Talk:Land Rover Discovery

message: The main article, mostly in the Disco 3 section, has several conflicting uses of tense, e.g. is/was, will/did, has/had.  I feel that it should be brought into conformity.  Is there a consensus of which tense should be used? —Travis C/T\U 15:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the width right? 86.2 inches is wide - I've read it's 75.4" Are the other specs correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.53.19.25 (talk) 13:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Please do not add links that are contrary to guidelines. The external links section should be used for official sites, reviews and sites which contain information that is pertinent to the subject but can't be included for whatever reason. Forums, fansites and clubs are not acceptable links due to the fact there is lack of editorial oversight, lack of notability and lack of accessibility in some cases (ie. needing to sign up to enter the site).-Localzuk(talk) 22:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would like to point out the standard list of links normally to be avoided, specifically, sites which sell something or have  a lot of advertising. I have seen several "get your Land Rover parts here"-type links added in the past. —Travistalk 15:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Possibly a need to review the classification "full size" and "mid size" etc... given
- the Discovery I when it arrived was larger than the then current model Range Rover
- the Range Rover Sport is based on the Discovery chassis/pan 
so to call one "full size" and the other "mid size" seems somewhat misleading.

message: As an authority on the history of the Land Rover Discovery, and someone who is in the process of writing a book about same, I'd be happy to help with this page to improve it where required and to keep it up-to-date as far as possible.L-R-D-EU (talk) 12:03, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Happy to help! 

message: I would like to see some write-up on the Discovery Concept Vision, unveiled on April 14th, 2014:
* Press Release on the official US website
* UK mini-site
Discovery lineup will be extended with the creation of a smaller LR Discovery Sport - similarly to the Range Rover & Range Rover Sport lineup; not sure if that would warrant a separate article, or if Discovery Sport would be described here...
I'm happy to put something together, but wasn't sure if someone wasn't already looking into this...

message: I do not understand why this picture:
300px|right|thumb
has been replaced with this picture
In my opinion, for one of the pictures the photographer stood much too close, and set his zoom to maximum distort.  Also he angled it oddly for no obvious reason, which gives rise to an image rather different from what you would see if you were there at the time and saw the car.   
(And the car's a tad dusty.   And it's got some distracting reflections along the side.)
In my opinion the other picture is not too bad.
However, I appreciate that what you see when you look at a car has as much to do with the processes unfolding inside your brain as it has to do with what is objectively in front of you.   Also, I've noticed we all see things differently.   And I should point out that one of these pictures was taken by me, so if no one else shares my opinion on this I'll shut up.

replies: text: I would agree that the subject, framing, etc. are all superior in the first photo. --ColinMB (talk) 15:33, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Charles. I changed the photo as the white car is not in original condition. The wheels appear aftermarket (there is no LR badge) and the driving lamps and their mounting bar are surely non-stock. This is in accordance with WP:CARPIX: "Avoid pictures of customized cars (e.g. incorrect wheels or other aftermarket components like bodykits or conversions for police or taxi applications) as they are not representative of the vehicle's factory specification".
