Looking for dealer recommendation for Build Your Own Defender 130 in California
Hi - I am looking to purchase a 2024 Land Rover Defender 130 S and would like to Build My Own with all the things I believe I want. I am based in Los Angeles, CA. I read through several forum posts about initial deposit varying from $1K-5K. And also heard of stories that dealers install...- Raj1

Any recommendations for an independent Mechanic in Pasadena or surrounding areas?
Hi - I have an LR3 which runs great. I am looking to do 1. A routine oil change without having to pay for “full inspection and checks”. I can even bring the oil and oil filter for the mechanic :-) 2. My coolant indicator is not functioning. I am told on other forums it’s a pretty common... -

After market GPS ideas
Has anyone updated their default LR3 navigation? I have a 2007 LR3 HSE and the navigation works and has never been updated as far as I know. How can I update it without having to take it to a dealership? Anyway I can also add real time traffic detection? :-) -

Suggestions for economical running boards for my LR3
I just asked 2 local body shops for quotes to just install these side steps/ running boards and they quoted me $180-200. They said it's about 4 hours of effort. Does that sound about right? Thanks -

Preparing to buy a 2007 LR3 HSE with 75K miles for $15K - what issues to check for?
Thanks, jwest. I am based in Los Angeles. Any referrals you have are appreciated. I also spoke with Ford ESP and they told me that the only way I could buy an ESP is via a Ford dealer. I contacted the local Ford dealer and they will inspect the car and then give me a quote. They also charge... -

Thanks jwest. I think I will start shopping around for warranties. Any suggestions on which companies to approach for warranties for cars which donot have ongoing warranty? Thanks -

That's great feedback, jwest. Let me CHk on the warranty. In the event the current owner does not have an ongoing / valid warranty, is there a way I can buy a policy on my own to cover any repairs? Thanks -

Preparing to buy a 2007 LR3 HSE with 75K miles for $15K - what issues to check for?
Hello, I am a novice in this forum. I recently test drove a first-owner 2007 LR3 HSE in the Bay Area with 75K miles on it and fell in love. He is offering it to me for $15K. The car seems to be maintained really well and he has detailed service records for the past 8 years. Carfax came clean... -

Anyone have 3 car seats in 2nd row?
I checked out the Discovery Sport today - very small for my needs. Is it scary that a car model I buy will not be in production in 1 year? Wont that impact the cost of parts? -

Anyone have 3 car seats in 2nd row?
Thanks Danrhiggins. Sorry - I am new to this but is the LR4 the same as Discovery? If so, then with the sliding seats, it should meet my configuration requirements with 3 narrow car seats in 2nd row and ability to squeeze in to the 3rd row of needed. Any idea when we can order the new 2016 LR4? -

Custom ordering an LR4 for San Gabriel, CA delivery
Hello, Any suggestions on how I can custom order an LR4? Our designated dealer is in Pasadena and they donot take custom orders. The reason I am looking to custom order is that I donot want to pay for things which I will never use such as navigation system and Sirius radio. They are... -

Anyone have 3 car seats in 2nd row?
Thanks a lot, everyone. I am convinced to have my 3 kids seated in the 2nd row now. So is it true that the 2nd row seats do not slide aft and back? If so, if someone had to go to the 3rd row seats, the only option would be from the trunk/ rear door, correct? Any idea if LR4 might allow... -

Hello, My kids are 4.5yrs, 3yrs and 3months old. Any suggestions on best configuration of car seats? Is it safe to have all 3 car seats in 2nd row? The youngest kid will need rear facing seat for an year -

Putting in a stroller while all 3 rows are in use
I agree Dan on the off-road :-) I wonder if there are stroller racks available? If they have it for kayaks, why not for strollers, eh? Well - I have 3 kids in age group 3 months - 4.5 years. I guess I could have the oldest kid be in the 3rd on her own. We were hoping to have the older kids...
