• No steering assist in 2025?!?

• Nice find, these guys are 5 mins from me, I'll drop them a line.
  
  I think it's the same group of people I've spoken to about the dreaded crankshaft failures, just under a different 'brand'. They we ...

• Looking for used buying advice

• Get insurance quotes, you may find the older one is significantly more difficult to insure due to the cut-off for retrofitting of security improvements.

• It's a little offensive that their product team decided Discovery owners don't deserve the opportunity to add (and pay for) that option if they want it. It's clearly not about price point as the Vela ...

• No steering assist in 2025?!?

• Irritating, I find it very useful. It’s not perfect but then it’s not full autonomous driving it’s an assist that requires you to stay in control. I can’t see why they wouldn’t be able to ...

• I'm considering a second D5 for my wife before they stop making them, or all we're able to get from the next generation is electric which we don't want. So, I've been looking at new Disco 5's via the ...

• Interesting, those are a size up from the standard disco tyres - similar to the 285/45/22 mentioned at the start of this thread or 275/55/20. I’ve done quite a bit of research on wheel/tyre sizes, ...

• 3,300-mile European road trip complete & love this car!!

• Looks like a great roadtrip. We love our D5 too exactly for this sort of thing. My parents live down at the foot of the Pyrenees so we make the trip down at least once per year - usually with an int ...

• ODBII Scanners

• I have an Ottofix, it's ok for diagnostics and maintenance on a range of cars but not good for specifically coding on LRs.
  
  Thing has paid for itself though. I always had an issue with my D5 adapti ...

• Cooled seats

• You think? I might use mine for 2 mins in the summer to cool the leather down, beyond that I find they make me want to pee!
  
  I also find LR heated seats are rubbish. Slow to heat up and inconsiste ...

• Is the 'General' forum broken or is it just me having an issue? Was going to post a thread about my recent findings on wheel/tyre sizes and options - to save others some time and research. Seems it' ...

  I wonder, if you did install larger tyres how do you reconfigure th ...
