    Just part X’d my L663 Defender 90 for this beauty D5 D300 Metropolitan Edition. SWMBO didn’t like the Defender very much so she made me get this. Whistle Thumbs Up

    Welcome to the dark side mate, that's a very nice D5...love the colour Cool

    Besides your other half, how does the D5 do in comparison with the Defender for you?

    Thumbs Up Nice. How do you find the road noise on 22’’ wheels? I know they will be quieter than the Defner but I hear the road noise can be a little off putting?

    great colour that.

    I really enjoyed the Defender, comfortable, nice to drive and pulled the caravan with ease. Only downside really was with being the 90 and the rear seats not folding flat it was awkward to load up. The D5 is a completely different animal, more luxurious than the Defender , much better for loading up, pulls the caravan really well. Can’t fault it.
    I have owned Disco’s b4. 2 X TD5’s , great trucks, D4 SE Tech , once again great truck, I would still have the D4 if it hadn’t been stolen, got it back but had to get rid. Also had a Freelander 2 on the way.
    The Mrs as an old Evoque and loves it.

    Can’t say that the road noise is any different from the other trucks I’ve owned, so all good at the moment.
    The colour is Silicon Silver by the way.

    Excellent color choice. I have a 2017 in Silicon Silver and it has aged quite well. It polishes up nicely and looks fantastic in the sun after a good wax. It also looks great with mud on it. Razz
