Zusatztank, 90 Liter – Discovery 5 (https://www.matzker.de/Technik-Zubehoer/fuer-Discovery/Expeditionsausruestung/Zusatztank-90-Liter-Discovery-5::5975.html)

Thought this might be useful for those looking at desert crossings 1600km Range.

Im guessing would be for either fuel?

What is left for the D5 now, i believe you can get everything you need to make a serious tourer?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190616/7a8dde94244ad3a55d4d89e41d4938d1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190616/06dacfdf81a760cff2e39a516dd9029c.jpg

Can you buy parts to change the ugliness? [emoji16][emoji16]Haha..Same was said about the D3 infact it was an abomination in looks and function, history repeating itself.

When people finally understood why the D3 looked the way it did, they came around.

Look into why the D5 looks the way it does [emoji6]

Heres a start.

– New Land Rover Discovery VP at FKFS wind tunnel (left) and CFD model... | Download Scientific Diagram (https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Figure-12-New-Land-Rover-Discovery-VP-at-FKFS-wind-tunnel-left-and-CFD-model-as-per_fig9_320083827)

Then look at 5 star safety ratings and what is involved to achieve.

They had to fit 7 adults in.

They made it one of the world best if not the best ALL terrain 4x4s.

Imo its better looking than the competitions offerings both from the front, rear and sides.

Front bar plus muddies and a RWC it will look great..look at new Nissan patrols how they transform with front and rear barwork and some tyres.

Im holding out for the new defender, but I still respect the D5 for what its unmatched versatility.
