    Chines Radiators?

    That is why you can't recore. You can't recore plastic tank rads. One of the stupider ideas in the auto industry...

    Chines Radiators?

    They are crap. Thin tubes and poor soldering. A local recore is the best option.

    The Defender discontinued

    Test mules have been on the road for over a year. It will be a similar drivetrain and suspension as the other current models (people have seen it), most likely with a body that sort of looks like the previous Land Rovers. It will be a completely new vehicle with no connection other than...

    USA Defender Officially Coming?

    At a lower price point they would increase sales volume ten fold making much more profit. Limited vision.

    USA Defender Officially Coming?

    It "should" be built to a lower price point, IMO. Mid 20s base model to high 40s optioned out. It should not be a luxury vehicle. Land Rover has lost its way.

    200 TDi North America Serviceability.

    They are a simple, easy to work on motor. Can you be a little more specific as to what you are concerned about? They are an engine, you change oil filters and belts. Filters are available locally. Other parts from Land Rover parts suppliers.

    I run Duratracs on the 90 year round. Snow traction is quite good. Ice traction is okay. Around the top end of an all season.

    Can I import this Defender 110 into California?

    My understanding is titling a non-EPA diesel in California is currently impossible.

    Tire setup for winter adventure LR3

    If I was getting a dedicated winter only set, I would probably get General Arctic Altimax if they are available in a suitable LT size, with studs, if allowed in your area. This is the best all around (currently available) winter tire that I've used. They are a rebadged Gislaved Nordfrost 5. I...

    land rover new discovery

    http://www.landrover.co.uk/vehicles/new-discovery-sport/specifications.html As far as I can see, gear ratios not shown. You know it has all gone to crap when they won't publish gear ratio data.
