- It was time to add a new project vehcile to the channel, so we searched high and low for the right Discovery 3 and ended up with a broken, manual 2.7 V6 commercial LR3. Destined for scrap but we knew it could be saved and it cost under £200 with two parts and some magic from Forte. But it was quite the journey.

Great to see someone else fighting their D3 into submission , great stuff. Really looking forward to more D3 content , thanks.
Def more LR3/4 content please!
i have just join this channel and look forward to the rest ,thanks for the video
Definitely more Disco content, and Freelander pleaae
The three amigos is a Discovery 2 issue. Don't ask me how I know. LR Time has some good videos, the most recent one fixed an auto transmission fault.
Great video just discovered the channel. As a RR L322 enthusiast I'll be watching this project from now on, all the best with the channel
Good luck with all that mate!
Enjoyable to watch thanks Fraser - D3s are great vehicles once they are sorted. Cheers.
Great, I do like the look of these and there are some cheap ones about, even the 4 is coming down to decent money now. Keep up the great work 👍
Great video, first time watching the channel, good watch, I have a commercial disco 3 with a knackered engine, same colour and has everything on it, manual aswell, it’s for sale if your interested in it for parts, was a great truck untill it died!!! It’s been sat a while in storage taking up room so if interested let me know.
I was looking at that D3 on eBay a while back - you're braver than I is all I can say!
Very interesting video had a 06 plate many years ago loved it but I spent £7000 on keeping it mobile over 3 years was just a money pit sadly best drive I’ve ever had comfy as, moved to a Toyota Land Cruiser now 2019 icon never spent a penny on it in 12 months
If I were the RAC I'd tell you to jog on expecting recovery after you bought this with a known fault.
Chapter 8 chevrons are basically a parking permit for anywhere.
That and the yellow flashing lights!
Brilliant video, really enjoyed the content and it’s great to see you having a go at bringing a vehicle back into a usable state.
We use the LR Centre all the time and it’s great to have you around the corner.
Good work guys!
Thanks I’m looking forward to this series. The first job is definitely change the oil pump for the newer strong type before driving it any more. Being owned by a company it won’t have been changed from new so it will have the old weak pump. If it breaks your engine will be toast. You may as well change the belts at the same time.
My D3 had a gearbox issue, not really slipping more like holding gears too long. It was just a sticking selector arm which cost £28
Recently bought myself a 06 hse sold through eBay with gearbox fault was told by previous owner that it was going to cost them 4000 at land Rover to get it sorted I bought a torque converter oil pan and new oil absolutely perfect car again now
As time goes on, the cost of the repairs needed will increase. The snake oil stuff might work for a while, but the fault will always return. Crazy to buy a LR, unless you want to make videos about the breakdowns and repairs needed.
Nice find
Go on men,Nice project!

Once you have had your tracking done, recalibrate your steering angle sensor again.
Try replacing the brake switch on your brake pedal . Had exactly same problem as you. After doing the switch recalibrate your steering angle sensor.
The usual thing with the 3 amigos is the XYZ switch on side of gearbox not expensive,easy to change 👍👍
That fuel filter is way different from mine! 😳
After owning a d1 300 I worked on a friend's d3 manual fitted a new clutch ,timing belt rusted out fuel tank cradle and did a test drive ,I was shocked how bad these thing are big heavy slow I'll never touch one again, been driving landrovers since 1980
Forte snake oil
So how come the carly system couldnt clear the codes the rac one could? I thought the carly system could do everything the normal snap on or similar can do 🤷♂️
Great vid with content mate.. very independent and helpful
For now. £200 to fix for now!
I used to be a whereabout.
Mine did that, and it was dashboard binnacle that needed replacement ! Was one RR Sport not Discovery.
Great project also glad it is running better but before you buy the tyres etc if you do buy the other D3 would it not be best to see what is worth swapping over from that one as a doner car then sell it off with the parts swapped even if it is sold for scrap in the end
That was my plan but I don't think I could bring myself to sxrap it. Find out in the next episode what we decide to do!
Please replace the oil pump and timing belt, and change the oil to 5W40. LR Time has done a whole set of videos on this
I wouldn't have thought it was just the sensor causing the issue, I would have started with changing the battery
U can still buy the disco in commerical no rear seats
200 to fix haha. Moneypits.
Ah my old friend 'restricted performance' hours of fun 🙄
Good stuff!
Do you have the chassis mount on your floor jack? If not, you must be really careful as the chassis rails are rounded, it could get slippery and you don't want it to fall...
Not yet, so I make sure I'm.not under without the axle stands. They have the chassis mount.
I would be more shocked if a Disco 3 did NOT show a suspension fault on the dash :o)
The film is a cheap way of blanking rear windows to comply with a van/commercial status at least on the side windows so do you then get stung for vat when removing?
Won't the turbo cleaner be a waist of time unless the turbo is boosting?

Sorry switched of when I saw you spending money in Costa coffee. The owners bank offshore and pay little to no tax in the UK.
Luckily I didn't pay, someone left it on the table!
Bet you're fun at parties 👍
And? Doesn't affect you and I, costa and Starbucks don't pay much tax but they make a nice coffee 😊
@@rchad129I’d disagree about their coffee. Both companies are franchised operations, so there will be a uk company that holds the master Franchise for the UK. I don’t know if the claims are correct about them banking offshore & paying no corporate tax. I’ve heard that claim levelled against Starbucks operation. Yes it does affect you & me. If companies are not paying tax there’s less money to go round. That means the sick take longer to get treated & the holes in the road don’t get fixed. However tax dodging is endemic now.
Even Tesco banks some money in the Cayman Islands 😬
Don’t Costa pay employers NI, Business Rates, VAT, stamp duty and import duty ? I guess you might mean Corporation Tax on profits. But banking offshore doesn’t avoid that. The best way to avoid Corporation Tax is to not make a profit.
If the intercooler hose was split you would be surrounded in a black cloud.
Daf?
It's no wonder the tint was goosed, its supposed to go on the inside of the car.
🤗👍👌💯
Interesting video what stuff did you put in your fuel tank?
The product is Forte. Injector cleaner and turbo cleaner. Link in the description for you. Amazing stuff
@@LRLiveUK thanks for that
@@LRLiveUKI’m curious as to how a product added to the fuel actually cleans a turbo, given the turbo is pumping air prior to the fuel being injected. I’d have thought you’d need to be adding something to the intake to clean the turbo.
Why does Land Rover build such brilliant vehicles...... that are crap 💩!!!! Regards Ian 👨🎤🇳🇿👍🏉
They aren't crap, have you seen how this one has been treated!??? treat any car like shit and it will break.. ffs!
More trouble than there worth, one of land rovers less finest.
Run away from these junk cars...!! Greetings from Sweden
