- I have owned three LR3's and now an LR4, so needless to say I have a ton of experience with these beasts.
Amazing off road, space for 7 PEOPLE, and most impressive of all... The tons of money you will spend 😂

This video is mainly for those looking to get into their first Land Rover. Take it from a guy who also owned a D1 and a few D2's, you can have a very capable vehicle for an amazing steal. I can also show you how to spot a good one or a bad one. Just ask.
Also don't forget there are tons of other youtubers out there. Do your research. Learn about the issue with electronics, the issues with lower control arms, the best engine either the 4.4 or the 5.0. There is a lot to consider and I'm happy to answer any questions you have. - Авто та транспорт
I’m still rocking the 2007 LR3 2/ 210k miles and still running strong! Definitely poured some good money into it with preventative maintenance but 100% worth it! I wouldn’t drive anything else for daily use and over landing. Absolutely amazing off road
With the Rhino Rods lift I was able to fit 285/65 R18 tires (and some plastic trimming) but it fits great with minor rubbing at full lock
Bought my first 2005 LR3 HSE two years ago and upgraded everything myself. Then bought a 2006 Range Rover Sport a year ago. I’m not buying anything else until Land Rover makes a vehicle to compete with the Hummer EV. Great video Brother.
I m LR3 HSE V8. I cant think of anything better
Just got an LR4 that I am preparing for overlanding . This Cascadia thing looks really interesting. . Thank you for the tip.
I had before Landcruiser Prado and Hilux, this LR4 I love. Great ride and comfort.
Good review, it popped up on my feed, I have LR 3, Discovery 3 here in Australia, they are just good cars, trying to keep mine for a bit yet so I jump to a late model LR4
Definitely would like to see the upgrades video!!
I own a 2011 LR4 HSE…. Bought brand new and now 126,000. Absolutely love the truck. Runs perfectly. I’ve been meticulous about maintenance. Plan on keeping it but I’m planning on getting the timing belts replaced soon. I own other vehicles for daily driving.
Timing chain not belt
Hi Mario, thanks for the video! Alexandria, VA here, and currently shopping for one of these. I appreciate the info!
I got one for sale in Newport News Virginia asking 10,200 all major issues have been taking care of
This was a great video - trying to decide if I want to trade in my truck for an SUV, and the LR4 is high on the list. I appreciate your insights.
@@raggar101 No not yet. We're holding off on any car decisions for a while.
Just sold my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon and bought a 2015 LR4 HSE with the HD package. About to start rigging it out for Overlanding. I would love to see more videos on your LR4 and how you prepped it for Overloading.
Great video. Would love to know what kind of mods you did. Have a 2014 LR4 that I'm looking to deck out a bit
Thanks man!
Great video.
Nice video! Thanks. Over here in the UK similar models now sell for around £6-7k so around $8-9k !! I’ve just bought a LR4 (Discovery 4 here) and they’re epic. But, insurance is £2500 and £700 road tax per year!!!!
Great review. I'm lookin at a 2010 lr4 hse lux with 83k miles and it's only $17k...few upgrades to it already. And with my 08 yukon denali as a trade. Bottom line price with be close to $12k.
I have a 2016 LR4. What type of tires are you running? I have been wanting BFG ko2s but they don't come in R19s. Also, the light bar is PERFECT. Do you have a link to it you can share? Beautiful LRs!
Great video. Do you have a video or forum post on how to add CarPlay to a 2013?
Where are you at in the VA area? I’m from Winchester and I just started looking for one of these and yours looks like a cream puff. Love the Vid!
Hey Ryan! I'm out in Leesburg. I unfortunately sold that beast a few weeks back. I'll still post more from the LR4 on my channel, as I still get a bunch of questions.
i know this video is a year old but i'd still love to see a breakdown on either of these cars, especially the $4k lr4! what a freaking deal with a non-blown motor
Tutorial on adding Apple CarPlay, would be a great video!!
I've owned the 2013 and now the 2016 LR4. If I could buy 2 more 2016s and put them in storage to drive after the one i have now dies I would.
Hi there just wondering what tires your running for both beauties! lol thanks!
I'm looking into getting an LR4 please give me some insights. I don't mind high mileage as long as certain mandatory maintenance have been done. Especially the shocks
Hi, I owned a 2013 lr4 96k miles I think best suv all around . What size rims and tires do you have in the lr4 and do you have a lif?
What size wheels and tires are on the LR4? Also did you remove the air suspension?
What a great group of vehicles. They are cheap to get into and not bad if your down to work on them. Killer deal on LR4 I’d upgrade too.
Also let’s get that LR4 build video!
@@davidmscott4409 I will have to put something together. I unfortunately had to sell it a few weeks back.
@@mariotvines a nicer one will find it’s way into your life. It’s an addiction haha.
Niceee one
We're looking at a 2011 LR4, 140k, it needs a good detailing, cuz the previous owner smoked in it and was a pig. But... everything works as it should. That being said, I have a serious question about the ltr. Is it normal for the steering wheel NOT to return to center when your turning out of a corner? This one doesn't allow you to just let the wheel slide through your hands and it straightened out from the corner. Is his normal?
Can you share the link of what you used to add CarPlay? Thanks!
im curious about the maintenance at 150k miles. can you elaborate more on the type of maintenance it will need or direct me to another video? Thanks! both trucks look bitchin
Nice vid… on the LR4, did you need to deal with the timing guides or were they done previously?
Was done before I got it, thankfully. Thanks for the comment!
@@raggar101
Timing chain tensioners trend to wear out prematurely. Anywhere from 5 to 8k $ to fix. This was a poor video.
Great video. Where did you purchase the Molle holder on the inside rear windows ??
www.landroverpassion.com/en/product/tactical-panel-discovery-3-e-4/
Great video! What size are the tires and rims on your Lr4? Thanks
Thanks! 19" wheels and 255/65R19 tires.
Can you add a video about the lr4 modification and adding 2inch
How’s the car running any major issues
How about reliablity of engines? They have any major issues?
Did you have any problems with your low beams not working?
Hey Man I’m thinking to her one LR4 could you please tell us how much money did you put on Thanks man
Very nice video buddy ! Do you think the 5.0 V8 of the LR4 is more reliable than the previous V8 in the LR3 ?
Looking back, and using my experience of having multiple of both. I would choose the 4.4L. Overall a better engine, and more reliable. You’ll find tons of forums on this topic. My dream would be to have a LR4 with a 4.4l. Kind of impossible though. Unless you want to redo just about everything lol.
I really doubt that. LR3 V8 is so reliable. Nothing compares to it in my experience
what did you do to get the apple CarPlay in? i just bought one
Hi great video, in the uk very late disco 4 -lr4, prices gone though the roof , I bought my 2016 lr4 landmark 2 years ago cost me £29500 now it’s only done 31000 miles and on various car sales sites now selling over £42000, it appears that people not ti keen on the discovery 5 and only car like the lr4 is the new defender which is very pricey so lr4 now commanding high prices in the uk
Its the same here in Germany 😫
All used vehicles have shot up, my L550 has gone up 7k it’s down to supply chips/Covid
Excellent review been looking for ILR3 for my daughter so at least I know what to look for now Thanks
I found one 2013 130k miles but has leaking coolant. I can send you a video. Would you give me an advice please?
Hello, im thinking of buying a lr4 for the beach around 2010 any things to look out for?
I like those racks in the back against the side rear windows, where can I get those?
Thanks! I ordered them straight from Italy. Only place to buy them. Great quality, but pricey. Here’s the link:

What size tires are you running
Hello buddy and want to know how you put an aftermarket lift to the disco 3? Did you remap the air suspension or put spacers?
So both methods I have used before. For the LR4 I just used IIDTool to program the height. For the LR3 I had the lift rods. I know some who used both to really dial it in.
great video but you won't get a lr3 around were i live [ kc ] for any were near that cheap , 8,000 to 10,000 is what they go for in decent shape , i just got an 2011 lr4 in great shape for 12,000 had been lookin for a few months , found a couple a little cheaper but they had to many problems , mines got 120,000 miles on it , another good point about the lr4 is they tow around 8,000 lbs ...
Hi I am based in Kenya and doing lots of touring and safari. I have LR4 and looking for Apple CarPlay. Could you tell me how I can upgrade. Thank you.
Also….. great wheel/tire combo on the LR4. What the tire size? Where did you order the wheels from?
I’d like to put that on my vehicle!
Thanks! The tires are 255/65/19. The wheels are actually the stock 19’s with black plastidip on them.
Did these tires fit without lift rods?
@@hbscheerer No. Without rods or an IIDTool they would rub.
@@mariotvines Hi there, just quick question, do u have wheel spacer on Lr4? Because lr3 looks more tiny on stock 18s rims but lr4 looks more proper to width... Thanks for vid, I love those both Discovery 3.4 Lr 3.4 👍✌️💥💯
How was is it been for the the last year?
What year and engine on the 4? 5ltr not as long lived as the 4.4. Seems wheel arch mouldings and bumpers not as robust on the 4 as the 3.
Two inch lift? Is the LR3 on springs?
What did you end up selling it for?
Hi can you help me source some front end parts for my2010 LR4?
Hello,
I have just watched your film about LR3 and LR4. And I am glad I have found it
I am going to go to US next year, buy a discovery, arrange it as a mini kamper and visit your country. Can you reccomend any website where I can find disco 3 or 4 like yours, please? I was trying some but there were very few cars like those. Maybe I did something wrong. I would be enormously grateful for your advice or suggestions.
Thanking in advance!
Hey! Glad this video helped in any way. Best places are Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and even OfferUp. Those three I check religiously when I am looking to buy a new vehicle. Make sure you check various areas too. I have to drive 4.5 hours one way to pick up that LR4. But it was worth it. Good Luck!
@@mariotvines Thx a lot. I will let you know when I buy 🙂
Did you have any engine problems with the LR4 or was that taken care of from the previous owner?
So I thought it was in good shape. I still did my due diligence when I got it. Checked and changed all necessary fluids, did a full once over, and anything preventative. Still ended up biting me in the butt.
The lr4 has many engine problems, but the lr 3 engine is bulletproof. My 2005 lr3 has 187530 miles, and she is running strong from Tampa, fl, to Maine several times without any headache.
I can agree with this. Both the 5.0 and the 4.4 have had their fair share of issues. If I was forced to choose one I would go with the 4.4.
I am probably biased since my 5.0 did die on me haha.
Thanks for the comment!
My lr3 240k rinds like a champ
The 3.0 diesel in the lr4 is a carry over from the LR3, difference being a software tune.
Just wondering, how did you add Apple CarPlay to your LR4??
I used the naviplus system.
$4k?! How?! Also, what's the solution for Android Auto?
How did you get apple CarPlay in it? I only see sketchy kits from China
I used NaviPlus
Any idea how much it would cost to repair (if not repairable, then to replace) the timing chains on an LR4? Thanks!
@jjose1648 just happened to read this... My 2016 LR 4 has 39,000 miles and the timing chain went! Quote from dealer is $13,000?!
@@danikavinacco3715 Whoaaa!!!! Thanks for the reply!!!
Hey Mario i just purchased a preowned LR4 2012 the car wont turn on starter is good when I hit the start button it just does one click somewhere. Since you had experience with these i was curious if you can suggest anything before new engine swap. It is a 5.0 ltr V8
Don't instantly think that its a major engine issue. With an LR3 or LR4 this could be a simple as a battery issue. They are VERY particular when it comes to battery voltage and connections. Get the battery checked first, and then leave it disconnected for 5min before reconnecting and trying again.
That can be the modular computer box, it is behind the battery compartment, in case get a diagnostic in Land Rover dealer first, the computer can cost with installation and parts $ 2700
I have a 2011 LR4 that the previous owner changed out the stereo to an aftermarket and removed the top screen. Very annoying. Anyone know how to get the factory setup to install again?
Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Here is what I know for sure.
1. Make sure that it originally had a screen. This being my third LR3/4 I know that even some of the higher models still had an option to not have it.
2. Confirm that the previous seller left the wiring intact back there. There are a series of super important optical cables that are not easy to replace.
3. Find a used screen on eBay. Not expensive, but the next part may be.
4. It has to be programmed now for your vehicle. Even if you get the exact same screen from the exact same model and year, it will recognize that the VIN is different. This will need to be programmed either with a GAP tool. Or take it to the dealership.
That's about the extent of what I know. A good LR forum search should give you more details. Good luck!
@@mariotvines Great information. Thanks so much! Sounds like quite the project so far.
best car to own...
Please tell me the secret of finding them at this price? I am looking for an LR4 now, and can’t find one for less than $12k. Please advise!
Bidenomics. This video was posted before hyperinflation. I'm looking at either a highly modified 05 lr3 for 7500 or a plain fully loaded lr4 for 11.9k in Texas.
Rim and tire size on LR4
What Apple Carplay solution did you use for the LR4? Thanks.
I used naviplus.
@@mariotvines Great thanks. So you bought the Australian product. How easy was the install? Thanks Michael
You could do a popular video on this install as lots of people want “proof of concept”
@@MariottiMichael It was a pain in the arse as they would say haha. They provided instructions, but they suuuuuuuucked. I followed them as much as I could. But they were VERy vague, and left out a MAJOR part. I had my dash apart for two days because they failed to mention one thing. So after 24 back a forth emails to them we figured out that one thing and BOOM it was rock solid. really is an amazing system, and if I still had it, I would make that video.
@@mariotvines thanks for the content and responses!
Any audio quality loss with this unit? I really enjoy the sound system included with the LR4, wouldn’t want to sacrifice audio quality.
do a video please on apple car play i got a 2010
How do you get apple car play to work on the LR4?
I used the NaviPlus system.
How the eff did you get it a for that cheap??
Haha lots of searching. Then a bit of luck. Turned out to be not so lucky afterall since the engine locked up 4 months later 🤦🏾♂️
what year is that LR4...within 100 miles of us they are all above 11k
This is a 2010. It was originally posted for $7500. I had to drive from DC to North Carolina to get it. So it is all about the search, and willingness to go get it.
@@mariotvines crazy...live in NC and still nothing like that available...nice find...great channel.
I just trade my 2011 lr4 hse lux with 196k I had ever since I bout it in 2011 with 8 miles major issues was lower control arm at 95k I went ahead and got timing chain done just because!!! !!! I say to everyone if you have money to buy have a savings for regular maintenance and oil change every 3k miles and you will fine
0:55 like GTA 5 sound
You have a radio or Hollywood voice.
Where did you buy your LR4?
Found it on marketplace. Was a guy in NC. Had to make a 9 hour each way turn and burn.
@@mariotvines on Facebook marketplace?
@@audi_steve8363 yup! It’s where I get just about everything haha.
@@mariotvines thanks
I am absolute Landrover nut have been since 1966 I wouldn’t touch a discovery after 2004 the 3 and 4 and all a discos since should be avoided like the plague.
👍
Lot of background noises met
It’s so crazy hearing stuff like this before bidenflation went insane. $3k-$k for one with 150k miles??? I wish!!!!
Exactly what I was just thinking! They're like $10k where I live now.
Same looking into both the lr3s and the lr4s and the 2 I could find that were good and worth the buy were... lr3 9k at 144k miles and lr4 11k at 180k miles
05 LR3 highly modified with 197k but brand new suspension all around for 7500 or a plain jane fully loaded 10 lr4 with 107k miles for 12k here in Texas. We feel those prices too lol.
Things are changing. Bought a 2012 LR4 HSE with 117k miles for 14899. That was with the dealer warranty. I've own D1 and D2. Warranty was important. Was a single owner car with 36 carfax service records including timing guides and new cover. Just wish there was an oil check tube so I can use my oil change pump
Gotta love the clown in charge pissing our money away in Ukraine
LR4 has no real improvement engine-wise from the LR3, and with a carbuncle design pump/gauge INSIDE the oil pan it is a repair nightmare. A terrible oil pump! No oil dip stick? 😂 A pain with the gear selector if you need to be towed, and the handbrake is a joke. So many bad decision the designers should be given a bitch-slap! Only buy and old Land Rover if you don’t treasure your free weekends and you have a huge amount of disposable income 🤓.
Great looking vehicles but absolutely the worst reliable cars on the planet. I have had six of them 😂😂😂
I think it's worth it.
I’m not handy at all. But I want it so bad 😩😩😩
Go LR3 HSE V8 Petrol 4.4 then
How were you able to add the Apple Car play into the LR4!!?
I used the system from Naviplus
The landrover is you sall it
NO... its not.
Hi…. I’m actually looking at getting one of these right now but the owner says it overheats so I just wanted to pick ur brain about that. if ur open to talking about it I sent u a request on IG. Thanks
