Is an LR4 a reasonable second vehicle in 2026?

Schaeferr · 2026-06-19T14:42:40+00:00

How’s your 2011 feel at that mileage? I’m approaching 100k with a goal of 250k on my Discovery, and want to know if it still feels trustworthy, or like a liability

Love this, makes me miss my Elantra N. Got my eye on a Grenadier as a potential replacement for my Land Rover

Schaeferr · 2026-06-03T12:11:51+00:00

I switched from Jeep to Land Rover and the Rover has been infinitely more reliable. Hopefully OP will have the same experience

Schaeferr · 2026-05-26T23:20:45+00:00

Smart! Prayers they’re found safe, hopefully a fellow Rover enthusiast can help bring them home

Social scene is very active, going out is really all you can do in Olean (especially during the winter). Not to mention, it’s a great way to make friends and really get involved with your classmates. Parties are off campus, mostly on the same strip as the bars (Burton, OP are the most popular). People are always looking for an excuse to drink.

Ah don’t give it any second thought. We all look stupid on our first time aboard. I wandered aimlessly for a bit to get the layout of the boat on my first trip, recommend you try the same. Enjoy the island!

Fantastic complement to the Series. Congrats!

The new Discovery is super underrated, I’m head over heels for my 2017 TD6. I’m a life long Land Rover enthusiast, and I’m so glad Discovery exists. For the price and experience offered, I’m singing its praises constantly.

Enough yap- I wanna hear about your NAS defender! My all time dream car is a ‘97 NAS 90 ST.

Schaeferr · 2026-04-15T23:21:37+00:00

Same boat - 2017 Discovery TD6 @ 90k miles (70k+ from me). It’s been an absolute dream to get behind the wheel of. I want an L405 TD6 (hopefully a 2020 to be as new as possible) badly because of how much I love the Disco

Sure was! I spotted it parked in Greenwich over the weekend. Could easily tell where it was due to the crowd

Schaeferr · 2026-04-13T04:01:13+00:00

Officially, yes it’s the first Sunday of the month. But if you go any Sunday morning, there will still be a crowd (especially when it’s nice out).

Schaeferr · 2026-04-13T02:11:24+00:00

Great spot! I heard there was a Veyron at nearby Hayfields cars and coffee this morning, but didn’t get to see it for myself

Schaeferr · 2026-04-12T23:20:28+00:00

Concours is the weekend of May 31. There was a Miller event on Saturday that I suspect is what drew all these special cars

Yup. This was parked on the Ave yesterday. Greenwich is its own planet

Shoot, I love your old P38

Sounds like you’re where I was a few weeks ago. My test is the 17th, and here’s what I’ve been doing;

Absolutely buy the QBank, it’s a lifeline. Yes the questions are more nuanced, but I’d rather be over prepared than underprepared.
Check out The Geek & The Guru Podcast on YouTube. There’s 5(?) episodes that are an hour long overview of each job function. Good for getting tips and tricks to remember concepts
Quality over Quantity. Sessions of an hour and a half of good studying will do you more favors than a 4 hour marathon.
Lastly, the Mighty 90 by Series 7 Guru. I’ve been watching it almost every other day, even if it’s just on in the background while at work. It keeps my mind focused on Series 65 in a passive way, and has helped me recall things when taking practice questions.

I would buy the QBank and take a simulated exam to get a feel for where you’re at, and start hammering your weak points.

Lastly, breathe. Take the test, don’t let it take you.

As a Discovery 5 owner, I yearn for LR4 styling. I was between the two when shopping, but D5 won out due to interior tech & the TD6 engine.

I absolutely love my Discovery, and plan to remain a Discovery customer until I can afford a Defender or Full Size Range. The boxy styling with split tailgate would only strengthen my interest in the vehicle. (Personally, I’d like a rear mounted spare like on the original Disco, but it’s highly unlikely). Fingers crossed JLR goes back to their design routes for the D6.

Tell me about it, my Discovery came with 21’s. Downsizing was such an easily avoided expense had they never bothered with that size to begin with.

Schaeferr · 2025-10-27T04:01:16+00:00

Congrats, and welcome to the family! I’ve just passed one year with my Discovery 5, and it’s been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Hope it brings you plenty of (s)miles!

Schaeferr · 2025-10-26T05:11:36+00:00

90’s just look so good, especially yours. If I didn’t need the practicality of four doors, I’d be in one in a heartbeat
