    US Northwest WTB - Swing out tire carrier LR-3

    Looking for a non hitch mounted swing out spare carrier for my 2006 LR-3. If anyone has one they are removing or bought and never got around to mounting let me know. Prefer the PNW to save shipping but open to options.

    How do you clean engine bay?

    Check out the video on You Tube by Sweet Project Cars. They use tire cleaner spray and use air to blow it off. I was thinking what most of you are thinking as I watched it but it works and I have done it on several vehicles since. Some heavy grime takes a few swipes with a brush but no water, no...

    2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 Build

    Sorry for posting here but could not figure out how to post pics on the private side. Top pic shows what the 2003 front case looks like notice no spigot/nipple for CDL. First step in actual removal (after all the connections, front driveline, wye pipe and TC supports are out of the way) is to...

    2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 Build

    I saw that and the guys in Utah have one too. My thought was to find a full case, do the swap for my rig and sell the donor with my non locking nose piece on it. I think I paid like $215.00 + Tax for the whole case from LKQ. I think I can get like $150 for my old one on CL.

    2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 Build

    @Seamanrob That is a good starting point. There are also some good posts on landroverforums.com. The issue I had with the directions you are mentioning is that it was made more difficult I assume because they were using an older case. I used a 2004 case and it is literally pulling the bolts off...

    2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 Build

    Well, like all great Land Rover improvements one issues goes away and a few others fill the void. Remember, the 4.6 is just a stroked 4.0. Nice thing about the Discos is the wealth of information out there and the trucks are old enough that they are much easier to work on. Download the RAVE...

    2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 Build

    Looks great!! When I built my 03 I just pulled the front output section from a low mile transfer case with the locking nipple and did the swap. Much easier than a full swap and I knew what my transfer case condition was versus a donor. I used a PTO/drag shifter cable and the factory bracket on...

    2003 Discovery SE

    Right on, if you have not ordered the thermostat yet, buy the genuine 180F stat. The motor rad versions are hit and miss (tried two before going genuine). Once you have that in you can expect a little better control. I would also look into an Ultra Gauge set up as the factory temp gauge is...

    2003 Discovery SE

    I would dig a bit deeper into it. 174K miles there should be some pretty good history on the standard culprits. Find out when the head gaskets were done last at the min. If and when they need to be done it can get fairly expensive if you do not do your own work. I did a recent end to end...
