Our Discovery 4
Thought I'd post up a pic of the wife's new motor, firstly with the original type 511 wheels (soon to be for sale):
With compomotives (with cooper AT3s):
I've since removed the roof bars and bought a dog guard + luggage separator.
Its pretty much the exact spec I was looking for with HSE plus Meridian Surround, Active Rear Locking Diff and a few off-road accessories (including the extra set of wheels!). Would have liked the heated steering wheel though.
Its on around 58k miles so will wait a year or so before the transmission oil flush. Considering a remap - for better fuel economy and to get rid of the flat spot whilst pulling away. Otherwise it feels pretty good.
I fancy a Mitch hitch or similar - not sure about the standard tow bar fitting. Is anything like this available in the UK?
I notice that the heater isn't really warm unless on Hi. Saw a thread on this, but didn't see a resolution or fix. Anyone solved this?

I have one on my D4, although a friend brought it over from South Africa for me for a lot less than they are charging.
Also as it’s not type approved for Uk, it is only for recovery purposes off road.Discovery commercial tdv6 auto 2013

Discovery commercial sdv6 auto 2014 gone and not really missed.
Range Rover Tdv8 gone
Freelander 2 I6 very sadly gone

Interesting hitch, pretty high for a tow bar - maybe a nato style hitch? as you say a recovery point only but then again I’d expect the std rear eye would be up to this...
I like the Mitch hitch as it’s a got a std 2” x 2” fitting - handy for bike carriers and all sorts of other fittings..
Pity neither are type approved in eu!
