Agreed no re-gearing options for LR3s to-date.
I think the LR3 diffs are lower ratio than LR4, so maybe someone could re-gear an LR4 with LR3 diffs, but have never seen this done. Do ARB lockers at the same time even.
BTW - More angle grinder "adjusting" and less air suspension lift is ideal.
I am on "33"s with a +1" fulltime lift and the truck has 95% less three wheel situations than when I used to at +2" lift.
That extra 1" of drop makes a much bigger traction difference than I was expecting.
...also 17" rims and BFG KM3s are awesome combo!!

Nope, ratios are the same for D3 and D4, petrol V8/V6 3.73/1, TDV6 auto 3.54/1 and TDV6 manual 3.07/1.
Yeah... I have to say 11-12 is pretty poor. My 4.4 V8 best is 22mpg. I can average 20mpg on a trip if I try hard. 18mpg is how I budget my trips. If I get less than 14 I assume something is very, very wrong - or in the case of my last trip where I got 14.3 it was because only 87 octane was available out west. Premium was very rare.
What size tires do you have? What would you start looking at if your MPG was lower than 14mpg? Maybe a stock rover would get above 14mpg. What’s your secret to a good mpg rover... if it’s a 4.4ltr V8. I can only dream of a TDV6.
