Indeed. I’m sure there’s one out there.
Buying it to help my son and daughter in law get a starter for 10, who are coming to uk where they are starting life again and she’ll need 4x4 capability for work.

Hi all,
2 weeks into a Disco 4 after 27 years as a hard top Defender owner so relishing the comfort.
Intending to do some family overlanding in future starting with the Pyrenees later this year.
Hope to be able to learn from the wealth of experience on this site as I add upgrades to the car.
Best
D

Hello 👋 I have been using the forum for a few months now since purchasing my disco. Decided to register today as looking for most likely causes for a harsher ride

Hi all,
Great site! Just bought a disco 4. Have used this site over the past few months to do some research and then ignored all the stellar advice and bought a high mileage one  Hopefully, if it’s got this far, it’ll do a few more miles with some tlc…
Anyway, currently trying to source an antenna that I only noticed was missing the other day  lr014110 is the part I believe 
Cheers,
S.

Hello all, my current LR is a LR4 2016. I find that switching to the snow and gravel setting on the terrain response gives me a smoother acceleration experience driving in the city than in the normal mode in which the LR4 jerks forward on acceleration. Is it acceptable to drive in this mode for long periods of time?
Many thanks

Hi,
I actually have an L320 Range Rover Sport and already a member on the www.rrsport.co.uk but with the close similarities between the two vehicles I thought I would join on here also.

Long time Landy Owner of many different flavours!
Currently we have a 2007 D3 GS TDV6 and a 2005 FL1 Td4.
Previously we have run RRCL's, P38's, L322's, Defenders and an FL2 over the last 20+ years!
Our Discovery we got for free from an older chap who was beginning to find it too big for his needs and quite liked our FL2 so we swapped....this Disco has a few issues which we are working through - and a fellow D3 owner suggested popping on here and increasing our knowledge from the fine fellows and fellowettes on here.
Such fun!
