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

    My diff sounds like a General Electric TurboFan on climb out and is sure to grenade sometime down the road; at which time I will install ARB lockers. 60k+ miles on my LR3 and I would say a few thousand miles off-road since I owned it an only one time did I need a locker and I was able to get...

    2006 LR3 traction control engaging around corners

    In my experience it is not your wheels as I have had this same issue a few times in the past on factory setup; generally it is related to roll angles and steering angles that trip your ABS in turns at a specific speed. Low tire pressures do the same as the scrub changes the wheel speed and the...

    Heed his warning about the Ingenium engines!

    Good answer; I was hoping that was going to be the case. I am an engineer also and we do oil samples on our aviation engines and gearboxes all the time so it is worth the cost and assists in overall health management. I will admit, it's never really been an issue in my automotive experience...

    Heed his warning about the Ingenium engines!

    Agreed to some degree; but I'll ask why are you doing oil reports and who's paying for them if there is nothing to worry about? I asked my buddy who has a brand new Cummins; actually has two in the household and he doesn't do any oil reports and he has 100k warranties on both engines and...

    Defender first impressions

    Full underbody aluminum protection with sliders would be first out of anything. I'd take a hidden winch for a real solid rear bumper with swing out and accessory carrying options on the back over new front full bumper if I had to choose.

    Heed his warning about the Ingenium engines!

    yep, that's enough to right off an Ingenium engine in my book! Average of all 14 pages of those threads is critical engine wear already showing at 10k mileage; I could be off a little bit but see lots of 8500-12000 miles range on those posts so I just split it. If this stuff is accurate, there...

    Defender first impressions

    Thanks for the post Lucky8; I personally would like to see this thread stay for those who actually have "first impressions" when they HAVE/HAD hands on like the few of you have. Then, as people get their deliveries or test drives in; they too can post "first impressions from first hand...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    The ONLY way JLR will get Defender numbers to the fraction of Wrangler is by offering a "Plain Jane" stripped down utility version with minimum bells and whistles at a $40k price tag. It would take years of reliable operation on the road AND trails to get that line to move upward to a...

    I always thought the evoque and sport were temp and gonna be on the chopping block. Maybe they will start to downsize their fleet of like vehicles; similar to what Ford did!

    Heed his warning about the Ingenium engines!

    Easy for a manufacturer to blame the government strife for their Internal problems. Sure, there is a contributing factor but market strategy and business planning is that of the company and not the government; at least in a free society. JLR had problems well before Brexit like GM, Chrysler...

    Heed his warning about the Ingenium engines!

    Disappointing to say the least; I only take the actual JLR documents for face value as they are admitting to ******** commitments as we can't confirm anything else but.....sounds about right; its how I got Ford to buy back my brand new 2013 Explorer. They will sort it out like everyone else does...

    yeah I’m not opposed to decent offers. If not I’ll turn it into a garage seat. Lol. I’ve seen peeps in the past wanting them but think more people see the benefit of the utility side now without them I couldn’t believe how heavy it was to be honest; back in my thread the exact weight is in...

    great video of the LR event here but honestly my LR3 spends a lot of time in the dunes and it's an 08 with no issues.

    @Ray_G what size solar panels you have on the roof? I'm looking for a few small ones that perform well for a few other projects.

    New Defender News

    great explanation @DieselRanger The OBDii comment was more of a passive collector meaning they have ways of pulling the info off the car post activity and use that data but it has to be a direct download. All that other stuff is spot on and although we (US) have constitutional laws; nobody...
