With all this talk of LR indicating that it will bring in diesels in next few years, I'd be holding out for that. A diesel LR4 is going to be worth the wait!

To be fare, this new audience is for LRNA, not LR overall. I have been in enough places in this world to know that Defenders, RR's and Disco's are being used the way they were meant to (or at least alot more challenging environments than this trip) in personal and commercial applications. I...

your argument has it's merits!

Also keep in mind, that having grown up in the West, but now living in the East, I can tell you that this story is going to be of interest to all of us in the East, as just getting to something dirt is a challenge in the East. The Eastern seaboard is the land of private property and excessive...

my take on their purpose was to tell people to get off the pavement and get out there exploring this great country. I haven't read the article yet, but I wasn't perceiving that they were pitching this as some enduring trial of man and machine like camel trophy or as mentioned, the canning stock...

It's awesome to hear that they are doing this, and with Tom to boot! Maybe there is hope after all! They can kill time by the campfire pontificating the 2015 Defender in the right setting.

I'll be the first to admit I don't know squat about anything Rover past the D2, so my comments should come with disclaimer of limited knowledge based on comments of others. That said, I'm hearing consistently very good things about the reliability of the LR4, and wouldn't hesitate to own one...

I would think that in almost every case, the moment a sensor failed or a fault occurs, it is most likely that whatever the airbags are at are what was needed. If anything, instead of dropping the suspension to the bumpstops (which offroad is just the same as jettisoning the wheels like the...

I had this discussion with James Brown of NLX when I was in Guatemala with them. NLX runs 10 splines on their both their 200 TDI 110's and have never broke an axle.

Hi Garth!

I have always had, and always will have a hi-lift jack. I would also NEVER use a hi-lift to change a tire unless I was desperate and/or had something to support vehicle after it was lifted. anyone who doesn't get this hasn't ever used their hi-lift for anything. I'm confident of that. At some...

On or off road, or in any situation, ECU's deciding to fully depressurise the suspension when any fault is detected makes no damn sense. It's a clear fault in the program logic diagram at the design, and should have been corrected by now. The #1 fault people refer to anywhere you read about...

UR my kinda people. Nicely played

EXACTLY all this! Also, to comment on Tom's reference to back country travel, all this protective mode crap pisses me off in the designs. LR should have set the default fail safe mode for their current products to full extension and limited the vehicle speed through the ECU if they were...

What the Cherokee's transfer case high range ratio? I couldn't find any specs on high range. Is it 1:1?

thank God. Never go half stupid-never

Understatement of the day! Hurrah Rover! Leading cause of US Customs' recent case of cronic Insomnia.

Over time, the LT230 t-case came in several different 1.2 ratios, a 1.4 and more rarely a 1.6 high range. They all have the same low range of 3.321. Here's a good reference link. http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=45

pre-PUMA 110s were 1.4 tcases. 90's were 1.2. 1.2 is new for 110's

If Land Rover actual imported and sold their diesel variants in the US, they would have a very different reputation. This is primarily a US forum so most here won't be familiar with the modern Rover diesels, but a diesel LR3 sounds like a really good choice. Also, with any brand diesel that...
