Guernsey 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 4

Picked up Tuesday so 2 days into ownership.

Yesterday and now today dash has lit up with gearbox, no hdc warnings etc.

Switching it off has cleared problem but tommorrow back to the dealers Big Cry

Otherwise enjoying it muchly.

The seats are so much better than my previous Sport and the engine upgrade is very noticable. It makes observing the speed limits so much harder

The side steps have to go, but am pretty impressed by the ride on the 20 inch wheels, certainly way smoother than the Sport.

Having a Merc E280 inbetween saw the permagrin wiped, but now its back Thumbs Up

Well a few thousand miles done now and running well no problems.

Got round to first mod yesterday, new wheels and tyres (Trying the Grabber AT) thanks to Andy and team at AJS



Couple of questions anyone know what wheels are called or model off, think Range Rover, but need to phone insurance re change.

Anyone got 1 spare of these to make the full set

lespes,

Watch out when you remove the side steps. The 2 No supporting brackets for the steps require that the plastic side trim needs holes cut. If you remove the steps you will see these holes. Have a look on the underside of the steps & you will see what I mean.

Good luck with removing these anyway Smile
