Sure I now have a place to keep a roll of quarters, but you have cold beer when you get there ...you win.

The Good #2: There's a foam block space-filler under the jack that can be replaced with a 20' tow strap and shackles. When rolled, the strap should be about the same dimensions as the foam and be nicely hidden away.

Great tip - I will check it out, but hard to beat the space under the rear hatch when not dragging around a useless third row seat. From what I've heard that would be a cool beer and far from cold.

That useless 3rd row is how I ended up with my Disco. Every once in a while I've got in-laws or a few of my kids' friends and need the space, I was tired of having to take two cars in those cases. I took six kids to a carnival last weekend and it must have looked like a clown car with all the kids coming out of the back that is seemingly too small for a 3rd row from the outside. Although 90% of the time the seats are folded and my dog laying down in the back.

I still have yet to run into any scenario where I needed to raise or lower my back seats remotely from my phone ...but I'm ready.

I usually have mine full of hockey gear (hence the need for space) and knew after my last vehicle that the 3rd row was no longer a requirement. Gotta love the clown car reference though.

I'd be interested. Just ordered my wife's CPO Disco HSE and it is being shipped next week from a East Coast LR dealership.

Shouldn't happen in a 10-month-old vehicle: leaky transmission!

As described in my initial post, our second row double seats didn't slide well back and forth - one had to yank the seats outwards to slide forward. First, I was told they operated as intended but when I asked the mechanic to show me how it's done, he was unable and agreed there was a problem => they replaced the seat rails/latch mechanism. That's how the vehicle was returned to me.... I start believing they are fed up working on our D5.....
