Discovery 5 AT tyres

Hi All, Happy new year! I have a question regarding the best AT Tyres for the discovery 5. I have a HSE lux on 21" wheels. Having done some 'lights field/snow driving, it is clear the stock Pirelli Verde All seasons just aren't up to the job. I have looked at the General Grabber AT3 which seem ...

Re: Oil Dilution Issue

That's a very interesting read! Quite shocking that Land Rover/ Jaguar actually have to issue that and 'tailor' sales to driving styles. I've punted for the MY18 3L Discovery HSE Lux in the end.

Re: Oil Dilution Issue

I have decided against the vehicle.

Re: Oil Dilution Issue

It's version 2.5 apparently.
It's Doncaster Land Rover in wolverhampton.

Re: Oil Dilution Issue

Response from the dealer... apparently N222 is not applicable to this vehicle? It's a MY17, is there no software update for 2017 vehicles?

Re: Oil Dilution Issue

Hmm seems to be no consistency which is the problem. Some people report the software is the saviour and some people say it's not touched it... it's such a shame as otherwise I cannot wait to own the D5! Decisions...

Re: Oil Dilution Issue

Ye, I have asked the question today so I will see what they come back with. I have also asked them to confirm that the software update has been applied to the vehicle. I will see what they say...

Do you know if the software update has been applied on yours CraigP? In which case it hasn't worked?
