I have a 05 LR3, still running great at 207k, love it. On most of the Rover groups the consensus seems to be that the LR3 soundly beats the LR4 in reliability primarily due to the timing chain and crossover pipe issues with the 5.0 LR4. I don't like the LR4 dash, it's much more refined, I like my big chunky LR3 knobs. Also at some point in the LR4 production run a two speed transfer case became optional so that rules out a lot of LR4s from being viable off-roaders.
Absolutely recommend the LR4, if you find one with the 5.0 v8 and no sunroof and the leather plus option (you can tell by the double stitching on the seats) they are just like your lr3 but better. still looks the part and has even more power. I also suggest you look for a 2012 onwards with the 8 speed zf.
issue being the codes P0171 & P0174 system to lean. I have had those codes for 2.5 years. changed all the sensors MAP, MAF, EGR Valve, O2 sensors both front and rear-

Love my LR3, my favorite and most complimented truck I've ever owned
I had the same experience. I owned one for 11 years. I spent about 1K a year on maintenance, including tires, and oil changes. It ran like a champ.
Thanks guys! Definitely get an LR4! Had two of them, and I cant say enough good things about them.
My favorite led light manufacturer!
Ours as well!!
Looks like my old LR3. Should have kept it looking back now.

Discovery 4's are great, I love my 3ltr diesel 😊
What system did you install to have Apple CarPlay? Is it available on Amazon?
It’s on eBay, as well as Ali express. It’s a lot cheaper on aliexpress.
Great looking and functional off road rig. What’s the name of the monitor you installed.
