Re: Over speed road safety warning missing on discovery 5

In the interests of road safety I would like the over speed warning on my Discovery 5 to be audible as unless you are actually watching the speedo display you wouldn’t notice the speed creeping up . I’ve just been done for doing 32 mph on a 30 mph road which is slightly downhill and my cruise was s...

Re: INFOTAINMENT / DASHBOARD CRASH

Re: Build dates

Had notification yesterday that my Disco 5 hse will be built 10th March. Hopefully for 1st April delivery at Chester. Can't wait. I put a £1000 deposit on a manufacturing slot fifteen months ago so it feels like I've been waiting for ages. Having had a good look at the demo model which had a day at ...
