    Should I Purchase an LR3

    I have an '01 disco II ACE and bought my wife a '06 LR3 HSE..... I still drive the '01 as my DD and love it. I agree that the LR3 is a totally different vehicle and better in a lot of cases. It fits the kids better and the 3rd row is excellent. Overall fit and finish is good. I have had...

    My '01 disco sunroof has started to rattle while in the tilt position over even the smallest potholes. It seems to be loose on the left side of the roof and i can move it by hand but can't seem to find anything or where to tighten from. Any help is appreciated!

    Independent LR shop in Northern VA

    Roverland in Alexandria is very good and comes highly recommended...i don't think their pricing is as good as it used to be.....since you are in Gainesville you may want to stop by or call 4x4 land in Chantilly. They have just opened up in Chantilly and they are a family that has been working...
