    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    LOL "notoriously"? No. Notoriously, LOL. Exaggerate much? Sounds like the classic 'knows literally nothing about Land Rovers" question.

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Don't worry, it'll be more of a disappointment than the just released Canon EOS RP.

    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    Yeah, but I had a SC RR, so even the lr4 while nice, didn't really excite me enough to move from the lr3. I had a very good deal ready on a CPO 2013 then decided it just didn't matter enough.

    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    A G63 is a "fast" body on frame suv, and some others are. The lr4 is about as much quicker as the D2 was over the D1 but not as much quicker than the lr3 as the lr3 is over the DII. I drive a lot, and I like to go fast, and also pass but I've realized that if I need my BMW to make a pass, then...

    Putting LR4 Brakes on LR3

    nobody puts rods and bigger tires on then wants to add wheel size limiting stupid lr4 brakes. Just get better brakes... EBC or some other. Do some DD to choose. I put on the SMALLER EBC rotors, slotted, and their pads, maybe green, and the feel and realistic stopping power are basically the...

    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    "lr3 is slow"? Then how'd I get a ticket rolling 83 not paying attention while on a call ? LR3 is "fast" when compared to a Disco II and it seemed sporty compared to my D1 so.... Swapping another lr engine into an lr3 is also dumb. All that work to end up with a boring result. Put a...

    Tire Wear

    wouldn't that be nice

    Tire Wear

    19" or the tires that come stock on lr3/4 will not last 50k. I got so many miles out of the long wearing bfg ta ko and will know in a few yrs how the Michelin MS2 wear. Vehicle weight and driving style in town likely contribute to the equation.

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Tire Wear

    You're welcome! Most people only drive maybe average 10k / yr so they would notice as easily but for several yrs I was doing over 30k so it all became much more apparent then.

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    Atlantic british has a repair video. it's of course a lot easier to be preemptive on it though

    Tire Wear

    Yo Fish. A few things can improve the mileage wear % dramatically and have worked quite well for me. Rotation 4 vs all 5: I like to rotate all 5 tires so that the spare is the same wear. This will ensure there are zero issues about size on an axle if I need to use it for 3000 miles on a trip...

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    The other day the upper hatch button wouldn't cause anything to happen, no sounds, nothing. :/ Used fob to lock and unlock to see if it's a glitch...nope, nothing "F..." ! :( Drive down the road... I hear "clink-uh" The tell tale sound of when you release the hatch just enough to cause...

    FYI - that Audi model is not capitalized.... it's just "allroad" ;) thanks for playing. I'd buy you a beer or coffee without hesitation if we could ever meet up! Sorry it was written condescending, it probably was, though not entirely intentional. You should hear my aunt and uncles go at...

    Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE

    More or less yes but you cannot as easily access that nut with the strut in place. The very easiest thing is to have an IIDtool and use it's function to deflate corners.

    LT 285/65/18 Cooper Discoverer STT pro all terrain

    LOL that detail has been there all along. If you don't use the rods to bring the sensor arms into middle of their happy zone, then you get errors. So adding physical parts that literally add height is ALL semantics to you and it's also the same as a magician tricking you into seeing it...

    Sunroofs don’t open

    I think the potential joke, or unfortunate belittling that occurred, is in the specific "none of the THREE sunroofs open" ..... when only 1 is designed to open in the first place.

    G. The spacers provide 2" more ground clearance than anything possible before simply due to the strut maxing out. Right at that max is a bit much for the CV or possibly lower ball joint but I decided not to use my straps and just be careful. The maker of the spacer and straps can more...

    F. ok the confusing part, height sensor arms, rods, and the upper control arms all relative to strut length, etc. So, I'll start by saying every time I try to say how this goes step by step I get confused or forget what I actually had to do or in what order. I frankly now do not recall what...

    E. IIDtool or other interfaces. I have that one and LLams. Both intervene and push more than what the factory lever allows. Yet, they cannot induce a height really any higher than if you place a block under the sill when in high mode, then lower, which causes the system to freak out, and...

    D. "lift kit" "lifted". I have never heard anyone say a stock factory vehicle is lifted, unless of course it has a factory installed lift kit LOL ;) To say an lr3 is lifted though is to then be comparing it to what, not itself obviously if all of them are already lifted by way of the height...

    C. So, part by part: yes of course, larger tires are a tire 'lift' but nobody ever calls larger tires a 'lift'. Usually to get much bigger tires, the actual lift is required first, like when you see a bigg truck on 37's or a Disco 2 on 35's, they have multiple inch lifts by way of springs and a...

    B. adding material to the vehicle is the lift, not adding material is not a lift. How simple can it be said? This is part semantics on the word 'lift' but it's also super simple in that sense. Ad stuff = lift, don't add stuff ≠ lift. Playing with computer tricking is not adding stuff...
