    Tricking the Air Suspension in a Range?

    Don't. You're defeating the whole purpose of air suspension, which is that you don't have to deal with the downsides of driving around at full height - especially center of gravity for rollover mitigation and general handling. And if you run crap like Johnson rods you're just topping out your...

    New Defender News

    ^ UGH THAT COLOR IS SO GOOD Same. And same experience with all of my other friends who actually own these trucks. I just ignore the internet and enjoy my LR3. Funny story, I spent all of last weekend driving various high end luxury german cars. It wasn't until I got to the BMW 7, Benz S, and...

    LR3/LR4: How to find the coveted rear locking diff

    Manuals don't list what options your vehicle has. You'd have to find a build sheet.

    Defender first impressions

    Thanks for the first impressions! I AM SO HOPEFUL THAT IT ENDS UP BEING GREAT IN PERSON. To drive, that is. Since when do italian cars/motorcycles not meet noise standards? Or are you trying to say the US is the exception... or not a modern country?

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Nothing wrong with that! Each to their own. Like I said, the wrangler is a cool truck, I just don't see myself in one.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Is anyone really cross shopping the wrangler and new Defender? I drove a new Rubicon yesterday and it’s not even close to as refined as my 06 LR3. The wrangler is a cool weird 4x4, but I don’t get why people think it’s being cross shopped with the Defender. I certainly am not. Just hope it’s as...

    LR3 lowering to access mode overnight

    Yes, it was just self-leveling, not lowering. That's normal. It's $23 for the rebuild kit. If the front lowers only, that's all ya need. https://www.britishpartsofutah.com/Range-Rover-Sport-LR3-LR4-Valve-Block-Seal-O-Ring-p/rcrvhk.htm You don't need a new valve block. It's just O rings. How...

    OK can we just get back to talking about things that matter? If you don't like cell phones and their privacy issues just don't have one. Or a new defender. Anyone else notice the Defender is on a new, unpublished tire size? Yep that's a 255/60R20 duatrac. Should be just over 32" and stock. The...

    Really glad that it looks like the simplest solution may fix your problem! Long live the EAS!

    WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see one. Both myself and my woman can't wait to buy one and drive it everywhere you can go without solid axles and EAS** **AKA Everywhere ;)

    Rebuild it. It's plastic. Plastic don't care about salt.

    Nah, just put the right fuse in there once you’re done with your height-drop experiment :)

    Which 275s? With some trimming you may be able to run those. Definitely let us know.

    LR3 lowering to access mode overnight

    A few things. Don't 'lift' the truck. No such thing. You have a button for that. If you trick the sensors you're doing nothing but ruining the droop/bump ratio along with handling issues plus added driveline wear. Once you have a GAP tool you can run an additional ~25mm of lift for off-road...

    Buying a used Discovery in 2020

    Very fair point, but not all of us are running 35s ;) I'm very happy on 31s, but there's just no good 31" options for 19" wheels. There's no weight difference between the LR3 and 4. I also don't run aftermarket bumpers, rack, sliders, etc - thus, very different use case. In your case - you're...

    Buying a used Discovery in 2020

    The spindle on the LR3 supports a brake caliper which is smaller and allows the use of an 18" wheel. It is very difficult to find a proper AT tire in 19", so running LR3 hardware would allow an 18" setup. My local auto parts store actually stocks both LR3 and LR4 caliper brackets, so I could do...

    False. Pull the fuse for the EAS after it airs up, that will isolate where it's leaking from. Take measurements before and after the night. The truck auto levels every 20 minutes while its off, so if one corner leaks, it slowly lowers itself down. Could be as simple as a $10 O ring kit for a...
