May I recommend: I always have in the vehicle a 1/2" drive torque wrench which is about 24" long and a deep/long 6 point impact socket.

Simply wanting more interior space or some other aspect can supersede all of your very valid points listed. It's like showing up to the dance and the two of you realize you'd rather not be together anymore. Get over it and move on ;) Anyway, I agree on the service history. Selling mine would...

Well, I just read that thread in the classified section and my biggest concern would be that the seller seems to think that painting some slider scratches is a remedy for rust. While it is of little concern on the slider specifically, it would concern me as an overall approach in how other...

There's an extensive thread regarding the un-reliability of your new vehicle ;) It's either on EP, ih8bud, or maybe landroverworld. Unfortunately it looed as if it's not just a few people complaining but somewhat of a widespread base of identical occurrences. Who knows though. My 96...

I see. That explains why in my 230,000 mile 1996 Discovery that almost every item under the bonnet has been replaced aside from the engine and transmission ;)

Awesome and simple! Yes, just have 2nd switch. I wonder what I could do to keep the code from coming up? I just clear it with the IIDtool but still it would be nice to not have it happen if simple enough to resolve.

So that I accurately understand what you mean, you think that a radiator, differential, wheel bearing, shifting module, and some other major parts are "wear" items? I don't think so. In fact I think it's total crap these things failed so soon.

Where's a 2nd pump? Was that part of the kit or an idea you all tried? Anyone can "drive" with the 2nd tank "empty" so what do you mean exactly? Without codes happening saying lack of system vapor pressure or whatever that code says? If yes, then how did you solve this? --- EDit: I just...

I'd say the previous desire for the HD rear locker is irrelevant now that ARB has made their air lockers for front and rear. I think in an LR3 search it would be WAY more important to find your favorite colors and attractive service history and purchase price. Besides, you can't say you don't...

I'd like my LR3 body and interior design dropped onto a LC 200 chassis and powertrain ;) Hmm, how hard could it really be .... ****, might as well put in a 4BT while in there along with portals and CTIS.

I kind of have to agree with you here though. Mainly because if we take the parameters as presented of "best ever" and "fit into", then I don't see a seriously strong case for the move into a Land Rover. What I see, between the lines, is an attempt to rationalize an itch.... Don't we all try...

To further emphasize how the space is more usable, it is mostly provided by how all the rear seats fold flush to create the "floor". I have to say that I always miss the superior floor to ceiling height in the Discovery 1 and 2 but the LR3 gained quite a lot in the length and the seats get out...

I think you'll have to clarify the size statement because as Nwoods noted, he apears to think you meant the lr3, but it's not called a "discovery" here. Yet you say "discovery" as if there were only 1 type. YOU are supposed to be particularly familiar with all of them based on signature but I...

Actually, they WILL have later more sizes than any other similar tire I think, at least in the tricky lr3/4 18" zone. 265, 275, and 285/65x18 were of course going to be made but I was surprised to see the very rare, in any type, 265/70x18. These will be my next tire, and then I won't need to...

well good grief! Guess I'm lucky to not be in CA. I sure as hell wouldn't be trying to remove the tank and connections every year just for kicks. Good for you if it's REALLY a 1 hr deal but I'd like to watch and time you ;)

I have not measured, and maybe I will, but it seems that too many vehicles now trying to cram in 3rd row seats have way too high a floor and way to low a ceiling, for any sort of enjoyable 3rd row experience. What I want to measure is my friend's 80's Mercedes wagon, a 212 maybe?, which has the...

Parked beside a new one yesterday it became apparent how much window view I really get in the lr3 compared to some other vehicles. My window sill was easily 3-4 inches lower and the upper edge of window was about 3-4 inches higher. One thing that brought me to buy the 96 Discovery back in...

Maybe to you. However, Land Rover = knowing the last name, email, and possibly personal mobile phone number of the dealer service person or your indy shop owner/tech.

The less something is moving, the less the mass matters but we are mostly talking about moving at a good rate of speed usually in such discussions regarding braking. Thus the weight is actually more important than the leverage due to diameter. Of course having more mass also further out only...

I think photos representing the choices would be useful....
