You described Discovery perfectly. It’s utilitarian yet sophisticated; for sports of all types, yet a family vehicle. It’s the perfect vehicle ehdn it works.
We too have issues with our 2017 disco 5 (new engine, heater matrix blah blah blah) and Marshall have been generally good with us. We bought the car from a different Land Rover ‘chain’ who weren’t interested with our issues but Marshall took them on with LR. Also reluctant to get another disco!
I have just purchased my 3rd discovery, a slight hiatus between the last one and this, because of the Covid disruption to supply chain. 2012 Discovery 4 HSE - Perfect car (Black on black on black) 2017 Discovery 5 HSE Luxury - all the bells and whisles (silicon silver) 2023 Discovery 5 Metropolitan - Back in the right car for me, (D300)
I have a 2017 SE V6. 100,000 kms. It is one of the most realiable cars I have had. Previously a multiple Subaru owner. About to order another. Best car for an active person I surf, ski and do adventure holiday like bush walking and exploring place like Fraser Island on sand.
Really hope the Disco 6 is a step in the right direction, refine/ redesign the back, sort the electrics, make it look modern but a hint to the past discoveries just like the Range Rover has done, really hope they do not take any design from the Velar as I really do not like that car design at all. I still have my 14 disco 4 hse and love it, over 2 years now ownership and still going strong with 93lk miles!
I really wanted a D5. Sadly, I don't have the space (or had the budget at the time) for one, and won't for the foreseeable future. I have a Disco Sport instead and love that. Would still jump to a D5 if circumstances changed though. I am even a fan of the rear tailgate design 🤣
Williams Manchester were very good with me when my Discovery Sport completely shut down. However when I paid another £324 for them to check over my vehicle so I could buy a Land Rover extended warranty, diagnostics found another code popping up but they couldn’t pinpoint the exact location of the fault. This was just weeks after they had my car in for full diagnostic check and changing parts to clear the initial fault. The lesson is NEVER LET A LAND ROVER VEHICLE FALL OUT OF WARRANTY.
Took over three months to get my 2018 HSE back after replacing the wiring loom. this was caused by water ingress through windscreen and sun roof. One problem after another after another. 😒😒😒.... Got rid and bought BMW.
Superb Video. Have you not used the winged headrests? I’m stepping away from a RRS to a Metropolitan D300, no regrets as the new D5 is such an excellent vehicle. You know you need to do it!!!
@@Discovery_Dad Funny enough I have and saw it as a downgrade to a RRS. Ugly rear end,doesn’t drive nearly as well no dynamic response pro or D350/P400 engines with worse residuals actually worked out more expensive.
I have a 2017 HSE luxury and like you went for the 2litre towing has always been ok but I do think the 3l is a better proposition. Mines in the garage for 2 months awaiting parts. Shame they did away with HSE luxury
HSE Luxury is effectively replaced with the Metropolitan Edition. Only thing missing is rear seat entertainment, however, you now get click & go base with a USB charger in the seat back so you can put a tablet there instead which is probably more flexible. Fridge now standard too, and the electronic architecture is the new version as used in Defender etc, so overall a big upgrade on previous cars including wireless Apple CarPlay.
Have the Discovery 2018 diesel. Leather Al over the place , incredible ride due to the additional weight of the engine. Land Rover Ft Myers gave me a loaner new Discovery and NOT impressed. Cheaply made …. No leather doors, center console etc… Would never consider trading
I've always liked the through behind LR/RR SUV's....but they still need to iron out whatever "bugs" that are preventing their SUV's from being "Reliable". Even in 2024. still lots of reports of =their SUV's being in the shop for months. That it's a= a gabmble...a roll of the dice....i've heard you can "get lucky" and get a reliable Discovery or Defender then the next 5 guys wil get "bad copies"....having to leave theirs in the shop for a month or so...Like what Mercedes went through maybe 10 years ago....I believe they've "cleaned up their act"....MB's used to be "tanks back in the 80's 90's...
I just can’t bring myself to like it it is the plastic inside and it’s what I think is the start of what I class as Land Rover making boring ugly motors. Much like BMW everything looks the same these days. Look at the difference between D2 and D3 for me the Defender should have been the new D5 and that off shot rear number plate it’s just awful. I’ve gone Land Cruiser 150 icon now and couldn’t be more happy as I haven’t had to spend a penny on it unlikely to go back to land rovers now. Come on LR make some good looking motors again
Please tell me what Marshall’s you go to be use Bedford Marshall’s are absolutely terrible. Our P400e Range Rover EV battery has failed and we have limited brakes (as there electric) no air con and various other things that fail due to a knackered EV battery. But Marshall’s tell me it’s fine for us to carry on driving for the next 5 weeks until they can change the EV battery. The last courtesy car we got offered was a Honda Jazz so we’ll done getting a Land Rover from a Land Rover dealership 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Same in any garage , Mercedes dealer near me has 12 Sprinters all waiting for same parts, Hyundai garages tell stories of blown engines .. All any garage sees are problems , no one takes in a good car . What about millions of good runners out there, now , how about every L R owner now texts in how good theirs are ... This page would be swamped

The later Discovery models are really underrated. Love my D300 HSE ❤

what size engine?
I have just purchased my 3rd discovery, a slight hiatus between the last one and this, because of the Covid disruption to supply chain.
2012 Discovery 4 HSE - Perfect car (Black on black on black)
2017 Discovery 5 HSE Luxury - all the bells and whisles (silicon silver)
2023 Discovery 5 Metropolitan - Back in the right car for me, (D300)
I have bought discovery D300 in 2022.09 new. Today 2023 november 3 i have done total 71600 km oil changes every 7500 km no problems so far
I have a 2017 SE V6. 100,000 kms. It is one of the most realiable cars I have had. Previously a multiple Subaru owner. About to order another. Best car for an active person I surf, ski and do adventure holiday like bush walking and exploring place like Fraser Island on sand.
The C pillar should be made straight as it gives more shoulder room to get in n out of 3rd row. Also the split tail gate
Really hope the Disco 6 is a step in the right direction, refine/ redesign the back, sort the electrics, make it look modern but a hint to the past discoveries just like the Range Rover has done, really hope they do not take any design from the Velar as I really do not like that car design at all.

Cant believe hes thinking of another one.
Addiction is a real thing
Am I the only one that likes the rear design?
I love it too! Don’t understand what the issue is with it to be honest
Have Another !!! I've Got a 3ltr 2018 Best car ever, no problems since having it.
Think you just had Friday afternoon car. Good luck 👍

Fingers crossed for some trouble free motoring with this one! Will they do you a deal taking your old one in part ex?
I agree, the D300 is a huge step forward.
Took over three months to get my 2018 HSE back after replacing the wiring loom. this was caused by water ingress through windscreen and sun roof. One problem after another after another. 😒😒😒.... Got rid and bought BMW.
Still has the crank snapping French V6?
hello, u decided on the exhaust for the defender yet?
Haven’t decided - alive or demand I think is what I’d go for?
@@thedoctorsgarage demand make the exhaust for alive
When are you doing a video about the series one ?
Is this model plagued with same mechanical problems that the old 2018 model had?
No idea - I’ve heard the 3L engine may be better?
@@thedoctorsgarage they are better😉
I've been looking to buy a range Rover but after hearing so many problems.
I prefer to go for a Volvo xc90
can u compare diesel vs petrol?
Superb Video. Have you not used the winged headrests? I’m stepping away from a RRS to a Metropolitan D300, no regrets as the new D5 is such an excellent vehicle. You know you need to do it!!!
Why would you go from a RRS to a Disco?
@@johnguidetti5839 If you'd driven one you would understand. The facelift model gets surprisingly close to a RR at far less money.
@@Discovery_Dad Funny enough I have and saw it as a downgrade to a RRS. Ugly rear end,doesn’t drive nearly as well no dynamic response pro or D350/P400 engines with worse residuals actually worked out more expensive.
I wonder would if be any more reliable than your own.
Cheers.
How to find land rover discovery 5 2017 Electronic Damper Control module Location in the car 😢
All I ever read about LR is problems problems problems and where’s the ground clearance?
I have a 2017 HSE luxury and like you went for the 2litre towing has always been ok but I do think the 3l is a better proposition. Mines in the garage for 2 months awaiting parts. Shame they did away with HSE luxury
Identical spec to mine- even to the 2 months waiting for parts 😂

Are you seriously considering this after all the grief you've gone through!?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣...................
Have the Discovery 2018 diesel. Leather Al over the place , incredible ride due to the additional weight of the engine.
Land Rover Ft Myers gave me a loaner new Discovery and NOT impressed. Cheaply made ….
No leather doors, center console etc…
Would never consider trading
I think the rear off centre number plate spoils the car, it just looks lazy.

Instead of showing hte car right away, we only see your face for the first 5 minutes. Pls fix
LOL, clearly you don't watch his videos, they're all like this.
But the back end is so so ugly.
Yes, I also don t understand
I just can’t bring myself to like it it is the plastic inside and it’s what I think is the start of what I class as Land Rover making boring ugly motors.

So unbelievably unreliable and expensive to fix with a consequently appalling trade in value and they sell in droves ?
Yes, because people are stupid!!
The only thing impressive about JLR is their KIDOLOGY, WOW. 😒😒😒...............
Still scrap
The rear is so ugly, can t comprehend
Back end is competing with new Santa FE - so ugly
Please tell me what Marshall’s you go to be use Bedford Marshall’s are absolutely terrible.

Silly choice getting a P400e when you have P400 6 cylinder and D300/D350
I have 9 jlr products in my yard at the moment disco velar and a sport im waiting on parts I cant get 2 engines ect these are horror stories
Same in any garage , Mercedes dealer near me has 12 Sprinters all waiting for same parts, Hyundai garages tell stories of blown engines .. All any garage sees are problems , no one takes in a good car .
What about millions of good runners out there, now , how about every L R owner now texts in how good theirs are ... This page would be swamped
This car is ugly . Not sure why anyone would buy it unless they are giving them away for free .
