HSE Luxury,..Is that the top model?, and looks like you'll have some grunt, I think the V6 turbo diesel is the top power plant is it not,..what power & torque will you have?
The time will fly, the other thing you can do when the car is ready to ship and you have a VIN No is track the voyage of your new car as it comes to Aussie!
Congratulations, Pickles.

Hi Roverland I know re 2018 and I really like the Discovery SVX which is due out supposedly in 2018. However Its like a carrot on a stick just never get there.

Hey Pickles
Below is the quoted power. I have been talking to Roo Systems and might be looking at the ECU mapping and 3" exhaust. However I have all these great plans but first and foremost is to get the car.

As I type I am a bees nut from ordering Qubelok from Capral to start working on a Drawer system. Will Probably take me a few goes and have plenty of time to make mistakes. Yes I know I need the measurements but that wont stop me ordering it and helping a friend with his first. :)





Power: 190kW/258PS
Torque: 600 Nm

Hi Sean, Mark,


Would you believe I have until 24 April to stress over the build. I have rung dealer this morning to discuss the cost of the dynamic pack. I really like the dynamic interior but not so much the exterior. So am torn.

The Only problems I'm reading about atm is the tailgate gesture.. People looking like retards standing on hot coals to open the boot. Also 1 person has taken it back to dealer re it just wouldn't open. Also I am hearing the back seats (middle row) are a few inches smaller than the Disco 4. Not that that will bother me.

Yes I do Bytemark, I do. You are quite welcome to. They are calling it the Digital Discovery so I hope its all what its cracked up to be.

Are the 21" and 22" wheels mandatory with the Dynamic Pack? That would rule it out for me...

Hi Guthrie I believe so. My thoughts are they are just tyres and rims. I can change them. I can't change the interior as easily.

My Disco Sport is a bit like that. It works most of the time but not all and sometimes you have to kick your foot a few times for it to work. My friend's RRS works 100% of the time, however. The good thing is that it is just as easy to push the button and let it go up or down by itself. That is the more natural thing to do and it works every time!

Congrats. I can't wait to hear all about it. I have spent too much money on my D4 V8 to upgrade any time soon.

Once I got my VIN # I was able to track my North American build at Global Shipping & Logistics Solutions | Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (http://www.2wglobal.com/), track & trace, and enter the VIN# in the Cargo ID. I've tracked many that are on dealer lots trying to get a timeframe for when mine will arrive.

Congrats Lee, did you manage to get any discounts or freebies when you ordered? I've been told no discounts at all. Can you also share your experience with your dealer, if good I might need to get a name off you.
