Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3 - REAL REVIEW - ALL FAULTS in 7 YEARS

#projectdiscovery #landrover #discovery3
I'm listing all the faults I have had on my Discovery 3 / LR3 in the past 7 years and 106 000km that I have put on it. It will be at the end of the video so stick around for the complete list. I also go through my service history and gives some tips and tricks along the way.

There are also some sneak peeks at upcoming videos and two trip videos. Which I think is going to be one of the best ones so far.

As always, enjoy the video and hit me up with a comment if you want to know more and don't forget to like and subscribe.

I Still own and Drive this beauty! 🤙10 YEARS 😊 Let me know if you want me to make a update video on the last 3 years. 😊

I've had my 2006 LR3 4.4 liter for 4.5 years. I bought it with 100k miles and the mileage now is 168k. It has never broken down, in fact, it has never had a check engine light on. It is used as a daily driver and an overland vehicle that sees serious off roading in the U.S. Still in love with it.

Your cinematography is breath taking. It is obvious you are a professional videographer. Thank you for your efforts!

[VISTATREKKER]

I have my 2005 HSE 8 years now, remarkably similar experience, 390, 000km up on it now and still going strong. Great content as usual. Respect to you for all the jobs you have tackled yourself.

Hello from the UK, Great videos which will be helpful in maintaining my 2006 LR3, thanks 👍👍

My Dad has a had a discovery 4 commercial sdv6 from new in 2011, its done 170, 000 miles, regularly tows at full capacity, some light off road use and us his daily commuter. Besides the usual consumable parts (service and brakes etc) its only wanted for 1 injector and an oil pump seal 500 miles ago. Besides that it went in for the recall for the uprated inlet manifolds. Absolute beast of a car. Worth getting a full gearbox flush at 100, 000 miles though.

That is not a bad list for a car that is 14 years old and gets used off-road. Good video and a nice looking wagon

I have a range rover and a Lexus. In 9 years of owning my Lexus, it has NEVER been in the shop. The range rover has been mostly in the shop for the past year (total ownership time). no joke.

[HLMM_KE]

for a vehicle that has gone past the 200k km mark, the list is justifiable.
The advice to repair the car yourself whenever you can is a brilliant one. I love the discovery, eyeing the LR4.

[glennstock]

Great video! thanks so much for taking the effort and time to explain in the best way you could. I am also in love with my LR3, so I fully understand the loyalty. In short, I just don't like Japanese 4x4's. No matter how much the LR3 costs to repair, it's still worth hanging onto. All the best to you up there in Norway!

I have a bought new 2007 RR Sport 2.7 TDV6 down here in Australia. Most of the things you mention I've done too. Great to see you kept track. I didn't. Thanks for sharing.

It's what you'd call a hobby vehicle - assuming vehicle repairing is your hobby. Great review!

[landroverphotoalbum]

Brilliant! I love it when someone views the L319 in the same light as me.

[abcman]

land rover should pay you money for this, this is the 1st time i actually considered buying it :)

[markmcgrath]

21:50 great point. These are heavy cars like Land Cruisers or Nissan Patrols and they have their issues too. Especially the Toyota’s with their Common Fail Diesels. I think your list was mostly normal wear and tear items aside from a few LR specific items, especially in a climate where roads are salted and rust is a constant problem.

It’s a really nice looking car, great colour and interior trim combination.

Greeting from Oz.

[LandRoverDrive]

Okay lets play fault-bingo and write the number of faults you have had from my list at the end. 🙂👍 This is going to be exciting.

[jimdoerr]

I'm just now seeing this. But I love the LR3 & 4. They're among my favorite SUVs and seem to hve quite the following. More updates? Sure! Keep them coming as you have time.

[landroverSV]

Even with it's sometimes pain in the butt gremlins the Land Rover Discovery 3 is a awesome SUV. I own the D3 SE V8 and I love it.

[completeoutdoors]

Great video, I've had a Discovery 3 for the same time as you and done almost all of the same work - great channel, thank-you for making the videos.

[donsmanbcc]

Good video Simon. I think you have just saved me a lot of money. That list was a nightmare, I'm afraid its no Discovery for me. Thanks again.
