    My LR4 next to a new Discovery...

    I don't think they are doing the brand any favors - glad they didn't do this to an LR4! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/cars/article-4951024/Inside-Jamie-Oliver-s-amazing-Land-Rover-Discovery-kitchen.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR5 Release Updates?

    We joined a convoy of 10 disco 4's yesterday - they had already driven from Beijing to Frankfurt, and were on the last leg of their journey to solihull in the U.K. - what a fantastic trip that must be!! I would for sure much prefer to do it in an LR4 than the new discovery - how about you...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Oxmanagain really nails it with this video - this is exactly how I feel about my LR4 as a daily driver. The off road chops are spectacular too, but for day to day this guy nails it and the LR5 doesn't :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you see prince Philip sitting and watching the carriage trials in a new discovery? Neither can I! The D4 looks right at home here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Yes the dealer was telling me that the D5 is even more luxurious than its predecessor but even he wasn't really convinced. There are a few positives with the D5 I loved the wristband access and the cubby holes the cool box in the armrest is much deeper too. Oh and the automatic parking brake...

    Hi AxelR What did you think of the front armrests in the D5? They seemed to be so flimsy they just made me laugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR5 Release Updates?

    And coming in with a Zanzibar bronze Medal for third place the lr4 retaining almost 60% of its value after three years. I wonder why that could be - maybe deefer owners could help us understand? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/cars/article-4450912/The-2017-new-cars-retain-value.html Sent...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    What I realized is that the pure joy I feel when I get into the D4 was completely missing from the new discovery - it just felt rather bland in comparison! I'm thinking original mini vs new mini or original beetle vs new beetle. No longer iconic and a massive trade off in character in order to...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I test drove one at the weekend and I was really surprised at how light it felt compared with our D4. I didn't think the ride was a smooth and the back end tailgate is a bit of a mess. It opens too high for a garage. But you can limit the height it opens to. Then even a shorty like me risks...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Ok so best to wait for the warranty to expire! Thank you umbertob! What do you think of the velar? 2cm longer than the Evoque and 2cm shorter than the RRS as far as I can see! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I went on a LR experience day recently and the LR4 they provided was really kitted out. This is much better than a cigar lighter - does anyone know where I can get one? The Land Rover experience were using the LR4 as their rock. supporting all the other LR vehicles, on expeditions to...

    New Range Rover Velar anyone? Are we looking at different sizes of the same pair of shoes? I hope you guys are right about the future defender because I am keeping my LR4 forever! http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2017-range-rover-velar-pictures-new-suv Sent from my iPhone using...

    Took my wife out for her first drive this morning all went really well she liked the truck. Then turning left out of a tricky junction this muppet came flying towards us doing about 50km/hr over the speed limit I shouted to Mrs Ditton to stop ... She never listens to me anyway.... So she...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I have just been thinking that it might be difficult to fit a snorkel to the new Discovery I think the increase in standard wading depth comes at a price the side vents are now fake and the actual air intake is through vents underneath the hood as in the RR and RRS Sent from my iPhone using...

    Hi Fernando I still don't see your photos... I don't know what the issue is. Congrats on your LR4 too. I guess like me you are either out driving the LR4 or surfing this site looking for info and photos when you aren't out driving the New rig [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    # fishjump running boards weren't standard here - I don't know maybe the roads are too narrow in old Europe? I have noticed differences in standard kit on the Landmark by market Europe UK and US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's a 2016 landmark or half a black pack ;) the wheels are fab you don't see it but they have sparkles in them. Ok it's a bit girly but I can live with that! It's a good point maybe the stealer is selling my black alloys? It really does feel like I got in just in time - the LR5 seems like a...

    I pick my first LR4 up tomorrow. It is a dream come true! No buyers regret wrt to not ordering a LR5 instead. This is the right choice for me.... But then I am not like most people! The LR5 might be an astonishing car, but the LR4 has all that...and much more personality! Lr4 defined its...
