  1. Hi all, looking to switch from my estate car back to a land rover and D3s are tempting me. I’ve had a 300tdi 90 and D1 plus a D2 over the years Just how bad are the D3s for reliability and maintaining? cheers Jamie
  2. That was half of my reasoning behind buying this one haha, run it it’ll the body dies then stick the engine and box in the 90 im sure there’ll be a way of making the zf auto work outside the car
  3. In the same mate, could have had a decent 56 plate from the estate I used to work on for £6k back in 2015 but money was tight, now I’m kicking myself haha I’m currently in a 530d touring as a daily driver but I might just bite the bullet and get a hilux or l200 🫣
  4. Currently on 1, about to be 2. I’ll be honest and admit I think we’ve outgrown the 90, along with 2 children I’ve got to somehow find room for the 2 pushchairs and assorted items and quite often 3 spaniels 😬 Too true about kids and landrovers though, current child isn’t even 2 yet but loves her trips in the 90 and often points other defenders out in car parks anyone selling a 110 crew cab cheap? 😂😂
  5. I had a feeling this would be the case, a 110 crew cab would be perfect but they’re about 3x over budget for me haha I’ve had discoveries and they do work well as a family vehicle but they just seem to be lacking something to me all I know is I’m going to end up with multiple cars now as the 90 is not going anywhere haha
  6. Hi all, I’ve got an extending family now and the old 90 only has 2 seats. what affordable options are there to put rear seats in that can accept child seats? Cheers
  7. Thanks for the input, the car I’m looking at has just had both turbos and the inlet manifold replaced so should be good on that front. after reading more into it I think I’ll be avoiding the Range Rover for now as I can justify £675 road tax and 21-25mpg is just a touch to low these days with the mileage I do haha
  8. Hi all, I’m hoping to buy a 3.6 tdv8 l322 in the next few weeks and was hoping I could get some input on what they’re like to live with? I know landrocets in general are a running project rather than reliable daily drivers (at least mine are anyway haha) but just complex are these big machines? im a diesel fitter by trade so happy with nuts and bolts but not so strong on electrics Cheers guys
  9. Definitely tempted by the 3.6tdv8 now I’ve spotted a few haha
  10. Don’t tempt me… this whole process has just been sped up by my car being written off last night outside my house
  11. Hi all, long time Land Rover sufferer, had a 300tdi 90 for 10 years, a 2.25 series 3 for around 7 years and also had a couple of discovery 1 and 2s in that time. I’m looking to swap my everyday bmw estate for something larger and was considering a decent spec D3. just how much of a money pit is the D3? Hear lots of horror stories of massive bills and unsolvable electrical issues but I’d like some real world input on reliability and running costs. im decent with a spanner so can tackle most jobs in the garage which I know helps keep costs reasonable
  12. Bear had it right, small wire to the solenoid had came loose. why do they always choose the day you’re in a rush going somewhere nice in your best clothes so you can’t be crawling around underneath!
  13. Hi all, my discovery won’t crank. put the key in, turn ignition on and get all lights, radio etc. turn further to crank and I loose the radio as if it’s trying to start but it doesn’t crank. no flashing lights or anything on the dash and the lights on the gearstick change and correspond to the gear I’m selecting when playing with the stick any suggestions?
  14. Hi all, Came to my car this morning to get some stuff out and the key fob would not work, changed the fob battery and tried the lock/unlock sequence to reprogram it but not joy. the drivers door lock is either seized or is a different key to the ignition so I couldn’t get in that way either. managed to get in by carefully bending the passenger door top and pushing the central locking button with a stick. all doors unlocked and locked from the button so im happy the mechanics of the system are working. however once in I was totally unable to turn off the immobiliser as the car still wouldn’t register the key fob im thinking it’s the receiver unit in the rear headlining that I need to be looking at? or any other suggestions before I load the parts cannon?
