Thread: D4 Pro's & Cons

I gotta say, this Discovery is so Darn comfortable, getting stuck in traffic jams is not as bad as what it was in the Defender.

I am so so so happy that the LC 200 was a 3 month wait, otherwise I could have been driving that right now.

The Hotel I'm staying at in Brissy has a low clearance carpark, no problem just lower the suspension then flick the Llams to go even lower, problem solved secure off street parking for the night. the LC 200 would have had to camp out if that had of been the choice of vehicle.

It's so nice to be in a vehicle and not ponder for more power, more comfort, more capabilities, yeah it's got the few "Cons" that we all agree on but it just feels right driving it. Oh What A Feeling, Land Rover

Yep, its a drivers vehicle.
Found myself in the usual carpark on the way home tonight,, soooooo relaxing. Even had energy to do some of the lawn this evening. No aching knee, which is "the norm" after arriving home generally in the Deefer after work.

I forgot to get back to you regarding this.

The answer is Yes it reads zero when the cruise runs away.

Thanks for that

I'll have to second Babs on this. The recirculation feature is the worst feature in an otherwise brilliant car. Give us the choice to have it fixed to the setting we want permanently. I do a lot of city driving (Sydney) and can't stand the diesel fumes and particles that come in from other cars. I also find that after having the car off for a while, there's a buildup of the car's own fumes that goes in your face as soon as you start the car. Different story when I'm driving in the country - 95% fresh air for me.

Upgrade to the carbon cabin air filter or change your old one? Consensus seems to be that neither dust or fumes can get past it even on non-recirc
