Supercharged?
Hi all, I'm looking at 2013 Range Rover Sports right now and I'm having trouble with which engine to focus on. Help me decide between the 375 hp 5L v8 or the 510 hp supercharged. I have an LR3, which I will still have, so either will be more power. As I was discussing this with my...- Rogo

The Notch
The Notch on Pole Hill trail overlooking Estes Park, Colorado. I saw a 6x6 and a Wrangler Rubicon at the top, and a brand new 4Runner with a nervous driver on his way up. Nice moderate trail with great views. I also did Pierson Park trail. Also a good trail that offers a good balance for a... -
Spark Plug Service
I am coming up on 90K miles (100 miles to go!), so its time to figure out the spark plugs. I believe the recommended service time is 90K. I will go with the stock plugs. Not sure where I'll get them yet, but I can do some searching on that. I have 3 questions on this: How difficult is... -
Another Battery Question
I think its about time to replace my battery, but I wanted to ping the collective and get your thoughts. This winter has been very mild, but on the coldest days so far (10-20 deg F), my LR3 will throw error messages on screen for a brief moment at start-up. I think if we had a typical Chicago... -
Coolant Leak - Easy Fix - Check Yours!
So another thread on here talks about fluctuating tach. Mine had been doing that ever so slightly, and so after seeing someone recommend cleaning the throttle body, I thought duh, I haven't ever done that. With 85K miles I figured it was time. That went swimingly, but in inspecting under the... -
Check Engine Light
... I read the codes at my local auto parts store. It came up as P0128 - Coolant Thermostat - Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Temperature So I am thinking two things: 1) do I trust the code as read? 2) has anyone DIY replaced your thermostat yet? Almost exactly one year ago, another... -
Brake Bleeding
Has anyone bled their brakes? Anyone have experience with the Castrol GTLMA that Atlantic British sells? How much fluid capacity does the brake system have? Thanks! :biggrin: -
Stalling?
Hey all, I just returned from a great trip - from Chicagoland to DeSmet SD (Laura Ingalls homestead - 9 year old daughter - worth the stop), Badlands, Black Hills, Little Bighorn, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and back home. All told over 3800 miles in 2 weeks. The truck performed... -

I know tires have been beaten to death, but...
I am deciding between the three tries below: BFG AT T/A KO 265/65/18 GY Wrangler SA 265/65/18 GY Wrangler SA 265/60/18 - load rating 109 Anyone running the 265/65 size experience any rubbing? Maybe the BFGs rub and the GYs don't? I don't have the lift trickery. I know about Mr... -
Rear Seat DVD System
Another question: I bought my 05 LR3 used and it does not have the flip down DVD player. I am thinking about either having the dealer install, or buying it and installing it myself. Has anyone installed either the LR DVD player or similar? -
Seeking Advice - Rear Bumper
Just got back from doing some trail driving. Lots of ruts, ravines and creek crossings. Good fun. However, I hit hard on my rear bumper. I was dropping down into a ditch, and the greater angle in front was fine, but the rear angle is smaller, so I caught it on the way down. I think I hit... -
Offroad First Timer
Hey all - relatively new to the forum, and definitely new to offroading. Took our first trip last weekend. Went to Badlands Offroad park in Attica, IL (we're from Chicago area - anyone else out here near us?) and had a blast. Wandered aimlessly through sand dunes, mud, and hills - next time... -
Towing - Hitch Weight
Question about towing capaicty - I know that the LR3 can handle 7700 lbs total trailer weight, and I've seen several posts with examples of folks towing 6500-7000 lbs, but what about hitch weight? The vehicle is rated at 550 lbs hitch weight. Does the 6500 lb boat or 7000 lb car hauler exceed...
