I reckon the D3 is pretty close to perfection when you bear in mind what it is...... the D4 has to be better....... goes back to my original point..... we judge the current discos harshly (especially if coming from another brand) because we expect so much from them........ In reality they are miles ahead of any of the competition....... so much more for the money.......

Jamo,
I see you are moving up again, Subbie to D3 to Cayenne. Where to after the Cayenne?
DT

Hello DT! I haven't got a long term plan. Maybe to another Cayenne or back to a D4(5?). Possibly an RR (I considered one this time) but IIRC there's a plan to move them upscale into Bentley territory.

I loved the D3 and will see how I go with the Porsche. From now there's only RR or Cayenne unless something new enters the mix.

Before the Suby there was the XY Falcon.

I drove a SE in sand mode on the highway a few months ago
and it was quicker than mine when it was remapped.

I assume we are talking about the 3.0 TTDV6 model.

D3 2.7 TDV6

Easy solution, drive a D1 or 2 for a week, then get into the D4. You wont complain. Or better still, we can swap my D2 for your 4!!

I would stick with the 2.7 and get it mapped or chipped. I've heard of many cases of the new 3.0 going into limp mode or reduced engine performance mode repeatedly. On D4s, RRS and the Jag XF. I wish LR made the new petrol V8 cheaper.

Hopefully they find the reason and bring out a fix.
