Good Morning
I have a Disco Sport 9 speed auto 240cv and it has a terrible hesitation when trying to accelerate, from standing start, nipping into a traffic gap on a roundabout, tight corner with incline.
My wife really struggles with the car. It scares her and she has driven many miles in other cars including earlier LandRovers.
Can anybody identify with this problem and give me some help please?
I have taken it in 3 times to LandRover and they just say it is a characteristic of this car - boy oh boy - it is a HORRIBLE one.
thank you

  3. Larger tires on DS?

    Land Rover Discovery Sport General Discussion
    I'm thinking of getting some new tires for my DS and was wondering what is the largest that would still fit on my 18" rims (currently 235/60R18). Whilst the opening is huge, I noticed there's not that much space between the tire and the front shock on the inside, but can probably add another 1"...

  5. 2016 HSE or 2017 SE

    Land Rover Discovery Sport General Discussion
    I'm interested in purchasing a Discovery Sport and I've got a couple of local options available. Assuming mileage, condition, and price are similar, would I be better off with the HSE on the 2016 or go with the newer 2017 but just SE? Appreciate any feedback!

  6. Need a little help

    Land Rover Discovery Sport General Discussion
    Good morning, I'm new here and I need a little guidance. I have a 2016 Discovery Sport and up until about 4 weeks ago it was more or less fine. The only issue I had with it is having to add coolant once a month or so because it drinks it. However that is not my current issue. I went out this...
