    I've got the lr expo one, my bar will need to go out front as I'm not cutting the front cowl area as that looks ugly so will hang near the top of the windscreen area. It may glare, it may not.

    Really like the painted bonnet for the LR3. I have a LED light bar on order so i think i'll have to go this route as well.

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    There are a few options for long range tanks.. http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic11274-15.html?highlight=long+range+fuel+tank This one is a few years old, but the tanks have been used to deal with Africa and Australia. Other threads have came up with various people getting tanks made up to...

    Expedition Portal Project: 2008 Range Rover Sport

    I've got lumbar support on it. Tried it in various positions and it's no use. It seems like the ridge that is the issue is designed into the seat. It may also by my ( lack of ) height at 5.8 that's an issue. I know the rrs ones are different but not sure if it has that ridge about 8 inches up...

    Expedition Portal Project: 2008 Range Rover Sport

    Strange questions time. How do you like the seats? For comfort and support? Especially across the lower back. Reason for asking. My LR3 HSE has seats with a line across the lower back, which is the cause of my lower back pains due to it sitting my back out of align. I'm trying to track down a...

    LR3 Spare tire access

    I would love that solution. Having a dog in the back rules out having a rod sticking through the floor. Otherwise i would have one. :( I fear you may have cursed your tyre changes as well now... :p

    LR3 Spare tire access

    Until you've changed a front wheel on a cold, windswept Scottish hillside with the jack sinking 5 inches into the mud before it lifted the car. You haven't changed a tyre. Also, many of us have spare wheel protectors as D3/4 and RRS spares have a nasty habit of being stolen. Which is bad.

    LR3 Questions

    They can cover huge miles with the right care. Simple guide. For 100k, i would expect to change or see proof that they have been done. Autobox oil flush. Should be every 75k really. Make sure it's done! It's cheaper than a new box. Front wheel bearings, it's heavy, they wear out. Simple to...

    Discovery 3 (LR3) and Discovery 4 (LR4) Registry

    My Disco may soon be finding a new owner. :( Have possible job offers in either Halifax or Vancouver Canada, and the car is 5 years too young to take over with me. It's too much money tied up to place in storage as well. So if it goes it will fund a nice V8 HSE LR3 with HD package.

    Expedition Portal Project: 2008 Range Rover Sport

    Bar the compressors and maybe a valve block. The suspension is pretty good. The air bags are protected by metal sleeves so bag tears are rare. The inner shockers can wear out over time, which also happens to coil suspension over time. The rest is wear and tear as a car gets old and the miles...

    LR3 Problems

    What's the spec of the battery? They can get moody if it's a substandard one. Check your alternator as a failing one can still run the car but throw the systems into a frenzy. Also check all bulbs are working, sounds daft but blown bulbs can again throw up funny things. Check behind the...

    LR3 Ownership Update - Eight Weeks

    This thread is like the ones in the UK, only it's Defender's vs Disco's with the ocassional Freelander remark for good luck. :D Now, like that one, the arguement could go round and round for ever and never get a proper answer to satisfy everyone. So, in some cases, the D3/LR3 wins, other's the...

    My "New to Me" LR3

    Disconnect the battery, let it sit overnight. It will sink on the leaking side and that's when you get checking air lines etc. I'm doing this tonight with my own 04 model as it sinks at the front. I would check front lower arms for knocks or clunks. Jack up and support car and give back wheel...

    Discovery 3 (LR3) and Discovery 4 (LR4) Registry

    One stripped down front end. I got new silicone hoses fitted. A rs500 intercooler which is 3x the size of the original. Fitted my winch a bar and spots. I also got the autobox flushed. If you haven't done yours yet, I would recommend it gets done every 75,000 miles or so. Now the car looks...
