Thread: Disappointed in the D5 / waiting for the Defender

Its about the capabilties of the d5 which it seems no one has driven and used offroad and if the new defender will be more capable or not.
Not about its not capable because no one wants to scratch it, or about old defenders and discos!

In my 11.5 years on this forum, i am verging on closing the door behind me for good, every single thread ends up in some kind of whinging whining ****ing contest that strays from topic. Its become like the mens shed!
Would be nice to see the forum make a turn around, but i just can't see that happening, no wonder why so many good users have and are leaving.
Rant over!

So much passion about vehicles people don't even own, wish they owned, do own, or don't even exist yet! It's great! Vive Le difference! One things for sure...we all love Landys!

Stick around Vern... it's all good. I think in the past people love the ready ability to modify and work on their own vehicles and that has become more difficult with the newer LR products but it's a great brand and great forum.

Cheers

It is, and why can't these be worked on and modified too? Its a bit trickier, but can be done.
I remember when the v6 commodore came out and everyone balked at how hard the engine is going to be to work in, ie the fan belt! Turns out its easier than doing an old red motor!

Things generally progress forward, not backwards!

I am just going to leave this here.... and sneak out quietly... (I know - its not a disco 5.... but sometimes flung mud sticks)

Disco Sport owner here. The situation described in that article is 100% due to using inappropriate tyres for the conditions. There’s zero that Terrain Response or 3 locked diffs can do if there’s no friction between the tyres and the ground.

Did the Macan that was zipping around have mud terrains?
