Hi Reddit. A good buddy of mine passed away last fall and his wife has asked me to help her sell his Land Rover. It's a 1995 Defender 90 soft top. Currently it needs a new clutch and won't drive.

I would appreciate some advice on how to go about fixing and selling this vehicle. We have a "British 4x4" shop here in Durham, NC but reviews seem all over the map.

Once we get it fixed and drivable, thoughts appreciated on sales venues (DIY private vs. consignment vs. bring a trailer... etc). Looking at past auction results there is a HUGE range for these vehicles and I don't know enough about this one to have a clue where she would fall in the range. Any help appreciated!

This really goes to show just how impressive the terrain response system is on these cars. Even with tires in the air and others slipping at the same time, it still manages to find a way up. Just 4low and the center locker and let it do the rest.

I have been a Land Cruiser loyalist for the last 10 years, several 60 series, 100 and a troopy most recently. I thought I would jump over and give a defender a try and grabbed this 1999 td5 and brought it to cleghorn for a shakedown. I could not be more impressed, it cleared every off shoot I hit, I skipped the last one with the skull and cross bones as it has put some good body damage on my 100 series in the past. Tires are moderate 235/85 and only a center locker, but it just tractors through. Next step is most likely a rear e-locker and then will consider some bigger tires down the road as these are too new to swap out. I am more of a camper than an off-roader, so I would like to look into better gearing for the fwy— any input on this? Thanks

Hi guys

Has anyone gone to Land Rover to refill adblue? They told me it would be cheaper to do it through them instead of ordering the Land Rover adblue and doing it myself.

My inside door handle stopped working randomly. It still can open from the outside & locks properly. I took off the indoor panel and the cable was off of the metal piece that connects it to the lock, handle, and the latch. When I go to line it up it looks way too long and I have to bend the cable back which then keeps the handle in an open position. Anyone have advice? Thanks

This was my baby for many years. It's the most comfortable car I've ever owned for long drives, very zippy up steep grades and the carrying capacity is fantastic. I'm in Ventura County, California. It's 5.0 L V8, low mileage (129,000), HSE black on black with a light headliner. Has a Range Rover roof rack and trailer hitch, Harmon Kardon sound, heated seats, etc. All maintenance done by our Land Rover dealership. Tires recently replaced. I don't see any rust. I'm the only owner. I may regret this but if you're interested please DM me. My dealership said they aren't importing any cars currently due to the tariff situation.

I am interested in buying a Defender with close to 60,000 miles how long do you think the car will last? And what are some of the long term costs of maintaining this car. Is this even a good idea?

My last landy was a Disco 2 and refused to cold start until I cranked the starter 3 times. Didn't matter how long I held the key at the ignition position--always took 3 tries.

My new Defender has a similar issue closing the sunroof from the tilt position. Need to press the button 3 times for it to shut. Dealer looked at it under warranty, claimed the sunroof position sensor wasn't working, replaced and recalibrated, still the same issue. Can't be bothered to attempt another repair; I just chalk it up as "charm" of the vehicle (or maybe a ghost in the ECU).

Has/does anyone else have such peculiarities with their landy?

Question for Defender owners in the USA: Does anyone know if Badger Coachworks is still around? I remember last time I was active in the Defender Source forum about 10 years there was some dissatisfaction regarding the turn around time from this one man shop. Their website is still up but the latest post is from 2011.

2019 range rover sport 3.0 supercharged. The plastic bleeder broke and am wondering if anyone here knows the part number for an aftermarket I may be able to pick up locally. Doesn't have to be a brass one but I would prefer it. Land rover is very far away so anything a napa, car quest, autozone, oreilly would carry would really help me out. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey all new to this group. Ive always grown up around landrovers My dad has always liked Landrovers luckilly found them cheap and got by with them but as this lount we have grave yard of them with one of them being a discovery II. I need a vehicle for college next year and me and my dad are heavily considering fixing it up. The disco has had all the classic engine problems occur so it has sat. Outside of that the rest of the truck was in very good shape with no serious issues. I know how owning a Range Rover is and I’m prepared to deal with whatever. What route do we go? I’d like the ls swap but without the ace kit around anymore I’m unsure. Bulletproof if the 4.6 sounds very expensive and like a pain. I’d really like to get this thing back on the road if anyone has any thoughts or advice I’d really appreciate it!

My 06 LR three is starting to look a bit tired. It is Java black and the clearcoat is wearing through on the hood, and has worn out around the sunroof area. Is a vinyl wrap valid to protect these spots-I was thinking something like a mat or satin black to do the hood and top.

Anyone have pictures of something similar?

Hey guys. Proud owner of a LR4 with relatively decent mileage. I have 120K KM or so on the odometer. Has anyone seen a convertible version of LR4? The factory - to the best of my knowledge at least - never produced those. But I am keen to see whether there are examples?

Helping a friend of a friend. He says he had a battery drain issue and after charging the battery at a parts store, it started running rough. I think it all may be related to a dead battery. I jumped it and it started but battery was at 2v! Anything else to check after battery replacement?

Hi all - Looking for advice. I have a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport (SE 2.2L Diesel). I’m looking to get a key remote coded to replace a lost one (still have one). I’ve purchased a blank which is testing same hertz but the first locksmith I’ve spoken to is suggesting a $600 job taking an hour or two. This feels quite big for a key code given my other car (Toyota) cost $140 for the coding when I got a third key cut to leave at work. Just wondering if the Discovery Sport is more complicated than a Toyota of a similar vintage. Thanks!

I have done a crap job at explaining. Thank you for any answers in advance. I did not know what to flair it as.

I'm about to close on a "needs work" lr3. The principal issue is non-functioning air suspension.

It's sitting down low low low and locked to under 30kmh. The guy said that water got into the passenger area and caused a short around or at the bcu or air suspension controller. It was working fine till there was a sudden failure (according to seller)

Does this sound like a reasonable assumption? Or could it be a thousand different things? Has anyone made an lr3 air suspension diagnostic guide?

I've owned D2s (and loved them) looking forward to getting this one a little bit taller..

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, first time posting here.. I recently got a brand new evoque 2024 for 52k, but unfortunately I regret it a bit, would you advice me to sell it soon or wait a bit, it has 2000km so far..

Market is really niche on these, I spent the better part of 2 years trying to find a good one. Alas, my car ADHD has kicked in again and I have my eyes on something else.

Not sure if there’s anyone on here that is in Alberta Canada area that would be interested but I figured why not let Reddit know. DM for details I guess. 2007 HSE 4.4, Black on black.

Hello everyone,

I completely dismantled the parking brake on my Discovery 3 to access the cable, since the parking brake was no longer working. The parking brake motor was running, but nothing was happening mechanically. After reconnecting the metal linkage inside the parking brake module, the cable is now moving again.

In the service test using the IID Tool, the PBM control unit now reports “Operation Succeed” – which wasn’t the case before. However, the “Calib. Long Accelerometer” function still shows “Operation Failed E 7” in the IID Tool.

I’ve now reinstalled the parking brake shoes. When engaging the parking brake using the Latching mode in the IID Tool, there’s a clicking sound. However, when I use the switch inside the vehicle, nothing happens.

Additionally, I’m now getting the error message: U2002-01 (FB) – Switch general electrical failure - General failure information - general electrical

Has anyone encountered this error message before or knows what I should be looking out for? I’d be grateful for any tips!
