    Disco 4 (LR4) Rear Mounted Spare Tyres

    Dear All, Sorry, not having much luck with the search function, but any thoughts regarding the mounting of rear tyre carriers on the Disco 3/4? I'm in the process of fitting five Compomotive PD1881s, an 18" wheel, with BF Goodrich KO2 AT tyres. This makes for a larger wheel and tyre fitment...

    Disco 4 (LR4) Parking long term, non level ground

    OK so a bit of a non-issue hopefully, but I have to regularly work away from home for a month at a time and would like some input. Our Discovery 4 lives in a garage and due space constraints straddles a concrete ramp between the two sections of the garage. This leads to the vehicle sitting...

    Disco 4 (LR4) and its (my!) limitations

    Wheel and Tyre Upgrade

    Hi Folks, Looking to move from standard 19" wheels with road tyres to an 18" rim and All Terrain tyre set up. Was considering the Compomotive PD1881 wheel shod with BF Goodrich All Terrain tyres. Am hoping to improve off road traction. Appreciate there may be some more road noise and not...

    Discovery 4 slow gear engagement

    Occasionally when moving the gear selector from Neutral to Drive, or Reverse, it seems as though the transmission has 2-3 of seconds thinking about it, before engaging the relevant gear. Any thoughts...? 2010 LR4 TDV6

    Mid life crisis .... again

    Hi All, After off-roading through parts of the Middle East several years ago, I now find myself sharing life in the French countryside with my wife, and a 2010 Discovery LR4. We hope to have lots of adventures off road in this beautiful part of the world..... Best wishes to All.
