Disco 5 worst car possible.... I have had a engine blow up on my 3l D5. .... multiple break downs, window leak total nightmare of a car. This is in 9 months of ownership

Not a car! A truck. My 1959 series 2 was happiest once it left the pavement! My 2004 ROKON TRAILBREAKER 2 wheel drive was a street legal bike. It was doable on the road but happiest off the pavement as well.

Dont know how this is even a fair comparison you are comparing a commercial vehicle with a 2l deisel engine against a non comercial car with a 3l v6 petrol engine The raptor has a much lower towing capacity with 100 hp more...... a very bias review

I'm still waiting for something i can replace my Freelander 2 with. Defender 110 is just too big for UK parking spaces and the disco no better. Looking likely, it's going to have to be a disco sport, but the looks aren't boxy enough for me really!

Why anyone purchases a truck with a twin turbo petrol engine and complains about economy? You want economy, purchase a diesel, sure, it's not that exciting and crazy fast, but it's definitely not slow and it's economical, and honestly, will do just about everything the petrol version will do except a fast 0-60 time split. If your off-road climbing hills and going through mud, you don't need horsepower, you need torque. Honestly, how many people are doing desert off-road speed racing? Not many in a factory spec truck. The petrol version is an overpriced toy that will drain your bank account in fuel and maintenance, the diesel version is an honest do everything truck with advanced off-road capabilities.

Sad to think how far from the design DNA of the original, 3 & 4 discovery, JLR have moved, such an iconic vehicle, I loved my 2014 D4 HSE, I have recently changed to the D5, I like it, but I don't love it as much as I did the D4 & I cannot say exactly why...

Doctor I have rust in my eye what do I do? Wear bloody safety glasses dumbass!

Bought mine here in the US in 2018. They no longer sell here, but you see them listed on Facebook Marketplace with no miles, by older guys who bought them during Covid and didn’t ride them. First thing I did was to add rear saddlebag guards so you can lose the saddlebags when you don’t use them. It cuts down on the weight when doing city driving and one less worry someone will break into if you park it. You mentioned the sportster, and I had one to commute to work. Only needed to get up to maybe be 50mph for morning rush hour and maybe 25 during evening rush. However the sportster is a death trap on the interstate. It has no fuel gage for a novice rider who easily can run out of fuel and it shakes so badly you can’t see anything in the rear view mirrors. That is why I bought the SportGlide. Stripped and running with 1/2 full tank you are at 650 lb and only about 125 lbs heavier then a sportster, but the SportGlide is both a city and a highway bike and great for smaller riders and older riders who want to get away from the monster touring bikes.

That choke looks like its adjusted wrong, it appears to be in the full choke position. I think its a great looking engine.

unless your going get all that rust off lanaguard complete waste time , lanogaurd is only good for maintaining NEW , once its rusty i just keep applying a rust converter BUT do spray oil into sills and stuff, the thing is once you start using oils like lanoguard your stuck with it really unless your going try steam it all off if you want to rust convert and paint again. get a round wire brush on a cordless drill or frap disk works just az good on a multitool or 4inch angel grinder to get all that rust off then a GOOD quility rust converter , once a year give it a good clean underneath and reapply rust converter .

I think the RR is missing some Luxury aspects for that price. Heated and Cooled seats, Sun or Panoramic Roof when you're off-roading is nice, the 360 cams could have been much better, a heads-up display. Just a few extras to make it really feel like a 2023 truck. Overall still worth it. I love my ranger raptor so much!

hello quick question what did you wire the drl lights too?

Thank you always for the video. The front side still vaguely reminds me of Freelander 2 (which i wish they never discontinued). Personally, not a major fan of the back. Do we know if this is exactly how they will look?

Oh dear, I love Land Rover but all discoverys after the D3 is shocking

I'm always amazed how many people slag off Land Rover build quality and engine reliability. I've had my Discovery Sport for 8 years now, and the only thing I've had to change was the battery! - Regarding build quality, there isn't even the slightest squeak or rattle anywhere in the car and I drive it on and off road. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Point taken

I love the design and the look of the discovery but I can’t afford to purchase used one with these kind of issues .

The Discovery died after the 4, the new Defender looks more like a Disco in my humble opinion. {edit: made comment before watching, good to hear same] The design will work for mums ferrying kids and their mates from ballet to football etc

I have a disco 5 Lux 3.0d and it’s been faultless with my 5 years of ownership. Tbh i need to replace it but just don’t want to. Facelift D5 lost rear TVs which kids love so don’t want that. Defender very meh and that D6 looks awful. I struggling where to go after my D5 currently so I’ve extended the warranty again just in case and will hang onto it I think. D5 in lux & dynamic pack spec with right wheels and colours and options imo is hard to beat for the price.

Problem with all of these products is that they are by design under sealers. Unless you first apply a rust converter chemical, you are simply sealing over the existing rust. Rust converters produce a chemical reaction that reacts with the rust to produce a black inert substance that can then be over painted. The black coating will prevent air oxidising the surface of the metal further preventing new corrosion. Then and only then should you use a paint or coating product of your choice. Anything else is a essentially waste of money.

just sad they have less weight in the back compaired to thw wildtrack

I'm looking forward to see that car finished that colour suits the vehicle really well

Had two discovery 4…. Great cars. Bought a disco 5…. Had it 18 months and the engine is knocked ( cylinders 2 and 4 ). Engine replacement covered by warranty but I said I don’t want it back. Swapped out for different car. Dico 5 nowhere near as good as a 5.

Will need to source reliable engines from someone other than JLR/Tata. Ingenium’s are junk.

I wonder how many Discovery 4's were sold (obviously second hand) in the same period? I suppose the figures could be obtained from the DVLA with FOI app.......

A version of the new Defender, should of been the Disco 5. And the Defender should of remained largely the same with modern tech, materials and engines. I'm convinced the sales of both would of been phenomenal!

I wouldn’t spend 80k on any car to be honest, even if I could afford it

£80k for a car that will be unreliable and useless if made fully electric, no thanks.

Looks way better than the Disco 5… barf. Overall it’s a fine vehicle, don’t get me wrong. But they’re just to damn ugly

I 've always liked the discovery, please keep me updated on the developments , but I think JlR will make sure that it will be far better than the Discovery 5. That design extremely beautiful.

Don't know how accurate that picture of the Disco6 will prove to be. But it looks to me to be a bit of an acquired taste. They really have to get this right though, in terms of security and reliability especially. I loved my Disco4. Outdated now of course but it had the looks and when all things were working it was brilliant. I've sort of gone off them since though. It appears I'm not alone. As for price, like most JLR products, they are premium and command a premium price. But they must realise their volume sales come from the Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque. So this new Disco had better be good to do JLR any good.

I have a mate who bought a 5 and at about 90k km the oil leaks started and quickly got worse. He was putting up with all of the things that intermittently works (who really needs reverse camera all of the time 😜). The oil leaks were serious lots of seals not just one or 2 and thousands of $ later he has a car he just doesn’t trust.

JLR killed off Discovery sales all by themselves, I was invited to the Discovery 5 launch event, walked init the showroom, walked round the car opened the boot and walked out of the showroom. You needed a micrometer to measure how far away from the perfect vehicle Discovery 4 was, and over night they changed that to a yardstick with Discovery 5, and see no improvement with the 6, although still probably still artist's impression, sadly now left JLR ownership after 30+ years man and boy had everything from Freelander to Range Rover, not a patch on the company or cars they used to be, dont get me wrong fantastic vehicles when they work right but with the exception of Defender they are just over priced unreliable clones of eachother

I absolutely LOVE my Discovery 5 (despite any repair issues) and really want the 6 to be a great piece of styling because I have waited years for a redesign! For me nothing beats the Discovery for boot and cabin space and it still feels luxurious inside. Easy to drive and perfect for families and five foot two drivers like me - I can take it to a 5 star hotel or park it in a football field - it can do it all. I have test driven the Velar which was disappointingly dull, the Defender is too utilitarian and farm vehicle like inside and the new Range Rover Sport is well…….expensive and a little too refined externally to give it any oooo factor. Hopefully the new Discovery 6 packs a stylistic punch that blends luxury with rugged which I can’t resist!

Interesting--but still think the Defender will destroy it in sales figs'.

Driving Disco 3 and 4 for 15 years now. The five never gave me that "Family adventure" feeling really. The New Defender is not a big as the Disco. Look at the Defender 130 and its floor configurations... absolutely useless! I'm not a EV believer... Don't see myself driving 9.000 km with a caravan to the tip of Norway and back having to charge 45 times. You referred to the i-Pace as their experience. I hope it will do much... MUCH better than that because that charging system is like from the eighties! I do hope the Disco6 will be more a Discovery. Just begin with a 100% floor, a propper split tailgate and maybe just for the sake of it... the handles next to the headrests.

80/90k for Disco 6 is too high. With the new(ISH) defender the Disco has no real place in the lineup anymore.

The illustration of the Disco 6 looks like a car that Deadpool would drive.

I do agree with the discovery 5 being so unreliable that rack looks so cool I bet them tires cost a lot of money are you worried about your bike getting stolen from the rack of your truck always recommend getting a lockable adapter for the bike you need a new number plate that said ford raptor that would look very smart If I get a truck like that I will do a apple carplay delete because I hate apple devices I got a Samsung galaxy s24 ultra which is a very good phone the camera very good

Hopefully they' not having an offside number plate just like the Discovery 5 7seter the Discovery sport doesn't have the offside number plate

I would avoid buying a Discovery 5 I don't want the same things happen just like your discovery did

I wasn’t interested in buying one before I realised there was a new discovery coming out. If those renderings are correct or even similar to the real thing, then I am definitely not interested. It’s bloody awful. Another generic SUV designed for Sainsbury’s car park kudos.

Just hope the reliability & build quality greatly improves

Yuk looks like a big freelander to me I hope that’s not the finished product It definitely needs needs the stepped roof which is a key signature of the Disco

JLR is aiming for the skies with their pricing. Is it because of the inflation as they say? Nah, it's the greediness of the company - the quality of the vehicles is more *shitty than before.

I still love the Discovery 4 and I love the room in the back. The Defender is smaller in the back (about 20cm shortter I think) and the new Disco6 looks like the roof droops to the rear rather than going up like the Disco4 - so it looks like the practical internal volume will be less, unfortunately. It looks like I will have to keep looking after my Disco4 and try and keep it going forever as I have not found anything better and the Disco6 does not look like it's better than the 4.

As usual JLR compromise different models and take sales away from one type to another. As you say, Discovery loses sales to Defender, is that how you really want to promote a range of vehicles. Defender should have been a knocked down rugged no frills machine but that is now water under the bridge. Probably better if JLR had let Ineos continue making it, at least current "classic Defender" owners would have a guaranteed source of spares.

Theres no point in even looking at it unless landrover sort out there shocking engines a 100k for is it going to blow up today just is not good enough

I have owned five land rovers and I will not buy another. 3.0 ltr engines suffer with broken crankshaft, 2.0 ltr engines timing chains and DPF issues. I tried to book my car in with my local Landrover Dealer to sort out my DPF issues and limp mode, waiting list 6 weeks to book the car in for repair. Speak to dealers they aren’t aware of these engine issues. I don’t appreciate being lied to. Sorry no more Landrovers for me.
