    Best Rack?

    i went with Thule Aero bars. It serves my needs, just fine. They fit well and don't produce a lot of wind noise. I like the look of the Front Runner gear, but it seems like that would make a ton of noise.

    Hd package / rear locker how to tell?

    No idea, but I put mine in snow mode and a screen pops up showing the "locking" of the axles on the dashboard. Guess that's an easy way.

    2020 Defender Drive Impressions.

    Took a drive in the Defender today. Was thinking I should have waited for it instead of getting the new Discovery in 2019. Was very impressed. This is the legacy replacement to the Defender and LR4. It’s tough looking, rides well, and you can tell it’ll be a great off-roader. That said, I...

    2021 facelift released

    Getting rid of the turn knob almost makes me want to trade in mine. I can't tell you how much I hate those things. The rest of the changes look fairly modest. I can do without the two-tone seats, but whatever. Here's a link with good photos, btw: https://www.caranddriver.com/land-rover/discovery

    Replacement for Chrome Around Drive Selector

    Does anyone know if there's a factory or aftermarket item that can replace the chrome next to the cup holders, just below the drive selector knob? It's like a mirror that I have to cover with something during my normal drives. Small gripe, I know, but it's an annoyance I can do without. Any...

    Engine Shuts Off

    Wasn't aware that lemon laws applied to used cars. Depends on whether you bought it "as is" or not, but I'd try to get it fixed before starting a letter writing campaign.

    Battery Location?

    I was told it has two by the dealer (when mine recently fried and had to be towed to the dealer), and that's somewhat standard for LR/Jaguar. I just helped an elderly relative get the 2nd battery replaced on their Jaguar.

    Battery Location?

    That's the point. It's hidden somewhere with really no guidelines on how to access it unless you take it to a dealer.

    Battery Location?

    Are there not two? Guess that's a separate easter egg hunt.

    Neutral Manual Override?

    Thanks for sharing...

    Neutral Manual Override?

    So, I'm coming from an LR4 to a D5. Mine was a 2012 that had a manual shifter instead of the turn knob. If you have the turn knob, you probably have the same issue. This has only happened to me once, but I'm only at 10K miles. It's a software issue, but it seems that it's not uncommon on...

    Neutral Manual Override?

    Not moving the car is not an option when it has to be towed to the dealership. The vehicle had to be dragged onto the tow truck. That can't be good on the transmission. One of my points is that I think it's required to have a neutral override on vehicles. There's nothing in the manual...

    So here is why after owning (4) Land Rovers I don't think I will ever own one again.

    Ya know, this might be my last Rover, as well. It's not that I'm having issues with the vehicle (which I am), but these things are just too hard to service and maintain. Land Rover/Jaguar are basically designing vehicles that require you to take them to the dealership to get fixed. It's...

    0% APR

    You guys need to figure out that you buy vehicles under an LLC and then fully depreciate it in the first year of service. So what if it just depreciated by 50%, you were able to write off 100% of the vehicle on your taxes. It's a no brainer. AND...I think I did buy my 2005 LR3 at 0% interest...

    Neutral Manual Override?

    I’ll peek to see if it’s there when I get it back. Been a week without it, so far. Hoping to get it back next week
