Thread: Show us your Discovery 5

Hi graeme,

Apologies for late reply. The Current Tyres i have are on 22" Rims. I will have to get exact size tomorrow as I have lent my car out to a work colleague as her car got heavily scratched and I'm helping her out.

I'm always on the look-out for new 20" options for my L322.

I've ordered my custom build my 18 HSE. I could not see where main Battery is. Port only seen for jump start purposes suspect hidden not in engine bay. Web search no help. Plan to tow & I will need to fit 2nd battery

I think the battery is in the boot area on the right. I can't check to be sure as mine is on order as well.

Hi Guys,

You are correct battery is on the right hand side. Picture attached.

Is there a reason they are putting the battery inside nowadays?
there is so much room in the engine bay compared to the D4.
( the v8 supercharged jobbie will fit nicely ! )

has anyone fitted a duel battery system in yet? Where are u putting the second battery ?

Balance and life. Battery doesn’t get as hot in the cabin! And in cold climate is less likely to fail.

In that pic I have a cardboard box made into the shape of a battery (thank you tim). This is where I am planning on putting it. I am building draws very slowly. I normally would start a thread to get peoples input but i've been bitten before. So I will post after I finish them. Having lots of fails and occasionally a few wins.

I have investigated and spoken to a few people in relation to putting a battery under the bonnet. There is room however some metal pipes would need to be relocated and I didn't want to go down that path. Given the battery is in the back its very easy to place a dual battery in roughly the same area.
