    Lr3 or Disco I?

    The LR3 is bigger so you are not quite so up close to the Windows and it is ever so slightly more curvy so the corners/front are not quite where the view drops off. The LR3 is not bad, it's just the D1/2 is exceptional for visibility. My granddaughter also prefers the D2 over anything else...

    Lr3 or Disco I?

    It depends... I have a 175K '04 D2, a 150k '06 7 Seat V6 LR3, and an 130k '06 5 seat V8 LR3. Without hesitation the V8 LR3 is my daily driver. The 7 Seat LR3 is my load carrier (seats all fold flat in the 7 seat). If the weather is bad and I want to feel invincible I take the D2. The LR3s are...

    2012 fault lights!!!!

    My 2006 LR3 started throwing HDC, Suspension, and Transmission faults. Also the steering would get heavy. Replaced the brake switch, cleaned all the connectors etc. myself to no avail. Took it to my local independent LR workshop who then started switching out Steering pump, steering rack, ECU's...

    Land Rover shop near Emmetsburg, Iowa

    Can anyone recommend/suggest an independent Land Rover workshop near Emmetsburg, Iowa? A friend of mine lives there and is thinking of making the switch to either an LR3 or LR4 but is worried about finding anyone that can work on it. Thanks.

    Living up to its unreliable history

    It's all down to do you want the 'hot blonde that can fight like a navy seal' or the boring Chevy Suburban. The hot blonde probably needs more attention but its worth it :) My two unmodified Land Rovers were the only vehicles that made it out of my subdivision when the flooding started after...

    Land Rovers Suck!! Hear me out!

    I feel for you Matt I really do. I currently own 3 Land Rovers (a D2 and 2 LR3's). Mileage between 130K and 165K. Altogether I've owned 6 Land Rovers and none has ever left me at the side of the road but they each have 'quirks'. I do have to wonder if the cylinder damage occurred because your...

    Simple Light-bar Mount on 2004 Discovery II

    I've been wanting to add a light bar to my disco for some time , especially since having to drive the flooded streets after Harvey in the dark. I found a simple solution if you have the later Disco II with the fat roof bars. These are 2 1/2 inch diameter. I purchased some 2 1/2 inch saddle...

    ROOF RACK CROSS BARS

    I have purchased two sets of cheap crossbars on eBay (2 LR3s). These are $79. https://www.ebay.com/itm/263234148636?ul_noapp=true They are perfect for occasionally carrying a ladder, mattress, or Christmas tree. They fit into the slots just like the $400 Land rover OEM part.

    Escaping the flooding after Hurricane Harvey

    I did change the fluids (or at least tried). I lost my garage and tools so I took them both to a Jiffy Lube outside of the flooded area. After the LR3 started to rumble at the front as few weeks ago I took it to a Land Rover shop and they found the front diff oil had not been changed and it...

    Escaping the flooding after Hurricane Harvey

    Our single story home is the closest residential property to the Barker dam in Houston. The dam was close to failing after the hurricane so the USACE opened the gates to release 13,000 gallons per second into the already flooded bayou by our home. The water rose quickly and started flowing...

    2011 - 2017 LR4 - My Experiences

    Great comparison of the hot blonde and a rover! My '06 LR3 has 125K miles and my '04 DII has 155k miles. They originally mine and the wife's respectively but she insisted we switch because the DII steering lock is worn and now requires a 'knack' to unlock. The DII was beat up when I bought it...

    Customer Settings

    I have a base model 2006 V6 LR3. This doesn't have the audio controls on the steering wheel. Pressing the Trip Computer button on the left hand multifunction stalk does not take me into customer settings (it just scrolls through the odometer, avg speed, avg mpg etc.). Does anyone know if I can...

    My first US Land Rover

    I moved to the US about 10 years ago and have finally purchased my first Land Rover (2006 LR3/Disco 3) here. I owned a variety of Land Rovers back in the UK including a 'Classic' Ranger Rover (before they became 'classic'), a Freelander Sport (the rear windows kept falling out/exploding), and a...
