    RRC 3 spoke wheels on Disco 2

    I like the look of the old classic 3 spoke RRC wheel, and was gifted a RRC so equipped, was thinking of putting the wheels on my Disco 2. I will apparently need wheel adapters to do this, but I'm wondering if anybody knows if the 16" rims will clear the brake components on the Disco? Also, if...

    How many LR3 were made per day?

    The bride and I have matching 2008 Buckingham Blue HSE LR3's, she liked mine so much we found her one so there are never any discussions concerning who gets the Rover today. The VIN's place them less than a 1,000 units apart, so we were wondering how long it took to produce a thousand LR3's to...

    Suspension fault, not hearing the compressor turn on, jumper the relay?

    Our 2008 LR3 4.4 has recently displayed a suspension fault, normal height only, yellow DSC symbol. Right now it's gone down on the bump stops and the compressor isn't turning on, the dealer told us it was replaced not long before we bought it. I don't have a reader for the EAS system but am...

    Can a 1993 RR be flat towed?

    I've been all over the stupid internet and can't seem to find the answer. There's a 1993 Rangey I've been interested in, this would be a trail toy project. I'd like to be able to flat tow it to the trailheads without having to disconnect driveshafts every time and the weight of a RR and a...

    P0116, P0480, p0483 Fan gone beserk

    I've got some really odd issues with the fan on the brides 08 LR3 with the 4.4. It started out as a P0116 temperature problem, then the cooling fan would engage at full strength and give a code P0483. Now it is giving a P0480 and today the idle speed is way up, past 1100 RPMs, after she turned...

    P2135 curiousities

    The bride's 2008 LR3 developed a P2135, which points to the throttle position sensor AKA gas pedal, so I swapped it from my 08 LR3 and the code follows, OK, butttttttt…. The bride's LR3 has always felt stronger off the line than mine. It's more enjoyable to drive as it reacts to the throttle...

    Battery went dead, anything to watch for settings wise?

    The battery in the brides LR3 went dead from me leaving the key on overnight during a wheel bearing change, she called from work that all of her settings have gone poof! So other than normal user stuff are there any settings or gotchas I need to take care of? The LR3 started and ran fine after...

    Has anyone done a head gasket?

    Google and DDG keep filling my teacup with a Disco 4.0 or 4.6 waterfall, seems hard to find info on this repair-anyways, there is a LR4 available localish for $10K, needs (so the seller says) a head gasket. I am sure this is a wicked bill if you paid a dealer or shop to do it, has anyone here...

    Airbag deployment complications

    With a bonus "Copart" aspect to the question. I've been searching for a D2 or cheap LR3 as I would like to have my own LR3 that I can modify for trails and add some ham radio and other things that the bride has decreed will not happen to our Winston, which is sensible as our LR3 is a really...

    will bad timing chain guides kill the engine?

    Or maybe I should ask how long could a person get away with not changing them once the noise and DTC's start kicking in. I've been searching for an LR4 for the bride, found one at an attractive price, but it needs (according to the listing) timing chains and chain guides. Research tells me that...

    Series IIa to LR3 with a long gap in between

    Good morning to everyone, just found a 2008 LR3 HSE and have put a few hundred miles on it, and feeling like a king driving it. My first Land Rover was a Series IIA 88' petrol, which I owned back in the late 1980's. It was slow, leaked and leaned and came with a hand crank which I used more...
