AVOID ANY lr3 without warranty! bottom line. doesnt matter which combination you get.....

i took the plunge for an '05 se v8 4.6L (without warranty)..... within week its at the shop already for apparent brake booster builds up carbon deposit / condensation and your brake pedal gets SUPER hard/stiff and literally have to push with both feet to get it to have some kind of brakes...
(note its been frigged weather out lately)


good thing it falls into the 90day in house warranty they offer with every vehicle purchased.
kind of scares me on what else can happen... after 90 days!
warranty companies the dealership deal with wouldn't cover truck since it its a Land Rover!

Fuel economy, reliability, horsepower, towing, stock off road ability, ground clearance, cargo space, electronic gadgets like NAV, bluetooth, 6 disc indash cd, aux in, etc.

Oh, and I have heated rear seats. :)

What's a Lr3 headlight assembly cost? Air compressor? Rear diff? A frame bushings?

Headlights vary depending on Halogen or HID and adaptive or not.

Air compressor is $700 new from land rover. But you can get them used. I'm pretty sure mine is used, but I put a new dryer on it 6 months ago and I'm code free ever since.

Rear diff is expensive, about $1000 or even more from land rover. Change the fluid like it is a d1. Ignore the maintenance schedule.

Complete front lower control arms are about $125 on amazon.
