Well done 👏 much prefer a video without music. Cracking vid.

[@D4SVX]

Yeah slowly getting to grips with the music Sid of it. Has its place but not full length like my other videos 😂 I’ll get there 😅

[@chrisg1234fly]

Yip, nice to hear those engines do there stuff!!

[@simongentry]

I love the sounds of the cars, the wind - makes for a much more interesting clip - as if you were there.

[@wesammansour1486]

Great video! Thank you for sharing

[@leighwilson1524]

Great video showing a D5 with 20" wheels can do. My video is opposite, it is in thick sand and warms days. I love seeing people enjoy their Discoverys . Well done

[@landroverdiscovery5269]

Brilliant content mate

[@STUNN312]

LOVE THE NO MUSIC APPROACH. ALL MECHANICAL SOUNDS

[@malcoppock4255]

Awesome

[@davidlundrigan1435]

Great video and a relief that there's no music, far better way to enjoy just hearing the vehicles. D4 seems far more capable.

[@1srowlings]

Good video mate

[@TheBabass276]

Very Nice vidéo 👍👍👍

[@jameskassolos4652]

where did you get the driving lights for the D5? they look great.

[@amarokadventuresuk9458]

Great little film.. I love it up there but i've only done it in the summer so fair play to you guys. Allt-Y-Badi i've done both ways and Splashy. I think i've done Pontfadog - Does it have a really short steep section literally 30 yards in from the tarmac. Full right boot or your winching.

[@D4SVX]

Thanks 😊👍🏻 So at the minute there’s a one way restriction on Allt y Badi which is a bit annoying but we have to live with it. Usually both ways in the summer so it’s all good 👍🏻 yeah the Pontfadog one is one that takes you by surprise a bit. Turn a corner and you’re faced with a rock cliff in the track and like you say you need to give it a good crack, one day someone will make a camera that makes these tracks look as intimidating as they are when you’re stood in front of them 😂🤞🏻

[@grantinsley]

D5 a little bit hesitant but I suppose at the price one needs to be a bit careful. D3/4 are becoming more affordable and are immensely capable.

[@timm9114]

I’m so digging the discovery (I assume 5). Been looking at a new family rig that has good off-road capabilities. I never even gave Land Rover a look until doing some plumbing work at a customers house last week. He took me for a fun test drive in his 2018 and I was blown away at the comfort, look, off the line quickness (it was a turbo or supercharged model). Definitely looking at some now

[@D4SVX]

They definitely do all of those things, big, comfy, quick and capable 👍🏻

[@PUBLICSECTORJOBSWORTHS]

How did the d5 compare to the d3 and d4? Giz a shout next time you head into Wales, I'm just prepping a D3 for green laning.

[@simongentry]

do you guys know of any Disco 5’s with snorkels? is it possible?

[@dannymill6478]

Hey mate, do you always take the arch trims off when going at it ? .. or are they permanently removed..

[@D4SVX]

Basically they came off because they need trimming up to suit the 33”s, just haven’t got round to refitting them. Also had a load of new clips delivered this week so should be back on soon 🤞🏻

[@matthewadby1077]

@@D4SVX Definitely a market out there for replacement extended arches

[@davidforbes6250]

TA VERY MUCHA!

[@AlexseyGromov]

Are those stock city tires that the land rover D5 is sold with?

[@D4SVX]

It’s using the BFGoodrich KO2 all terrain tyre 👍🏻

[@x5or]

Slightly limited by road tires with narrow side walls but it's perfect 👍 See this poor Freelander how it performs : m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4areKOunpl3pNE

[@user-sm4mr1xb5h]

應該是沒選裝后鎖吧，很多地方過的沒有“發現4”從容！

[@mikeb53]

6:38 given the price of it, I would hope so. If my 20 year old D2 (only mildly modified) can climb splashy a current model Disco should make short work of it. If it couldn't, I'd be asking LR for my money back! Great video, great watch. Your D4 is a lot more extreme than mine. How did you manage to get 33's onto it? I thought the absolute max size tyre was a 32" and you'd need a 2" lift for them and possibly bump stops.

[@D4SVX]

Lots of chopping 😂 I’ll be doing a video in the near future on all the areas that have been chopped and the spacers/limit straps bump stop blocks etc used to get it to work 👍🏻

[@grahameroberts8109]

The fellow at 3:35 needs educating on winch safety. He might lose his head standing in that location. Safety is paramount EVERY time. Great video and I too appreciate the absence of music. Cheers. 🦘🙏🦘

[@CoreyMarlin]

As a novice offroad driver, it seems like the difference between the D4 and 5 here just comes down to the driver. The D4 drivers just seem to send it more. I coiuld be totally off though.. I just bought a 2019 D5 so maybe im just hoping thats true

[@D4SVX]

There’s definitely an element of that, realistically you could buy both of the d4’s in the video for the price of Paul’s D5. Terrain response in the d5 is a massive step above that in the d4. The d4 has better angles than the d5, approach departure and break over. Both d4’s are running 275/70/18 (33.5”) tyres whereas the d5 is on 265/65/18 (31”) tyres and the lead d4 (mine) has front and rear ARB air locking diffs which definitely help making things look easy.

[@CoreyMarlin]

That makes sense! Thanks for the clarification. I dont think my D5 has auto terrain response - I havent taken delivery yet. But I do know that its running on 275/45/R21 tires which are not going to be ideal for off roading. My plan is to enjoy the look of them for a bit and then look for a nice set or 18 or 19 inch wheels and get some good AT tires. @@D4SVX

[@D4SVX]

@@CoreyMarlin the 265/65:18 are a perfect size. As far as I remember there’s no mods required to make them fit a d5, they offer good sidewall height to allow for pressure reducing too. BFGoodrick KO2 are an incredibly robust tyre and last forever. I had 25,000 on mine and they still had 8mm left. Can’t recommend highly enough

[@jerusalempo8105]

Land Rover win this race it’s better than discovery performance

[@chrisclark2730]

Hi is there any way of contacting you direct. I have a D4 and looking to modify it and get out green laning etc. I'm based in Heysham Lancashire. Thanks Chris

[@D4SVX]

Hi Chris. Sorry for the delayed reply. Best way is on Instagram @d4_svx 👍🏻

[@chelseadaddy7061]

Take a jeep wrangler landcruiser overcthat course please.

[@D4SVX]

Ok, are you based in the Uk? Have you got a land cruiser or a J**p wrangler?

[@Zveroboi771]

Хааа вот это скрипы у нового Дискавери 5 😳🤦😂😂😂😁

[@46osrpk]

На пятом диско ехала девушка что ли?

[@akosbalazs5677]

D5 driver did it too slow. No momentum whatsoever.

[@OpenAiring]

Lost its identity.

[@D4SVX]

The discovery 5?

[@michaelnugara1]

The guy in the disco 5 was painful to watch. First time out by the look of it

[@chelseadaddy7061]

My landcruiser would just drive over these "obstacles " wtf???

[@D4SVX]

Ok 👍🏻

[@taranis616]

Cut some slack, it’s a car not a proper 4x4. Pretty impressive I reckon.
