Been looking at buying a LR3 but there's to many electronics. My 1992 110 200tdi defender has like 10 wires all the way through the vehicle lol

[@JayTeeCars]

Yes the LR3 does have a lot of electronics, which have pros and cons.

[@ceesaydesignsolutions]

Perfect car for certain conditions in 🇬🇲

[@shankarwain4289]

Ever since I was a kid ,I had a huge crush for this car ! Back in 2007 ,when I was 5 ,my dad had bought be a car magazine ,which had also introduced me with the land rover discovery 3 ! In that particular journal ,it was all about an expedition with a group of 5 to 6 LRD3s ,maybe in Namibia ! That's when it even introduced me to the enthusiasm of offroading and obviously ,one of the best land rovers ever ! As I grew up ,I got to know about even the old solid axled ladies ! Ever since then ,the LRD3 has turned out to be my favourite ! Sad to see that land rover only makes crossovers , whereas once upon a time ,they made even body on frame 4x4s enough to carry and tow 1050 kgs and 3.5 tons respectively !

[@JayTeeCars]

Hi Prakit, great back story you have there. Maybe one day the D3 value will be recognised and prices start to increase, but probably too many of them out there for this to happen for a while yet.

I just wish we had the diesel option in the States. I’m 220k miles In my D3 and off-road it like a animal. She’s a beast. Luckily I opted for the LUX. Dual battery, 2” lift , full custom rack and winch. I need to make similar videos. Good stuff. I was even in the Alloy and Grit magazine. Cheers

[@OverlandTT]

Which size engine is in your, i'm over here in the UK and diesels here are common as. Any issues?

[@daftpunkjames]

@@OverlandTT no mechanical issues with engine block and heads. Haven’t even replaced the valve cover seals. It’s the 4.4 Jaguar engine. Solid engine. Literally the best Land Rover made for comfort and reliability in the States. And I have owned many models. If I could get a diesel I would be in heaven tho! Cheers

Great video, im sure my 2009 D3 HSE does show that the headlights are on on the dash (including when in auto mode). The lower tailgate release is a new one to me, the motors seem to fail a lot and all the advixe i have seen involves yanking the trim out to get to yank on some cables if i understand correctly.

[@JayTeeCars]

Haha, thanks for subscribing. On the suspension question, I am thinking about trying out one of the air suspension control modules, hope to bring you a video on that in not too distant future.

[@jbroernov4821]

@@JayTeeCars wish you do same like other using old man emo spring suspension. Many youtube presentations did but i am still skeptical it can be done on LR4. I am long time fan of LR3 or 4 but no plan to buy yet coz i don't like its air suspensions. Had LR2 before, expensive maintenance cost force me to sold it out.

[@dadventuretv2538]

Nice vid. What wheels and size tires you have on there? And do you have lift rods installed? I have 2.5 in Johnson Rods with the 18 Compos with 265/65 Cooper S/T Maxx tires and love the set up. Basically driving around in offroad height (2.5 in lift plus .8 in from tires). I understand why they can’t come equipped this way but man is it the way this vehicle was meant to be.

[@JayTeeCars]

Thanks, we are running 265/70 R17 tires: www.coopertire.co.uk/tires/discoverer-stt-pro-p.o.r We don't have an lift rods installed, and I think the tires are largest that fit without rubbing.

[@dadventuretv2538]

@@JayTeeCars sweet. Mine is an LR4 and 17s don’t fit over the calipers and I need the braking for towing so 18 is smallest I could go. Nice that you can get the 17s on there and have that slightly larger rubber. one thing that is cool about the lift rods (and you could install them temporarily before each offroad trip if you don’t want them full time- it doesn’t take too long), is that I can get additional clearance simply by selecting a Terrain Response that raises the suspension into offroad height or by selecting offroad height myself. I don’t have to wait til I’m high centered to get that extra height. Although I have found that there are very few times I need that much height for what I do, usually just leave it set in normal with the lift rods and it’s good. Downside is that when I select a Terrain Response that automatically lifts the vehicle, I have to put it back into Normal Height. Have fun out there. Gonna have to check out some of your other vids.

[@dadventuretv2538]

@@JayTeeCars I’m getting and installing the bump stocks with the limiting straps, so if I have an air suspension failure I won’t be on the tires. Will give me a bit of piece of mind. Do you have those on yours?

[@JayTeeCars]

Hi, I don’t have limiting straps on mine, I think the tires they are just about OK if suspension fails (or at least OK on access mode). I would be interested to see yours after you fit.

[@viflag]

On my lr3 the washing glasses don't work. And I don't find the problem. Pump, fusible are OK. But I can't hear the sound of pumps. When I pressed a relay washes the glasses of the lamps working.

Left out the 3 presets you can get your Landover to do with the 3rd land rover button on your key fob! Or did i just teach you that? Lol. Jk. Can set it to drop the landy, or open tailgate or turn headlights on from a distance. Also you didn't show how to reset moon roof if not functional.

[@JayTeeCars]

Yep.. in theory that isn’t so much of a secret as it is in the handbook. I have mine set to switch the lights on/off, as I find that the most helpful. Thanks for the feedback.

[@chrisconstantino9827]

I'm so torn on getting an LR3 or not. Are they really that pricey?

In the UK they are low price to purchase for the amount of car. You need to be aware of potential costs as they can be expensive to fix, but I have only paid out £900 on service and repairs in the last 2 years.

One thing I find fascinating and amusing about Land Rover is the controls like the ones you've outlined here. The fact that, if you do push-holds and repeated actions a certain number of times, you receive a new function--that is a really cool bonus.

[@adelejones3746]

Mine's a 2008 SE TDV6. A few comments. The radio button does not allow access to the information, regardless of ignition or the radio being on and off. It may be the model and a restriction in the spec. The boot opening....yes it opens it to the first click, but then needs another press on the unlock to fully allow it to be opened. With the double button press alone, it cannot be opened at the rear. Thanks for the info! Love the little LED above the mirror, it's only when you are on dip or full that the dash info light is on, crazy that it doesn't show a sidelight function.

LR2 are good but prone to rust in body and chassis, as they are now 15 to 20 years old you need to pick one that either has been looked after or parts replaced. They are lower price to fix than LR3/4, and easier to modify.
