Not to throw a spanner in the works, but many of us UK tdv6 driver's are upgrading to V8 disc's to get better brake performance as many feel they are a bit lacking in bite. The v6/v8 use the same caliper and pads, but have larger disc's and have different caliper carrier's. Many are doing it...

Any benefits for aluminium over the steel versions other than weight? Stronger, cheaper etc. Shall look at Rasta and see what else i can find as well. :)

What do you LR3 guys use for protection? While we don't have the rock sections like Moab in Scotland, we do have sites where to get through my side steps have taken a beating. A lot of the courses are designed more for defenders so the D3s size and wheel base sees it drag the sides and under...

I had no issues with them in -10 and below, this picture was taken at Easter as well... haha. I love Global Warming, it's been bloody freezing so far this year with only 4 days where we can call it summer. The local car was attendant's were less than impressed when i rolled up for them to...

How do you like the sill protection you have? Is it still in good condition or is it rather bent out of shape? Any favoured kit for the engine and transmission guards?

Have you got any under body protection fitted to it? I've seen a few people post up what they have fitted to their LR43/4 and was wondering what you have fitted? Looking to get a full under body protection kit for my D3 and some sliders as i've bent the side steps out of shape more times than...

The plan should it be repairable is to relegate it to spare wheel duty. Quite glad i ordered 5 instead of the original 4 now. Haha. It's going to a professional tyre repairer, not a local place, they repair all sorts of tyres from car and 4x4s to quarry machinery size. What rock slider's do...

The tyre is getting taken to a specialist puncture repair centre, if they can do a vulcanised repair on it then it will be as new. The cut is about 1cm long, like a knife cut right into the sidewall just above the bead line for the join to the alloy. Shall find out in the next week or so if...

http://youtu.be/AAOtZhpq_LU Small video of me going down a muddy hill. Was with the Scottish Land Rover owner's club at a local off road site, Had earlier drove through the muddy section going left and got properly stuck in a clay hole, D3's front and rear bottomed out leaving the centre and...

I like the Evoque. It will never be a Defender rival in serious off road conditions, but it's not designed to do that. You will never treat it in the same way you treat a Defender. It can cope perfectly well with the mud and snow conditions we get here, i saw a couple moving about quite happily...

The defender has never been fitted with air bags, or any side protection. So to get them to pass any real tests would need a total redesign. Add the fact in it's current guise it will never pass up coming EU tests and the huge labour cost to build one and your faced with either redesigning it...

Fine. :p Most, but not all. Better? lol. There are plenty of younger car's that can rust just as well. Ford Ka and early 00 merc's spring to mind. P38's and mk1 freelander's don't tend to suffer badly from it, so if you do see a rusty one. You can pass on it as there will be plenty more...

Landrovers and Labradors, a happy mix.

That boot floor shot is what many UK owner's face. Which is an MOT fail and 9 out of 10 times see's the car scrapped. We put down loads of salt and grit, which does nothing but rust older cars and even newer ones as well. My 04 LR3 has surface rust on it's chassis as well. Will be getting...

Back in the mid 90s, i was on holiday with the parents, in Aberdeen and walking through the car park. Sitting there was a brand new (less than 2 weeks old) 300tdi Disco1. I had never seen one like it before, had a look around it and was staggered at how different it was to my dad's car. I was 7...

The first picture shows me parked to take a "comfort break" behind one of the larger rocks. The G4 Disco makes me green with envy every time i see it. would love one, but at £12k more than what i bought mine for, i shall pass on it. Mot test was passed with no advisories so my car is in fine...

Some gentle off roading yesterday, MOT was due today and i got new front lower arms and steering arms fitted on saturday so was taking it easy. Views out over Loch Lomand, showing the remote nature and beauty of Scotland. Plus, this is what my Disco wants to be when he grows up.. Genuine...

Sorry for thread bump. Quick question about the IID tool at $408, this can play about with the suspension as well as read codes etc? Just wondering what the full capabilities of it are. 2 possible sales later in the year as my mate is flying over in October to the US and if the product suits...

How quickly do they wear? I haven't found the noise to be that bad, i had 2 freeby 1 hardback's prior so im used to a bit of road noise getting in. They have only been introduced here in the last year, so no one has any real experience of them as they age.. this info would be very good as there...

Do they not sell them in the US? If so, that's very strange. I would have thought with the larger off road market, Goodyear would have sold them. They were made in South Africa, my tyre supplier booked his order in November and they were delivered mid January, i had mine fitted on the 29th...
