    I cover about a 1000miles a week(in a truck),and I'm surprised how few D5's I see on my travels.

    I was thinking that today, I do 35k ish per year and I've just ordered a D5 commercial. I am a little worried about the reliability issues. Anyone else doing high miliage?

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Montalcino Red

    Yes, 11 weeks old and now on 8,762 miles (had 63 miles on the clock when I collected it). Just had it's second top up of Ad Blue and service reminder has come on - due in 1200 miles. Apparently there is a software update that fixes this issue now.

    Best car I've owned - rock solid - I'm really chuffed with it.

    I think an important part of the ownership experience is the quality of your dealership - fortunately mine is superb and they always go the extra mile.

    Enjoy yours - I'm sure you won't be disappointed Thumbs Up

    I'm also amazed at how few there are around my area. And when I do see one, its a surprise! I think since i've had mine, i've probably only seen half a dozen actually on the road here.

    I think i've probably seen more LR Velars on my travels than D5's. Which is strange really as the area I live in is very rural and i'd have thought this model would have been right up the farmers and villagers street! Very Happy

    Mind you, I was stopped and asked about the car by 2 passers by a few weeks ago, while I was turning at a junction. One was definitely of a farming background (i.e. sheep dog by his side, wellies on and that 'weathered' look Very Happy ) They asked me what model it was and what I thought of it.

    I gave them the name of the local dealership, maybe I should push for commission!? Rolling with laughter

    Never seen an advert on TV for the model either, and i'm sure we've all seen that Velar/white dogs advert many times!

    And yet adverts mean a model isn’t selling

    I think there was a short run of ad's when it first came out.Certainly haven't seen any recently.

    LR does not need too advertise. The products sell themselves, as are famous worldwide.

    James Bond drives a RRS does he not. That's an advert in itself Laughing Laughing Laughing

    I see ads for the Disco fairly frequently - mostly it's the one with the BAR team inexplicably marooned in the desert with an approaching sand storm, and along comes the D5 to rescue them. I also see a lot on Instagram. I'll have to ask my dealer where the people live who are buying them since they seem to be doing a brisk business.

    I have seen 3-4 Velars around town, but aside from mine, only one other D5. Even up in the ski towns.
