Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the comment, these early RX cars don't have an EV mode. The later ones enable you to run on purely electric but with these mk2s it's purely based on how much you press the pedal and how fast you are going. It adds power to the rear wheels under hard acceleration too!

He is from the Uk and we use Uk Imperial MPG as opposed to US MPG. 1 US Mpg = 1.2 UK MPG . So you’re both right, just got the wrong units of measurement.

Hi, thanks for the nice comment! When I do eventually get another I think I would try to find an XJL, the extra rear room with the kids is a good send, one thing I definitely miss now! Thanks for watching!

Hi, I got it from a guy in France who has a company called Tom Shop. Unfortunately he only sells the full kit, he wouldn't split it into parts. Realistically I should have just made one myself, I didn't end up using most of his kit. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

To be honest, I have had lots of Land rovers and Audi's with Air suspension over the years and it's a must for me. The ride it gives and the versatility are great. The parts are generally more reliable than coil springs and the struts are comparable with regards to price. The Toyota/Lexus EAS system is generally very reliable with very few reports of issues. If I got another it would definitely have air suspension. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Hi, I don't unfortunately, I sold it to try electric (video coming soon). However I will get another one soon, probably a V8 though this time! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Glad I could help with your decision! Thanks for watching!

They are incredibly frugal engines! Don't forget this one is diesel, 35mpg is petrol territory. 55mpg on a run was a regular occurrence and backed up by calculation between fuel stops. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment!

@@JPKMotorsportWorkshop yes yes, mine is diesel. Same engine as yours. I don’t see anyone around the internet getting what you just claimed. They all get around 35/40mpg.

I can't report on how other people drive, 35/40mpg is what people are quoting from the same engine in the discovery 4s. I don't drive fast 95% of the time, my daily drive is 50% 'A' roads and 50% motorway and I would always get 45mpg on a 20 mile drive. I rarely boot it away from roundabouts and always coast up to roundabouts, only using brakes if absolutely necessary. I'm currently in an Audi EV and thats a whole other level of efficient driving!

Hi, apologies I missed this comment. Yes I am more than happy to chat, probably best to find me on Instagram V8_Manual_Disco3. Thanks Josh

Hi, I believe it controls all 4 but I can't remember. It definitely controls the rears as that's where I usually have the issues.

Pretty much, it was a go-pro 3 back then. Even the go-pro 7 I have now is fairly bad!

They seem fairly good, usual diesel issues, injectors and egr valves and there is always the risk of a dpf blockage but that's the same on any modern diesel. They are the same engines that are in the Discovery 4s etc so technically are prone to crank failures but they are no where near as common, I guess due to no towing and the weight of the car. Incredible engines though, 0-60 in 6s but still returns 55-60mpg, and so smooth! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

@@JPKMotorsportWorkshop how about the petrol engines?

The petrol engines are a million times more reliable! Known as JLRs most reliable engines. Still a few common issues with cooling and thermostat housings but much cheaper to fix.

Thanks for the comment! I am working to try and find a decent mic that works with the go-pro.

Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos! I don't have it any more unfortunately, purely for the fact I got offered more than I paid for it and I wanted a Jag XJL! I would definitely get another one though if I needed another big car!

@@JPKMotorsportWorkshop since I posted that I have now seen your videos on the XJL, which has made me want one myself! But I have a list of about 10 cars and I really can't decide which to go for!

Thankyou, a lot of work has gone into it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thank you for your positive comments! I can't wait to get it supercharged! It's such an exciting project for me!

I didn't end up doing anything to the rails, they didn't deteriate enough to cause a problem. It was always one of those things on the list that just kept getting lower and lower until I sold the car. Thanks for watching the video and taking time to comment!

Hi after praising the car in the video do u mind me asking why you sold it in the end

Hi, I sold the car because it was my wife that was driving it most of the time and we just didn't need such a big car any more, having the discovery meant we could down-size the other car and get something super economical to offset the V8!

Tha k you for the feedback, I am still trying to find a reliable mic for the go-pro, I think I might have to look at other camera options. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment!

Thank you, that's because they never made them, it's custom built! It was 2.7tdv6 until it blew up!

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and comment. I'm glad it was of use to you! Good luck with the search.

Yeah there is, I didn't do anything on mine to protect it but I know they are prone to being stolen as they are so accessible. You can get protectors etc.

As far as I know looking through the service paperwork mine was on all original parts at 140k with no knocks.

60k miles seems low, the only thing to consider is that autos that have only done town mileage still need oil and filter changes. It's getting close to 10 years old so worth considering factoring in a gearbox service. I would go in at £21.5k with that as a caviat, timing belts will need doing soon but in all honesty it should be fine. Just keep a few thousand back in a 'just in case' fund. A lot of the price on these cars is very dependent on spec so it's difficult to say if it's a good deal but it doesn't sound too far off.

Hi Peter, on the whole yes, I had a couple of electrical gremlins but these are now proving to be 'just generic Landrover issues' and not directly related to the swap. The bell housing needs a very minor mod and an extra hole drilled for the starter but other than that it bolts straight up!

Thank you for your feedback! Thanks for watching!

Thankyou for your positive comments! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Cheers!

Unfortunately it's still on hold as I'm finishing of my Discovery V8 build. Hoping to be able to do an update soon, the car is still in daily use as N/A though!

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad it has helped you out! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Thanks for watching and for the comment! I'm glad it helped you make your decision. I am really going to struggle to find something as good to replace it when the time comes.

Hi Georgi, You do need the V8, the under bonnet loom, the ECU and the CJB at minimum. Overall it would be a lot easier to just sawp the gearbox on a V8 car but they are so far and few between its just not realistic. I am still working out some of the electrical gremlins but I have managed to edit the CCF file to tell the car it is Manual which is a huge milestone! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Unfortunately the crank seized! Locked solid with no warning!

@@JPKMotorsportWorkshop oh that sucks. I have a D4 and just keep praying mine remains ok.🤞

​@Paul if it still runs sell it immediately and purchase a reliable car. Those shitboxes are money pits.

@@robertfonovic3551 sometimes I think that’s what I should do but when it’s going and not having a minor hiccup it is such a spectacular car to drive, nothing else in its class can compare with it. But you maybe onto something.
