I've had some tense moments going through narrow gateways in the Lake District and on Exmoor. I honestly don't think I'd have made it through if the D3/4 had been 1-2 inches wider.



20 mm or three quarters of an inch

Have added a couple more things I had forgotten about.

Bigger fuel tank used to be 95 litres on D2 which gave 500 miles plus ~(as mentioned on thread)

Hard load space cover option, something similar to full fat.

Proper secure locking towbar.

Proper spare wheel theft protection Thumbs Up

The widest wheel track is an extra 80mm (front on D5 vs rear on D3/4) - does anyone have a wheel arch to wheel arch comparison?

Yes I agree
Some things here ...

D5 Landrover capability
New Discovery retains renowned Land Rover all-terrain capability thanks to its combination of excellent off-road geometry and advanced technology, while improving its everyday usability.

...


They conveniently manage to omit the reduced approach and breakover angles though...

Break over is 27.5 in the D5 and D4 27.3 Whistle

Departure D5 30 and D4 25.4

It's only the approach angle that's less D5 34 and D5 36.2

LR website says 34, 27 (i.e. 126), 30. I have the D3 down as 37.2, 124.2 (i.e. 27.9), 29.6. Perhaps there is some poor rounding on LR's part. Thumbs Up

I think that when the rest of the xxxx models in store to be released by JLR get on the market, there will be a successor of the Defender with a more square and sturdy profile as the D5... It all moves upmarket, like the smaller cars all getting bigger... Present day Polo is the size of a 90-ties Golf... So all you need to do is sit back, wait for the new defender 7-seater and you'll have a D4 renaissance at a lower price as the D5... Whistle

To be fair, i remember laughing when i first saw the D3, that anyone would spend £30,000, on a glorified transit connect van, have come to love it now. Thumbs Up
