Hi everyone,
I'm looking for help, please, in the form of a DIY guide for changing the battery on a 2016 Discovery Sport HSE. The manual instructs me to take it to the dealership as "special tools" are necessary, but that's 30 miles away and the battery is completely dead.

I can find info on the earlier Evoque's but not the Disco Sport (the newer Evoque uses the same rear brakes). I am going to replace the rotors and pads. I am not going with ceramic pads this...

  6. A Fast Service Interval

    Discovery Sport Maintenance And Service
    I have a 2019 DS HSE (177kw petrol) that I took delivery from the dealer in mid-June. The DS has roughly 4500 miles on it. Last week at startup I started getting getting a message in the instrument cluster telling me that service is due in 1800 miles. That seems awfully soon. I have read...
