tarnished wheels

Disco 5 Hse Lux 3 litre. First reg. Oct 17 - 17,000 miles - garaged at night

All wheels are now tarnished to a greater or lesser degree - have not checked spare.

They will all need replacing under warranty - anyone had similar experience?

Re: Spare wheel message

Thanks for the two posts. I checked the spare and it was 30 psi. Increased psi and message has gone.
Glad to know the sensor works!

Re: Just about to buy!!

I have the model you're thinking of buying and I doubt it will be upgradeable.

Spare wheel message

Hi

Have started getting, on start up, a brief message to check the tyre pressure in the spare wheel. It goes out after less than a minute so not done anything yet as I imagine it would be awkward to do.

Anyone have a similar problem ?

Kind regards

Discovery 5 Journey log -

Hi all I recently received an £85 Penalty Notice from a retail car park for over-staying the three hour limit. I appealed enclosing copies of the Journey record for the period in question showing I was elsewhere and the appeal succeeded - never thought I would use it for that ! It seems everything h...

Re: Range Rover Sport vs Disco 5

Agree with Magpie. Had a Discovery Sport for three years and 4 months ago changed for a 9 month old Disco 5 Hse Luxury. Brilliant car. Just beware that if you like your text messages read out only the lower priced models will do that. I have had to install an ap on my phone for that to occur and it ...

Re: Discovery 5 text messaging

Further to my post of June 18 I have used ReadText 2me on android rarely but it does work. The trick is after it has asked a question such as do you want me to read out the text or about a reply you must await the "ping" before speaking a reply.

Re: Sports mode

Just check that the larger wheels will fit the spare wheel holder.

JLR might not tell you !

Re: Tailgate problem

Not had this problem but the button in the boot that operates the inner tailgate has fallen inside the switchgear panelling- will add to list of warranty items !

TPMS and spare wheel

Hi I have a 3L Hse Luxury with TPMS. Am I correct in assuming the spare wheel, although monitored, will only generate a warning if there is a loss of pressure. The TPMS display only shows the four wheels and their respective pressures; nothing for the spare. And it is there I have just checked ! Gwyn
