Had my 4.4 for just over a week now and I'm really liking it, the P38 may have to go as this is so much better

Hello; new D3 owner
Hi there,
I'm a new owner to a Disco 3, 07 plate, with 136k on the clock. It's been a needs must purchase due to a new / different school run my wife has to do. Up a 1 in 4 in Ramsbottom.
The whole experience is rather emotional - never thought I'd be able to have another Landrover - used to have a C reg petrol 90 - but prices have dropped enough, so we've waded in - it doesn't drive like a Landrover - that's been a bit of a shock really. Used to be in Yorkshire Rover Owners club and enjoyed RTV's, so we'll have to see what the future holds. With 6 of us in the family we do need the space / seats, and it's a nice replacement for our Ford Galaxy 05 plate Tdi (115) with 175k on it, which I will miss - lovely driver still.
We're still in the hand over phase with garage after the engine management light was on when I test drove it, paid and took it home. They're saying it is the EGR valves so they're doing that work - I expect they're replacing, rather than blanking off - I will ask what they did when it's done. Of course, I'm happy to be here and learn. I'm a mechanical engineer (design office) by trade and not opposed to a bit of spannering, I just have very little time and appreciate there'll be learning curve to working on one of these.
Best regards,
Charles

Hi all!
Thanks for the membership, I have owned my 2016 LR4 Discovery with 60k on the clocks for almost 5 days now, still everything works good. I have wanted a LR or RR for many years, and now was the time Found out that the life is to short to have boring cars . Sold a norwegian-sold Triumph TR4A IRS this spring. I had it for 20 years. Also rides motorbikes, and of cus there is a Triumph Thunderbird Sport in my garage among other bikes.

Glad to join the Land rover family. Just hope my 2010 GS will be reliable. However, I am not holding my breath.

Hi just bought a Disco 4 Landmark
Hi all just joined the Disco 4 club and looking for your support! was directed to your site as a great place to find answers. Was advised not to use the auto hand break but have been using this on a RR Sport with no issues? Do you need to use the hand break all the time or just place in park? saw a conversation on the pre heater is this forum so was also wondering if this is automatic in the Disco 4?

Welcome. Probably better to ask your questions in a dedicated thread on one of the forums.
I use the EPB every time I park the vehicle. Nothing to it, works great. It’s one of those “use it or lose it” kind of things.

Hello
Hi Everybody.
I have an off-road modified D2 as my weekend toy at the moment but am wanting to upgrade to an early model year D3 in the near future to get a little more comfort on those longer drives! I'm hoping to soak up as much as I can from the forums to help me make a better choice when I eventually make the move.
Cheers,
Graeme

Hi Guys
Just putting my head above the parapet as I'm an interloper from the RRSPORT forum, but as your forum has a wealth of knowledge, I thought I would sneak in & get some good info. Although my off roading at most is climbing a pavement I did do an experience day & was astonished at the capability of these cars

Afternoon all, it's a bit moist here in North Nottinghamshire at the moment.
I've just ventured across from the ffrr site for a bit of advice.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the 322, she's been a fantastic vehicle, very reliable.
I'm not sure wether to go for a 405, or a D4.
To be honest I've heard some horror stories about both, especially the 3 ltr diesel chewing it's crank.
Is this a very common occurrence?
I had a D3 for a few years, and it was a fine motor.
What do I need to look out for if I go down the D4 route?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
