    Just received my notice to put my deposit down on a Grenadier

    No diesel option. Not interested.

    Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding

    Wiper blades. And the best way to guarantee that the serpentine belt will never fail is to have a spare readily available.

    Ignition (engine) Start Stop malfunction / warning

    Shaggy, Is the alternator not sufficient to keep the engine running, even if the battery develops problems or is disconnected after the vehicle is started?

    2018 HSE TD6 brake controller

    It's behind the cover above the brake pedal. See .

    Wiper blades

    Get the part # and enter it in the Amazon search window. Price will still be high ($79.95/pair for my D5) but you should be able to beat the dealer price by a wide margin.

    ‘19 20inch Discover wheels?

    No problems with these from Amazon -- ITM Set of 4 433mhz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensors for 2017-2018 Land Rover Discovery Replacement but, of course, Balto would need to get the correct part number for his LR4.

    ‘19 20inch Discover wheels?

    I'm very happy with these, which I ordered from Amazon (copy and paste) -- 23 Black Wheel Lug Nuts for 2006+ Land Rovers - Replaces RRD500590 RRD500510

    ‘19 20inch Discover wheels?

    Yes they will fit. https://www.redbournewheels.com/ makes aftermarket wheels exclusively for Land Rover vehicles (mine are the Bashfords) and, according to their fitment guide at https://www.redbournewheels.com/, their 20" wheel part numbers are the same for both the 2019 Discovery and the 2015...

    New to me 2018 Disco 5 Diesel

    I don't compromise on wheels or tires and good wheels aren't cheap (unless you can score a used set from a private party). When I ordered mine from Amazon 3 years ago they were $360 each but that included free shipping and no tax (at the time) so the total was $1800 (which, coincidentally, was...

    New to me 2018 Disco 5 Diesel

    Redbourne Wheels (https://www.redbournewheels.com/) -- aftermarket wheels (including black ones) exclusively for Land Rover vehicles. The web site has a wheel configurator where you can see how they'll look on your Disco, right down to the vehicle colors that were available that year. I...

    Disable Eco start/stop action permanently

    Very easy to permanently deactivate auto stop/start, with no side effects, on the New Discovery Td6. If anyone decides to trade up to a D5 diesel, revisit this thread and I'll post a photo.

    Rewiring accessories to use the 2nd battery?

    So glad my D5 has only one battery and that it was easy to disable the automatic stop-start function.

    Discovery 5 (MY'22) major issues

    Glad to hear the dealer is at least trying to resolve the matter. Did they offer you a loaner? A little more specificity regarding your location might be of interest to some forum members.

    Discovery 5 (MY'22) major issues

    Heilig Scheiße! There's no excuse for Land Rover USA not getting your new '22 Disco fixed and back on the road immediately! The dealer should pull out all stops to make that happen. If they can't, then they should immediately credit you the full selling price and exchange the Disco for...

    Coolant consumption

    If a dealer told me that it was normal for a vehicle to consume coolant I'd find another dealer to service my vehicle. Assuming that "Woke Island" Texas (AKA Austin) has only one Land Rover Dealer, you're just going to have to leave your D5 with them the next time it needs coolant.

    Should I keep my 2018 LR Discovery Diesel long term?

    38,850. I like the 16,000 mile service interval on the Td6 but I change the oil and filter in my garage at the half way point (will do it at 40,000 miles). Can't get used to 16,000-mile oil changes.

    Should I keep my 2018 LR Discovery Diesel long term?

    I absolutely love my 2017 D5 Td6 -- one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. Just got back to Las Vegas after a trip to Salt Lake City -- 25+ mpg with cruise control set on 80. It's paid for and I wouldn't trade it straight across for a new Defender. The D5 exceeds all other Land Rover...

    2021 Discovery Order

    Your dealer is "reluctant"? and you're "waiting on approval"??? Your dealer has obviously sized you up as being a weak customer that he can jerk around. Don't expect this dealer to go out of his way to make you happy.

    Need a part number for a trim clip

    I thought your mats looked like the same WeatherTechs that I have but I don't have the carpet inlays. Are those just OEM Discovery carpet mats that you've attached on top of the WeatherTechs?

    Need a part number for a trim clip

    You'll probably have to order them directly from the UK (or Slovakia) if Corporate is willing to sell them. You should be able to get a POC from Land Rover USA. If I were in your position I'd bite the bullet and buy a new panel while continuing efforts to get the proper clips for the original...

    2017 D5 with Brembo Brake conversion

    I'm learning a lot about slotted rotors as I study this subject. According to https://www.zeckhausen.com/, the direction of the cooling vanes between the rotor plates is what determines the proper direction of the slots; not the direction of the slots themselves. I'll continue to research the...

    2017 D5 with Brembo Brake conversion

    You installed your Power Stop rotors incorrectly. The slots are supposed to be pointed toward the front at the outer edge of the rotors, which means you have the left rotor on the right side and vice versa. It's counter-intuitive until you think about it and realize that having the slots...

    Show off your D5

    NICE! Obviously, the admiring blurred faces in the background think so, too!

    Show off your D5

    If you you're taking it off road any time soon then I recommend you make Lucky8's Proud Rhino Rock Sliders your next upgrade (before the winch tray and push plate). Also pricey, but cheaper than repairing a dinged rocker panel.
