    Land Rover Engineer Requires Info

    This is just my short list and it is not pie in the sky stuff as we all know that there are very strict Federal guidelines for cars. 1. Build quality, I am so tired of having an endless number of idiot lights coming on. 2. A diesel engine. I have driven the Euro spec Discovery 3 and it is...

    Buying An LR3

    Good Day all, I have a 2005 LR3 HSE and this is my two cents. First of all you will absolutely love the ride, both on and off road compared to the D2. It is much roomier inside, and overall a heck of a nice car. I have had a few issues with mine, they are: 1. Brakes and tires wearing...

    LR3 Diesel for the US?

    I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting! Please let them there is a real market for their product with increased fuel economy. Especially in the LR3. It would seem to make more sense to introduce it into the true "Utility" vehicle of the brand, and not the sport, or super luxury...

    PHOTOS-one heavily "bashed" but still dent free LR3....

    Your taste and equipment setup on your LR3 is top notch. If I had the budget mine would be it's twin. What is it like sleeping on the roof? Any motion, or unsettling issues? I think any one who is bashing your truck is bitten by the green monster! Enjoy it in good health! Mike 2005 Land...

    LR3 Snorkel, is it worth it?

    Thanks for the input. I think I am going to get the Safari. Even if it just makes the LR3 look a little more rugged!

    LR3 Snorkel, is it worth it?

    Thank you for the input. According to the Safari Snorkel web site, it is supposed to act as cold air induction. They claim you should see an increase in HP and MPG. I tried it on my DII and found neither. I should add that the install on my Disco was a royal pain, it looks a lot simpler on...

    LR3 Snorkel, is it worth it?

    Hello all, I have a 2005 LR3 HSE. I have always admired the look of a fording snorkel on beefy landies and am considering installing one made by Safari Snorkel, and sold by Atlantic British. I have three questions? Is the Safari as good as the Land Rover OEM snorkel? Can you get the Land Rover...
