/r/LandRover Rules:

Not my cup of tea, but it definitely caught my attention and still a Land Rover lol

Earlier today, a chick in a Subaru was driving like a complete fool and almost caused an accident. luckily I stopped in time to avoid collision, but she still scratched my car. How much do you think this would cost to get fixed? Ive got her license plate number and a police report, but I’m not sure if it’s worth filing with my insurance.

Hello! Just newly purchased a 2006 LR3. I did notice after a heavy rain a super super slight wet carpet in the drivers side floor. I’m trying to potentially diagnose the issue. Seems like may be related to the sunroof drain but the slanted part of the floor right under the dash is actually dry and there’s a damp section near where the e carpet meets the lip going to the door trim. It’s not soaked by any means so I think the problem is early. Any diagnostic steps and fixes would be appreciated. Planning on clearing sunroof drains and maybe replacing the nipple if needed

Doesn’t sound like a rod knock and seems to be most prevalent on top near the fuel rail. Increase a bit during acceleration. Any ideas what this might be. Not even sure when. It started or how long it’s been there but paranoid about any noise.

Any opinions appreciated.

I like the color

am trying to learn more about the car

1. are you a discovery owner?
2. if yes - discovery / disco sport?
3. what do you mostly use the car for? am wondering how often ill use it
4. what are the first three words that come to mind when thinking about Discovery?

Long story short, I’ve been eyeing the P90 V8 for a long time. I have never owned any Land Rover before. The P90’s shape and the quirk of only having 2 door just vibe with me. For those that did or still daily it. Does the 2 door become an annoyance overtime?

For context: I only chauffeur around my wife and my dog, no kids, rarely anyone else.

The price is in CAD and mileage in KM.

Range Rover Sport HSE

Just got my first Land Rover Discovery Sport. Does anyone have a good website that sells after market parts for it? Also, has anyone ever taken out the touchscreen and replaced it with an apple car play screen? Cheers everyone!

California- My car has been at the dealership for a replacement part they said are waiting to be shipped from the UK. They said that ALL parts in the US are mislabeled and they’re waiting on the parts to come from the UK. I was initially informed by someone I contacted from LandRoverUSA that the parts will be shipped end of April and now she told me it will be shipped end of May. If I wait until end of May, I will have been without my car for 6 months. Yes, I do have a loaner vehicle but I can’t drive freely due to restrictions of mileage and out of radius distance. Any suggestions or tips on how to escalate this ?

Hi guys,

Anybody have experience buying an extended warranty for an old Land Rover and actually getting good service & coverage? All stories and experiences welcomed

I'm thinking things like timing chains and common engine problems of old L322's and LR3+4

Would love to hear your experience. Really want to buy another Land Rover!! Thanks!!!

Just started researching Land Rover but I am interested in a dependable everyday driver that has decent towing capability and payload capacity. Looking at these:

BMW X5

LR RR Sport

LR Discovery

LR Defender 110

Toyota Tundra - latest gen

2024 Tacoma

Anyone have experience with these and can offer recommendations?

What reasons should I consider before purchasing disco sport and which other cars should I consider instead? Live in London and looking for a 5 seater!

Recently 2005 RR HSE (140K miles) developed a situation: after locking car with remote or with the key, when unlocking it (either remote or key) rear doors, fuel cap and/or tailgate remain locked.

Based on my research across forums, people point out towards the problem with BCU (Body Control Unit) that is located under the passenger door. The strongest indication that it is BCU is that resetting BCU using central lock/unlock button on the console - pressing it 6-10 times to lock unlock the door - fixes this problem. It also fixes stiff steering that was before. Now, steering will get stiff again, but it is another problem I am going to deal later by replacing power steering pump and the fluid.

I want to focus on resolving situation with BCU. There are number of them available for sale on Ebay but what people are saying that one has to reprogram used BCUs and one must buy the unit that matches the hardware and software versions from the current car, so I have to pull the unit and check these versions.

My questions to the audience:

- Except buing the united from other RR, can the existing one be repaired/fixed?
- What kind of question should I ask to sellers on Ebay to make sure that I am getting functional/working unit?
- What could be other reliable sources/shops to buy used unit (in the US)?
- Finally, if I get unit from another RR, what need to be done (reprogramming, etc) to make sure it will work with my vehicle?

Thanks

Thinking about buying an LR3 to use as an off road/utility car. I’ve been reading a decent amount of which model to get but would appreciate if people would give me common issues, what to look out for etc. Everything that I’ve read essentially is saying 07-08 is the best LR3 realiability wise, personally would want an HSE trim level.

Does high mileage matter on these?

I have a 2017 full-size discovery and it needs pads and rotors soon. I do a lot of towing my trailer and was wondering if I would be able to upgrade to the 2018 brakes and what that would entail or if it’s worth it.

First day over 60 wash. Felt great. Love this thing.

I always go visit Edina because I see about 30-50 rovers of any kind on average

Here is link to a 3 min survey for discovery car users: https://lbs.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_afnwsma1xWbAvoa

We're selling our 2007 LR3, it runs great but the transmission is on its way out, it recently stopped going into reverse so I know we don't have long. Engine is strong with 188K and other than broken lift gate hinges the car is in great shape. We've been offered 4K, my question to you all is this a good deal? Suspension had been recently swapped to coil overs and everything else is stock and in great shape. Thanks in advance for any insight!

I am looking to purchase a nice used mid size to large SUV and think I have narrowed it down to BMW X5/X7 and Land Rover as they look nice and have great towing capacities. I see reliability issues with many modern vehicles and intend to get an extended warranty. I am confused on Land Rover models.

Land Rover Discovery Sport Compact?

Range Rover Evoque Compact?

Range Rover Velar Mid Size?

Land Rover Discovery Mid Size?

Land Rover Defender Mid to Full?

Ranger Rover Sport Mid Size?

Range Rover Full Size?

Not sure if I got the sizes correct. Can someone recommend the best all around mid size or larger SUV for towing, comfort, capability and reliability? May tow a small travel trailer that is 5000lbs or lighter. The full sized Range Rover is probably outside my budget of around $50k or less, used.
