    Series Rover in Raleigh NC area for wedding

    Shot in the dark here. A close friend of mine is getting married in April in Raleigh. If he didn't live in Alaska his ceremonial ride would be his 1994 Defender 90. Does anyone know of a Series owner in the Raleigh area who would be willing to loan/chauffeur their Rover for the event? Date...

    A Cascade autumn in the LR3

    A couple weeks ago I spent a lovely stretch in the Cascades with friends of mine who are driving from Alaska to Patagonia in their converted Ford F-350 ambulance. We timed the conditions to catch the color of the larches at their peak. Got to do some research for upcoming articles in OutdoorX4...

    AMK compressor dryer service

    My AMK compressor is 6 years/40K miles old. I don't think it's ever been serviced. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it's 100% humidity 80% of the time. What is the best kit to service the dryer? I see Lucky 8 has a new dryer unit. Is there an alternative I might consider? Just...

    Front strut replacement - any tips?

    After 171,000 miles the front passenger airbag on my LR3 has a slow leak and it's time to replace the pair. I have new struts. I have my GAP tool. I watched the Atlantic British tech video. It doesn't look complicated, but those are always my famous last words. Any words of wisdom that...

    Costa Rica May 2023

    Finally making time to share notes about my recent trip to Costa Rica. It was my first visit, it was far too short, and I can't wait to return. I've visited 30 countries and this was one of the most enjoyable places to which I have traveled, I cannot recommend it enough. With only nine days...

    plug/coil recs for 4.4

    2008 LR3 4.4 is stumbling intermittently at idle, GAP tool reads a code for cylinder 5 misfire. Symptoms are similar to the misfire I had last year on cylinder 3, which a new ignition coil fixed. Coils and plugs were all replaced by previous owner about 20,000 miles ago. With that context...

    Washington Backcountry Discovery Route overview

    Former Discowebber Kris Newsom and I teamed up on our first creative collaboration for OutdoorX4 magazine with a feature on the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route. Which, of course, I drove in my Discovery. His photos are excellent so it's worth checking out for those alone. Link to the...

    Joshua Tree & Anza-Borrego November 2022

    Just returned from a magnificent 10-day trip in the desert. Picked up friends at LAX, enjoyed three days largely off pavement in Joshua Tree with friends who drove down from Denver. Took a layover day in Painted Canyon, then down to Ocotillo to drive the Anza-Borrego overland route from south...

    LR3 instrument cluster goes out intermittently

    Starting a little over a year ago, the gauges and screen on my 2008 LR3 instrument cluster would sporadically go out. Just driving along the information center goes blank, all the gauges drop like the vehicle is off, dash illumination goes dark, and there's no sound for the turn indicator...

    LR3 battery recommendations?

    I didn't see anything covering the topic in the last few years so I'm starting a new thread. What's your favorite replacement battery for the LR3? Mine is toast in my 2008 V8 SE. Of course it croaked 10 months after the end of the warranty period. MTP 49/H8

    Dead horse: OME MD vs HD springs

    I know this has been discussed since the Clinton administration, but I am facing a decision and would appreciate hearing from the Discoweb sounding board. I have a D1 with Terrafirma springs (light duty, which I think are the functional analog - but not performance equivalent - of the OME...

    WTB snorkel install template

    I bought a large pile of parts I needed and the collection came with a snorkel kit. I wasn't planning on installing it but after a few months in the garage I think I need to do something with it - either install it or sell it. Either way, it's missing the template for marking where to drill...

    1993 RRC fuel pump access

    I think my fuel pump is dead in my SWB 1993. My version of RAVE is for 1992 vehicles and shows you have to lower the tank. For my 1993 to access the pump do I have to drop the fuel tank or can I get at it from above in the cargo area under the carpet like in my Disco?

    Hub reinstall - spin resistance

    Replaced brake rotors (rear) and cleaned out/repacked bearings. Got hub assembly back on, followed directions in RAVE, and hubs are not spinning freely. If I loosen up the inner lock nut it improves, but then the hub has play. My leading hypothesis is that the fresh grease has higher viscosity...

    RRC passenger side rear lamp guard

    Some bastard visigoth barbarian swine ripped off one of my rear lamp guards. Yanked it straight off, broke my fancy new aluminum hardware and everything. If anyone has a single passenger side rear lamp guard sitting around gathering dust, I'd like to buy it. This is the style that plugs into...
