Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Well they do have to make sure the LR Assist button works. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Haha no way I passed that Defender pulled over there yesterday. I thought the driver was just having a break, oh how I was wrong.  Freelander 2 XS 2013
Freelander SE 2004 (Gone)
Freelander GS 2002 (Gone)

I wonder if Highways will take them - according to the guys at the control room in South Birmingham they prefer the Mitsi's over the Disco 5's as the LR's don't like long periods idling when holding a closure - screws up the DPF, whereas the Mitsi's don't throw their teddies out!

Then again, the procie tey pay for the D5's is very....competitive! 2000 Xei 1.8 gone
2004 HSE Td4 Auto, MT's, sump guard, sliderz - gone
2014 GS Man - AT's, Mantec Sump guard and tank guard, split charger in boot, towbar, work in progress...

Every time I see these undisguised pictures coming through the more I think “Discovery”

Maybe they will rename D5 to Disco Super Sport  Regards

There’s a lot to be said for that 👍 As a larger clone of the Disco Sport (and thinking of iPhones), it’s either Disco Sport Plus, or Disco Sport Max. The Defender can be a Defender and then the real Discovery 5 could be a development of it. Make it a bit longer, a bit posher, give it a proper tailgate and call it “Discovery 5”, with none of this “New Discovery” nonsense

I’d really like to drive, or ride, that road

I think that this contains some new information.

Add some vat to that £20000, then add plenty for crew cab, then a healthy dose of £'s for some comforts and possible auto box. Paint of any colour seems to be a cost option too  At work

“Last year, Land Rover chief design officer Gerry McGovern said: “We have to stop thinking about function in a durable way. When you're buying into the [Land Rover] brand, you're buying a premium product.””

What a Clown!

It’s a “premium product, yet the £45,000 starting price wont buy either air suspension, or anything more than a 4 cylinder Ingenium.

Just buy the sub £40k model, running on coils a steel wheels
