Read fault codes, otherwise you are just guessing. Could be anything from brake light switch, to rear diff lock motor, etc.

Sorry to hear about your headaches. These V8's are really not known for head gasket problems, or any other real flaws for that matter. Not to say it couldn't be the case, but especially without over...

Strong, reliable, spacious, excellent off road, easy to maintain yourself, under R200k- Disco 3 V8 every time.

Makes sense what you are saying. I just grew up adding a bit of copper grease to wheelnuts when putting them back and I have never really thought about it too much. Always worked nicely for me and...

What about adding some copper grease to the wheelnuts before tightening?

Hi guys, I'm really hoping someone might be able to help me.

I know there have been numerous posts and feeds on this, trust me I have read every single one of them.

My Disco 3 (2009 V8 with...

Unfortunately can't help you, but just out of interest; I did exactly the same. Sold my 19's on the disco 3 with general grabber AT3 255/55R19 and got a set of 18" disco rims with 265/65R18's cooper...

Thanks. The cheapest I can find the OEM iridium NGK IFR5N-10 plugs is R250 per plug. Thats a lot of money! But if they last 140k km and work really well it might be worth it I guess.

I realise it is about 9 years later since this thread was started.... I want to change the plugs on my D3 V8 this week. Is the suggestion still the platinum plug? For example the Bosch one? Or would...

Funny you say that, I was so surprised to find a pirelli scorpio 255/55R19 to buy at a small tyre place at a petrol station in Divundu. We had two spares and lost one tyre on the trip up to that...

I bought my D3 V8 HSE with 255/55R19 General Grabber AT3's. We did a Namibia, khaudum, caprivi, vic falls and botswana trip a year ago, heavy loaded with roof rack and four people in the car- no real...

I also think you might be referring to the 5.0 V8 in the D4. They commonly have some timing chain problems. Having driven one recently to compare it to the 4.4 V8 in the D3 my experience was that it...

I also have a 2009 D3 V8, 150k km on the clock and absolutely bullet proof so far. I replaced the plastic T piece with a copper one I bought at a gas shop, other than that I do oil changes every 12k...

Haha that would be great. Smiles per gallon are as many as the L/100km at least. Knew it was going to be heavy, so no complaints from me.

I use an app called car logbook on my phone, when you...

This is the data from my D3 V8. Mixed driving over the past year or so. Including 7500km trip though nam, caprivi, vic falls and botswana.

Does anyone have experience with a D3 V8 in the sand/dunes? How capable are they for that?

Hi all

Is there by any chance someone in or around the Pietermaritzburg area with a Land Rover D3/D4 roof rack that we could rent or buy for a two week overlanding trip through the Caprivi end of...

I like what I'm hearing!!!

Thanks George, I'm going to give him a call tomorrow. I think my search for a V8 has started... Does the V8 also need the double gearbox flush like the TDV6? Other than the coolant system, suspension...

I’ve heard somewhere that the TDV6 with an M16 crank bolt instead of M14 is less likely to break? Is this nonsense?

Thanks for the advice!

The one I'm looking at's oil light went out immediately when I started it after standing for a week.

Thank you George and Mike. Would potential bearing damage from low oil pressure on cold starts not already be done? I've started browsing for a V8...I've always wanted a V8 in my life. Also I wont be...

Thank you for the advice! Does the 2005/2006 have a better oil pump?

Would R100k then be a new sub from LR? And do you think that will include labour and all the other stuff that will need replacing?

R150k

How much would an oil pump replacment set me back? More or less?

Thanks so much. What would one’s options be if the crank does go bang? It is still R150k+ or nothing?

I’ve heard that there are “top up” options for aftermarket warranties? Or would it still cover...

Hi guys

IÂ’m sorry if this has been asked a million times...but IÂ’d still like to ask your educated opinion if I may.

IÂ’m looking at buying a D3 TDV6 S. Belonged to a friends dad from new,...
