Totally agree. The car has such potential and is let down by the poor build quality and types of materials used-especially the plastics inside and out. You'd have thought that the rigorous testing in Utah,etc. would have highlighted these issues? Perhaps LR need to look at how German manufacturers t...

As I said before there must be a serious issue with the plastics they are using on these cars. The marks on all the Discovery 5s I've seen without the dynamic pack and including the 2 courtesy cars I've had, are totally unacceptable. The interior and exterior plastics are marked and mark so easily a...

Surely I'm not the only one out there experiencing problems with the grey matte trim on NON dynamic design pack cars?! Im still in a courtesy disco 5-our 2nd one and the trim I already badly marked afer only a few mikes. Front and rear bumper trim, wheel arch trims, etc. Also noticed problems inside...

Need to come to a compromise with my LR desker.

The dealer has offered to build a new car with dynamic pack so avoiding the matte trim which is causing problems. Only thing is it's not a first edition model so doesn't have as much spec as 'mine' and if I spec the replacement car it costs more which dealer isn't happy about! Not my problem!!! Also...

Silicon silver is gorgeous!

Thanks for that-the LR configurator must be wrong! Are you otherwise pleased? Didn't expect so many issues with a brand new vehicle!!!!

I've written on here previously but in the wrong section so now need some feedback regarding build quality please. Having taken delivery of a first edition in silicon silver(lovely colour) we noticed marks on headlining , bumper trim and surrounds and also an issue with the brake calipers. The car w...
