    Who has seen a D5 off-road?

    Saw my first D5 off-road on Moreton Island before Christmas. Turned up one morning at Yellowpatch, camper trailer in tow. Good to see some are using there’s D5s to their full potential.

    Yep, we had a D5 in our convoy for the GOE drive days I did last year. Straight from the shop, no mods, and performed just like you'd expect a Disco should - perfectly.
    If at first you don't succeed, that's one data point. - xkcd

    Until it blew a manifold, lunched a crank, dropped its alternator, cut through the coolant hose, or wore through its bushes? Yep, like a Disco
