    Lucky8’s Project Discovery 3

    YES. Very interested to see how you handled clearance issues with 33x12.5s on the front fender flares and the rear pinch welds. Also curious why you switched to compmotives instead of keeping the 17" steelies you developed. Thanks!

    Smitten by Land Rover, Heart says yes Brain...ehhhhh

    True, I probably should've given it a shot. I just didn't want to risk getting stuck part way through the job and having no options and a blocked driveway! ;)

    Smitten by Land Rover, Heart says yes Brain...ehhhhh

    The air suspension is not a money pit, just plan on replacing the compressor if you get an 05-07 LR3 with the ****ty Mitsubishi compressor. Once you replace it with the AMK brand, you'll be fine. It's an easy job to do yourself if you have any amount of wrenching skill. Cost is about $600. The...

    LR3 front brakes aftermarket choices

    You have to remember that the LR engineers were not motivated to make a vehicle stop the shortest. They were motivated to make a vehicle exceed safety requirements by an acceptable margin while keeping costs down. The aftermarket does not have these constraints, they can sell you the best...

    LR3 front brakes aftermarket choices

    Can the Range rover sport Brembo calipers and rotors be fitted to an LR3/4 without extra adapters/shims/carriers? (Assuming you have 19"+ wheels of course).

    LR3 key issue

    FYI, I used the PDF from Rok MARIN on the disco3.co.uk boards to get this done.

    LR3 key issue

    No. The key works perfectly after replacing the battery WITHOUT any extra steps to pair or re-program. Now both the 10+ year old keys for my LR3 work perfectly, have great range, and look like this:

    Tire sIze

    265-65-18s shouldn't give you any problems. It should fit in the stock spare location without issue and you will not need to move the sensor wire. I run 285-65-18 and can still fit in the spare location (mind you it is fully aired down and needs a lot of dish soap to slide up in there). I also...

    Bajarack help

    I actually have a set of short rails in my garage somewhere from when I did the opposite conversion (short > long). If you are interested PM me.

    Bajarack help

    You are not going to be able to cut your extended rails and have them look nice. I recommend buying the short rails off ebay. You should be able to get a set for <$300. Then I would remove your extended rails and sell them on ebay. You should be able to get >$400 easy. Bam. >$100 profit and you...

    Looks like the tab that rides in the retainer clips in the caliper broke off? What do the pads look like off the vehicle? Seems like a pretty simple fix. New pads.

    LR3 Interior Spare Tire Mount

    You can fit bigger tires underneath. I have 285/65/R18s on my LR3 which are about the size of your 265/70s and I have the full size spare in the stock location... I have to keep it deflated and use a lot of dish soap and swearing to get it slid up in there but it works.

    Land Rover comes through for my RRC LWB

    Haha, The "very special" comment probably means it spent the first year of it's life going through multiple levels of post assembly line repair/rebuild before it would pass Quality Control.

    LR3 key issue

    I just replaced the batteries in both of my LR3 fobs. Unfortunately for you I did not test the key while the battery was removed from the circuit board and I did not wait until they were completely toast before replacing the battery. To replace the batteries you need 3 things: - A replacement...

    Rover Warrior.... LR3 Build engagement pics

    MontyMog, please let us know the part # of that steel pan conversion you got from rsgear. I will need a tranny service soon and this would be such a nice upgrade. Looking forward to the write up. Thanks.

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    I feel sad for that L322. I didn't realize the RRC came with body color D-pillars at one point. They look so much better blacked out for the 'floating roof' effect.

    Wheel advice

    Huh, I guess I got these confused with the OEM 17" wheels that came on some LR3 V6, but after some reading it appears those only came on S models that weren't sold in the US.

    Discovery Sport vs. Grand Cherokee Overland vs. 4Runner TRD

    But again, OP is asking for steak and you're suggesting ground chuck.
