I suppose if you want race car type handling then you spec up a V8 with the RRS’s Dynamic handling as standard. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

My HSE has wires coming out the centre of the front dampers.... not sure if its sensors for something else or?

How does the Defender handle compared to Disco 5? Specifically the newest ingenium ones


I feel the defender handles better but the D5 is a better cruiser

And having had more air suspension land rovers than I can remember, air is the way to go Mike

I think I’ve got used to it, it doesn’t seem so bad now, it’s just a much more relaxed driving style

I’ve had Fl2s and Discos, so pretty used to the lofty handling, but I spent the last 3 years with a Velar that handles pretty well for a LR, though not a car I’d have again.
