OFFICIAL Land Rover thread.

You guys who own anything JLR are crazy. After having to work on a few dozen of them. They are 100% a pain in the ass. At least the new ones are.

I honestly don't find them any different than a modern BMW to work on, which I also don't find THAT bad.

I drive my Range probably 90% of the time (it is my daily) and find it more comfortable than anything else, while towing stuff and going to home depot!

LANDCRUISER will fix all your shop time woes.


*ducks and runs

! Has a 2in lift, 33" mudders, ARB front bumper, winch, and a few other cool goodies.

My only gripe with it is how tippy and unstable the truck feels over 60mph. From my understanding, new bushings everywhere can help with this? Any other tips of the trade I should look into?

Yes bushes will help, but your running 285/55's MTs those just feel like that no matter what you do, its just how they are. The Cooper ST Maxxes are a little better, but its just how they are in this size type. Thats a lot of side wall of course they are going to squirm a little bit when you swap directions at speed

Marketing victim!

Same here :rofl:

I've been eyeing up the LR3 lately, thinking how nice one with a solid coil 2" lift conversion with some meaty tires would look

[Rob]

And yet I still lust after them. Marketing victim!

^having worked on an RRC, I can tell you the old ones are a pain in the ass to. The wiring is mayhem

Looks good! Do the springs seem soft and kind of wallow-y? Like maybe it was lifted with spacers and not stiffer springs? Stock ones are pretty soft and they roll a lot. We put Old Man Emu kit on our '95, so it was 2" higher but really firm and controlled.

That's a really good question. I purchased the Disco from a buddy of mine, so i'll have to ask him what springs were installed. The ride is firm over bumps and such but it definitely has a lot of roll, especially over 50mph

I dig the Disco!


I posted pics elsewhere, but I brought the RR up north again and got the gf behind the wheel for the first time!

Thanks! That's a really sweet rig as well

Hi guys.

New to Land Rover but always lusted for one from afar. Well I got my opportunity to get into a 97' Disco I that was outfitted to my liking! Has a 2in lift, 33" mudders, ARB front bumper, winch, and a few other cool goodies.

My only gripe with it is how tippy and unstable the truck feels over 60mph. From my understanding, new bushings everywhere can help with this? Any other tips of the trade I should look into?

Got to tow my future BiL's GMC Yukon out of a muddy backyard two nights ago. After all the shit he gave me for purchasing my "Mommy Minivan" it not only drove right up the muddy sideways hill without so much as a moment of wheel spin, it pulled his shiny new SUV with brand new tires on it up that same hill :rofl:

We've used the E39/E38 General Modules in them, so possibly. The programming is probably different however. You also need to figure out EWS as its paired between the Key/DME/EWS Module

My thought is, if we can modify a BMW ecu to remove EWS, then can it be done on a Range Rover? I just havn't been able to figure this out and I don't really have the time o buy a range rover and find out, lol...My wife might kill me for taking on another project like that.
