Works, until you have an electrical issue. which on these trucks is often. I wouldnt trust an LR3 in the back country. I dont want the cars computer deciding whats best.

that's true. previous disco's did not rely on a terrain control module though.
Some Discos even had a distributor.
I probably did some stoopid water crossings up @ Harisonburg way back but my starter and alternator never failed...at least not right away.
.
The starter in my LR3 failed without even getting wet. Sometimes they just go bad. Might have been a coincidence. Mine was burned contacts inside the solenoid.
You know what I mean... Im not talking about the basics like a starter and alt. Im talking about all the "trickery" the LR3 has to use in order to be capable.
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer mechanical operation vs electrical when it comes to off-roading.
Who said anything about diffs? But ok sure.. So how does the LR3 engage its 4wheel drive? Versus a D1,D2,90..etc??
Now how about the ride height? My D2 stays about the same height no matter what thanks to these fancy things called springs.
I believe the LR3 uses what? air bags a compressor and a computer.
You tell me which is more reliable? Actually dont tell me, because I honestly dont care about your opinion.

With the proper manifold and a carb that doesn't starve on high off camber, a pretty reliable set up.
At least as reliable as the piece of shit engine it's feeding.
