Hello Gents,
I've just placed an order for a disco5 SD4 HSE, but like everything else in Norway everything is an option (base price is 90 000 GBP here, so bear that in mind).

I have not opted for the sunroof, can anyone without a sunroof on their disco5 tell me if road noise is an issue? i was warned by the dealer than some ranger rover sports without the sunroof had road noise issues and hence he suggested to go for it to make sure..

as in excessive road noise, especially from the resonance from going through tunnels (we have a lot of them here).

apparently the aluminium roof is not as optimal as the sunroof in terms of its sound insulating properties..

Mines a all metal roof can't say I've noticed any increased noise but then I've not been through a tunnel or likely to go through one of any significance. So sorry can't help you.

I complained to my dealer about noise issues with the RRS(2014) without the sunroof that I currently have. It is as mentioned only really noticable when passing through tunnels, which is Glasgow is a total of 1!

Have ordered the D5 with a sunroof, so glad to hear that it may solve this issue,

As previously stated my roof all metal and noticed whilst washing how thin it is. It really flexes when you press it.

Thanks guys, I'll opt in for the sunroof as a precaution then.
