My Disco after Newcastle - Farnborough - Newcastle - Alloa - Newcastle
(Just nudging 10000 miles in 5 months)
More salt on the car than on the road.... Its normally black

It is in Team Valley Land Rover today for some warranty work, hope they wash it because I am not looking forward to it!
Also note Stealth Disco Sticker - Reversed reflective stuck inside, very subtle in the daytime - comes alive at night! :evil:

May be a set of mud flaps are needed, it might cut the spray down a bit ?Only dead fish go with the Flow !

Posted a few months back and people thought I was mad... completely random operation.
Eventually I worked out that the lever needed a good shove backwards to break the contact... issue from new!
....it appears at Team Valley Land Rover that the only real issue on a Disco 4 is squeaky rear brakes, which I have had and the LR tech fixed it on the drive LR4 HSE 5.0 V8 Alaska White

Ahh ,I think I remember reading that !,nowt to worry about then,it will be gleaming later when you pick her up ,you do need some BIG flaps though ! Www.devonchilliman.co.uk
It was only in there overnight, and it had a wash, bit the weather obviously didn't allow a full exterior valet. It looks considerably better now.
...its good it only took an evening as I had the embarressment of having a Toyota Aygo 5 door loan car ! LR4 HSE 5.0 V8 Alaska White

Mine was just as bad (I guess black isn't the best colour at this time of year)...and I have oem flaps.....don't think they make as big a difference as people think.....It went in for some cosmetic repair work and came back on a low-loader on Saturday all shiny and sparkling......its now back to looking like a dried out salt lake....
Does every Council salt their roads with the zeal of Scottish Borders Council ?.....never got below 5c last night and the gritter was out "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...
