    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Corris Grey

    D5 decision

    I have had no faults with my D5 it is a wonderful car. (1400 miles)

    However due to so much negative reporting on this (or sister) site I have decided to sell/trade won't be saying to what in case nasty people follow me and my new car.

    I will report the stuff given by this site to Landrover Customer service to hopefully improve the brand.

    Just saying goodbye.

    Hi,

    Sorry Peter but your decision seems a bit....daft...to me.

    I certainly wouldn't sell a car based on the experience of a very small minority of D5 owners.

    LR sold 3500 units in UK in March , I haven't seen Aprils figures and the "Rest of the world" - but I would say the few "unfortunates" on here shouldn't taint your experience.

    Just my 10p's worth - and not intending to be-little or offend anyone!

    Sorry to see you go but I think your reasoning seems odd, I could understand if the cars been plagued with problems or it doesn't suit your needs but just based on comments doesn't make much sense.

    All the best.

    Hi Peter, hang in there mate. Don't be so hasty. Your one of the lucky ones who have had no trouble, so am a bit puzzled too say the least, why the rash decision? Shocked

    I have probably had more problems than the rest of the guys on the D5 forum put together. Just unlucky I suppose as it's the FIRST EDITIONS that are mostly having the issues, plus the dealers not helped my situation either. I am merely a drop in the ocean so too speak.

    Am still not giving up though, plus no matter what anyone said or told me I will not be scared off into selling my car.

    I was in 2 minds whether too post my car issues, but if I kept quiet, no one would believe me, with all the issues I have had, plus I did not want other unfortunates too suffer the same nightmare am still suffering. Not only that, it's been embarassing for me posting all my issues up, plus I was in no way having a go at other D5 owners, as was only referring too my vehicle, not tarring them all with the same brush. Also LR monitor these sites like a Hawk, so I was hoping LR picks up on what's been happening too my car.

    I just hope that after you read my tuppence worth, that you will come too your senses. No matter what 4X4 your getting, you will never have anything that comes close too the LR, plus you will regret it mate. Surprised

    Like I said in a post yesterday, they are flawless when working correctly. I would never even entertain anything else brand wise for a full size 4 x 4 as nothing comes remotely close, plus as I have said before, if it's good enough for Her Majesty it's good enough for me Thumbs Up

    Peter Always nice to read yours and everybody else's posts. Both negative and postive. I don't think I would be selling a car on the basis of what other people think. Sadly I based my Color on that. My mistake.

    Come back Peter we miss you...
