Yep :D, no more burnt clutches. Pat
The latest Land Rover Owner International has a write up on the D5 and I'm impressed. I reckon they are going to sell shedloads of them.
This write up http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/news...-pictures-and/ says there'll be wheel options from 18 to 22" available. Please tell me that's true about the 18s!!!
LROI says 19s will be the smallest size.Quote:

That's interesting. So standard is 19s, but there's going to be an SVX with 18s and smaller brakes. Sounds good.Quote:

The great thing about the D4 as a 4wd was its functionality in its body shape - if you didn't need that you could go for a RRS like I did.
The new D5 shape is more RRS and less functional than the D4 for 4wd use.
For me when it comes time to change over my RRS, I will not have to look at a newer RRS but can look at the D5 as I do not the functionality of the D4 for my 4wding.
Looks nothing like a Ford Territory..
That's like saying if a woman has curves they all look like Miss Monroe!
And what functionality do you speak of?
Besides some new compound curves what is it about the D5 that makes its functionality so different?
In fact let's take a look..
Current Territory.

Then the outgoing D4 front end:

And the curves evolution of that front end in a D5:

I can see the family blood line D4 - D5..
Not a lot similar to the Territory..
