I bought mine at 98k, with the idea to long term ownership. It needed front lower's when i bought it. Known wear point and hardly a deal breaker when the rest of the car was good. It had an alternator and front wheel bearings done for me by previous owner. Wheel bearings again are known and can...

Went a drive on Friday to Glen Etive, or the film Skyfall location where Bond and M are gazing down a misty Glen with the DB5 nearby.

I would like to drive it back out of S.A and head round east in it. I've a book from LR about the 1,000,000th Disco and it's overland trip, i fancy seeing a few of the sites they passed through and see Nepal as well. Also to drive part of the Silk trail. I've build up a list of countries i wish...

That owner is me. Popping in with a cheeky tongue in cheek comment about the hardship of driving a comfy car, when my mates are suffering cold draughts, poor radio's etc. Haha.

Small can of worms with the Defenders vs Disco's... Good to see that arguement exists on both sides of the pond and it's not just over here they like to lock horns. I'll firstly thank everyone for the various responses. :) Now to address a few things brought up. I have no reservations with...

Got a few overland books for Christmas that were land Rover related, first overland and the impossible takes a little longer, so went looking for another one and found "Overland Handbook" it has a few of the Admin/writer's in it and it's got me thinking. The book says that the D3/4 etc platform...

I must be the opposite then Roverandom. Colour and trim was right at the top of my list.. :D If it didn't have black interior and was HSE spec. I wasn't interested. I usually keep my car's for 3 years or so, the D3 is for life. I wasn't going to spend the life of the car looking at the wrong...

I really like that idea. It's simple yet effective like all the best ideas are. How long before you use it in anger? Don't think i can get a hidden mount with the larger intercooler i have fitted. :(

To echo other points. They are great cars to own, but can be hard work at times with wanting some love and attention. For that, there are really 2 ways. 1. Pick at it, as each issue comes up. 2. Gut all known weak points in one kit and start afresh. I did point 2, on mine at 117k and 9 years...

Thank you for that. Wasn't sure, as the general feeling here is to get the 8 speed if you are debating between the 2 of them. OP, the fact you have the wife fully on board with the idea is a good one. Enjoy the car, it should meet your needs very well.

Do they have the 6 and 8 speed gearboxes for the petrols? The 12 diesels changed from the 6 speed to the 8 speed with better performance, improved mpg and lower emissions. A 12 sits in a lower road tax bracket than an 11 does over here, even though they are the same engine. What's the colour...

That may be true but if successful the LR4 should get the 3.0 V6 diesel we get here, it has 255bhp and does mid 30s to a real gallon of fuel. The best thing i've heard from people who had petrol RR's and changed to the diesel ones is the far larger range to a tank, without losing much of the...

This guide should help you if you doing it on the driveway. I had access to a mates 2 poster ramp for doing it, was done in under 10 mins for front and rear. It may be an option worth considering, i know i can hire out a garage ramp for £20 an hour if needed. Does something similar exist where...

Best thing is to pull the battery at night. The car will try and self level to keep the alarm happy, so when one corner starts to drop it corrects itself. Disconnecting the battery stops it doing that, so you will find one corner has sunk, 3 are still up. If it sinks at the front only, it's...

I read the full thread and missed the part on page 2.... Oops. Haha. They look really good, shame no one makes them any more. All the UK ones don't go to the frame rails and cover all the sides. I have terrafirma ones and they don't protect the front wing areas. Have lost the lower trim piece...

Who makes the sliders you have fitted? They go all the way along the side of the car, most others i can find stop at the front door edge and leave the wing unprotected.

Did you buy her the RR to say sorry for the hood cover row? ;) Looks very nice, not usually a fan of green but your's does look very nice. How do you like the LED bar, i checked the spec's and we both have the same output from them? I find mine to be superb for night driving, also have no...

The issue i had was ZF, the gearbox maker say that it should get changed at 75k, or 50k if you do lots of towing. LR say it's lifetime, ( or till the warrenty expires.... ) so who do you listen to? The maker of the car, or the maker of the gearbox? This was the colour of the oil from my box at...

Findly, I KNEW i had seen your LR4 somewhere before. ( commented on your fb post in a group a few days ago, asking about your rear bumper. )

Exploring in the snow.
