Hello ALL
Hello to one and all. Just recently purchased an LR4 to do some off roading but also some long road tripping. Not a total newbie to LR.10 years ago I had a 95 D1. That’s where I fell in love with the brand. One unfortunate thing was it had the motor and electrics that had the rough idle that nobody, at the time, could track down the source of. It was hell trying to pass pollution tests in order to a current licence plate sticker.
I took a break but call of the open and off road called my name and here I am back with an LR4. I am looking forward to talking with everyone and getting some top notch advice.
Cheers - Brian

Hi all,
I'm 3 weeks into D3 ownership with my 2005 SE auto! I came from a low mileage Discovery 2 TD5 and loved it, but I decided I wanted a nicer car to drive to work every day.
My plans are to go full overland spec, I've got a roof tent, awning and winch from the D2 to get fitted.
I'd like an Xlifter, some BFG KO2's, and potentially compomotives down the line when the wallet allows.
So far just been tidying up the MOT issue and niggly bits, so replaced the lower arms for Meyle HD ones, and fitted some front air bellows today to stop the dropping front corner overnight.
I love it!

New Member from Toronto Canada, just bought an LR3
Hi everyone.
I’m Tiago, from Portugal.
Currently living in Canada for over 10 years.
Always wanted an Land Rover, just grew up with family members owning land rovers. Finally got some spare cash and decided to pull the trigger. The idea is make the Lr3 second car for some summer trips and camping here in Ontario, great place to explore outdoors with tones of provincial parks!!
Will create a build thread for my Lr3, long story short found a ton of problems with it, floorboard water damage, all 4 sunroof drains were damaged with rubber elbows at the end falling apart. Now I’m facing the wiring corrosion. I’m very comfortable with mechanical work but still scared of electronics. At the end if I can make this run will become a master electrician
