The Rover-Landers of BC

Was thinking of getting a LR3 so did alot of searching & found this web site.

I think I'll be looking into a Disco 2 instead.

Just remember all those people who don't blog because their cars are working fine.

And, if you go off road, you'll smash, dent, flood, etc. all the bits before they fail anyway. :mrgreen:

Overall an LR3 will be more reliable than a Disco 2. I don't believe either will be any different than similar models from other makes of the same age.

Have you read this sit? LR3 I think would be the way to go.
Question is what are your plans for this new rover?

+1 for the LR3

The Disco 2 is a nice car, but it doesn't seem to offer much more than a D1 which is cheaper and easier to work on. The LR3 might not be the easiest shade tree mechanic's car, but it offers a LOT more than a D1/2.

17in rims on a LR4/3 me like.

The Brits do love a good moan (I'm from Essex BTW)!

Me too, where abouts in Essex did you live?

Harold hill just outside romford. How about you?

Chelmsford mostly, and a little time near Maldon :D

How did you get the 17" rims to fit? Modify the break callipers?

OK Essex boys, this is for you:

Hey all you Brits wanna get a room ;-) Back on topic I didn't do this swap,check the link I posted.
Just saying that it now looks possible to do with is awesome.

I own a 2006 LR3 SE my wife drives it 90% of the time and we really like it. It has 140,000 km on it and still going strong. The next one will be the LR4 love the car. Yes some times small things break down but its a land rover. But nothing what those idiots claim from that web site. We owned a volkswagen touareg before the LR3 and we had more expensive maintenance bills than the rover. Also the fuel consumption is also not that bad on the high way what we mostly drive we are getting 8km per liter. But its a big car nothing like most suv.

But it can't beat my defender:)
