Not just the darian gap but chaple gate stanage edge hollingsclough tenterhill gatsgarth pass wal na scar road and others in my mind and what I've driven its unbeatable is the range rover classic with the auto box
I want to buy a used LR3 2009 in Mexico and this information is very helpful for me since I never had this make, but checking everything it is not different from any other used car. Thanks a lot. Just 1 question, you haven't change the air suspension that seems to be a very common failure on them. I have found a struts replacement for less than $ 500 usd in USA. People does not like to buy top of the line used cars because spare parts are expensive, but If you look on ebay or any other part on the net you can get spare parts at reasonable price.
Cracking vids and content mate but really don't like the job you've done on the wheel centres. Painting over the logo is a bit rough. You can buy black centres for the wheels for about £10 to £15 and although the black would not be a paint match to the wheels it would of been a lot better of a job.
Great video! I am trying to do the same for my LR4. As I see you used R17 discs, did they fit well with front breaks? I am thinking to buy such, but found in internet that they will not work with front breaks...
There is easier way to do it if you are having difficulty accessing it. remove the spare wheel. and sit down inside, remove the metal bracket and rotate it. you can easily remove the whole assembly and do the repair and put it back.
Super wyprawa Super rodzinka Super tata Super widoki Pozdrawiam cię kolego Życzę dużo zdrowia szczęścia i radości Miło na was patrzeć Też mam Landrover Discovery 3 I za rok jede do Norwegii z dziećmi Pozdrawiam 👍💪
Thank you again! Family is the best and a trip to Norway is definitely worth it. I hope you will get a nice trip and some good weather on your way. Where are you driving from? Poland I'm guessing.
Hey, sorry for the late reply, had to translate your comment, didn't auto translate on my phone. Glad the video can help and the socket/spanner size is 32mm on mine. Same as the wheel hub nut I belive. 😊 Best, Simon.
great skills and lovely to see 2 fine young lads enjoying that beautiful Classic. I had a 1985 Balmoral Classic manual 3.5 carb and am about to purchase my fourth 3.9 Vogue on a 1994 plate
Thank you bill! Always a great time when Erik brings his Classic. The 1985 is my favorite year, and is on the top of my list of LRs I want to own at some point. 😊 Fourth 3.9, I would be happy just to get one. 😊 A solid one here is getting too expensive.
Whaaaat, I’m I way off, not sure I’m following here Rob. 😅 On this switch, it’s one in and two out. Almost like a super simple left-right indicator switch. And I’m having trouble seeing the point of the switch configuration, when is that useful. 😊😊 Maybe just me. 😂
I can't see an led on the switch, so I doubt it's for that. Simon it is almost like you say, an indicator switch. Off, or the left on or the right on. You won't be able to use it for 1 light or 2 lights, unless you had 3 lights 😂
You need to buy the spring-loaded hood light that lights up the engine bay. Excellent, the bar doesn't damage the hood, and the magnetic light makes working on your vehicle easier
Yeah, that would be really nice and It's on the list of light mods that I want to do. 👍 I think I will do a lot more camping lights upgrades come fall. Really fun doing these nice little mod jobs. 😊
Good work Simon. I note others are impressed too. Now you have the job skills for that installation, fit a light strip under the leading edge (front) of the bonnet (hood). Just remember to turn it off. Lol. 👍🏻🙏🦘
Hehe, will have to add a closing switch like there is on the doors. I would never remember... 😊 But leading edge is noted and should be a fun job. First the bonnet struts I keep forgetting about.
Hi Simon, and yeah, I think I won the battery lottery back in 2014. 👍 The camping lights turned out great and must be one of my favourite upgrades thus far. And the trip was great and can't wait to show it off. Will be some weeks before it is done. 😅
Thanks for doing all the working out with the lights as I need to do similar in my Disco , also I'm glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with those switches, I blew a couple of fuses before I got it figured out. One other thing is that I also have an extra fuse box in the rear but I fitted mine behind the panel and cut an access hole and made a cover for it. It keeps the fuses etc out of the cabin and still allows you to add electrics with out having to take the panel out. Oh, and I'd send that battery back under warranty if I were you. Eight and a half years doesn't sound all that long to me!
Happy to share what I have done and learned. I still don't understand why one would need such a switch, but maybe it will come to me one day. I will see where it all will end up in the end, but easy access is the most important, and a hatch like yours is a smart solution. 👍 Fuses is there to saves us when we do stupid stuff, why I fuse everything and fuse it a bit lower than the expected maximum just to be on the safe side. 😊
My battery gave up this week (no warnings, it just failed) so have bought a replacement, not installed yet. Mine is also AGM and the vehicle is a 2014 year model, so it has lasted 10 years.
10 Years is amazing, a testament to the AGM technology. You are located in Australia right, so way on the other side of the temp-spectrum as well. What type/model battery did you have? 2014 has the smart alternator I belive.
@@LandRoverDrive I got a Centuary battery, I think they are an Australian brand. I drive a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with the Hemi V8, awesome vehicle, I was looking for a Land Rover Discovery 4 with the supercharged V8 but nothing reasonable in my price range, so I bought the Jeep.
@@Peter-xtreme Cool, seen the brand in videos from Australia so your probably on to something. Don't think you can go wrong with a Jeep, and with a Hemi V8, that's more than true. 😊 I didn't know the D4 came with a supercharged V8 version, don't think they were ever delivered here in Norway at least. Supercharged V8 in a disco, that is now my goal...
I like your solution for the light as I am looking to do the same sort of thing although I have a sort of work lamp LED strip which is very bright so thanks for all the brain work! I'd send that battery back under warranty, 8 and a half years seems a bit short to me!
Thanks! And to be honest, the type of led I ended up was a bit of luck as I was running out of time and had to get some new ones as the first solution failed, as you can see in part 1 if you haven't. 😉 Running wires is the fun part and was happy with how it all turned out in the end. And about sending the battery back, hard to get the sarcasm while reading text, but 8.5 years is good right? 😅
Hei og takk! Det kommer en egen video på dual battery install, blir å filme den I løpet av sommeren så det er klart til høsten. Jeg må også få meg fjernstyring av FBH så jeg kan kjøre den før oppstart. Jeg har ikke fått fikset det enda. 😅 Hey and thank you! There will be a separate video about the duel battery install, will film it this summer I hope so it's ready this fall. And I need to fix the remote control system for the FBH so I can pre warm it, I haven't done that yet. 😅 Best, Simon
Ja, du har bra videos, ja det vore grymt med vilken storlek på batterier/storlek mm. samt vars du tänkte placera extra batteriet osv, bästa vore ju att få plats i motorrummet. men då vi har dieselvärmare är det tight. Märker att orginal batteriet på 95ah inte riktigt räcker till när det är riktigt kallt och man behöver köra dieselvärmare ofta. Följer 🎉
Takk takk! 🙏 😊 Morro å høre at du liker videoene og takk for at du har subscribet. 👍 Det kommer storlek og typ batteri I nesta video på båda batterier, og jeg forteller kjapt om hvor ekstrabatteriet skal stå og hvordan jeg tenker å koble de sammen. Hvilket batteri er det du har? 95Ah burde holde greit hvis den har et bra CCA, mine har 850A CCA som har fungert bra I mange år. Bilen er ikke helt happy når den starter opp når det er skikkelig kaldt.
When it comes to building things , drawer systems , ect, i watch many videos to see if someone has a better solution than mine , also i usually have a metal wire i can tape any electrical wire to so i can snake it through , are you planning too buy a second gullwing panel for passenger side , i went on land rover passion site to look at gullwing interior storage box and watched the video installation sold me so yes buy the box even tho you like to access interior without having gullwing storage box stopping from access, i have decided im buying the gullwing panel and storage box the gullwing is expensive with box around 1k us another company makes on for D2 much cheaper gullwing panel just makes sense enhance the way your vehicle looks for me on portable power i use gold zero yeti 500 im planning to buy the 3000 one both can use solar to recharge battery or shore power to recharge unit, you know you can buy a dc to dc charger that uses alternator to charge batteries while you are driving but i like to carry a small generator as back up i use coleman telescope pole and use my kerosene lantern, i haven't done much on the interior of my lr3 except the mollie panels from land rover passion, with the rear seat folded down makes a nice sleeping area , really don't need a rooftop tent, i have the arb soft rooftop tent but i want a Ikamper hard shell 3.0 the price is 4 times what i paid for my lr3 , crazy for now i just use my arb , you talked about when door up on gullwing if raining interior get wet for myself no big deal , they do sell a 270 awning i only have the arb 2500x2500 good enough due to my 23 zero shower room mounted on driver side , i notice your roof rack who makes that one , i prefer front-runner rack because unlimited mounting accessories easier , i like fall & winter camping no bugs , snakes, only bears and wolves you need keep eye on if in the area i won't camp if bears are near by here in usa Americans love their guns i take my rifle, shotgun, and 10mm only for protection some people have bear spay & say lay down play dead that be hard to do when a 500. Pound is hungry or a mother bear with cubs and forget climbing a tree they climb better than humans this is why its best talk with park ranger on any dangers, yellowstone national park can be very dangerous lots of bears & wolves, i love the 11 western states for camping i want to do and Alaska road trip i live in texas to Anchorage Alaska 4000 miles each way round trip in a land rover lr3 that gets 14 miles per gallon on a 22.8 gallon tank that 386 mile range in us is 4.4 v8 that requires premium gas at 4 to 6 dollar a gallon that 5000 in round trip gas it be much cheaper to fly, but the journey is the destination. as well as being in Alaska, there is a company that has overlanding vehicles, complete everything but food to rent the vehicles are toyota Tacoma trucks rooftop tent and more yeah i know im rambling 😊
The AGM batteries are overall the better choice for most post 2000 cars. The one I'm about to replace, coming up in part 2, will have been in the car for around 7 years. I have had the car for 10 years now, and my alternator failed on me and I replaced the battery at the same time, as Erik told me that a failing alternator could kill the battery and a bad battery could kill the alternator. To answer your question, the AGM likes a bit higher voltage, typical 0.4v more than a lead acid, both in bulk, absorption and float state. Most modern smart charges support agm batteries. And the AGM batteries handles the D3's alternators charge in a good way. With outside temperatures, short vs long trips, life cycles, battery capacity and variable charging voltages from the alternator, being factors that will affect the life expectancy, the D3's charging is a small part. I tend to give the battery a maintenance charge before every long trip I go on, so around 10 times spread over the year. Are you planning to change out the battery?
@LandRoverDrive wow great explanation. Yes planning to change out the battery. So maintenance charge, is that recommended? I usually just leave it up to the alternator, but was always wondering about buying a maintenance charger.
Hey and sorry for the late reply. A agm battery is said to be maintenance free, but I recommend doing run a maintenance charge every three months with a good charger that has the correct charging setup/algorithm. Most new smart chargers handles agm so don't have to be an expensive one. I do this to make sure that the battery get's a "top off" charge, because I don't really know what the alternator is doing all the time or the state of the alternator. So this has been my rutine and as you will see in the new video released today, it seems to be the way to go... 😉
Hi Simon, I fitted 2 similar led lights in the top tailgate about where you plan to fit yours. I also put a switch next to them, they are 9w .75a and provide plenty of light over my slide out kitchen.
Nice, I thought it would be a good place to put them. I have some bad experiences with poor lighting, in terms of placement, but luckily I have learned and are taking it into account this time. 😊 I’m not sure the light output or the amp draw of the lights, but it can’t be much. I love these kind of jobs, cozy jobs I call them in Norwegian.
Simon, it would have been easier to buy a strip light that self sticks along the rear of the tailgate. I fitted one under the bonnet (hood) which is brilliant (pun intended).
😂 Yeah, you are very right. Wait for part two and you see that our mind’s work alike. 😉 I need to do the same in my engine bay. But first the bonnet needs new struts. I always forget to order them until I need to do something. 😅 Best, Simon
