I only ask as it is not showing on the top line of icon's You have a WiFi symbol where I would have expected to see the SIM card signal strength. Maybe turn that off?

Electric lower tailgate failed

Hi,

Re: Would your buy a Discovery 5?

But only one person has actually had the oil checked and it was 0.5% compared to the calculated figure by the car of 6%+ It is a problem on lots of different manufacturers cars because of the Euro6b limits set.

Plenty on the other Disc05 forum that explains the issue and probably not such a big problem after all.
