Ever since I was a kid ,I had a huge crush for this car ! Back in 2007 ,when I was 5 ,my dad had bought be a car magazine ,which had also introduced me with the land rover discovery 3 ! In that particular journal ,it was all about an expedition with a group of 5 to 6 LRD3s ,maybe in Namibia ! That's when it even introduced me to the enthusiasm of offroading and obviously ,one of the best land rovers ever ! As I grew up ,I got to know about even the old solid axled ladies ! Ever since then ,the LRD3 has turned out to be my favourite ! Sad to see that land rover only makes crossovers , whereas once upon a time ,they made even body on frame 4x4s enough to carry and tow 1050 kgs and 3.5 tons respectively !
Hi Prakit, great back story you have there. Maybe one day the D3 value will be recognised and prices start to increase, but probably too many of them out there for this to happen for a while yet.
bun v bubblegum Rd at St SE hi no😅 hi Dr hi hi hi hi my one most
One thing I find fascinating and amusing about Land Rover is the controls like the ones you've outlined here. The fact that, if you do push-holds and repeated actions a certain number of times, you receive a new function--that is a really cool bonus.
Couple that I didn't know, I'll have to check on my D4! Thanks!
One that I found, playing with the key fob - press the headlight button, and of course the headlights come on, press again within a couple of seconds and the reverse lights come on, so you have light at the back of the car

I’m looking at a 3 or 4 for my next car, I’ve loved Land Rover and Range Rovers for years. Great and informative video. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
same for me! i hope you’ll find one you like!
Another excellent explanation of LR3 capabilities, I'll especially check out the super extended mode, which I did not know about it, thanks.
Glad you liked it, the super extended mode does come in helpful in certain situations.
Found out about it when I bellied out and it got me out of trouble. Incredibly clever!
I love the internet. Good stuff mate.
Thanks Jay for this video, my D3 will surprise me day after day !
Your welcome!
These vehicles seem to surprise again and again and again, is there anything you can’t find out on these vehicles??
Thank you professor Land Rover you have a new follower, great video. 😊👍🏼
Thanks for the sub!
Great video! Thank you!
Unbelievable!
I never knew ANY of those...
Great tips, thank you. Alfonso 🇦🇷
Fantastic my mechanic never talk me nothing about that
Remember when I first drove a Disco 3 around 2005 - I thought it looked and felt huge. Fast forward to 2021, and I think it looks relatively small.
Do you drive a hummer now or what?!😅
Great Video 👍
I just wish we had the diesel option in the States. I’m 220k miles In my D3 and off-road it like a animal. She’s a beast. Luckily I opted for the LUX. Dual battery, 2” lift , full custom rack and winch. I need to make similar videos. Good stuff. I was even in the Alloy and Grit magazine. Cheers
Which size engine is in your, i'm over here in the UK and diesels here are common as. Any issues?
@@OverlandTT no mechanical issues with engine block and heads. Haven’t even replaced the valve cover seals. It’s the 4.4 Jaguar engine. Solid engine. Literally the best Land Rover made for comfort and reliability in the States. And I have owned many models. If I could get a diesel I would be in heaven tho! Cheers
ive heard the diesel version had alot of issues
Oil pump
No you don't - all the diesels are on the scrap heap. The 4,4 V8s are going strong, like mine. Everyone gave me shit about the gas guzzler, but it's save me a fortune compared to the diesels
Great video, im sure my 2009 D3 HSE does show that the headlights are on on the dash (including when in auto mode). The lower tailgate release is a new one to me, the motors seem to fail a lot and all the advixe i have seen involves yanking the trim out to get to yank on some cables if i understand correctly.
Yeah mine has a headlight on indicator in my HUD
9:47 Did you rip one mate? :)
I heard that to!
Good ripper 😷
😄😄yep heard it too
Nothing to hear... ;)
Squeaked one out fur sure.
Mine's a 2008 SE TDV6. A few comments. The radio button does not allow access to the information, regardless of ignition or the radio being on and off. It may be the model and a restriction in the spec. The boot opening....yes it opens it to the first click, but then needs another press on the unlock to fully allow it to be opened. With the double button press alone, it cannot be opened at the rear. Thanks for the info! Love the little LED above the mirror, it's only when you are on dip or full that the dash info light is on, crazy that it doesn't show a sidelight function.
Thank you very much great video
Thanks
What a fantastic video 👌🏼
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for your vid
Thanks for watching!
Most HGVs have these there called night heaters to keep drivers warm when there on overnights sleeping in cab
I wonder if the self test is for a test drive after you 'fix' your disco. It might help you work out what you have missed!
cool... finally got to know the edit mode.. thanx
Glad I could help!
Wow! That was really neat to watch & find out about. Thanks a lot!
thanks
Hi nice informative video. Question, if you want the seatbelt chime back do you do the opposite of when you want to set the chime off? Thanks.
yes... it toggles on/off
Excellent Video Mate. Is it a CB Radio you have on the car? Can u send me the link one you recommend please? I am looking for atleast 3 radios in total for myself and kids.
I've just got one...lots to learn from my disco 1
Wow so nice your car ❤❤❤
Thank you 🤗
Полезная информация, подписался. Привет из России.
Juat slap the subcribe button due to Excellent presentation, simple, no more secret and you really look like mid age Donald Shuterland... 😊.
Will you do suspension modification from air suspension to old man manu spring suspension?
Haha, thanks for subscribing. On the suspension question, I am thinking about trying out one of the air suspension control modules, hope to bring you a video on that in not too distant future.
@@JayTeeCars wish you do same like other using old man emo spring suspension. Many youtube presentations did but i am still skeptical it can be done on LR4.
I am long time fan of LR3 or 4 but no plan to buy yet coz i don't like its air suspensions.
Had LR2 before, expensive maintenance cost force me to sold it out.
Here before 1 million subs
Ace video 🤠
Nice guide, exactly the same problem with the head lights you don't know if they are on or not. Also what roof have you installed, it's smart and nice and low. Cheers
Thanks, the roof rack is a genuine Land Rover, but has had the top half removed to make it slimline. I show it a bit more of the roof rack in this video th-cam.com/video/rNsq5uua0EA/w-d-xo.html
@@JayTeeCars I think it looks brilliant with the top part taken off, looks like the genuine ones are rare as rocking horse ####! Very hard to find them. Cheers
Dont even own a disco 3 but enjoyed watching
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Love discovery
Real James Bond car!
Nice vid. What wheels and size tires you have on there? And do you have lift rods installed? I have 2.5 in Johnson Rods with the 18 Compos with 265/65 Cooper S/T Maxx tires and love the set up. Basically driving around in offroad height (2.5 in lift plus .8 in from tires). I understand why they can’t come equipped this way but man is it the way this vehicle was meant to be.
Thanks, we are running 265/70 R17 tires:
www.coopertire.co.uk/tires/discoverer-stt-pro-p.o.r
We don't have an lift rods installed, and I think the tires are largest that fit without rubbing.
@@JayTeeCars sweet. Mine is an LR4 and 17s don’t fit over the calipers and I need the braking for towing so 18 is smallest I could go. Nice that you can get the 17s on there and have that slightly larger rubber. one thing that is cool about the lift rods (and you could install them temporarily before each offroad trip if you don’t want them full time- it doesn’t take too long), is that I can get additional clearance simply by selecting a Terrain Response that raises the suspension into offroad height or by selecting offroad height myself. I don’t have to wait til I’m high centered to get that extra height. Although I have found that there are very few times I need that much height for what I do, usually just leave it set in normal with the lift rods and it’s good. Downside is that when I select a Terrain Response that automatically lifts the vehicle, I have to put it back into Normal Height. Have fun out there. Gonna have to check out some of your other vids.
@@JayTeeCars I’m getting and installing the bump stocks with the limiting straps, so if I have an air suspension failure I won’t be on the tires. Will give me a bit of piece of mind. Do you have those on yours?
Hi, I don’t have limiting straps on mine, I think the tires they are just about OK if suspension fails (or at least OK on access mode). I would be interested to see yours after you fit.
Hi Jay , for any reason cannot open the equipments links , what winch did you install ? Thx
Hi, will have to look at updating links.
We have a Terafirma A12000, on a concealed winch plate of the same brand.
❤ video. Straight to subscribtion😊
1Q remains; If I was to buy a D3 in the summertime (above 6'C), how can I testfire the Webasto provided there is no remote or disgnostic tool to assist? 🤔
Genuine Q as I am to drop my money on a new to us family car😊😊
If you have a suitable code reader with the test functions, like a GAP IID Tool, there is a diesel heater test protocol, that will fire it up and test it.
@@rb9580 cool, thanks for the reply. Dont have the GAP yet but bought both a D3 & a RRS... so definately one to buyp
@@peters2860 I find the GAP tool pays for itself very quickly. I can't imagine running air suspension without one!
Is the 4x4 display an optional extra as I have a D3 2006 se and I don’t have that function just settings and nav . Great video 👍
it was a function on HSE models, it is possible to activate it by cutting one of the wires that also gives you the Range Rover display, only problem with this it also dims the screen.
There is a video out there showing this on somebody else’s channel.
looking to repair coolant leak near the engine, would appreciate any advise thank you
Thanks for the video! Where did you get the roof rack from if you dont me asking?
purchased second hand, it's a genuine Land Rover expedition rack with top section removed.
What is your tyre size? Did you change your lift rods or add something else
Very good ground clearance even without super extended mode!
No it's not on lift rods, The tires are cooper discoverer stt pro 265/70 r17
www.coopertire.co.uk/tires/discoverer-stt-pro-p.o.r
We have talked about them on this video:
th-cam.com/video/rNsq5uua0EA/w-d-xo.html
Wow I m not aware of those extra cup holders at the back. Thanks for the video.
Any idea why my LR3 should error code Transmission Fault and HDC Off?
You really need to have the fault code read to determine what is wrong with the transmission, which is deactivating your HDC.
Glad the cup holders helped.
Hi Jay, great video. Sorry I know its a little old. I'm really liking your roof rack, where did you get it?
I bought it second hand, it’s the bottom half of a genuine Land Rover expedition rack
How long the wood will be enough for those extended model please?😊😊😊
hello, it was a very good video, I watched it many times, but I did not understand how to bring the vehicle to the maximum height, can you help me?
There is a headlamp warning lamp in the dash on the MY07 and up models, i fitted a Llams controller so i can go in super extended at the turn of a dial plus other height changes both up and down.
Thanks, I have considered buying a lift controller as it seems a bit more accessible compared to using OBD tools.
@@JayTeeCars it is,I was using a gap tool but this is much easier and can be done on the fly.
Llams unit was the best upgrade I ever did.
I am looking to get a Discovery 3 or 4, the three has the BMW engine and the four has a Jaguar engine. I would like to stick to diesel, which one and model would you recommend please?
Both the 3 and 4 have a Lion series diesel engine introduced by Ford and developed by JLR for PSA Peugeot Citroen. There are differences in it but the 3.0 is a lot smoother and quieter as well as being newer. Both, however, are good strong engines if well maintained.
@Col G'day mate. The D3 also came out with the Jag 4.4 V8. My wife owns one. Its economical, comfortable, reliable and you have that V8 torque when needed.
We've found that the V8 just ticks along just over idle when its cruising, uses bugger all fuel.
If you can find a good one, i'd recommend that.
The petrol is much more reliable
What size rims and tires do you have on there? My LR3 has 19” rims and I’m going to have to change rim size to open more choices on tires!
Hi Scott, I assume you are in the US as you called it an LR3? If so you probably don't have a diesel, which means the smallest wheels that will fit ar 18 inch. The largest tyres then are 265/65R18 but also be aware if you have a post 2007 model you might need to trim the chassis horns (earlier models don't have and therefore no rubbing).
@@JayTeeCars thank you so much for the reply! I truly appreciate the info!!
I have Land Rover Discovery 3, 2007, 2.7 diesel. Super car
I wonder, if the tail gata open trick works with D4. It's really when camping/sleeping in car.
I guess it probably is the same
Love my LR3, and these are very cool features,....but watching this, did anyone else have Rube Goldberg come to mind? I mean, that back tailgate failsafe technique, with the mechanical latches redundancy for if(lets be honest, when) the electronic button fails!!! My only question now, what is the failsafe for an intermittently powered gage cluster, so I can see how much gas is left on a regular basis!!!!!
Been looking at buying a LR3 but there's to many electronics. My 1992 110 200tdi defender has like 10 wires all the way through the vehicle lol
Yes the LR3 does have a lot of electronics, which have pros and cons.
Perfect car for certain conditions in 🇬🇲
Are these features found in all models, or are any of them optional extras?
I believe they should be on most models, even with the smaller display screen.
Were those rims a stock European option? Didn't see those stateside but I like them alot.
yes, probably not seen in US as only fit on diesel
Nice rangerover bro
it's a land rover..
Most informing thank you very much. May I pose a question to forum please - sure someone will have some advice. Any after fit alternative for the spare wheel winch that keeps on bugging down - poor design in my opinion.
Didn’t know about the rear cup holder or emergency tailgate release.
Ha ha... I thought there must be a few people that hadn’t found the rear cup holders, Thank You!
The fault codes on the LCD are only to do with the infotainment
good stuff Mr, have you got one on the d4
not yet, might have to see if I can borrow someone's to review.
Yeah would love to see what my disco 4 is hiding!
Great information that I didn’t know thank you can you tell me your size wheels and tyres please?
Hi, they are 265/70R17 keep in mind the 17 inch wheels only fit on the D3 diesel (D4 need 18 or 19 depending on brakes)
@@JayTeeCars D3 V8 also only 19” due to brakes
Great Video!
Can you do one for a Toyota Fortuner?
Thanks, at the moment I only have access to my car, but I will think for the future if we can review others.
Hello jay I am watching you from USA. I am thinking about purchasing Lanf Rover LR2 for my 50th birthday. Is it a good vehicle and easy to fix or expensive to fix? Thanks
LR2 are good but prone to rust in body and chassis, as they are now 15 to 20 years old you need to pick one that either has been looked after or parts replaced. They are lower price to fix than LR3/4, and easier to modify.
@@JayTeeCars Thanks Jay i will keep that mind. What year will you recommend, FYI i am on a budget so what would yoy recommend. For example, from 2013 through 2020.
On my lr3 the washing glasses don't work. And I don't find the problem. Pump, fusible are OK.
But I can't hear the sound of pumps. When I pressed a relay washes the glasses of the lamps working.
Nice video. I was just wondering are you using 275/65/18 Cooper STT pro's on it? If so, did you have to do any modification to make them fit? Any rubbing etc.
Hi Mike, it's running 265/70 R17 Cooper STT Pro, no rubbing at normal suspension height. Check out the Top 10 mods video where I talk about them.
@@JayTeeCars I shall do. I was interested if I could squeeze some on my Disco 4 you see. I will be checking that vid out later. Thanks very much. :)
on your D4 depending on which model you have and brakes you are restricted by wheel size, smallest is 18 or 19 inch.
@@JayTeeCars I have Compomotive PD1881 18" wheels for my D4 which is a 2016 model. The first ever Green Lane I did with these was Sarn Helen in South Wales. Apart from the wheels, its a totally standard D4. I think though more manufacturers are making 18" alloys to fit the Disco 4 these days, Moab Alloys will fit. Also Tuffant do a steel wheel so there's 3 potential options for the Disco 4 owner that I know of immediately.
I find the modern land rover wheel size options irritating. They have such massive brakes now that getting a smaller wheel on for a mud tyre is difficult, first you have to find a wheel, and if you can do that, then you have to find a tyre to fit. Though with the new "Defender" having a 18" factory option, that may fit on the other new models with a 5x120 bolt pattern too potentially? Going Green laning or to a pay n play on 20" wheels is doable as you can get AT's but, you have no sidewall to speak of so deflating the tyre is just not possible.
When I went for a set of 16" wheels for my Disco 2, my options were endless! In the end, I just opted for a set of 16" wheels from a scrapped D2 and put some STT pro's on them like you have on your D3.
Hey Mike B, I am running 275/65x18 STT pro Muds on my Discovery 3 V8, it has lift rods fitted and does rub a litle on full lock. I'll be doing a walkaround on the D3 on my channel soon as I only bought it the other day.
Cheers from the states!
Learned two things here after owning an LR3 since 2007.
I had no idea you could manually go from extended to super extended with the brake and switch combo. Super helpful on the trails. It would be great to have a similar trick to get into extended mode. I’ve got the gap tool for that for now.
Second, my upper tailgate has never operated like yours did in the main video and always does what yours did at the end. If I press the dash buttons together or use the third button on the remote (if programmed correctly) to pop open the hatch, it will pop open that slight bit. But if your not pulling on the hatch at that exact moment it’s still latched but not closed. I’ve never thought that was right and now I know that both my LR3’s are not functioning correctly.
Off to investigate now!
Thanks Chad, it's amazing how much stuff is on the LR3.
Regarding seatbelt. Some models you may have to do it 16 times
that is quite a few in/out
@@JayTeeCars Yeah. You can hold the red button in though.
Did you find the menu that prevents the crankshaft from rapidly expanding in to a million pieces? Really nice vehicles just a problem the diesels are so cranky :(
No, I think that menu might be on the D4 (possibly)
driving it properly prevents that one pal
Does anyone know what and how long the MOST test does???
Hello, what are the best brake pads for my 2006 lr3?
Hi, I fitted a set of Borg & Beck recently, I can’t really say how good they are yet as I have only driven a couple hundred miles on them, but they seemed good quality and available from Amazon Prime.
@@JayTeeCars awesome! Thank you!!Semper Fi
Someone PLEASE tell me what fuse number is for my reversing camera , it’s not working
Saw the blooper, the tail gate upper wouldn’t open. so what had you done, and more importantly, how did you resolve it?
From memory, I think I had accidentally locked it.
@@JayTeeCars oppssss!
When in super extended mode, will an engine restart reset this? Id like to drive in super extended 24/7 - i think they look even cooler when higher! thankyou
love the videos, watched several and now subscribed. You alone, made me buy a discovery 3 :) legend
Hi, thanks for the positive feedback and great to hear you joined the Discovery clan.
Engine restart will drop you back to off road height, also if you go over 30mph you will drop to normal height.
This is why I fitted XLifter as it allows you to choose whatever height you like and override the 30mph restrictor.
Having said that, I wouldn't recommend driving on the road at super extended height as the car is more unstable and it puts stress on drive train.
Another cheaper option is to fit Jonson Lift Rods, they basically fool the car in to thinking it is lower, you can buy different lengths to fit your needs.
Good advice from Jay Tee. Realize that when the LR is lifted to max height, you effectively have removed any ability for up-travel on the air shocks (making your ride quality very harsh). The higher lift functions of the LR3/4 are meant for giving you enough clearance to get over an obstacle where progress is more important than ride quality at that moment.
is there AUX in LR3 for audio jack?
Yes at rear of arm rest console (or at least it is on HSE)
No emergency tailgate release on my 2008 NA LR3. And definitely no diesel heater.
I have a problem with ptc and allerts out off nothing, but the selftest shows nothing att all, was a bit disapointing :(
What wheels are those? Size of the rims?
Salve,
Può essere così gentile da scrivermi tutti i segreti del disco3 comprensivi di guida passo passo!
Grazie 🙏
How foolish of me I’ve been clicking the seatbelt on and off seven times and not 8 I feel such a fool Thanks for the video very enlightening
😂 glad it was of help
9:47 everyone, listen close 😂
What... I couldn't hear a thing ;)
No worries mate, grate review anyway
west basto heater? do they work in the east? :))
Haha
poggers
What kind of roof rack is that?
I'm so torn on getting an LR3 or not. Are they really that pricey?
In the UK they are low price to purchase for the amount of car. You need to be aware of potential costs as they can be expensive to fix, but I have only paid out £900 on service and repairs in the last 2 years.
I heard a fart at the 9:45 mark!! 😆
Is this heater only on the diesels? Mine is the V8.
yes, only on diesels
@@JayTeeCars Ah ok! That’s why I’ve never seen it then. I will say that it heats up faster than any car I’ve owned; hence my asking!
What was that noise when you put the block of wood underneath the chassis rail lol
This seems to be the most popular bit of the video
Was that a special feature at 12.16 sounded like a very weak squeaky backfire
It was an out take, we were trying to show the tailgate opening feature, but it seems I accidently locked the car.
Cool jeep
Is the engine heater just on the diesel?
Yes
Haven’t got one on mine, it’s the base model. May of been removed by previous owner though.
🤯 🤯🤯
Good video, was that a trump? 9:47
squeaky wood, I believe, if you believe me!
Don’t seem to have half of t.hose on my Disco 3. Lol
Why you didn't show the mode level change
Could you tell me more about the "model level change"?
9:46 Fart sound xD
Have you actually farted when fitting the wooden blocks underneath!?!?!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what me?🧐
Left out the 3 presets you can get your Landover to do with the 3rd land rover button on your key fob! Or did i just teach you that? Lol. Jk. Can set it to drop the landy, or open tailgate or turn headlights on from a distance. Also you didn't show how to reset moon roof if not functional.
Yep.. in theory that isn’t so much of a secret as it is in the handbook.
I have mine set to switch the lights on/off, as I find that the most helpful.
Thanks for the feedback.
