    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    I've read through this whole thread and still undecided on tires... I think I've narrowed it down to either the KO2's or the Cooper AT3 LT's, anyone have experience with both? I don't plan to use them in the winter so snow and ice performance doesn't matter much to me, however we do get some...

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    Update: Got her home and all is well! I did an oil change right off the bat, replaced the rear brake pads and rotors, drive belts and the battery. It also needed an alignment, but everything is running like new now. Had it looked over by the local Rover specialist here and they gave it a clean...

    I will try to post some pics for sure once I pick it up and get it home!

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    Thanks again to everyone here - I had the truck inspected today and everything checked out. The only pressing issue is the rear brake pads and rotors (~30% left, so not even that bad), everything else looks to be in good shape. I managed to get some more history on it too. Turns out the...

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    Nice! All good info here, thanks again! Parking brake is working fine apparently, no other known electrical issues. The car is in Vancouver and has been there since new, so likely has not seen a lot of harsh winter weather (i.e. hopefully not a lot of rust underneath from salty roads) I...

    I like how you said “WHEN you do buy it...” hahaha! It’s all but in the bag now I guess. GAP tool is definitely on the radar.

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    So, overall I’m getting the feeling there’s not a *huge* amount of risk by going ahead with this? I’ve tried to do my homework and have been looking for one of these for awhile but they all seem to have a ton of miles on them or have been abused (or both!) This is by far the lowest mileage...

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    HSE, no HD pack, I think all Canadian cars came with the cold weather pack except the very base models. With regards to diffs, if the rear ends up needing a rebuild at some point how much work would it be to add a locking rear? Am I correct that ARB has a rear air locker kit for these vehicles?

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    They're asking ~$10k (Canadian). I'm guessing it will be negotiable depending on the outcome of the inspection. If everything is in good condition I think that's not too unreasonable.

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    I probably won’t get a chance to road test the car before committing to anything, it’s just too far away. I’m depending on the garage that does the PPI to provide me with as much useful info as possible...

    85,000 Mile LR3?

    Hey all, would like to introduce myself here (hi!) and have a couple quick questions about a potential vehicle I'm looking at. First just want to say that I've been lurking here for ages and finally decided to sign up and looking forward to learning and contributing here. I've owned a few...
