Well if what I have heard is true, Land Rover are right not to launch the car with a new engine that isn't ready for launch.

Saw one this evening, 18.15 in full LR camo colours, southbound carriageway at the end of the M40 J15 slip road, sadly on the hard shoulder with an RAC van in attendance....

Or first customer car with gearbox failure!.

I bet that's what LR said to you Tony "never seen them do that before, unheard of" - takes me back to those "wonderful" days of Austin Rover/ British Leyland when the problem your car was on the hard shoulder with was unique to to your particular car!

First Discovery Sport to get Ingenium will be the eD4 2.0d 150bhp, 2wd.

From what I've read.

Only too true! Over on the other forum there are a few with 9 speed issues and at least one with a replacement gearbox.

I got a Shock yesterday when I went up to talk business, it seems my D4 has lost £6K in 6 months so thats the HSE right out the window.

So rather than put myself in an uncomfortable position financially I've went for entry level SE

Spec
SD4 SE Manual (been put off the auto )
Loire blue (might take Scotia Grey)
Cirrus partial leather
18"alloys
Fogs
Privacy glass
Heated steering wheel
Illuminated aluminium tread plates
Mats
Mudflaps
5yrs servicing £499

No auto lights/wipers available on this car, should be standard for a car costing £32,395

How old's the D4? Have you tried a different dealer? Trying to decide if the disc sport is worth it as a replacement for our ageing D4 at the mo. That and do we wait for the new engines.

Your right avoiding the 9 speed and would not touch a DS for a good number of years, it will be built on the same lines as the Evoque and even after 3 years in production they cannot get the QC right.
