Improving on the D4... designing the D5.

A DIP STICK FOR THE DAM ENGINE:mad::mad:

Not that I have one, but larger diameter tyres, less weight, more suspension travel, front diff lock, and particularly a much bigger fuel tank.

Haven't got one,but i recon a larger fuel tank would be top of the wish list of many owners,also a dip stick for the engine,bit less weight & option of 17" rims.......

Now can someone send this thread over to LR?

Do you think they would listen? Wilst they are selling plenty, I think not

I think suspension control is my wish.
Even if they upped the lowering speed to 60kmh.
Selectable grounding height would be great - lets face it most times when we need this one we risk doing damage to the undercarriage & are probably going very slowly.

Larger tyres & more conventional sizes would be good ie 32".

Made in Oz, and no.

For me,
I would ask for 2 things (although i would like lots of things for free...)

1. Larger Fuel Tank/s
2. Higher Profile Tyres (giving an overall bigger circumference). Eg: 255/75/18 or 255/70/19 & 255/65/20....



Just thinking out loud.....

Sounds interesting. I'll look forward to more detail.

Hi,

I just got D4, 2.7 so I got dip stick. I had the beast 2mths now and am well pleased.

Desired

1..

17" Wheel Option should be able to happen ex factory. The French market has the option for 17" rims but LR Australia absolutely, positively and stubbornly will not import base mosels with 17" rims.

2..

AT tyres should be available at delivery as an option. They are specified in the LR brochure but LR Australia refuse to deliver without cost AT tyres.

3..

Increased off road height spead - 60-80kms/hr seems reasonable

4..

Selectable Extended Offroad height constrained by speed and TC mode rather than using a jack or a bump.

5..

Larger fuel tank

As a matter of interest, has anyone passed on any of this valuable information to LR? Both this, and previous posts?
