    Hi and thank you

    Evening all!
    I should hopefully be picking up a used D5 at the end of next week.
    I’ve been reading through many of the posts over the past few months before taking the plunge.
    Some great info that has been very helpful in finding the right Disco - so thanks again.
    Less than a week left with the D4....

    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Lux Carpathian Grey

    Welcome and look forward to hearing and seeing more of your D5! What have you gone for?

    Love the D4 and kind of sad that I never owned one.

    Re: Hi and thank you

    Are you using a local dealer or going further afield?

    I've been dealing with Roger Young and I got my D3 from them too.

    I’m using a local dealer. I got the D4 from Roger Young.
    It’s an HSE Lux, not the colour I’d go for but it’s fully loaded, very low mileage with the lighter Nimbus interior.
    Also it’s got 19” wheels (they don’t look too bad...) so a little better for driving around in the lanes and pot holes here. Another dealer had a Silicon Silver (my first choice colour) but with 22” wheels, not as high spec, more mileage and I’d have to get a tow bar on it - which isn’t cheap even with a discount - the choice has been made!
    Hopefully collect by the end of the week so I’ll post a photo when it lands.

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Fuji White

    how does an HSE LUX end up on 19" wheels? Thought all LUX had 21" as standard?

    My HSE lux came with 20 inch, 21 was at extra cost. I think only UK has or had a free choice between 20 and 21.

    It’s a LR management car so I guess anything goes with spec, suits me for where we will be using it.

    All going well but I'm sure the 165 dealer check doesn't include actually checking if things work on the car.
    Booked in for next week to check a few things - why don't they just sort it before it goes out?

    Thanks, wouldn’t have been my first choice from web pics but interior and spec swung it and it looked good in the sun! Seems it was a RHH car too = I guess hence the 19” wheels for ‘estate ‘ driving.
