It’s a 7 seater standard HSE 2006, not commercial. First time yesterday trying to do the speed limit on motorway!

It’s in low range. Is this the issue? The Discovery didn’t come with a handbook and I have ordered one! Thanks

Censored that’s a good one. Should have spotted that. Almost in the same league as ‘I put my handbag on the HDc button and now it grinding!

Glad you found the issue. Fuel consumption should improve.

I feel a little stupid! Only recently bought the discovery and its very nice! Many thanks for your assistance 👍 to make you laugh a little more I drove 160 miles in low range. Couldn’t do more than 60 MPH!! Very frustrating! Ha!
