Doors Not Closing First Time
All,
Picked up my first discovery, a new D4 on Saturday. The door seem to require a significant slam to get them to close properly first time. If I just push the door normally they catch the closure by are slighty open.
I called the delearship to ask whether this was right that they said all are the same. I am not convinced.
Can any D4 owners please comment.

Yes they need a fair push, think the door has a number of seals to overcome which help keep the car water tight when wading. In fact car is so water tight they tend to float MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

It is down to the door seals. You get use to it.
One downside is I tend to slam my Mini's door now...
If you want an easier door to close you should have brought a leaky LC 200 Discovery 4 SE Long range fuel tank Kaymar Rear Bar.
