Good evening,

I have owned my 2017 D5 3.0 HSE since October 25 and really love it.

My only query is if I leave the car for a week or more, I get the 'Low Battery - Start Engine' come up on the dash. Is this a common thing or should I renew the battery?

I tend to user the car only for longer runs as I understand they don't like being used on short journeys in town as it can clog up the emissions systems. Otherwise I would use it a lot...

I have acquired a scratch on the grey/silver bumper which just needs a bit of filler and a paint touch up.

I cannot find which paint colour it is! It’s not identified in the VIN and I am given to understand that there isn’t a paint code for this just an ethereal JLR name like “ceres grey” or something like that.

Has anyone done a touch up and discovered what the color is?thx

Hi

My discovery is currently at main dealer having been recovered there start of the week.

Arrived at destination and turned car off- had a "vehicle not in park" message which was unusual.

Car then wouldn't start. Hazards wouldn't work. Wouldn't lock- completely unresponsive, with...

Hi folks,

We got our new (to us) 2020 Discovery 5 HSE back in September. It’s the 2.0 diesel Ingenium variant and we love it. It hasn’t been without its issues though.

We bought the car from a LR main dealer and within a few days of collecting the car, we had an engine management light. LR sent someone to the house and it turned out to be a broken wire which was repaired there and then on the driveway. I also noticed that the engine never quite reached...

General • D250 Timing belts question?

Hi guys,

We are picking up a 2022 R-Dynamic D250 MHEV (60k miles) on Friday (main dealer) and when questioned, the sales guys told us that there were no timing belts that needed to be replaced!

Google suggests that this isn’t the case, but I wanted to know what the official schedule is for the belt changes.

Is it part of the official service schedule?

What’s the cost of the belt change, as I can factor this into the deal.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the spam, but we are excited to have our new to us 2022 R-Dynamic SE D250 arriving next week. I am looking at mats / boot liners / roof vars etc to fit the car and I note that some adverts state different years for suitability.

Are there any restrictions on buying mats etc/ for D5's prior to 2022, or are they all interchangable. I thought that the facelift in 2021, was for external cosmetic features only?

Thank you

Hi all,
I think the front passengers side window regulator has gone.
Are they the same for pre and post face lift?
I have seen a lot advertised as up to 2020 and mine is a 2021 face lift.
Thanks

Hi All,

I'm toying with the idea of replacing the suspension rubbers with a polybush set.

I'm thinking of longer life and MOT checks.

There seems to be a few different views on their use with the view that ride quality and road noise are unduly affected.

Anyone got any view on the pros and cons of this change?

Phil
