    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Corris Grey

    HSE SDV6 ordered

    Being risk averse and in view of the oil dilution issues with TDV6 engines reported extensively by members here and on the other Forum, I've been holding off placing an order until now. Finally placed an order at my local JLR dealer Grange, Swindon, Wiltshire last Friday 25th. Impressive new JLR dealership opened some six months ago.

    Following spec:

    Corris Grey
    Light Oyster/Espresso Windsor Leather etc
    Black Exterior Pack
    20" 10 Split -Spoke Style 1011 Alloys
    Privacy Glass
    Electric Sunroof
    Technology Plus Pack
    Driver Assist Pack
    Secure Tracker
    Terrain Response 2
    Heated Steering Wheel
    Centre Console Cool Box
    Cabin Air Ionisation
    Adaptive Dynamics - added 1st Feb

    Have been advised my new car may arrive in March, but I have my doubts. Given the recent JLR announcements about additional shut-down due to Brexit (8 - 12 April plus 15 - 23 for the usual planned Easter maintenance), I think delivery is unlikely to be before May.

    I guess patience is a virtue but if anybody has any recent experience or intelligence I'd be pleased to hear from you.

    Sounds really nice.

    I haven't been disappointed with my move from D4 to D5. Every time I get into the car she feels special, and is a pleasure to drive. I was very unsure before I ordered (more so than on any car previously), so I hope you enjoy!

    Also hope you drove a wicked bargain from the dealer, in this climate Wink

    I was delighted with my big discount when I ordered last July, and can only imagine there's even richer pickings out there now!

    Please do share pics when she arrives!

    Hi,
    I notice you say you have”black side mouldings” are they the sticky backed door protectors by any chance, if so got them on my D4 and have saved me a few times 👍

    Yes they are - the genuine LR item, and this time they’ve stayed stuck. Had terrible problems with the D4 ones and ended up having LR take them off as three sets all peeled off!

    Would you have any pictures with them fitted by any chance, not seen them on a D5 before 👍
    Cheers

    Apparently LR are discontinuing Loire blue and Coris grey replacing it Portofino Blue and Eiger Grey.
    I’m now torn between carpathian, Indus, silicon and fatal in black. Has anyone seen a farallon black in the flesh? It looks almost navy (which is what I’m after) on the configurator but black 8in pictures online.
    I’m put dynamic pack with 22” 5025

    Black is fantastic when it's polished but it depends how much you enjoy cleaning I suppose. Carpathian looks fab IMO on the FFRR so I'd guess it'd suit this car too and it's a little more forgiving than Black Smile

    Mine is farallon black. It's black with a blue sparkle. In some lights it looks black and in others it can appear dark blue or dark blueish-green. I like it. Thumbs Up

    I haven’t cleaned a car for 20 years and I’m not about to start now .
    JonM do you have any pics of yours? This is the look I’m after.

    Yes, I've got photos but the colour is difficult to accurately represent in a photo. If you go to your local dealer, they should have painted samplers that you can look at.
