    ? About LR 3 suspension upgrade

    Why not do something like this and pump up the thank with an external compressor as needed? From disco3.uk : http://goo.gl/wRqsbN I think some year (maybe 2009?) LR stopped putting tanks with ports on the front. All you need is a compressor that can fill it to 260psi and the ECU wont ask the...

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    From the looks of mine, it has paid for itself several times over. Never-mind the hassles of extracting a dead vehicle off the trail. The sliders were 5-6X the price, but also worth every penny!

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    Mantec for $570 here: http://lucky8llc.com/Products.aspx?ProductID=2237 Terrafirma for $525 : http://lucky8llc.com/Products.aspx?ProductID=7719 I prefer the Mantec because its lighter (aluminium), wider, and the bolts are recessed flush: Its was also the only option back in 2007, so it was an...

    Lucky8’s Project Discovery 3

    Great install write up! Im seriously considering this, but it looks to be a little more complicated for me. the A-bar bolts to the bumper cross bar you removed. So, the hidden winch needs to have the brackets to bolt the a-bar to. I think some do, but it doesnt look like the Terrafirma...

    Modern Rover's and overlanding.

    Ive driven both D90 and D3 offroad - its apples and oranges. Similar to: Whats better a dirtbike or 4wheeler? Both are great at what they do. Each owner needs to decide what they want or need (or can find here in the states). BOTH exceed my off-road capability needs. I LOVE the Defender's...

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    My 2006 oil pan skid plate still looks good. Maybe in 2013 they switched to cardboard. ;-) I just added the Tactical Rover transmission/transfer case skid plate. Its well built and very reasonably priced piece of insurance. My RS sliders are off for re-powdercoating, so ill have to wait and...

    Lucky8’s Project Discovery 3

    The terrafirma tray, but if not what would work? I know I have seen some hidden winch with aframe on disco3.co, but wasn't sure if it was available in the usa.

    Best way to diagnose LR3 airleak

    Lucky8 was cheapest I found for the front valve block. It wasn't on the site, but email them. sales@lucky8llc.com. you need to pulled the eas fuse or it will wake up every couple hours and drop eventually all the way to the bump stops. When I pulled the fuse it sank most in one corner, but...

    Lucky8’s Project Discovery 3

    Looks fantastic! Would this install still work with a LR non-winch a-frame?

    Best way to diagnose LR3 airleak

    YEAH! Replacing my front valve block fixed my overnight sinking problem! Worse when its cold. Two different LR dealerships could not find the leak and wanted to just replace the $400 air strut (or $800 for the pair). Thank you forum - I owe a bunch of you all a beer. Cheers!

    LR3 285/60-18 versus 265/65-18 MPG

    I run 32.1" (275/65r18) duratrac full-time at regular height. Im on my 2nd set. I did move one height sensor wire and the rear heater hose, but it only took about an hour to do it.

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    The Mantec goes all the way back to the OEM skid. The terrafirma must replace it (unnecessarily).

    Best way to diagnose LR3 airleak

    I have the similar issue with my 06, but I was sinking on the driver/front most. I think any leak will drag the other corners down a little as the weight shifts. So in your case, MAYBE its rear only. I could not find a leak with soapy water. I have heard the bags and the valve blocks can...

    Which Lr3 Sump Guard

    I have had the mantec since 2007 and has proven indestructible. Looks like Lucky8 still sells them: http://www.lucky8llc.com/Products.aspx?ProductID=2237 I powder-coated mine white.

    Great writeup! I just did this same job a couple weeks ago at 105k miles. Same problem - small leak in the housing.

    GAP Diagnostics Too sale

    Id be interested in upgrading too. I was very disappointed when I found it could not do exactly what you described with the GAP EAS, and disappointed again to find that it IS in the IID. This comparison would lead me to think it should be the same:

    Successfully rebuilt my LR3 compressor - third times the charm.

    So, I watched a youtube video and got a crazy idea that I could rebuild my compressor. http://youtu.mbe/zlr0bzLvG-o Im in a predicament with fact the new AMK compressor will not fit easily under my RS-sliders, so I thought Id give rebuilding my Hitachi a try. Ordered the dryer and pump seals...
