The LR3 actually calls for plain old 5w-30.
Seriously, 2004 Chevrolet Suburban, $10,000 - Cars.com is what YOU need.
No car is going to last forever, not going to happen no matter what, until you get this through your head you are going to drive yourself nuts, ITS JUST A GODDAMN TRUCK!!!
You can buy another, and another, and another...you were willing to trade yours sight unseen for a different one but now you want yours to last the rest of your life?
Seriously Julian, get with the program, just drive the damn thing or trade it in, you're not happy with it, thats obvious because if you were you would not be willing to talk about trade/buying the next best thing.
Best of luck to you.

Spike Im proud to own my Disco II and I cheerish every moment I spend with it. Does not mean I cannot lust after a second or third Rover to add to the family. How many vehicles do you and your wife own? At least 2 right? Plus you drive a company vehicle? And many Rover owners also have multiple vehicles. So why cant I have multiple vehicles? Just so happens that I want afew Rovers for my passion and pleasure. Just how I am, dont have a family, dont have a women so why the hell not enjoy the time I have with the things Im most passionate about? I love these vehicles so dam much and Id love to say I own afew of them. Guess that makes me a true Land Rover enthusiast.

I've taken the passenger side of the bench seat out plenty of times, just 4 bolts hold it in. You (and a lady friend) can lay comfortably in the back then. A more practical application is it allows you to haul a love seat or a twin sized bed laying on its side.
Its impossible for me to get out of an IKEA run now that the family knows I can take the seat out so easily, so be careful who you let in on the secret.

rear seats out - with semi-quick release system - is big....but you're not really sleeping in there. suburban/sequoia you are.
if I start a thread about retrofitting a 1967 Type 2 with my D1 parts will you bash me?

Since you're considering the possibility of needing to live in your Range Rover, don't you think you should establish a little more financial security before you set yourself to create a stretched, zinc-plated, Discovery II limo?
I've been there too (living in my car). It can be hard to resist indulging in the enjoyment of a good car when it seems like every other pleasure in life is out of reach. It seemed like a good wife, a good house, a good job, and everything else was way beyond my means, but damn it I could afford a good car and I was going to enjoy it. It was foolish, but the gratification was hard to resist. For me it actually started before I could even afford a good car. After having lived in a cheap car, I afforded a good motorcycle. And yes I lived on it without even a rented house for a while.
What can I say? Do you think I needed to stop indulging myself so immediately and figure out how to make more money so I could afford even greater pleasures? Or do you think I needed to realize that houses are better than cars, and a woman is better than houses and lands? Is the meaning of life just to acquire the available pleasures and indulge in them?
