I attended the 'Landys on the Lawn' event at Hatfield House on Sunday 21st June in my 2017 D5 with my sons in a 2006 D3 and at 2010 110 and my wife, daughter in law and seven of our grand children.

I've lived in the same house for 21 years and there's been a Discovery sat on the drive for the last 16 of them. During that entire time, not a single bird has shown the slightest interest in it.🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Then, about 10 days ago, a local crow appears to have become absolutely obsessed with the car.
It started innocently enough. He'd sit on the wing mirrors and peck at his reflection in the glass, and then poo all down the side of the car. Fair...

Dear All,
Not a new landrover owner here but certainly a new Disco 5 owner as of a few days ago . (2022 D300 HSE)
Researching what engine oil to use for the D300, for UK & Irish climate should it be 0W30 or 5W30?
what are people using in the D300 and whats the advice?
Sorry if this has been covered before.
Thanks

Can anyone tell me if these will fit the disco 5. I have 21 inch on already but they need a refurb. These may be a cheaper option, and they are a nice pattern. They are genuine land rover, and just been refurbed, but i can't get a definitive answer off the internet.

Just got a new 26 Metropolitan D350 MHEV

Does anyone know where the 12v and 48v batteries are? Noticed the boot doesn’t seem to have the removable panel where my previous MY18 12v battery was.

Have any of you done it? What setup have you used and is there a way to put the car into a kind of sleep mode so the ecu/bcu’s shut down so the tailgate can stay up to use a tailgate tent without the battery going flat? Pics would be great of your setups.

Thanks
