First, thanks Ray. Good data point. In summary a coil sprung LR3/4 will be running at off-road height 100% of the time. Therefore plan for early CV wear and failure.

I recall that the next "Defender" is suppose to be a product line, not a single vehicle. If so I would expect the Discovery / Discovery Sport "line" strategy to carry over to the Defender as multiple products. As it stands now the new Discovery strategic direction feels like the emergence of a...

Jaguar Land Rover NA headquarters is in NJ

From what I understand Land Rover used a coating on the inside of the casing that delaminated. This worked its way into the bearings. Also read that Land Rover recalled those affected vehicles? I can't recall where I read that discussion. If someone could find the TSB you should be able to...

That's a common misperception, that the Ford and Jag V8's are the same. The Jaguar V8 was designed by JLR beginning in 2002. New Jaguar V8 revealed in Detroit 23-Jan-2009 "Jaguar unveiled its all-new direct-injection 5.0-L V8 gasoline engine in supercharged and naturally aspirated forms at the...

ĹOL. Chris was probably talking to me. Agreed two components CAN be less reliable than one. But not always true. The question on the table is can I get equivalent reliability AND increased reserve capacity? Probably. Review the following...

LRNAD90 has some good points. First thanks for the link to the Lifeline batteries. I know this discussion is under a Discovery I but let's extend this to more recent vehicles since readers will do the same. the DI requires less capacity as it has less electronics. The LR3/4 has much greater...

The old DC vs. RF ground concept that many struggle with. The mobile vertical is basically 1/2 a dipole. A monopole. It is up to you to supply the other side of the dipole with vehicle surface or other "planes". I'm working through that now with my LR4 which has a glass top. The glass is...

Hmmmm ....... I guess I must "Overland" to the campsite and then "Offroad" on Colorado technical trails. LOL The reality is that most Wranglers and LR3/4's are for show. You know that by looking at the road biased tires.

Also when on snow and ice, ignore the speed of others and slow down. There are many idiots on the roads who are clueless and driving vehicles not equipped for winter driving.

4WD does NOT allow you to go faster. Only faster to the nearest ditch. Slow down and when you can't hear the tires, be concerned.

D1's are the next FJ40, desirability and cost wise. Just give it time.

Not clear which Jeep vs Land Rover you are comparing (Wrangler, Grand Cherokee? Both?) but most are surprised at how capable the LR3/4/RR's are. - You say fully independent rear suspension but EAS is cross-linked both front and rear, functionally creating a suspension system that is a step...

A review of Jaguar Land Rover quality/reliability is incomplete without a understanding of British nationalisation outcomes. "The lessons of nationalisation BBC BRITISH LEYLAND, 1968/1975 The creation of British Leyland, amalgamating all British car brands in a single company, is one of the...

Except that the body lift was a one-off that a majority could not install in their garage. Hope LR doesn't loose sight of the accessory and 3rd party market in favor of its current design direction.

Keep the pics and details coming as Facebook is a Faceplant. I also like the less obtrusive design .... but ..... almost looks naked missing fog lights, sensors, etc

I run LT285/60R18 Grabber AT2's on my LR4. (with spacer to accommodate LR3 wheels) During a recent R&B the tech was amazed at the tread depth for the miles on them.

I suspect you might get std stock vs. Pilkington. The difference in quality could have you wanting to through a rock through the replacement glass ....... Some of the non-UK glass is poor quality and wavy.

Thought we have been down this path ....... on bilstein. Land Rover is better but then again you get what you paid for.

If your panels are simply cracked and all pieces are available, lay them out on a work surface and glue the cracks with LOCTITE® PLASTICS BONDING SYSTEM. A 2 step adhesive specifically designed for plastics. You have about 10sec to ensure panel are aligned and it works very well. Then buy some...
