Duratrac's are a great tyre. I've had a set of 255/55/19 on my D3 for 16 months and 20k now. A mate has them on his D3 and between us, we have driven on pretty much every off road surface Scotland can offer. They find good grip in snow and icy conditions, they are M+S rated and mine have the...

I have a glass roof, my boss has a Uk S spec which has no sun roofs at all. The car is so much darker inside with the lack of sunroofs and imho, not as nice a place to sit. Although part of that is the car was 2 spec levels lower and had the poorer seats etc. There are a few members in the UK...

The LR ones will be marked down to avoid legal claims if someone pushed it too far with either a load or aggressive cornering and puts it shiny side down. I'll have one on my D3 one day. For the looks and a place to fit spot lights on. :)

I made the comment about them floating as there are a few posts on Disco3 and a couple of youtube video's of the aftermath of D3's driving into what looked like shallow waters, only to be swept away and written off. Standing water, i've been bonnet height but kept moving. For water with a...

I think the pipe work inside the wing for the RAI isn't totally sealed so you will need to seal that off. Maybe buy a replacement air hose and seal it up. There is a drain hole at the base of the RAI, some fit a one way water valve to it. There can be some slots down the rear of the RAI that...

The RAI is indeed not water proof, it's more a high level air intake for dusty conditions. You CAN make them more water resistant but it's a pig of a job

Boot latch is very common. http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic99648.html?highlight=Boot+latch How to replace and fix. The sensor is also an easy fix, fit new sensor and check the codes to make sure it's sorted. Go back a few pages and look for the buyers guide i made up and check the car over...

There was a contributer to LRM magazine who bought a D2 with similar chassis rot. ( getting VERY common here in the UK now! ) He got the first glavanised one from Richards Chassis and did a write up of what's involved. They changed the chassis over a long working weekend. Richard's chassis is...

Alfie and I have differing opinions over who gets to ride in the front...

How do you find the Rods for daily driving? I'm thinking of sticking a set on my D3 but as i do 15k a year of on road driving i don't want to ruin the on road driving for a small gain. Going halfs on a multi Vin IID tool with a D3 owning mate so will have that side covered but looking at a...

See, that's the thing. I got a 4 wheel alignment when i changed the front lower wishbones. I got a 2nd later in the year. I got a 3rd when i changed the rest of the wishbones so it's always had an alignment done every time it's had work done. They are still wearing terribly. Ah well. Shall...

I will be one of those getting 25k from a set. Not what i expected from what is about $1600 of tyres.. However, they have been so good, i'll be buying another set and hoping those last longer. Thankfully the price has come down since i bought mine. Funnily enough, a mate with 18 inch GG AT...

I really like the duratracs, they have been superb for my needs and really suit the car. Wear rate can be hit or miss, I know one D3 driver who has wear rate of 5,000 miles a mm. My wear rate seems to be 2-2,500 miles a mm. Which is kinda annoying as I'll need to bin mine this summer but he...

Agreed, which is why I make a point of following them in their defenders etc, there are only a few places I've not went purely as I don't want to badly destroy the paintwork etc on it. It is remarkable how broad the range of abilities a modern Rover has, great towing ability, a true 7 seater...

Never heard of rear diffs going, the fronts can though. Things to check if you haven't already. Front lower arms. Front arb bushes. Rear arb bushes. Rear upper arms. Rear hub bushes, top and bottom. Lower steering column. Rear propshaft support bearing. The diffs hold 0.6 litres in the front...

Exploring some lovely and tricky lanes with my mates, they took Defender 300tdi 90 CSW's up, i went up in a touch more comfort... haha. Out to prove that, anything they can do, i can do as well. :) But they can't sit at 70 with the cruise on for the way home...

Also you will need to check the arb bushes and the rear upper wishbone bushes, plus rear hub bushes. All will likely need changed by 100k. Also check the rear brake lines as they rust and need replaced with copper pipe. Autobox will need an oil change at 100k. Wheel bearings will likely need...

http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic105526.html Didn't stop one couple take a manual diesel D3 around the world. Personally an auto would have been my choice but it's doable, with more and more people understanding the D3 and tr systems along with mobile tools to talk to the car and help sort...

I have Duratrac's on 19s. I have used them on all terrains bar sand, no issues but i have tore the sidewall on a rock, which couldn't be fixed. I have found as they wear, the deep mud ability does go down a bit, but nothing terrible. They have proved great in the snow, on wet roads. The road...

They can only go on one way. They have end caps for the bodyshell behind the rear doors so the left side can't fit the right and vice verca. Strange as i unbolted a set of LR side steps to fit them. The side steps were "well used" in off road situations and bore a couple ( loads lol ) of marks...
