Finally got a D4
Been hanging about for a while while I kept thinking about getting a Discovery and selling the Defender, finally got oneš. 2013 xs in Ipanema Sand, bodywork in immaculate condition, got it a good deal taking a bit of a punt on a suspension fault showing up, wheels had just been refurbed by a local company to the seller and he hadnāt a clue about the correct jacking procedure so hopefully just needing recalibrated but even if itās something a bit more it was still a good dealš.
Iāve got the Hawkeye total for my Defender, can it do much for the Disco4 or would it be better to sell it when I sell the Defender and get a GaP11BT?
Looking to get a set of tyres for it as well, the current ones are legal and passed an MoT ok but not much life left In them, like the look of Duratracs but not sure about any insurance issues with the Q speed rating on themš³. Iām used to the noise levels of Cooper discoverer STT Pros on the defender but Donāt really need full mud terrains and would prefer a dual purpose for a bit less noise and better ride and fuel consumptionš.

I fitted Duratracs - I advised the insurance company about the Q rating but they were fairly relaxed - I seem to remember that the Q rating is for speeds of up to 112mph - way more than the legal limit here, so not an issue.
