This sums it up for me.
Do I like the new D5 ...... No I don't!
Would I ram my opinion down everyone's throat (even if it leads to thread closures) .... NO I wouldn't.
Would I have a new D5 ...... Like hell I would.

I personally would like to see One forum for both the L319 & L462. There is so much to share between the two and i'm sure 99.9% of the members would get along absolutely fine with it.
I'm a member of the FullFat forum which caters for the L322 & L405 and works brilliantly and i would say having one forum would do well to mitigate any "us" and "them" culture.
If members are intent on constantly stirring things up they should be dealt with individually by the moderators.
I agree with that. It's a shame as a lot of people will probably eventually move onto a D5, so would have been good to combine both so that you could learn about the new one whilst still having the old one (sorry I mean best one)

Now this has become another D5 thread and the D5 sub forum is open again, please could one of the mods put it back in the D5 sub forum?

I realise that naming the site DISCO3 12 years ago was a huge mistake 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Dont blame yourself Martin you were only 16 years old at the time there is nothing wrong with the sites as they are. after all its only a click of the mouse.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

At the risk of repeating myself still only seen one on Tyneside. Other half saw one on Friday but seems it was the same as previous. Might have a trip to dealer to have another look as still not sure about changing to D5.2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.

I know I'm not located in the best part of the world to make full use of these vehicles, but it's not uncommon to see the odd 'Chelsea Tractor' But I've only seen One since they hit the roads!!
Personally I think it will only be the Petrol model that lures me away from my D4, and looking at the D5 forum it looks like that's not happening any time soon.Discovery 4 HSE

I've seen a few on the roads, one in our village and lots on transporters on the A34. Presumably a lot are going export.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
