    Pre-Purchase inspection - Dealer vs Independent LR Service shop

    I think its honestly a toss up; if you talk to the service folks at the dealer inevitably there will be a tech-or several-there who do the work on the 'old' trucks. Given crossover between LR3, LR4, and some RRS year groups there should be resident expertise there. That said the independent...

    Top 3 things you hate about your LR3 and Top 3 things you like

    Lav- I tried something like that but hated the volume reduction through the aux port. I'm happy with the Kenwood KOS-1000 setup but it was a PITA to install. My complaint was more based off the need for either ad hoc fixes or OE installs-whereas, for example, Coyote has integrated BT, ipod...

    Two-time LR owner seeks third round of torture. What should I get?

    I'd say a Dii is all the bad sides of a D1 (some worse when you think heads and thin frames) with little of the upsides! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Top 3 things you hate about your LR3 and Top 3 things you like

    I dislike -Lack of ability to add in aftermarket radios easily If you didn't get BT, ipod, etc from the start it is a PITA/$$$ to retrofit -Cost of replacement keys. Absurd -Range I love: -Reliability of the 4.4 -Comfort & ability to eat up miles for long haul travel -Interior space...

    LR3: Anyone using 286/60/18 BFG AT KO2?

    KO2's > Terra Grapplers (having had both). By a long shot.

    Two-time LR owner seeks third round of torture. What should I get?

    They do make a coil conversion for the truck; check out my build thread, mine among many has been convereted (its buried deep in there though, so admittedly you may want to look on NAS-ROW for the reader's digest version of my experience). Atlantic British, among others, sells the kits that...

    Two-time LR owner seeks third round of torture. What should I get?

    Beautiful truck DailyJeep, love that color! In terms of the ZF vice R380 (auto, manual trans respectively) the ZF is a very robust unit-& has the benefit of allowing the driver to concentrate on other aspects while wheeling, or being annoying in traffic. The R380 is less robust, true, but also...

    Medical Kit Containers: Bag vs Hard Case

    I would suggest it depends on where it is stored. My med kits are all inside trucks where they don't see the elements frequently, thus soft bags are my choice as they store easier into their place in my trucks. Were I going to be using it a lot or storing it in a place that is exposed, I'd...

    Two-time LR owner seeks third round of torture. What should I get?

    1. 96 and up, many point toward the 99 (yes D1's were made in 99) as the best of the best, particularly if they lack sunroofs. As dlm31 noted with the OBDII comment, I think that tends to age better though a well sorted 94-95 will basically just lend to the same troubleshooting you got to do...

    V6 LR3 wheels on V8 LR3

    Which wheels are you talking about, the 5 spokes here: http://www.originalwheels.com/landrover-wheels/lr32005rims.php? I believe they came with more than just V6, and yes, they should clear your V8 calipers just fine.

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I am more than a little fortunate across a variety of fronts! Anytime you are back stateside, open invite at my place as a lillypad to Rover events or whatever. Hell, I have more than I have drivers-you are welcome to one (of mine...April will have to speak to the S1). The Mid Atlantic Rally...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    1954 Series 1 86" (aka 'Riley') Ok, clearly people have hit a point where they are like "yeah, nice D3 on coils with a cool rack-how about that Series 1 you have?" so it is time to offer some details. The story: This is not my truck. I need to be clear there. It is my wife's truck. I am...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I definitely think the articles would be good; there are a lot more of these popping up on the trails these days and the owners are doing what many Rover owners do (i.e. larger tires, often with rods) that could find them in a bind if they do have a significant system failure in some...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    A few more shots as I am awake waiting for others to also rise so we can break camp. S1 had an inglorious start to her first MAR, reversing off the trailer but then no longer going into gear. Towed it to camp and would eventually sort out the reverse detent being stuck. Wife did quite a...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    I would presume you know far more than I what manner of sorcery makes it so when a brake light bulb goes out a truck that your life could depend on out in the sticks has a 'transmission fault' & Xmas tree of lights, no special programs and goes to the bump stops. Simply put EAS is great, on...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    S1 is a longer story than the phone, more after the weekend. EAS does sit level. Like when it sits level on the bump stops. Bc of a brake light bulb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
