Land Rover Discovery D5 MY23.5 Owners Review
After almost 6 years of owning my first Discovery I recently replaced it will a new one as I liked my first D5 so much. I go through my impressions of the remarkable difference in driving for a car that looks the same.

Ruber chest of the rip curl is the worse desging mistake I ever seen. It gets destroyed after 10 sessions
Thanks for sharing your experience. Many RUclips channels say that D5 is unreliable car. I noticed that most of them are not the owners of D5. But you own D5. I hope I can own one someday.
You are a shredder at 66. Keep surfing 🤙🏾
Thanks mate. I am now almost 71 now and my current quiver is a Revo 5'10, FRK 6'1" and a Tolhurst HI MID 6 @ 7 foot. I still surf daily and my good days are still the same but with aging you just have less good days. I still froth like a grom
@@leighwilson1524 I will try to be like you and surf into my 70’s. Amazing 🤩
Wish you all the best with your new car. I gave up with my Disco 3y ago, same model as yours before. Had too many issues.
Sorry to hear about your Disco. I know I have been lucky. I would elsewhere if I had troubles but they are just so good to drive. Thanks for watch my vid
Surprising, usually the Germans
slo mo sux
Rip Curl suits develop pinholes way too fast, literally within a month or two and some right out of the factory. Problem is they try to tape the seams over the fuzzy liner, and the glue doesn't bond well, the liner is too fuzzy/thick. Xcel will last 2 seasons or more and only then slowly develop pinholes but it is not nearly as stretchy. If it fits you well, it is stretchy enough. The xcel is also pretty thick for a 4/3 because they use thick jersey liners. I have had 5/3s that didn't feel as thick so it fits a weird niche.
That’s great footage .. I am planning to be there in October , I know it is not tue best time but hope to find good waves as well , being perfect and shoulder level would be just fine
I hope you have a great time. Do the early surf at Riptides before the crowd and surf the uncrowded right hander off the resort later in the day
I recently had a very unpleasant episode with my Disco 5. The steering rack failed whilst cornering causing me to have an RTA. I claimed on my insurance for body and mechanical repair. 14 weeks in to repair and I am still awaiting return. Very long parts wait from LR (steering rack, suspension arms and subframe). Can anyone advise if I have a legitimate claim against LR as I have excess to pay on my insurance claim and the car is now devalued as it has been in an accident. I understand that this fault has been recognised with other LR models that have been recalled but not the Discovery 5.
Looking forward to next episode
Thanks Drew, It is great to have viewers from England🙃🙃

Thanks for you comment. The video is an itinerary ideas style, also showing where we stayed and what we did. My videos are done with no financial benefit and they are just a hobby. Thank you taking your time to watch them and sharing our experience.
Looks great. I’m going back to Tassie to see these places. Nice video Leigh
thanks, great review
Great video and scenery, thanks.
Thanks Peter, I really enjoyed Tasmania
Thank you Peter. I hope you got some ideas for a trip to Tassie
Have just come across your channel as I’m considering the Discovery. It’s such a great place for every day info rather than the standard car review vids. Hoping you’re still planning to provide updates ✌🏼
Thanks for your interest in my videos. I have just finished a road trip of Tasmania which I will be editing that trip soon. But my big news, hopefully my new Discovery will arrive in June and I will have lots of videos coming up about it. Now I have to start thinking about selling my current Discovery. :(
In light of the evolution of surfing the much loved Boneyard at Minnamurra and Shallows at Shellharbour were two highly over rated breaks that we always checked out in the 70's. Nonetheless it's great to see footage of them. Brings back many memories of trips down the coast.
It's a shit wave. Fat and wide when bigger than four foot.
thank you for this really helpful video! :)
Great work Leigh
Leigh - which engine did you choose?
I have the V6. I love the car so much I ordered another one (this one will be 5 years old by then) with a straight six diesel. Mid next year I will be doing a review on that. This one will be on the market then.
@@leighwilson1524 I went with the v6 diesel from 2018 - I got a good deal on a one owner version. I bought mostly for the off road abilities in Colorado.
i have read, if charged by a bear, people should drop their jackets
I want USA like the ❤
Leigh Wilson been to the yard lately buddy?
Hi Dave, yah 2 weeks ago. It has not been the right conditions lately. It is sure busier now than 10 years ago.
@@leighwilson1524 cheers for the reply, iv watched this clip for the last ten years or so once a year, best one on YT, ya so many times me n my mates would have it to our selves in the late 80s... haven't been back for a lil over 20 years.
Thanks for your video. I recently got my 2018 Discovery HSE MY2019 and it arrived with continental cross contact 275/45 r21 lx sport tyres. At least two of the tyres need to be replaced very soon. I'm just wondering if it's worth changing the tyres to all terrain tyres if at some stage I want to take it on the sand? Your thoughts if you don't mind. Thanks
I currently have B. F. Goodrich KO2s Tyres on my car, great off road but a little noisy at 80 kph. Also poor grip on wet highways. This video was done on the original tyres and if you averaging a sandy day trip once a year I would stay with all seasons. As being new to the Discovery it will take a while to understand the Off road settings. In soft sand start with 15 psi, traction control off, high range and manual shift and experiment with 2500rpms in 2nd high in the soft flat sand and slowly increase and decrease your revs and see if you can feel the sweet spot or "float" spot that your Discovery is doing it without much drag. Some people get the "feel" faster than others. Sand driving is all about smoothness and the sweet spot creating the least drag.
The ripcurl is a great suit .but it rips so easy had it fixted twice so far .nice n warm thought
amazing!
I can see your tire is BF 275/55/R20 at genuine wheels. but i want to know if you install any additional parts (Hub spacer or lifter). Thanks in advance. i also have LD5.
The BF 275/55/R20 fits the D5 without any changes to the car. No contact with car at all.The new BF Goodrich - Trail-Terrain T/A may be worth a look. As the KO2 ages it seems to be getting noisier and not that good in rain on highways.
Great video thanks. Do you remember was name of the accomodation by any chance?
Thanks, the accomodation CILOMS AIRPORT LODGE. 398 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine, Victoria, Have fun.
This was one of the nicest reviews, it's like listening to a nice narrated story. Please do more.
Thank you for your kind words. I own these boards so it is hard to do frequent review as I am not able to get demos.
Thanks Leigh! Good stuff.
Hey Leigh, what setting was the right? Cheers, Tom
Hi Tom, the clips were intermediate except at 4.10 that was advanced with barrels. They now have an Advance turning which a mate of mind told me that was the best for experienced people. One problem was that low intermediate surfers were going into the advance and falling on take off coursing problems for the next surfer.
Great videos Leigh, thanks. I'm considering buying one, any thoughts on 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder engine?
Thanks Mr T. I personally would not buy a 4 because of the many cases I have read about on the " Land Rover Discovery % Group Australia" Facebook Group of engine issues . It would be worth doing some research online before buying a 4. The 6 is so economical anyway. You will not be disappointed with the way the D5 drives. It is comfortable and relaxing on a long trip.
Great choice. I might get the same spec
Hi Peter, thanks for watching. Depending which country the D5 is heading the 2022 standard features and options varied. In Australia I have notice a few differences now. 21" wheels are standard which are less off-roadable plus 20" tyres have greater choices. I think a 20" wheel is a no cost option. The rear locking diff is an option even on the off road option. A full size wheel is a no cost option. Enjoy the D5 when you get it. Let me know how you like it.
Great video, you can upgrade the newer grill , and Fin trims on bottom on the side if the front bumper to bring it up to 2021/2 d5s regards mark
Thanks Mark. Yes I have looked into those tweaks and decided I will just for a major upgrade or the D6. Thanks for watching.
That Cymatic is the most amazing board I've ever ridden! I feel like I'm doing the best surfing of my life on it...
Hi Leigh, Out of interest, how often did you use low range on the island? Thanks
I notice the KO2’s are about a 32” tyre and the factory tyre was a 31”. Any dramas with tyre rubbing on full lock and in all suspension settings? Do you know if you could get an 18” rim on the car?
This is great thank you
This was a great review Leigh, I have a quiver and in that i have a Lost Puddle jumper that i usually ride as a quad, also a 6'4" that i usually ride as a quad also, have you tried the H4's as a complete quad set? If I were to buy the whole set it would be a lot of $$$'s, so Im just weighing up getting a cheaper set or are these fins as good as they say they are? Thanks
Thanks Wayne. I am currently riding a Dominator 2 with a H4 Quad set. I tried various Tri and Quad when I first got the Dominator 2 and after several weeks I found the H4 Quad the best set up. On bigger windier day the Quad was more in control but on small grovel day they still generate speed. If the Lost Puddle Jumper goes well as a Quad the H4s will fly. Let me know how you go.
Nice, $10,000 is good, but a Garmin or Hema navigation system and it will work better anyway. Makes that a much more affordable car. I had D3 and loved the capacity of space, defender has too small an opening, and this lost the split tailgate and lost square storage capacity. Had mine full to the brim in the back with a great drawer system etc. Hoping the new models in the defender family become the d5 this should have been… I ultimately would love a cab chassis version even if they had to build a solid tray setup or something as part of their design. Then the ultimate camper can be made.
Great video Leigh, well done.
Thank Greg. How is your's going
@@leighwilson1524 perfectly, just back from a 7 month, 40 000km trip around Australia with no problems at all.
Great update - Thanks.
Thanks Peter. Is there anything you would like to see in my next video?
@@leighwilson1524 Just more content about the D5 and your road trips would be nice.
Interesting, where do you find the SD card for the maps?
btw i love my disco sport 2017. No serious probs. A pleasure to drive. Perhaps I've been lucky getting a Wednesday built car :) I have received incredible dealership service and support whenever I go there albeit for minor issues.
On the D5 the SD card is in the console.Not sure on the Sport.
Have you noticed any knocking from the front wheels when going over bumps, as something is knocking or hitting something? There seems to be a few similar reports of this on the internet. I have a 2017 Discovery but just dont know what is the real cause of this knock when going over speed bumps or running over holes in the road. Definitely coming from the front wheel passenger side though.
Sorry, no I have not. So far so good. I hope you find a solution
I'm not familiar with the D5 suspension, but when I have had that on other LR products, it has been anti-roll bar droplinks.
Excellent video, great commentary. Thanks God bless
Thanks Joshua. I see that you enjoy your D5 also.
I used to after lots of big holes or sand remove the plastic cladding and clean behind them… be careful and buy replacement mount plugs cause I managed to always break one or two. Hahaha but we’ll worth it for stopping build up.
Thanks. I will give that a go after my next trip😃
Thanks Leigh. Super helpful seeing the park as it is, without all the fancy editing, filters, pro surfers and drone footage. Keep keepin' it real :P
Thanks Adam. Urbansurf is still checking out. Next time I hope there is off shore winds like the promo vids.
Nothing stupid about a black bear Now a grizzly that wud be stupid
You use clay to remove tar paint residue etc. If you do it too much you’ll end up with bare paint 😊
