    LR3/LR4 3rd world experience, durability

    If you said buy a Toyota or drive your LR3 from London to Cape Town, I would take the LR3 . I am just really lucky I guess. 2006, bought in 2010, and she is as reliable as a hammer. Sorry to disappoint, no horror stories, 92 000 miles young, used off road, overlander, drift boat tug...

    LR3/LR4 3rd world experience, durability

    A young couple took an LR3 from England, across Europe, Asia, to Tasmania. They had no mechanicals, other than a self induced one, where a wheel wasn't tightened properly, and came loose in Australia. They had a tent, practically no mechanical skills, no winch, no armour, no big roof rack, and...

    2017 Discovery drive..Land Rover is getting back to its old self again!

    So close to an Explorer it is dead to me. The horizontal rear lights vs. traditional vertical... combined with the minivan rear hatch... gawd.

    The DiscoDavis Discovery 3 Build Thread

    Great to see the trucks getting used, but a tad disconcerting that alternators were committed to memory after what seems to be a little wading and water. Hmmm. Does anyone have experience with this, and is there an antidote? Is there a good link somewhere for waterproofing LR3 electrics?

    Discovery 3 (LR3) and Discovery 4 (LR4) Registry

    Awesome! I think what he means is the fairlead portion of the plate doesnt extend all the way to the bumper. So by spacing it away from the cross member, you could mount this plate further out , and close the gap to the bumper exit. For 50 bucks you could be in for a winch and plate for 350...

    D3/LR3 seat covers?

    Those look awesome, and I know they look better in person. Some things just look better with age, and these have character. Seriously keen for those that ordered them to start posting pics once installed. I just did a transmission fluch, so there went my Land Rover budget for the month! :-)

    Technical LR wheel question.

    Toddco Spacers Toddco bodyspacers... I heard they tear airbags in certain situations and are not to be used. A better bet is the Lucky 8 Proud Rhino lift rods which are on sale now. (no affiliation, just a repeat customer) Wheelspacers: Pooh-poohed by many. A lot of LR4's including the...
