Spent an interesting morning at LR Experience Centre London (well, Luton) today. They were quite happy to accept a voucher that was a little over three years, and when I mentioned I wanted to drive a Discovery, there was next to no lead time to wait, even for a weekend.

Chatting to Tony, our instructor, hardly anyone takes the Discovery out. As you'd...

The D5 failed its MOT with an extremely high fast idle lambda reading.

The technicians spent some time trying to locate a leak in the exhaust manifolds or other connectors but gave up saying I needed to get a LR specialist to take a look. Nice of them to try I suppose.

Sat at home wrestling with the paradox of perfectly normal HC and CO figures and yet very high lambda ….with AI help.

After an hour, I had compiled a list of key...

Retrofit centre console cooler - it can be done, and yes it cools things as expected.

I just wanted to drop a note to the group as I have seen a lot of conflicting info on various sources about the above subject.

I have successfully retro fitted a genuine centre console cooler to my 2019 D5. It was a feature I had in all my previous disco’s and I find it incredibly useful. I’m sure many will start to comment about how useless they are and how it’s...

Hello all. I'll be upfront: I'm not a Discovery owner. I'm an engineer in Turkey and I'm building a two-stage diesel setup around the BMW B57 turbo, which turns out to be the direct sibling of the one on your AJ20-D6 — same Garrett family, same frame, different actuator.

I've spent a few weeks trying to find out what's actually inside this turbo and come up completely empty. Garrett don't publish it, the trade databases stop short of it, and because JLR supply it only as a...
