I have it in my garage; it isn't much to look at. It's just a big copper heating element with a brass (I think) housing and a connector. It screws into the engine block and then the chord (which is sold as a separate part) plugs into it.

Kind of silly, but my land rover emblems on my hood were starting to have the paint flake off, so I attempted to paint them. I'll need to redo it because I learned some stuff in the process, and I screwed up some of them when reinstalling.

I changed my oil, oil filter and pollen filter after 6500 miles. Now just need to get my tranny fluid replaced.

Getting drivers and passenger side windows tinted and eyebrow right now. Very minor, but will look good:-)

I just picked up 4 stock wheels and tires from a craigslist ad for $200.

Of course the tires are bald.

200 is a great deal, even if the tires are bald. I picked up some 19" Sport wheels with almost new tires for 600 yesterday as well. Today I am doing a coolant flush on the LR3 and also a coolant flush on the Sport as well as Tcase fluid change and front diff fluid change on the Sport. Gotta love the preventative maintenance

Wow! Nice find. I just picked up the same set of wheels with General Grabber AT2s from eBay for $1000. The tires have about 75-80% tread left though, and this way I don't have to pay for mounting and balancing, so I was still pretty happy with the purchase.

That's a great deal for sure. I have the AT2's on my LR3 right now. I think they have about 30k on them with some tread left. I liked them a lot but they are getting really loud as they wear down more and more.

I got sick of the hood (bonnet) falling on my head, so I replaced the struts with a pair from rock auto. I had done the rear hatch a while back, but not because they became weak, they actually broke.

Best $10 (each) I have spent yet.

I towed another LR3 home with it yesterday.

Probably just under the rated towing capacity of the LR3.
