Back driving a Discovery
Hi all I’m back I have bought a 21 reg Discovery is a S 250D with twin sun roof, roof rails, heated steering wheel and privacy glass. The colour is white with 20in silver wheels, its Land Rover approved.
I got 12 months warranty plus an extra 12 months from the dealer and I’ve paid for 12 months, so in total 3 years full warranty with breakdown cover. We all know the Discovery is a fabulous car but reliability let’s it down
I’m also going to fit mud flaps and side steps, I’m really pleased with 20in wheels. My last Discovery I had had 21in which were perfect for 3 1/2 year until I kerbed them 3 times
I think 19in are to small 21in & 22in look great but with our potholes and poor roads it can affect the ride quality. We’re 20in I think are a good compromise on looks and cheaper to replace ( showing my age ) I’m also thinking I might have the wheels painted black ?
Also the dealer trying to sell some extras like GAP insurance @ £550. for 48 months but I’ve done some research online and I can get it for £250. for 48 months which work out at £1.20 per week. I’ve never had GAP insurance before but because I’m retiring and want have the same income perhaps it’s a good idea.
I’m really excited about my new car and once I’ve got it I’ll put some photos on

When I was looking for a Discovery there’s not many S models around lots of SE, HSE all with bigger wheels.
I could bought a Discovery with 21 or 22 and perhaps sold them then got 20in, the Landmark seems to have 20in they are well speced but was finished in 20 reg.
I’m going to personalise my Discovery with side steps, mud flaps, door protective mouldings, window wind deflectors and I might get the wheels painted black.
I pick my Discovery up on the 13th of February, we got lots of holidays already booked

Thank you I’m delighted to be back, 18in would definitely be better for off reading and ride quality.
