    EXPLORING THE 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 5 " D5 " OFF ROAD OPTIONS

    Exactly, that price increase equates to an inflation rate of about 3.5% a year. About what one might expect. Guess if they made them into even more of a computer it could go down in price but then we all would be complaining about that even more. A number of things I like about the D5 and...

    First mod to an LR4?

    Sliders depending how adventurous your adventures will be. See the disscusion about the low break over angle in the prior thread about doing the rubicon in a LR3. Lucky8's own design best in my opinion. Otherwise the IID tool is key, then tires.

    First model year LR4.....what to look out for?

    I picked up a 2012 almost two years ago after a 3 to 4 month search. Looking for a white (hides the pin stripping) HD package, black interior and certified. How many of those are there? A saved search on Auto Trader worked well for me. Just adjust your filter and add "Heavy Duty" into the...

    Land Rover design director vows to put third-party tuners out of business

    Wow! that has to be one of the most arrogant statements I have read in a while. We know what is best for you and don't dare think there may be a different interpretation of what this vehicle is supposed to be. Example of typical central planning thinkers and advocates at their best. Will...

    Jaguar Land Rover a huge loser in potential new border tax

    Just saw this article which doesn't bode well for Land Rover continuing to up their U.S. presence or launch of a new Defender. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-06/land-rovers-seen-needing-17-000-price-hike-to-offset-border-tax Yikes, if it ever went through. On the other hand...

    2017 LR Discovery details

    Anyone heard weather the low range option, presumably still called the HD package will continue to include a rear locker? Worrisome I agree that it will be dang tough to put accessories like a bumper on, but all in all comsidering realities of today's market and design requirements, not half...

    LR3 sliding loadspace floor

    I should have one coming my way soon. Glad to hear you are happy with yours. How is the ability to access the spare wheel with the unit and a fridge mounted? This has been one of my larger hang ups on other shelving items as I plan to have a fridge and other equipment mounted.

    Range Rover Classic ESA Dash Light

    What about simply taking out the actual light bulb behind the dash? That's what I did with my oil pressure light that would never go off.

    Weird 1987 Range Rover Classic I purchased

    Great to see a RRC getting a second shot at life. Seeing to many getting scraped out.

    LR3: New windshield..now no intermittent wipers don't work

    When I had the windshield replaced on my LR4 they initially didn't plug/calibrate the sensor back in that is integrated to the review mirror that controls the wipers. Fault is likely there as mentioned above.

    LR3/Discovery 3 off road traction control video

    DSC will f@&k you up when you need power the most killing momentum and possibly taking you off your line. First thing I do is turn it off before hitting the trail.

    1985 subaru brat (ohio)

    Nice, was just thinking last week that it would be great to get one of these. Alas, now is not the time for me.

    How important are the various underbody protection offerings for the LR4?

    Agree with Nwoods, you would likely be fine stock due to better clearance than the freelancer. To be safe if you are worried , get sliders for the step as much as the protection, compressor and sump guard and you will be fine. You will be amazed how much better the Lr4 is over the 2

    '91 hunter transfer case question

    Have the lt230 in my hunter and would recommend this option. Simplified like the hunter itself. How do you know the 4wd isn't working? Also hunter edition believe have the same cv joints as the defender while the regular range rovers in 91 all came with ABS and the hunter does not have ABS.

    LR4/Discovery 4: School me?

    I also relatively recently picked a 4 up. After owning a classic for years for the trail work and being leery that the brand had gone soft in recent years, it was largely from reading posts hear that brought me over and opened my eyes to what the 3 and 4s can do. I setup a nationwide search on...

    Is there a vin decoder to tell me if an LR3 has the hd package?

    Depending on how you are searching too, in some websites like Autotrader just put in "heavy duty package" in the search field and it will pull up all the trucks listed as having the heavy duty package installed. You will still want to verify that the truck listed does in fact have the package...
