    05 Disco...I mean LR3

    I don't think anyone should try to mount a spare on a genuine bracket on the door of a lr3. The door was not built for it and I'm sure it will fall off. A swing away tire carrier would really be the stuff dreams are made of. Just make sure to safety pin the release for no unexpected spare tire...

    New Homepage?

    It's the only homepage I've ever known here, but I think it's the greatest! LRW.

    Tps

    Hey Jeff, @ what speed do you notice this. I once had a surge @ 50-52 mph, or so I thought, but it was my trans shifting or torque converter doing its job, I can't remember which........ LRW.

    05 Disco...I mean LR3

    Yes, Melissa, Missouri, USA. When I registered on this forum, the system must have went a little "LUCAS" for a moment, because I selected US & it gave me UK. I did get in to correct it last week, though. And yes, MO is the "Fun Place" for scores of thousands of people every year! But most of...

    05 Disco...I mean LR3

    Well Hello, RoverChic! I didn't see your post up there! I think you are on the right track, I mean you can build a dependable Rover w/correct parts and attention to detail and lots of anti-sieze & dielectric grease. And zip ties, of course! But I notice you carry spares as though you were going...

    05 Disco...I mean LR3

    Why yes, I am just finishing a cup of the free "Genuine Land Rover" coffee that came w/cup that my wife got me! I'm looking for a Lucas Genuine coffee pot so that I can make my morning coffee just as exciting as my ride! Will the lr3 be available w/power retracting running boards, like some of...

    05 Disco...I mean LR3

    I really don't mean to be an *ss, but isn't the LR3 a 113" wb? Can't anyone see that is an explorer? Going over 101.5" wb is just too much for me! And it's ugly! Does it have a low range? You buy one & bring it & that full-size WTF pick-up someone else mentioned on over here to missouri, follow...

    LR Keys made from Stainless Steel

    That's the one! But in my neck of the woods, we rarely lock our cars. My wifes Rover came from Texas & it was programmed to auto-lock after 2 minutes of exit when motor was off. Frustrating, so we had local boy @ epic audio reprogram & install remote start. I have very few & rare problems now...

    High milage oil?

    Thanks, Andy! and keep us posted. I'm obsessive-compulsive about motor oil, gear oil, grease, and even spray lube for that matter. I have used Valvoline for years now, having switched from Castrol after 2 engine failures. (1 oil pump,1 thrust bearing) I realise all engines will wear out, but I...

    $400 Brake Light Change

    Hello all! Melissa-nice access panel photo! Serg-You are correct-all jiffy lubes, fast lubes, speedee lubes, etc suck! I have seen 1 Valvoline Fas-Lube that was a great oil change station, but that is a rarity. And I still don't know if I would take them my Landy. I've heard that the AC Delco...

    LR Keys made from Stainless Steel

    I have seen those keys w/remote fob built in @ my favorite used car dealer. They handed me 3 different sets to try to open the door on an 02 Freelander. The Lander's battery was run down & would not unlock its doors. I unlocked it w/ key but it wouldn't start. Weak battery. But I did notice...

    $400 Brake Light Change

    Is anyone going to tell him about the access hatch under the rear carpet, or just let him find it when he removes the tank! Yee Haw! LRW.

    PIAA Windshield Wiper FYI

    Thanks, Sergei. I have bought floor mats from weathertech for years, but was again clueless to the rest of the products that they offer. I have a fairly rough windshield in the Rover now due to the third world conditions of the roads in missouri, but it will be replaced soon w/upcoming M.V.I...

    $400 Brake Light Change

    High milage oil?

    I use Valvoline 10/40 stabilised w/Lucas, but I'm considering the "Rotella" factor. It has been used in both our gas & diesel service trucks for years now, but they are all junk fords. (I'm not just knocking fords again, our service trucks are true salvage. The company buys them that way) Does...

    PIAA Windshield Wiper FYI

    Hey Justin, where does one find these PIAA blades? Living in missouri we only see new technolgy in pictures. I'm clueless! Thank You! LRW.

    $400 Brake Light Change

    I bought a mean green from 4x4 connection for less $$ than genuine replacement. I do have to agree w/Joey though, sounds like a fuel pump/system issue. When my pump went south it did similiar things, dieing then running weak. New pump & filter & going strong. Discount Rovers is a great place for...

    And Bing goes the light

    When I was younger I was a pub crawl triathalete, but have never heard of a "DRIVE CYCLE LEAK". Could that be a canadian Rover dealers way of saying:"We have no clue as to what the problem is, or how to fix it, but we really need to try to screw You & also the warranty co. if at all possible. My...

    New 2004 Disco SE

    Welcome Eric, congrats. As always, Andy & Mike are correct. I miss those bone stock Rover rides, forever amazed @ what my wife's Rover could do! And the ride then was so plush, you could drive all day & never get weary. It has become more capable w/mods over time, but I'm glad I had a stock...

    Questions about buying.

    I tried to test drive a Freelander 2 weeks ago @ my favorite used car lot, but it had a dead battery? and wouldn't start. Oh well, it was real cute, but I don't think it could ever do the job of the Discovery. I heard they are peppy to drive & just wanted to see for myself. Maybe next time. LRW.

    Questions about buying.

    Welcome Jon, to the wonderful world of Rovers, Andy and Justin are right on descriptions and such, there are so many things to look @ w/each Rover. I prefer the D1 for several reasons, that I'll not go into, but just check well the ones you like and start bidding/buying from there. The people in...

    Thinking of purchasing a discovery couple of questions

    Hey Brad, if the dealer is a jerk then you may be able to really have some fun w/him! My favorite used car dealer is also a "jerk", (well actually he is an *ssh*l*) but I didn't want to use that language on such a "Ladies & Gentlemans" forum. Anyway, jerks are the funniest & I believe, easiest...

    Just bought an obd2 reader...have questions.

    Hey Jeff! I'm not familiar w/that software at all, but I do use obd2.com from time to time. I have a Kal Equip scanner from napa.(about $240.00, I think) to read & clear codes. Keep a notebook of date & info for later comparision. The Kal unit also allows running diagnostics & freeze frame data...

    Grinding noise @ takeoff??

    D2, correct? My son says D2's don't have rotoflex. No need to check that. LRW.
