Advice on a new vehicle? (to augment or replace the LR3)
Not a fan of third row seating personally. I own a 1996 Tahoe and now a 2008 LR3. I love my Tahoe but with 200k miles on it and years and abuse before I got it I decided to semi-retire the truck. I ended up getting a Land Rover for it's off-road and on-road capability but it has some distinct... -

Do you regret keeping it past warranty?
My 2 cents (sense?) is it also depends on the extended warranty you get. Getting an extended warranty is like buying insurance (which it is anyway), you feel you don't need it when nothing happens but it sure feels great to have when something does. Inevitably, as cars get older, they need... -

Rover rant
My saddest day was when I sold my boat. I still regret it, even though it was the right thing. So, no problems so far on my LR3. Knock on head. -

How to strip the coating off the light guards
I don't know but working on old Army jeeps I've heard that Chem Dip works great for cleaning things up. That might be hard to find though. Kerosene is helpful. What about plain old paint remover/stripper? You probably will need to leave it on there a while and recoat periodically. Does... -

ARB Fridge
I like the idea of a plywood base bolted down. Pretty cool! Do you use spacers between the carpeting and the plywood? -

OEM Driving Lights
My question, regarding DIY installing the driving lamps, is, for us retards, is there a written or KISS instruction guide to follow? My ground-pounder brain can't seem to follow the pictures too well. It looks like, from the LR Owner's Accessory Fitting Instructions site that there are options... -

Attended: Dealer Sponsored offroad event !
Fantastic! Really makes me miss living in the Southwest, in Santa Fe, NM. There just aren't roads, or open-minded people, like that here in Boston. -

Extended Warranties
Working on it and will let you know as soon as I've got an answer back. The dealership I bought my LR3 is the Land Rover Bedford dealership in Bedford, NH, part of the Goodwin Motor Group. I should hear back tomorrow. -

Extended Warranties
When I bought my 2008 LR3 I asked the same question. They are using someone that Land Rover now recommends - I'll have to get their name - but to extend out to 7 years/100,000 miles it's about $3300. Ford offers an Extended Service Plan warranty as well and for the Premium Care plan with the... -

oil leak ?
Just a thought from when I used to run my family's autolube shops in CA - oil from changing the filter and/or draining from the engine that splashed onto cross-members and the skid plates. Is it possible that whoever worked on it last didn't clean up properly? I would definitely say the O-ring... -

Tire-General Grabber AT2,
But the 18's should fit a 2008 LR3, right? They both are the same platform vehicle, just the HSE gets the 19" and the SE gets the 18". -

Factory crossbars
This is good for me to know because I do carry weight on the roof sometimes. Having them bend like that would be pointless for me. And frustrating! Get your money back. They obviously aren't living up to their specs. -

Spare Wheel Protection
When I looked at the BAS device from Uncle Ray on Disco3.co.uk it looks to me like the plate covers the access area to the spare tire winch. The spare tire holding device must hook onto the plate which then covers everything when the wheel is winched back into position. That way, the only way... -

Tire-General Grabber AT2,
Tire Rack, Discount Tire, and others are around $305-330 for those tires. I was poking around their websites and saw them for that price (on Tire Rack) for the 19" wheels as well. -

Roof Tent
Very nice! I like what I see but I think for now I'll stick with my ground-pounder gear. I generally do more camping in the Fall so have less of a bug issue. But I saw a tent that comes off the back of a LR that looked interesting too. In the meantime I need to get a roof rack, something I... -

On the beach.. lets see if I have this right
All the physics discussion is bringing me back! I'm reminded of studying physics for my commercial diving classes and in high school but it's all good reminders of how these vehicles are engineered - the forces at play. As far as digging in in soft sand or mud, that's why a lot of people carry...
