I will be uploading many more photos later
Also had a little drive earlier, having driven the D4 a few times I had a good feel for that but getting into the D5 today felt like climbing into the starship enterprise in comparison It makes the D4 feel so small. Its very planted on the road and doesn't roll in the corners very much. Engine and Box feel much smoother in the few short runs I've been in it for. Front seat seem a lot more comfy but the rears in not to sure on. I also had a quick look at the Land Rover Apps. Starting the car while its locked and no one is in it is the strangest thing, but very very clever.2009 Discovery 3 HSE - Gone

Do you know why there is two "Auto" buttons? Do they control different things ?Peter

Yes two auto buttons as each person an set the climate control to auto for their side of the car.
Few more thoughts, front washer jets are very good and clear the screen well, however the wipers leave a vertical line on the screen on the drivers side once it dries, not a major issue but not great,
Wipers can also be parked in a winter position so they can be moved off the screen which is a big plus.
Some of the trim seems a bit flimsy but time will tell.
The 4x4 screen has ore info including a screen which shows angle of car both length ways and side to side, a nice touch I thought.
Saturday it will get a good run as we are off to Eastnor for a bit of off roading will report more after that.
Think Mark has some more pictures to put up including the tow bar which appears to be a massive cross member that bolts to the rear chassis legs, I will get some pictures of the actual to hook tomorrow a well.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

I wouldn't be parking it next to that block work wall with the winds we've had lately
