    CarPlay upgrade for LR3

    One of the biggest convenience drawbacks of these vehicles is the outdated tech and infotainment. Particularly the Nav screens on the HSE LR3’s. Came across a solution for CarPlay/Android Auto on a Facebook group and finally pulled the trigger myself. All in its $150 or so and am pleased with...

    LR3 valve block part numbers

    Question regarding LR3 valve blocks - are the front (RVH500095) and rear (RVH500055) interchangeable? Finding conflicting information out there but also see these part numbers often both listed for the same part. If anyone has personal experience using front in rear or vice versa it’d be appreciated

    Discovery 5 - SCV6 questions

    To my chagrin I’m starting to look for a Disco 5. Given 90% of my driving is in town I’d have to go with the SCV6. Does this motor have some of the same issues with failing coolant crossover pipes like it did in the LR4? Any timing chain issues or other major issues to look out for with the SCV6...

    Occasional smoke on startup

    Getting occasional quick puff of not very thick, white/gray smoke immediately on startup in my LR3. Sometimes it will go away for months, sometimes once or twice a week - this is one of those weeks. Runs smooth and fine before and after. No loss of oil or coolant. I occasionally get a P0420 -...

    New weld-on diff guards

    Discovered some diff guards I forgot about that I need to part with. They?re for a P38, which has the fill plug is on the opposite side as shown in the photo. These could be easily fitted to any other Rover by doing a little cutting to provide access the conventional fill plug location. $60 +...

    Removing Exterior Door Rub Strips

    In considering removing the wheel arches on my D2 I thought it would look odd to leave the black plastic 'rub strip' (for door dings) on each door on. Removing these will kind of complete the clean look of no wheel arches also. Are these held on by double sided tape similar to the wheel arches...

    Autoloader Shotgun Options and Opinions

    It's about time for me to purchase my own shotgun after borrowing my father in law's Remington 1100 for the past year or so. Primary use will be sporting clays and likely dove hunts in the future. An autoloader seems to be the trick as a decent O/U is more than I'm wanting to spend. The 1100 has...

    Non-OE D2 Fuel Cap Replacement

    A year or two ago I started getting the evap leak CEL for the fuel cap. Cleaned up ran fine for awhile and it's coming back again with more frequency. Tired of fooling with it. Are there any good non-OE replacements out there? If I'm gonna have this happen again I'd rather not spend $40 on a...

    255/70/18

    Anyone running this size on a D2? Seems like a narrow 32" option for the 18" wheel and there are many tire choices out there. Have searched here and Google without much information. Thinking this size might be a good option for my ~1" of lift

    OEM Auxilary Light Replacement

    One of my factory auxiliary lights (the round 'Land Rover' lights with grille) on my brush bar was fogged up so I pulled things apart to investigate. The current housing is absolutely shot and rusted to hell. It appears to be a standard 7" light which fits inside the plastic 'Land Rover'...

    The gift that keeps on giving - mystery coolant leak

    It seems whenever you get a handle on a Rover something new pops up but I should know this by now. A little background on my Rover - 02' DII with 155k miles. I am running an inline 180 degree thermostat. Headgaskets done 30k ago. Expansion tank cap replaced a few months back. No signs of coolant...

    Replacement for dying Diehard Platinum

    Seems my battery is on it's way out. Wouldn't crank after sitting over Thanksgiving and now dropping down to about 10v when sitting overnight. Back up to 14v and all ancillaries work fine immediately after start. Anyhow, it's a Diehard Platinum which is sadly NLA. I'm assuming I'll get some sort...

    Factory Fog Light Issue

    I'll preface this by saying the fog lights have not worked since I bought my D2 over 2 years ago. I've been trying to address a list of small issues on the Disco such as this, rear wiper and seat heaters over the coming months. I replaced the bulbs today as something to simply check off the...
