Do you miss it? As one of the first owners I still associate you with it. Your signature so to speak. Thumbs Up

Yes and no.

The Discovery will always be my favoured LR, I do miss some of the additional storage, the command driving position, but the Velar is the best of both. I’ve got the all weather ability, which the Velar has been faultless through this weather, and the more sporting drive.

I wouldn’t mind a D3 to sit along side the Velar, look of the D3 does it for me over the 4 and 5.

It’s good you’ve got sorted to your satisfaction. A D3 would be a nice project. I loved mine which is why I kept it 8 years. The D4 has been trouble free (touch wood) and I think I will just keep it. At my age it could be my last car anyway. The only thing I have seen that I liked was the RS2. Nice one in my local stealers.

These have been around for a few months and reported on here several times before, but I’ve yet to see one on the road.

It fixes the single worst aspect of the ‘5 but, for many, the whole design is way beyond fixing by tinkering Rolling Eyes Meanwhile, ‘5 owners seem to wear the offset plate as a badge of honour - in a great anti-style statement!

On that basis, I’m not sure who’s going to buy one, but I’ll keep looking out.

...enough that if I do get a D5 Commercial in the next 12 months I may well be posting pictures of this mod on a real car Mr. Green
 LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.
