Data Point: 2012 LR4, bought new. Ride comfort, storage, offroad and camping over 125,000 miles without any major issues. Best car I’ve ever owned – just can’t let it go.
the LR3 in poverty spec is actually the best spec
You paid too much for a basic lr3 & a v6 my opinion I bought my 07 lr3 hse 4.4 v8 off copart clean title 1100.00 I did rebuild my transmission 5k ouch and replace complete suspension control arms, bushing, arnott air suspension springs ,replace steering shaft, replace radiator and water pump , all coolant lines , upgraded rims to rhino arsenal rims, with 275x65x18 Mickey Thompson legend exp tires , front-runner roof rack, terrafirma swing out tire carrier, arb snorkel, also xlifer to control my suspension the list gose on this is a overland build
I also bought a 04 D2 for 600.00 from arizona means rust free frame , he made a comment the D2 under power that's a American attitude because we love powerful v8 but this is a European British vehicle this is normal in their country and this D2 in Europe have manual transmission, im planning a 5.3 ls swap when my 4.6 dies and keeping the 4 speed transmission I like the functions of oem transmission, im building this into another overland simple build , Charles was very lucky to sell his D2 on bring a trailer 45k he got every dime he spent back he spent on his D2 that extremely rare but when you find someone who thinks and have a vision on any build you get your money back when selling, to spend this kind of money it has to be a keeper , I just drop my disgusting headliner I wanted a topographic map design with foam backing nobody makes one with foam backing so I bought beige suede , got rid of rear magazine bungee holder and painted the ac vents black and put in led bulbs what a transformation im probably doing second & third roll delete & doing some kind of interior build many ideas on Pinterest for D2 & hyena overland has lots of products for older D1 & D2
Sorry Tommy marriage life is making you gain weight your not skinny anymore & you looked better younger with your glasses but anyway congratulations on your marriage and future plans
I’ve owned a D110, Series III, and RR Classic, and rest of my family has owned a Disco I, Disco II, and RR P38. I learned a lot about fixing cars early on. Now I’ve switched to Toyotas… A cheap Land Rover can certainly be tempting, but just not worth it unless you have the expendable time and money
I totally with Tommy's sentiments on the Disco3, I have owned 4 without any major issues, crossed the Kalahari desert overland and thousands of off road miles in them. It's a van, a luxury 7 seater and yes a true 4×4 no other vehicle can be compared even the more modern Range Rovers/Landrovers (other than the Defender).
I have owned a D1 bought brand new broke down after collecting from the dealer also owned a D2, now own a from new D4. The D4 has caused some problems. The D2 was the best, drove all over Europe towing our big caravan ( trailer to you ) never missed beat.
Online reviews are always going to put a negative spin on things – you don’t often post about how your truck did a 500 mile trip with no issues – but it seems like a couple of nice trucks there.
I’m loving my D2 V8 and having watched Christian and Vera on LR Time I’m tempted by a LR3 or LR4.

Maybe your mechanic was smoking something because doesn't the LR3 use the ZF 6 speed transmission with the replaceable plastic pan? The filter is built into the pan and it's totally normal to replace the entire plastic pan when you change the filter and fluid.
Can you do LS swap and still register it in Denver and pass emissions? Or registering a car like this is only possible out of Denver Metro Area?
With LR, less is more…
Who needs heated seats. If it's there cool, if not who cares.
Kase, I promise you that Land Cruisers still need plenty of maintenance. My Dad's 100 series has actually really nickeled and dimed him over the past year with all the maintenance it has needed.
A little over 2k in maintenance so far…that's not that bad at all these days.
Live in Denver – 3 Defender 90s, 1 Defender 110, 3 Range Rovers, 1 LR3 (still have the 110 and LR3) in 24 years. No major issues. LR3 is my daily driver. 160,000 miles. Zero issues except I tried to buy an aftermarket gas cap. Nope, gotta go oem. Still on the original suspension. Need to pickup Sheetrock? No problem. Need seating for 7? Easy. Want to go 4 wheeling with your Jeep friends. Sure. V8 HSE LR3 is the best vehicle LR has ever made. And I’ve owned enough LR’s to give that opinion. I’ve also owned Toyota Tacomas and 2 Land Cruisers. Nice trucks. But boring on the inside. And, contrary to popular belief. They break down and they are expensive to fix…. All good. Doesn’t matter what you drive…as long as you like it.
Give me a Toyota Hilux or Landcruiser any day over a Land Rover. Ford destroyed anything good that was in them.
Drives me crazy when people call engines motors.
My LR3 has 245K miles and is on it's original air suspension and compressor.
I had two of those: a 1994 and then a somewhat interior restyled 1998 model. These vehicle handled amazingly well on a highway and are the true champs off road. I owned over 20 cars since then but these Discos still have a very special place in my heart. The only issue was very poor mpg, and this conversion sorts it out! You made me thinking about buying one and doing the same. Thank you very much! 🙏🏻👍
I would love to see part of the build in a series. Can't wait to see the finished product.
You did not mention the ML W163. Tommy, you should have given it another chance, buying a 2001 ML witch was the model and year I had, and it was as good as the Land Rover LR3 off-road.
I drove through wild mountains and offroad parks, never broke on me.
Love to see more vids on Case's build.
This was great, everybody goes on about conversions but this is the most I've learned about it, ever, and Tommy if someone spends millions making an AC repair kit there's a good chance (100%) that it does what it says … Millenials and millions and millions of other adults seem to struggle with reality at it's most basic. Here's why it matters
"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore."
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.". Thats by a German philosopher about how hitlers gang fooled the german people into a war of utter madness
Tailgate looks like the new expedition
Here in the UK the discovery 2 is a much in demand car for off roading but we got the 2.5 td5 engine that goes on for ever ,I’ve just got a Discovery 4 with the sdv6 engine 3.0 with an 8 speed gear box 2013 😊bloody great car with only 68,000 miles and fall Land Rover service history
Chase's build reminds me of back in the day when folks with 80s Jags would swap the british engine for a chevy v8 for reliablity
Cant wait to see the stupid drag race videos when Kase pops up in his DiscoVette… haha… Better at least buy the best brake pads you can for that thing
