D5 4 pot “loaner”.
This morning my D4 went in to have the sunroof blinds adjusted and to investigate why the TPMS seems to no longer show a reading. I have the use of a 4 cylinder D5 for 2-3 days.
There’s a lot to like and dislike about it, much of the later relates specifically to me being a whisker under 6ft7” tall.
I’ll post a mini review once I’ve clocked up a couple of hundred miles of mixed motoring. In the meantime here it is in its natural environment-Waitrose car park. 😀

A respray of the nappy would work wonders to the rear end. Ones I’ve seen with colour matched to rear bumper look better.2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.
