Video reviews

be interesting to know what the black "protection" plates if that is the right word were made of, it looked like some basic composite
material, nothing substantial .. whereas the engine seems to get a piece of steel..

I have asked him so I will see what he says.

It might just be a literal restricted/reduced power output until X number of miles are up to let the CWP's, engine, etc run in a bit.

Chev do that with the Corvette, and I'm sure other manufacturers do it these days, too.

I hope so Rick. I was a little dismayed to see it. Having said that the owner has posted that there is no answer yet as to why the warning showed up. Its possible that the dealer might not know about a run in or low k warning but you would think that would be the first think LR told the dealers about. Anyway keen to see what the dealer/LR tell this bloke going forward.

Cheers

My first thought was the same as yours and I was doing this too [emoji849]

But then I remembered that a few manufacturers are limiting the torque output for a little while so owners don't overdo things during that initial phase

Then why not say that in the message? We aren’t limited to 640kb of memory here, just say ‘settle down driver, still running in here’.

Comparison with D4.

Came here to post this exact vid. I'm not at all sure how helpful the guy is, but at 4:25 he asks the exact question I've been asking from the start. Is this the proper next Disco? Is the 5 a very capable SUV and the Defender the next great tourer?

I really want to see one in the metal.

If you took the letters off the bonnet and told me the one on the left was a D4 I wouldn't argue...

Except the 4 has a much larger cargo area with a tailgate and lift gate. That makes it much more useful.

Yes. Been mentioned before. RRs still do. But the old Defender didn't. Maybe that is LRs rationale. Who can tell?
