    technical differences between discovery 3 & LR3

    He has one of the few metal spring, early 05 models brought to the US, IIRC. No rear air in the other pictures, either.

    a/c flaps opening and closing

    ditto - take a tech on a tour, or at least someone who will verify and learn to replicate the same condition later (and on a QC run after the repair).

    4.4 (aj8)

    It does not need pollution devices as, in the Brit manner, it simply very politely refuses to pollute.

    Spare Tire ???

    "full size as my spare 255-60 and the 285-60 on the other 4." This creates a significant rotational difference that is not good for AWD. The spare tire will be maybe 1" shorter than the other 3 (I did not use a calculator device), and turning much faster at same speeds. Sensors...

    Automatic Starter - Land Rover third Button config.

    I like the idea, but I would suggest then changing the 3rd button design to a spilling gas can image to reflect the actual effect . . .

    any detailed instructions for changing oil & filter

    There's some funny stuff in there during my quick glance. His "un-elected president" really turned out to do some good work for us, too. Thanks to the "Supremes" and to the electorate for the second four years that sealed our current fate. Mission accomplished!! (Take that, RonLR3!)

    LR3 questions

    I'm starting to think you're my brother-in-law in disguise. That is hilarious. Funnier still is that the brother-in-law guy now professes to covet a Rubicon. I bet that vehicle handles those country curves really well and is a fine, comfortable and quiet daily cruiser for his 35,000...

    technical differences between discovery 3 & LR3

    You have a good sense of humor, gtc. I like this board. CoMc also makes the same point that applies to so many silly names in this market, like all those alpha Caddys and Lincolns of no useful name differentiation, Acura's conversion a few years back, and so on. Kind of interesting that the...

    turning off daytime bi-xenons / on board computer ecu

    Dealer should hook up car to computer with each service. If so, this is only a matter of a few extra keystrokes. If no other hook up, then it's a special service for them. So, I advise that you just see if they'll change it (since you never knew it could be otherwise) during your next visit...

    any detailed instructions for changing oil & filter

    Hardly. Good synth goes 10,000 in average conditions with a good filter. Sample and have your oil tested sometimes and you'll see. For dino oil, even, 5000 is fine. Break in oil - I'm also old fashioned and would change it early (even at 1000) if I planned to keep a brand new car as long...

    technical differences between discovery 3 & LR3

    gtc gets it, and while I respect Houm and the many useful contributions you make here (really!), LR can't just sell to enthusiasts and stay in business. Enthusiasts like us are a true minority (and I am not like you, we're never going to wheel ours, but we are passionate about our family...

    LR3 questions

    I think you know one thing, but you are turning it into something else and don't know much about car retailing. LR won't let a dealer flip a loaner, for one thing. Second, a loaner would need to be titled and plated and probably proven as such to the manufacturer's finance company - it can't...

    LR3 Lug Nuts/Self Mounting

    Can't address the lug nut spec, but did you search that term or check the manual? I thought I saw some more than typical specs there. Mounting wheels requires no special training, just a torque wrench. Always in a diamond pattern, tighten just so, then finally torque with the wrench...

    technical differences between discovery 3 & LR3

    "it was only amongst the yuppies and dip$hit reporters who don't know what they're for" Hardly. The Disco series in the US consistently fell to the bottom of quality and reliability surveys. As capable and comfortable as LR products may be, this was true. None of that makes your truck any...

    You're in for the full $1, RonLR3, so don't worry about the dimes at this point.

    any detailed instructions for changing oil & filter

    Isn't the basic service schedule still covered for free over the 4/50000 on the '08? You could do mid-interval changes, but every 3750 is a bit overkill these days with synth oil and a good filter, IMHO.

    technical differences between discovery 3 & LR3

    Brits are more forgiving of their local product quirks, whereas LR mucked up its own image so badly here in the New World that it started over with naming conventions to try and fool us into forgetting about our prior negative associations. Worked for me!

    handling conering

    I bet that your rare Atacama Sand color is both the best handling and the most reliable, and probably very attractive (I can't recall seeing one around here, and I'm in Ford HQ country where they pumped tons of the LR3 onto the roads in '05 and '06). The AW allroad board used to enjoy a running...
