Re: Would your buy a Discovery 5?

Definitely not. I placed an order for one last October, delivery due March 1st this year. Three weeks before delivery was due, I cancelled the order, having heard about all the problems, particularly the oil dilution. I did not need to be taking the vehicle back every few weeks for yet another probl...

Re: Should I cancel my D5 3L diesel HSE order and place order for petrol version instead?

Having cancelled my D5 diesel at the end of January, I must say the dealer in Plymouth, Roger Young, fully understood the reasons why and refunded my deposit (even though the vehicle was due for delivery some 3 weeks later), without any fuss. I ordered an Audi Q7 272 hp S-line and took delivery 8 we...

Re: Should I cancel my D5 3L diesel HSE order and place order for petrol version instead?

I have now cancelled my order-not even considering a petrol one. Have totally lost confidence in Land Rover's ability to sort out the growing list of problems, especially the engine oil dilution and early service warnings-I think Land Rover are somewhat overwhelmed by the issues.

Re: Should I cancel my D5 3L diesel HSE order and place order for petrol version instead?

I went to my dealer yesterday and had a long chat with the workshop controller and he told me that all MY18 D5's have new software to stop the early service indicator warning and resolve the engine oil dilution problem. Of course it is too early to know if these changes will solve the problems. He a...

Re: Should I cancel my D5 3L diesel HSE order and place order for petrol version instead?

From what I have read elsewhere, the interim oil and filter changes are NOT covered by the service plan and I have been told it could cost £200 per oil change and others have been told the oil and filter change should be done every 4 months-starts to become a very expensive vehicle to service, even ...

Should I cancel my D5 3L diesel HSE order and place order for petrol version instead?

Have on order a D5 3.0 diesel HSE, due for delivery to me on March 1st. Somewhat horrified to see the long list of folks reporting problems relating to the fuel diluting the engine oil issue and subsequent early service indicator warnings. As I understand it, this problem only relates to the Diesel ...
