Im sorta thinking about getting a LR3 as a DD. My D1 is gettin rusty.
So in general, how are LR3s with rust issues?

I dislike working on rovers...I hate working on LR3's.
It's one thing to work on rusty hardware on discoveries, where there is usually ample room for drills, cut off wheels, etc. but there is no room on newer rovers. I have not replaced one EPB where I didn't have to drill, cut, chase threads.
Had to put front sway bar links on an '09 RR Sport this week. Eventually had to remove the front shocks to cut the upper links stud out.
Quality stuff these rovers are.
Search to see what it takes to replace the rusted out brake lines on an LR3.
then wait until your heater core clogs up!!! but when it does, just cut the hard lines and add some heater hoses because it won't be the last time you replace it.
My suggestion is (if you absolutely have to stick with rovers) find a clean D2 with less rust than your D1.
Not really. Lr3's rust pretty easily from what I saw. More so than d2's.
I have to admit the hardware can get pretty rusted up . I guess I was thinking more about body rust . Like cosmetic stuff . But the disco 2 ? . You can't keep coolant in them . We already couldn't get those shitty frame cross members off when they were 2 years old .I dislike working on rovers...I hate working on LR3's.

Are you putting the bushings in it also? Those bushings get loose and sound like loose lumber bouncing around.
