That's some wise sig-line material right there. Tippy DOES suck! The worst off-road feeling for me. I'm usually in more technical terrain than the OP says he intends to use the LR3 for, so I've avoided racks thus far (despite their cool looks). My d2 is probably going to be fitted with one...

Problem with the discovery sport is the drivetrain is FWD based....the engine is transverse. I'm not sure the turbo diesel will fit (assuming the Jag sedan is RWD (Jag has released anemic FWD sedans under Ford's ownership, I would hope they wouldn't go back!). So the question is if this new...

My ZJ Grand Cherokee did this. Then it started to pop semi-quietly (binding) on slow turns (like into a parking lot). Then a loud bangs before we finally caught it. So you can wait until it makes MORE noise, but I wouldn't want it to fail on I15 (assuming you are on the Wasatch front). My ZJ...

Jwestpro is absolutely 100% correct. If the performance parameter is carving mountain roads, 20mm below stock will be much safer and offer greater performance than 62mm above stock. And a Miata would be even safer than an LR3. The biggest (and most dangerous failure) I have seen on ANY...

Does anyone use HDC? It seems so gimmicky and at least on my D2, not smooth at all. When we test drove LR4/RRS/L322s last year, the dealer was all about the HDC on the Rover "test" course, and even then I wasn't that impressed that I couldn't do with my own feet. Is there a reason to use HDC...

Are you registered on Landroverforums.com? It seems to be the most trafficked D2 mechanical forum. Guys on there will have dealt with various CPS issues and will help you out, that is where I"ve done all of my CPS research. I have a mind to buy a sensor, cut out my fender well, and mod some...

I have not dealt with the CPS yet *knock on all the wood within 50 miles*, but what usually kills them is water ingress. This almost sounds like a bad connection, like the wire harness was damaged when installing the CPS. Or maybe you got a bad CPS out the box? My dad got two bad...

3.73 is all that is available on the duramax. I highly recommend the 4.10 and 3500HD. I own a 2011 2500HD 6.0L (possibly one of the best GM blocks ever made) and my biggest regrets are going 3/4 ton and keeping the 3.73 (also I'd prefer a long-bed, but the truck isn't my overlander)...

For me, being able to mount 18"s is far more important than having a motor that will sell more when I'm ready to get rid of it. However, if I truly had that kind of money, I'd deck out a nice L322 for $20k and invest the remaining $90k for preventative maintenance, travel costs, and eventually...

I aired down to 30psi on my 16" Disco 2 31.5's and it worked very well in Moab. It made a huge difference in traction vs. 35psi. 25 would have been better, but we were on Elephant Hill in canyonlands and I didn't want to drive out on the highway at 25psi for a long time. I can't fathom an...

Get an Ultraguage! my d2 would hit 220f on moderate highway hills and the temp. Gauge would still be in the center! I had s clogged T-stat, replaced it with a TD5 thermostat and now rarely hit 200f in low range in triple digit Utah Desert heat! The most important thing you can do to the disco...

I would think so, mainly because of the crawl ratio. Does it REALLY have smaller calipers? I know that there is some concern that 18" LR3 and even compautomotives won't clear the brakes on a non-supercharged MKIII post 2010(11?) update. I was in an email conversation with Compautomotive and...

Lol! I used to average 5-over when I had my 540i, now that I have my D2, I average 5 under. In Utah, we have freeway stretches with posted 80mp. The D2 only sees 70, maybe 75. In my sedan, the cruise was locked at 88mph (and the auto-bahn cruiser was begging for more), but not the...

You have a great eye for composition and/or post processing. I've been focusing more lately on video, your shots make me want to leave the XHA1 more in the truck and bring out the D800 a little more! I've also tried to convince my wife to try the roof-top tent/off-road trailer combo, but I...

The 10% rule of thumb really sucks in the states. The Range Rover MKIII (and I think LR4) has a 7700lb towing capacity, but a tongue weight rating of around 550lbs. You could easily get a Euro-caravan in the 7k range with a 500lb tongue if they center the axles right. Try finding one like...

Awesome! I'm so jealous you can buy a new one! I was out off-roading the other day in the Utah mountains and actually passed a D110 on the pavement. You'd have thought I saw bigfoot. My wife's and my neck whipped back as it passed as she said "What's that!?" It was the first time we had...

Your solenoid can fail, and probably is your issue. Some people remove it, but I was worried about the potential for water ingress, so instead of removing it, I took a dremmel to the plunger and cut it off flush and re installed it. Your going to have to open up the tranny tunnel again to get...

I'm not sure about the LR3, but my research indicated 32" could fit on a 2" lifted LR4/L322, but you would be immobilized in the event of an air-spring failure. 31.5's should run on the bump stops. Once you start accounting for the cost of carrying air-springs as spares, the modern rover's...

I'm a die-hard solid axle guy, but due to my wife's back we started looking into LR4s and RR L322s. I went to the $tealership because they actually have an off-road course (I didn't care about freeway driving so much). This much is certain, the L322 has superior "technology" right out of the...

I was going to say the greasable front drive-shaft; however, the failure is that the cat converters are so close to driveshaft they cook the lifetime grease and the bearing fails due to lack of lubrication. This is because the V8 has two mini-cats tucked right up next to the front drive shaft...
