here is the only comfort I can offer: Every internet connected voice activated device is listening to its...

The difference here is that JLR is choosing to allow the owner to monetize that data, and select what data they monetize. Not sure how they'll pay it (credit against financing? Gas card?) but they've been researching that through their owner focus groups for some time now and kicking concepts...

In Access Height as shown, you would be correct - there's little ground clearance. Good thing you don't always need it when parked. Also useful to lock in access height when driving through a parking garage. I did LOL at the "check deployable towbar" graphic. Do you squeeze gently at the...

Let's make sure we are addressing the correct vehicle - are you talking about the Discovery Sport, or the L462 Discovery 5? They are completely different vehicles. The Disco Sport is not much more than a typical small luxury crossover that is fine for light off-roading on forest roads. The...
