• conversion of headlights for LHD

• My 2017 TD6 HSE has a setting in the centre dash menu to select the hi-beam pattern to either right or left as Grunders mentioned. Not sure if it's just an HSE option or not?
  
  No, all models have th ...

• Headlight stopped working

• Fair enough, finger crossed your car behaves itself now.
  
  I was on my 6th or 7th new Land Rover., so I am not sure the comment about the car might not be for me is applicable particularly as I’d k ...

• Headlight stopped working

• Nothing is cheap on a Land Rover.
  
  I shouldn’t have got the Earth repaired on the warranty tbh. It’s excluded, but one of these things you hear quite often as corroding.
  
  I am not sure how th ...

• Headlight stopped working

• No, it was all carried out under warranty including the unnecessary replacement of a perfectly good headlamp at roughly £2k.
  
  Thing is they put the headlight in and declared it was fixed. It was a ...

• Headlight stopped working

• No I don’t have a photo unfortunately, the garage repaired it, but I think you’re on the right track.

• Headlight stopped working

• Same.
  
  The garage replaced the headlamp, but the fault persisted. Eventually they discovered it was a rusty earth strap under the offside wing.

• Sim card

• Pre paid. £28 in Argos.
  
  You won’t use more than this in 2 years. I was using it past the date w/o problem.
  
  Now got a non Land Rover vehicle with a built in SIM and a good monthly allowance f ...

• Why hang onto your Disco 5?

• ChrisJerman - It was a rhetorical question and some of the responses were ambiguous.
  
  It’s probably like the LR, time to move on. I am sure we’ve all got better things to do than bicker on a fo ...

• Why hang onto your Disco 5?

• It’s hardly an emotional response to someone with a different perspective.
  
  More over it’s a considered, rational response to the general reliability of the D5 allied to the lack of LR customer ...

• Sorry, but what you write is full of contradictions.
  
  As for saying if you can’t afford the repairs then maybe this vehicle isn’t for you is complete nonsense! Many of us can afford the repairs ...

• New Here (But Not To The LR Family)

• The engine problem primarily relates, but not exclusively, to the 2lt engine.
  
  As for the milage, it has not direct relevance I am afraid.
  
  If it comes with the LR named warranty, then that’s y ...

• Rear wash

• I’ve also heard the washer water above my head since the car was new. The spray pattern is non existent. I never looked into it further tbh.

• Why hang onto your Disco 5?

  The first new engine I had took a couple of months to replace under LR warranty.
  
  Just before they handed it back to me, they took it for a test drive, they discovered the drivers window ...

• Fair enough.
  
  I’d avoid Elgin. I found them particularly patronising to the point of insulting. Haven’t a clue about Aberdeen. Just changed days at Inverness, where I knew everyone at one time. ...
