    Considering an LR4. Would you buy one at 100k mileage?

    I can find plenty online at maybe 70k miles for about $40k+ but I located Landmark with all options (HD included) but...100k miles. I don't need to purchase anytime soon I just want to get back into one.

    Coolant issues and not really the LR3's fault

    Ok so I've rarely been getting the low coolant level message. I'd check it and level is fine. This has actually gone on for a few years with zero issues. I recently saw it again and checked the fluid, all was well. I then let my daughter drive it and she was out all day and came home late. She...

    Looking for advice on taking a stock LR3 up a notch to be a bit more capable

    This is what I'm imagining then someone invites me to a trip and tells me halfway in "you might scratch up your truck today. You should consider adding plates...". Love the iKamper. Curious how you store it when not in use? I just don't have the room. GAP tool or similar I've wanted for a...

    Looking for advice on taking a stock LR3 up a notch to be a bit more capable

    So our LR3 has been my wife's daily for years and occasionally we've gone out with family into the hills around Apple Valley CA. We've been told there are other trails to explore but we shouldn't consider it without tires and sliders. So it's 80% on road, 20% off. I think it's time for a mild...

    New LR4, Old LR3...what to do?

    Same dilemma here. Bought our 2008 LR3 HSE (w/locker, all options + entertainment) new and have loved every 147k miles. It's due for control arms but otherwise is fantastic shape (all suspension bits are new including front LSD, hubs, and brakes all around). My only question I've been wondering...

    Way too much body roll to the point it's dangerous

    Thanks again and sorry for the multiple posts. I wouldn't have thought that many would be checking all of the more popular sites.

    Way too much body roll to the point it's dangerous

    Wife wanted an LR3 (2008 HSE), we've only been off road a couple of times. My son came of driving age and the wife bought a c-class for herself (wanted better mileage) and let the boy stay safe driving the LR to school. I haven't driven it in a couple of years and just this past weekend...

    pls help me to find a good shop for my rover

    I also need a recommendation in SoCal (specifically North Orange). Gerry at OC Rovers in Brea I may try. For me the front diff is starting to go. Or so I think. Drew

    Plasti-Dipped Wheel Arches and Plastics

    This is my first post in years on our LR-3. My wife just this weekend bought a Mercedes for herself and I may now start driving the LR now and again. I'm immediately intrigued. Two questions, MX...that isn't an OEM grill. Where to get it? Paint on ours flaked off for no reason. We had it...

    Guess how much my dealer charges for tie-rods?

    OK, more detail: Not tie-rods but control arm bushings are shot (evidenced by clunking noises-reason we brought it in)=$roughly $1500 for all 4. Battery + neg cable = $424 Throttle body injector service = $260 (we notice a slightly rough idle and very slight surging, slight as in barely...

    Guess how much my dealer charges for tie-rods?

    Apparantly what I heard on my answering machine was $2400 for a "tie-rod assembly" and a new battery. Where in the heck do they get $2400 from? Thx, -Drew
