Discovery 5 winch
We are due to get our D5 on Friday, does anyone know where we can get a front winch kit yet?
Many thanks

The D5s at Les Comes were running around on Duratracs too. I wonder if it will become LR's "official" off road tyre. If so, that might mean we get back to decent speed ratings for them too.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Went to Eastnor LRE center recently and they had D5 with Duratracs on. They confirmed LR are doing a lot of research with Goodyear and off road tyres for LR products. They had at least one d5 with them fitted but there were loads of stickers saying this car is fitted with Duratracs and limited to from memory 100mph as that is the speed rating for the tyres and not currently high enough for the D5 or other LR products, but this may change, watch this space.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

I realise from you're Disco 3 & Disco 5 posts you're a site guru & tow
Eastnor - Did they do any towing training that you saw when you were there ?
Do you only tow a van ?
Sorry to badger you - towability is sort of critical to me
Thanks

We got it Friday evening at 17:30 I drove it home.......my first impression.. quicker than the D4 and more nimble, however the middle rear seat headrest really limits rear visibility.
Saturday.........
A trip back to the dealers as the boot won't open with key and the electric flap inside the boot isn't working at all😡
