This D2 forum is soooo well supported and active, it makes owning my Range Rover Sport less fun because there's essentially ZERO online community for it. No DIYs have been made, no known issues have been posted and discussed, little is out there in the way of parts support. Bleh. What do any of you with newer models do for quenching the enthusiast thirst?

 

I agree, and beyond Rovers, the forums I've tried to use for a Honda Accord and a Honda CR-V have been jokes compared to this forum. Heck, the other LR forums that used to be well-trafficked are shadows of their former selves.

 

I have a LR3 and find that there is less but I keep taking a logical approach to faults and mods. Keep in mind a lot of the Range Rover Sport fixes or problems are identical to issues for the same year LR3/4. Many of the systems are a direct cross over. So are most of the suspension upgrades.

The forum is only as good as the owners of the vehicles sharing knowledge and doing the write ups. I need to sit down and do a few write ups on rear hub bearings. I have done so many of them, I could probably complete it by feel now.

So encourage others to create content by creating some of your own. I have also been slacking on event write ups.

Admittedly if you look in the what did you do to your LR3 today thread you will notice I have been busy lol

 

Good job Army Rover! I love my D2 but have been contemplating on also picking up a LR3 since they are affordable now. Is there a particular model/engine that is desireable? I heard they came in a v6 or v8 configuration. What year is most desireable? Thanks...

 

V8 is the only choice in my book for the LR3. I would skip the 05 LR3’s but that is just my personal thing about not buying the first year of a model lol.

 

I am with @ArmyRover I could have had an LR3, but the 1st model year of a vehicle that computerized is too risky

 

Ok thanks. I will hunt down one of the later years. I havent done much research on them, but I've seen a few youtube videos and they seem quite capable off road. The labor of love continues. lol...

 

Thanks, you guys always give good logical advice here in the forum. Its really appreciated. My life with the D2 has been a heck of a lot easier. Especially when following a lot of the write ups. I saved a ton of money thanks to you guys. I had no idea what I was getting in to when I picked up the D2 several years ago. Then I got addicted and the rest is history. Thanks again guys!

 

No worries it’s not really a forum it’s more of a support group.

The LR3’s are pretty awesome off road, very comfortable on road and pretty reliable. I have a 06 and a 07 and really like them both.

 

I agree, we all have a mental issue.
