    LR3/4 Injector Cleaning

    Awesome news; I'll put this on my list when its down for the power steering pump/lines! I popped a bunch of lean and then rich codes the first two days after the OTC pressure cleaning and then realized I forgot to clear the memory; I put the GAP on and did what you said and now she is running...

    Rank my shopping list

    X-200 on the LR3 since you want a more utility style adventure wagon. The last non luxury interior LR built in my opinion; pretty basic with everything you need and more upfront cubby space like @Jwestpro states. Well maintained LR3 is going to meet any requirements you need at a far greater...

    Agreed on the quality of overseas diesel and of course NAS diesel has it's own emissions limitations when it comes to what is best for the engine. I won't win the argument with anyone over the HP/TQ/Range aspects just know that my D3 is a full on adventure wagon now and when I'm offload I'm...

    Because I opened this can of worms on myself; I'll take the beating like a man! hahaha :ROFLMAO: Agreed, it'll be hard to find a used one with the options wanted/needed but possible if someone's wife orders a utility spec one like I want! Agreed, when they put the diesel option in! Right...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I have no problem paying the $50k range for an SUV and taking it offroad! But to get into one that is being branded as an Off-road legend and expend ludicrous sales from off-road enthusiasts who are not in the price-range or anywhere near $70k is just poor marketing. Like I said, I think they...

    If you want the underpowered, non-diesel option it's $55k base with off-road; put the real engine in it that you will surely need for an adventure rig and your price is now $70k. Aussies can get a 8 cylinder Turbo Diesel BRAND NEW LC Troopy BASE Model for $55k; low range gearbox and locked all...

    Nailed it........you want a defender with any decent engine and potentially a diesel in the future; $62k right out of the gate, on the BASE model....lol

    LR3/4 Injector Cleaning

    I ran 2 x cans of the OTC through my injectors and the difference is significant; I'm off to Hawaii for the week and when I get back I will run the BK44 through it as well. I ordered the pressurized nozzle for intake cleaning too so hope to get some of the carbon off the valves and pistons and...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I would like to get my hands on a first year but the more I think about it, the likelihood is that second and third year will be better vehicles with potentially more options and might settle the price tag down a tad on a commercial-ish model in the US. I still believe the price tag is going to...

    LR3 coil spring conversion... Technical advice needed before I go insane

    @Ray_G Great info on the spring rates; do you happen to have travel lengths from stop to stop on the front and rear shock/strut. I'm looking for full travel and overall length fully compressed (out of the vehicle) and fully extended (out of the vehicle) if you have this info? Cheers and Semper...

    LR3 Differential Backlash?

    Can't help you Amigo, but I would love to see you do a detailed log on this page right here so when I'm ready to do mine, I know where to go! lol

    LR3/4 Injector Cleaning

    Sweet......I have the OTC stuff and I'll run it through and see what I get. I have some BK44 on the way as well. Figure I'm going to start doing this more regular as one cleaning probably won't do the trick after all these miles...lol

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Very true, maybe I came off incorrectly; I'm not saying they are designing to take our money, I'm saying they are design/building around fit, form, and function and first priority comes from LR and Fleet Maintenance considerations and not the average Joe/Jance in his/her garage! However...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    95% of vehicles built from almost every manufacturer are designed for "cab-off" maintenance! WE can't do it of course, but LR dealership can probably pull the body up on the lift to expose the engine from the bottom in about two-hours; they then charge YOU, the customer, 10 hours of labor and...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, you can't get the commercial with a diesel, low-range GB, or lockers in the D5 correct?

    LR3/4 Injector Cleaning

    I bought a pressurized canister for my fuel system and intake cleaning; what is everyone recommending for professional grade service of my fuel injectors; it's been about 40k miles since I did it and the last time was at the stealership which Victory will never see the inside bay doors of again...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Looks pretty legit to me! If I can get lockers all around and a diesel in a "Commercial Version" to save some money on all the bling ******** I don't want; I'll surely be ordering one!

    Back in a Rover again, mild LR3 build

    ASFIR and Devon 4x4 make full sets if I remember correctly. Aluminum but you're gonna pay for shipping. Check with Lucky8 cuz I think they sell both. If you need steel, you're probably in the wrong place IMO.
