It was not particularly going to write a review, because it is so in advance that you will write in the comments. Who makes it difficult, I will tell you:
1. If the LR goes somewhere, it goes to the service.
2. The owners of the LR never greet in the afternoon, because in the morning they have already seen in the service.
Well, nevertheless something issued free time, still I will write. No matter how funny, but in gratitude to the car.
Acquisition history. Funny. All my life, when I was able to afford no longer to acquire products of VAZ, GAZ, UAZ and other pelvis for personal use, I went to Volvo. Starting from the dream of childhood, the 1983 release of the 1983 and passing through 460, S70, S80 reached a wonderful XC70 car. And then it would be necessary to stop, but the new XC70 was released and ... And in spite of all the discounts, Blat, I still got a queue for 4 months on this car. While waited, reflections began to flow from "you need to buy a base + package premium" it will be most liquid when selling and least sensitively when you lose money, before "still buy a car you want and new, why do you want to deprive what you want" . The price began to float from 1.500,000 to 2.100.000 and somewhere so wisely stop in the area of \u200b\u200b1.800,000. Here I began to think that there was not too much money for the wagon, although almost already a business in the last execution. There was a lot nothing to do and I began to consider what is still offered for that kind of money.
And then it was thought that with my passion to auto-designers, not to buy an SUV. According to the principle "in the farm will be useful." In the price plug, LRD3, Tuareg, LC Prado, Pajero 4 were pleased to learn the question. Most just turned out to deal with Pajero. It was enough just to sit in diesel version And ride a test drive. Yes, yes, I understand that it is cheap Ponte that uncle in 215cm is calmly driving in it, but I have been able to grasp it with my 180 to 95. Closed. Further pressed the gas itself and I realized that I had a minibus diesel for work, listen to me a diesel engine and there. Slow acceleration and harsh suspension, and we shake hands with the manager, understanding that marriage for the calculation will not take place. With Prado, of course, it turned out more difficult. Cursed Toyotovskaya reliability Zeja in the head all the time while inspiring the car. Pimpically lanterns rear, again the absence of a pneumon, xenon, a poor salon, a tape recorder from the last century and complete absence Acoustics + to the eternal Japanese "out of the floor stick together 2 kochergi and in general you want a Ponte - to you in Lexus," everything was visible, but the damned reliability so and got it "yes and figs can be with it." As a result, it was turned away when CASCO was calculated. Pay for the satellite, for servicing the satellite, for CASCO a total of about 270-300 thousand in the first year I somehow did not want it at all. Especially the experience of the neighbor just with Prado said that the satellite would not be in good faith, where your car eventually left the store. But the insurance, staring for two with the owners of the 300,000 satellite owners, conscientiously hesitates the payment of interest on 18 for "depreciation in the first year" and will come out that in fact you will return a million. It is necessary to make a retreat here and say that I do not accept complaints about "Think, the salon is not rich, the music of garbage, but how it pulls on the sand and dirt." I drive roads, sometimes without roads. But not on Ladoga Trofi. And while I drive inside the car, I want me to be inside comfortable, and not think about where this UAZ can drive. This is a personal wish to car. Let's go further. Tuareg prevented his salon, which is where is better than any of this four. And but it did not prevented him no best reliability"Koi I watch constantly driven by your VW bus on that, and completely unscrupulous" packages "of the options that caught up with the price of Tuareg to 2.150.000 easily and easily. While the price of LRD3 and PRADO was taken after the base at 1.750.000r. Well, do not forget that the XC70NEW climbed into the same money. This is all in comparable grades, for example, Tuareg was taken with leather and pneumatic and xenon. At D3, it was all the case immediately in HSE.
Total cheerfully climbed into LRD3. Compared to the XC70 there were the following advantages.
- For so much money as much car.
- Honest SUV.
- Comfortably quite inside.
- And how comfortable on the go with his pneuma.
- For regular great music.
- The light did not see anyone anyone.
- The controversial thing exterior, but I like the chopped design. Somewhere I read that the pseudoscromicity of the cabin and the exterior is caused by the fact that "Militari Style is permanently perfect." I liked the thought.
- From this "Refrigerator" with a dieselm total weighing 2800kg + driver is not waiting for such fets on acceleration, which it opens. It, of course, RRS C TDV8 is much faster, a guy, but I don't need so quickly. But taxes from a completely different opera :)
As a result, the money for the XC70 took, taken to LRD3. Not long waited, 2 weeks, got, got climbed, began to ride. Hound 400km about and nat. The famous quality gave itself to know. Let's leave antifreeze. And here it all became clear to me about these sayings, about that, and here the car, and where is the rest. A penny problem is a wonderful service turned into a two-month marathon. Every time the car returning the car after 50km of run with a diagnosis of "leave again", I felt not just not just necessary for this wonderful place where it bought it. And just an enemy. The service conscientiously soap the car, taped antifreeze from the jar and gave back. Do not do anything. Just stunned from this approach to the client. As a result, the seller was already ready for the return of the car, but risked to come back to competitors. There was surprisingly did not make a fool of me and everyone carefully examined. 40 minutes and diagnosed. Braified valve changed. Here are the car. Or maybe not a car? Or maybe not factory marriage? After all, according to the second service in the car, Lasili still. I have already crumbled suspicions then that while I translated money without money in the salon, she simply used as a "donor" for some paid repairs. I can't say completely, but some internal investigation quite allowed to allow it.
After the question has closed with repair, the summer has come, it's time for my travels. What can I say. 5 times dull from Peter for Pskov, 1 time to Moscow. This is from the distant. Sold outs in 200km in one direction makes no sense to mention. There were no problems and questions. The car is almost perfect for long-range runs. Pneuma allows not to beat the fifth point, the car is very stable on the road, the permutations during overtakers performs very correctly, at the level a passenger car. Sports mode is perfect in automatic transmission. there is manual switching Transmissions, but they make sense to use on asphalt. Sport and went on overtaking - there are simply no questions. I went back and forth to Moscow for a day - neither the back did not sore anything. I just wanted to sleep terribly :)
I had a chance to ride and off-road is not very problematic, but still. There are no questions, despite 3 tons of mass, disable DSC, choose the program and forward. It is necessary only to consider rubber. But by the way, you wear a staff summer tires Chains - rushing better than MT.
Diesel his one of the best, which saw at all. BMW has the same excellent diesel. And the more such has not yet seen. Wonderful motor.
As a result, the car really likes. Service does not really like it :)
On questions about the car. During operation, it came to the following conclusion. The car is like a fighter fourth generation. Those. It seems that everything is the same as on the IL-2 times of war, handles, steering wheel, and then you put the pilot of the time of the war in SU current. He will not fly. Here is about the same. Talmud for use must be realized. Where about the SUV, to read more than once. And even better to take a coupon on expirers and learn to manage this tank at instructors. Because they can not be satisfied with it easily and easily on MT rubber, and then stand and open the mouth as an instructor are laid on the standard M + s.
Here is a list of famous "diseases" of the SUV, in my opinion with colleagues and on the service:
1. Sudden electronics failures treated with a restart engine. I personally did not come across. Two whom I know buddies either did not come across. The service has the opinion that since 2005, the refinement of electronics has led to the fact that the number of failures has become insignificant. The very first models were sick and though. However, for example, such things often happened in people who chased over 100km / h in winter, I personally found out. At the same time, the people did not pour antigels in diesel fuel. Presumably, the car in the end in the cold at speed is not enough fuel, which is not able to pump the pump when it thickened in the highways. Do not forget that Euro4 requires several pressure. And, therefore, the fuel must match! Freilender 2 In such cases, by the way, it limits the power of the car and writes it on the display. Well here more old carShe looks like it pulls how much it can, then a Christmas tree on the panel and cut down. I'm not married to diesel for the first day, I know what country I live, an additive in the offseason and in winter it is necessary to Lew. B -20 drove 100km / h - no problems watched.
2. Allegedly unreliable ball supports and knocks in the steering. Having traveled with a friend, about understanding why this is. Well, of course, if the car is heavy, equipped with a pneumatic suspension, then you can cut the same 120 on any pits and have fun. Think about the fact that three tons, sputtering on the aums, will break any ball, well, why. In the cabin gently :)
3. incorrect behavior on off-road. Some call him a parquet. Here the humor is most likely that when choosing a program for off-road people, the people stupidly twist "Winter, which means snow", while the programs are configured quite conditionally, for example: the sand program is customized on driving on dry sand, and when I planted Disco on this program when driving on the shore of the lake. Then put the program "Dirt" and Alya ... Wonderful transformation. So you need to think your head, if I don't want to read the manual, the properties of the soil are described there for each program. The buddy sues him, for example, putting the program, but without turning off the DSC. Then she tried to understand why he crushes gas to the floor, and the car does not go :)
4. Problem with TNVD. There are a number of refused TNVD new euro sample. LR changes them in stock, I also replaced, although mine was fine. It is difficult to say with what is connected, most likely the poor-quality pump is actually. Pleases. that the problem is not rejected. Call and change.
For the rest, of course, everything can break everything, this is the machine, but did not observe total queues.
For mileage 17,000 In addition to the incomprehensible case, there are no problems with the valve.
For me personally, this car approached all 100. As a good English costume. :) However, possession of such a computerized car imposes certain responsibilities on those. His staff at the driver and on the driver, including. It's hard to say, it's good or bad, TLC Prado does not require such attention, but this is a car from the past already, from the century of mechanics. Discovery The first car from the century of electronics. As in all new, he has its drawbacks, but it seems that progress went this way and it is inevitable. TLC 200 has also seen on the reboot of software in the service, also hung. And before that I saw S80New, which died when firmware her established PTF. But without it there will be all the comfort that we wish. So read the manuals, sign up for courses to get the complete pleasure of driving these SUVs of the new generation and it is necessary to comply with :)
I like the car. What I wish everyone!
Land Rover Discovery 3 appeared in 2004. The style of the car is not particularly changed compared to previous versionAlthough many elements have been modified. The body is based on the discovery 3 integrated frame. Car suspension - independent, more expensive equipment equipped with a pneumatic suspension. In 2008 this english car Subjected to restyling, albeit with minimal changes. In 2009, the next (fourth) version of Discovery was published.
Completed car 4.0 and 4.4-liter gasoline engines V6 and V8 (218 and 295 forces) and a turbo diesel "V-sample" 2.7 liters (190 forces). In Russia, cars were sold with motors 4.4 (448pn) gasoline and 2.7 (276dt) turbodiesel.
Specifications engines land Rover Discovery III.
As for the diesel engine, it is quite weak for such a car mass. But, oddly enough, the average consumption of diesel fuel is 10-12 liters per hundred. Diesel engine Discovery 3 very capricious.
The main problems of diesel engines are associated with the injection and turbine system. Two-mask flywheel, we must give him due, walks longer than other cars with the same engine and clutch. More car equipped summer filter. If Discovery 3 is mainly operated in the city, then the problems are guaranteed. Soha scores the Valve EGR, there were even cases of failure of the crankshaft because of this.
Diesel glow candles do not want to get out normally. Replacing the timing belt (whom this car has two) is a very expensive occupation due to the complexity of the work - the second belt driven by the fuel pump is in the back of the engine near the gearbox.
Against this background, gasoline DVS (by the way, from Ford) look more attractive. Motors love gasoline very much - 4.4-liter in the city will not eat less than 20 liters per hundred.
Like all cars of the Land Rover, Discovery 3 has a brand system of a full drive with a blocked rear differential. Application special System Terrain Response Ease allows you to overcome some off-road, in which it will allow to climb relatively small clearance.
Discovery was completed with two gearboxes - 6-MCPP and 6-automatic transmission.
In the crash tests, the car received four stars from Euroncap.
As you know, all car Land Rover do not differ in high reliability. But it is worth saying that the third discovery is more reliable than the preceding model.
As for the suspension, the ball supports and silent blocks of the front levers quickly fail in practice. Pneumatic pillows and a compressor in "tricky" equipment failed closer to 200 thousand km of run. Their replacement requires just fantastic costs. Wiring Discovery 3 also Caprip - its "glitches" will be reflected on the car's screen multiple errors.
When buying Discovery 3 it is worth checking steering rackthat loves to flow and knock. Weak place This model is the steering thrust.
Complained complaints about the leaks of the CAT, the occasionally there were damage to the Kardan support, differential and Kardan himself.
Somewhere I heard such a saying: "If your Land Rover does not flow, then you bought not a lend rover."
Violation of regulatory terms; then or the use of uncommitted types technical fluids Quickly wear rapids.
Another common problem is cracked hatch. Moreover, it is not possible to find a whole utility.
Discoveryiii very complex carwhich requires repair only in specialized services. Moreover expensive repair. For example, cars equipped with pneumatic suspensionAfter replacing the steering, execute the procedure of disorder variables only on a special computer.
The body of this car is not inclined to corrosion, which you can not say about his frame. It is worth checking her condition before buying.
In general, large, spacious inside the car, with good fully drive and original design. The car is richly equipped and has increased comfort. But all the work on its maintenance and repair (and spare parts including) are very expensive, and require specialized equipment.
A selection of reviews, video review and test drives Land Rover. Discovery 3:
Crash test land. Rover Discovery III:
03.12.2016
It has an ambiguous image and a dubious reputation. However, becoming one day the owner of this car, many become Yary Fans of the Model for many years, but there are also many skeptics that get rid of the car, facing insignificant car problems. Among the skeptics even a joke: if the gentleman is not in the service, but drives around on his Discovery, it does not mean that his car is in order. Just the Mr. They are two of them - while one is repaired, he rides the second. Despite this, you can hardly find another such car with such a curious development history and unusual design elements. New Discovery It was created in the spirit of fashion trends, because buyers wanted from SUVs, first of all, beauty and comfort, and even then - permeability. It cannot be said that the off-road characteristics of the machine deteriorated, but structurally it became much more difficult and when buying it should be borne in mind that repairing the car yourself in the garage is unlikely to succeed.
A bit of history:
Land Rover Discovery - The mid-sized SUV, which first appeared on the market in 1989, in total, at the moment, four generations were issued. The second generation appeared in 1998, despite the fact that the novelty did not differ from the predecessor, its design has undergone significant changes. Land Rover Discovery 3 appeared on the market in 2004. The car was significantly different from its predecessors - continuous bridges, framework and manual control Locks remained in the past. Work on the development of new technical solutions turned into large problems and costs, due to the fact that the car has a complex design and an abundance of electronics, the number of failures of the main nodes and aggregates exceeded the average indicator. Optimism was added that the manufacturer quickly reacted to the shortcomings and tried to eliminate his mistakes.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Land Rover Discovery 3 with Mileage
For Land Rover Discovery 3, which officially supplied to the CIS market, two power units were intended - turbodiesel 2.7 (190 hp) and gasoline 4.4 (300 hp). The gasoline motor is not in great demand among motorists, it is possible that that is why characteristic problems So they were unprecedented, except for too much fuel consumption up to 20 liters per 100 km. Diesel Motor is a joint development of the company "" and the Alliance " Peugeot Citroen" The force aggregateWith due service, it will last 500,000 km and more, but despite this, it has enough flaws. So, in particular, even with small runs, a nagar appears on the recycling valves of EGR exhaust gases, which, with time, leads to their abandonment. The main features about the need to clean or replace the valves are the deterioration of dynamic engine indicators and difficult launches. Often, the owners are numbered and the reliability of the valve cooler Egr..
Also, frequent cases of failure TNVD and the submersible fuel pump, over time, the manufacturer upgraded both pumps, after which they became much reliable. There are often cases of extrusion of oil through the front of the crankshaft, it happens so quickly that, often the car will reach the service without oil and with a knocking engine. The main reason is the incorrect operation of the oil pump, over time, the manufacturer upgraded this node. Also, to systemic disadvantages can be attributed: the turning of the crankshaft liners, the malfunction of the bypass pipe exhaust system, oil temperature sensor and crank mechanism.
Fuel nozzles are sensitive to fuel quality, and, if avoiding refueling with poor-quality dielair, they will serve 100-120 thousand km, the same resource has incandescent candles. One of the advantages of this motor is the resource of the turbine, properly operation She will serve not one hundred thousand km, but, in the event of her breakdown, you will have to fork. This power unit has a sufficiently large appetite as for a diesel engine - on average 14 liters in the city. But, thanks to a considerable volume of the tank (85 liters), it is possible to avoid frequent visits to refuel. 
Transmission
Land Rover Discovery 3 can be equipped with a six-speed mechanics and automatic transmission with the same amount of gear. As the operating experience has shown, the mechanic has proven in terms of reliability. W. automatic transmissionAfter 130000 km of mileage, jerks and shocks may appear when switching gear and movement in traffic. Often, changing the problem helps zeroing errors in the transmission control unit, but if it does not help, the torque converter is to be replaced. If, constantly use the car as a full-fledged SUV, problems with full drive can begin. The fact is that the inter-axis clutches are very afraid of large loads and overheating, as a result, with constant slippers, the coupling quickly wear out that in the future leads to expensive repair of the transmission. If the locking of the rear differential is denied, for sure, the servomotor of its drive is to blame. Occasionally, there are cases of damage cardanian Vala, His supports and front differentials. To extend the life of the transmission, reducer and dispensing box, it is recommended to change the oil and filter in them at least once every 80,000 km.
Salon
Land Rover Discovery 3 has a comfortable fit and excellent visibility. In the interior, the British tried to adhere to minimalism, they succeeded in something. Finishing materials and noise insulation of good quality, as a result, foreign Summas There is a big rarity in the cabin. Also, the advantages include the audio system, as the quality of her sound will envy most owners premium cars. Electrical equipment is not particularly reliable. Of the main flaws, you can allocate: failure sound signalDue to the failure of the ABS sensor, the speedometer stops, an arbitrary switching off the radio, the failure of the main off-road discovery dyskovery - Terrain Response system. Another household problem is a castle failure rear doorAccording to statistics, breaks on each second machine. 
Electrician
The biggest disadvantage of the car is electronics. The problems in electronics are divided into two groups: 1 - software failure, 2 - wiring contacts. Due to the raw software, everything could leave all anything, so reflashing the main control units accounted for almost every possible car maintenance. Naturally, each other problem was becoming less and less, and with time, almost all the shortcomings were solved, and those that remained, often manage to eliminate the usual reboot of the system. But with oxidized contacts, everything is more complicated - the main problem places There are hinges of the rear left wheel wiring, and the electric drive of the interstole differential. The loss of communication in the chain is usually accompanied by lowering the body into the middle or lower position and flickering, like a Christmas tree, dashboard. Often, the owners comes to the loss of contacts in fog Paras and turn signs.
Range Quality Land Rover Discovery 3 With Mileage
The main differences of the third generation of discovery from predecessors is considered to be fully independent suspension With the ability to change clearance. Such innovation, the manufacturer has significantly impruded the smoothness of the stroke, the handling and passability of the car. Despite the fact that pneumatic balls are protected by metal casing, problems with them - the phenomenon is quite common. Due to the unsuccessful location of the compressor (near the rear left wheel), very often inexperienced employees still confuse it with a support for the jack. There are cars and with a conventional suspension, but they are rare on secondary market. Suspension Land Rover Discovery 3 is very weak, as for the car of this class, and in our realities it has to be sorting out, on average, once every 60-80 thousand km.
Most often, the racks of the stabilizer and the silent blocks of the front levers are faced (replacement of 40-50 thousand km), front hub bearings (change assembly with swivel fists), ball supports and steering tips will serve a little longer - to 70-80 thousand km. Pneumatic suspension requires special attention to himself (it is necessary to check the pneumatic balls for cracks to prevent the operation of the compressor to idle) and with due care he will serve 100-120 thousand km. Unlike many cars with a pneumatic system, the repair of running Discovery 3 is not expensive. Up to 100,000 km appears the backlash in the steering rail and, if it is immediately not repaired, then, over time, the rail will have to be replaced, and this is not a cheap pleasure - about 1500 cu.
Outcome:
Choosing a used Land Rover Discovery 3 Try to avoid cars of the first years of release, the fact is that every year the manufacturer eliminated more disadvantages, as a result, most of the shortcomings managed to eliminate. We can safely say that myths about the unreliability of this car remained in the past, therefore, the purchase of this model in the secondary market is a very reasonable solution.
Advantages:
Frame design body.
Rich equipment.
Comfortable suspension.
Audio system ( Harman Kardon.).
Disadvantages:
When operating a car in a metropolis on the frame, corrosion appears.
Big flow Fuel.
A small resource of the suspension.
Not a very reliable electrician.
Previous generations of Land Rover Discovery (first and second generation) deliver a lot of trouble to your owners to this day. True, with each new generation, problems became less.
For example, the 2nd generation that has been produced since 1998 and to 2004 turned out to be more survivable than the first. But since 2004 and to 2009 began to produce the 3rd generation of Discovery, now we will figure it out in more detail with this car in terms of technical troubles and difficulties in operation.
The first and most noticeable difference of the 3rd generation is that many different electronics have become really used in it. For example, is Terrain Response - a system that allows you to adjust the suspension, motor, gearbox and even brakes using the joystick. But as you know, the more electronics, the more problems, as the electronics often fails after a while.
If on the first cars of this generation stood slightly damp, and glitches were very often seen in the work of the equipment, then on newer cars it was necessary to update it very often softwareWhat is also troublesome. Over time, problems with software were corrected.
In addition, a few years of use this car problems appear with contactsThe insulation rotates the wiring, and the connectors bloom, so they have to lubricate with solidol. Sound may disappear from such contacts with contacts, the turn signals themselves can turn on, even the door locks can be blocked. But the most important thing is the Terrain Response system from this strongly suffers. For example, even if the contact is lost with aBS sensorThe speedometer can disconnect, and all the lights of the instrument panel can also catch fire and even the suspension can fall into the middle position.
In most cases, instead of spring on the discovery of the 3rd generation, pneumatic elements are facing, which can also prevent a lot of problems with their owners. For example, the replacement of the piston compressor alone will cost 1250 euros. During off-road driving, it is worth remembering that this compressor is located near the left rear wheeland it can be easily damaged if there is no special protection that is an additional option. Also, during the replacement of the wheels it is worth reminding employees of a hundred so that they do not think that the compressor casing is a place for the jack.
There are cases when Land Rover Discovery 3 can fall on one side - here may be the case in suspension Wheel Sensor (There are only 4 pieces, each of which costs about 100 euros). It may also be the fact that it disappeared with tightness on pneumatic bullons. Usually, this happens approximately after 130,000 km. Male, because microcracks appear in the rubber shell. New pneumatic bullons cost about 500 euros. Approximately after the same 130 thousand km. Mileage it comes time to change shock absorbers On the usual spring suspension. The price for the front shock absorbers is 250 euros, and on the rear - 350 euros. As for the wheel bearings, they can fail even earlier - their replacement will cost 200 euros for the front, and in 80 euros for the rear. All because to the front hub bearings Swivel cams are included.
On those cars that were released until 2008 after 40,000 km. the suspension begins to rumble and require bulkhead. And it is quite frequent on these cars. You can install stronger ball supports, they are considered strengthened and cost 50 euros, it is also often necessary to change the silent blocks of the levers, even though not expensive - about 15 euros. But the steering tips serve not more than 60,000 km. And they can be changed separately from the entire steering mechanism.
Yes, and the steering mechanism itself may require attention, here rack mechanism, He has after 60 thousand km. lays may appearIt is better to adjust it to immediately, it will cost cheaper than buying a new rail for 1000 euros. And if you suddenly appear in the steering shaft, where the cardan is attached, then you do not need to rush to fix this situation very much, but it can always be done, replacing the shaft about 150 euros.
In the discovery of the 3rd generation there is a locking of the rear differential. But over time it may refuse, due to the fact that it is poorly protected from the mud electric motor of the lock drive. As a rule, if the car trafficking off-road, then the mud on the blocking of the lock cannot be avoided. If you clean the motors, the blocking will earn again, the truth is briefly. At all, change electric motors warranty locks, and if you do this at your own expense, such a replacement will fall out at 900 euros, and if the motor is restored at the factory, it will have to fork about 550 euros. By the way, if the rear differential lock will refuse it, it may also mean that the distribution control unit broke. This block is in the pumproom space, near the battery. If you suddenly decide to wash the engine, then you need to do it carefully, so as not to wet this block, because it does not like water.
As for gearboxes, dispensing box, mechanical box ZF, then they serve a long time and do not create problems. There are modifications from 6 step box Machine ZF 6HP26, then it is necessary to just follow the seals of the trees and for oil pump, together with its seals, especially after 15,000,000 km. Run. If you ride more quickly, with slipping, it will lead to a faster wear of the hydrotransformer, and twitching will also appear during the ride. To make the transmission bulkhead, you need to lay out about 2500 euros. There are such cases that after an off-road raid, the automatic box will begin to confuse the transmission, and switch them to jerks, it may be a case in the box control unit. You can reset the settings in this block and the problem will be done by itself.
On the russian market Most dyskovery 3 - diesel. This is usually a V6 Motor with a volume of 2.7 liters, which was developed by the joint efforts of such companies as Land Rover, Ford, Jaguar and Peugeot Citroen.
These motors use the power system COMMON RAIL.where Siemens nozzles are installed, each of which costs 500 euros. Instead of solenoids, piezoelements cost, so it is necessary to refuel only with high-quality fuel. Poor-quality fuel does not like not only the motor, and also autonomous heater Webasto.To repair it, you must lay out about 500 euros. If it really faded embossed fuel, then the troubles that immediately can immediately see - it will appear thick smoke on the left side, near the front wheel.
On the engines that were released until 2007, refusals often occur due to the fact that the exhaust gas recycling valves are clogged. The new such valve costs about 300 euros. If the valves have been hampered, the symptoms will be the loss of power, as well as the engine will be bad. And if you got a diesel Discovery 3, modified to Euro-4, then you must remember that there were frequent cases on these machines that the fuel pump was replaced high pressure. Many such cars were withdrawn under warranty. If this node is changed independently, then the cost will be 1,500 euros. High pressure fuel pump is installed in block collapse, so if breaking front bearing, then the diesel fountain will beat the fountain throughout the inclined space - a pole of smoke will appear, such that the driver will remain unforgettable memories. Therefore, so that in the future there were no such troubles with the car released until 2009, follows learn from the seller whether the warranty pump was replaced.
The turbine breaks very rarelyBut if it happens, then its repair will be quite problematic, because it is uncomfortable to climb it, it is necessary to shoot many details, so such work will cost at least 500 euros. There are more simple problems with the turbine, to eliminate which you just need to change the rotor with bearings that are 500 euros. But if this is not done, you will have to buy a new node that will cost 2,600 euros.
Also important check the coolant level: If it is not enough, it can mean that a crack appeared in the heat exchanger of the recirculation system.
And in general, diesel engine Pretty resistant, he has a rather low degree of compression, so its resource is quite large - more than 500 thousand km. It is also important not to forget to change the timing belt every 120 thousand km. If the belt is not renewed in time and breaks, it will have to buy a new block of cylinders, because it is impossible to repair it, and its cost is 4500 euros. Cheaper will throw out such a car.
AT petrol versions The aluminum block of cylinders is used. Motor from jaguar V8 and in the TRM drive installed a chain that does not require replacement at all. This motor Does not create serious problems, there are some little things like replacing gaskets and seals after 120 thousand km. Run. This 8-cylinder engine is adapted for off-road driving, even with different angles Roll, oil is always where it is necessary, thereby missing oil starvation. In rare cases, it happens that refuse fuel pumps that are 150 euros for new ones, it also happens that the ignition coils are denied (new 60 euros), nozzles, each of which costs 250 euros, servo drive throttle valve - 350 euros.
There is less powerful petrol motor From Ford - V6, the volume of 4 liters, it is a rather rare engine, it was put on the American and Australian versions only, so in Russia it can be found extremely rare.
Body
As you know, the body on the first generation was considered a real problem - a rust appeared at the joints. On the 3rd generation of discovery began to use the winged metal only on the hood and in the door of the trunk doors. All other parts of the body are made of galvanized steelFor which the rust is nothing.
Land Rover is not the same trouble-free as a lend crue, but in terms of reliability of Discovery 3 no worse than Volkswagen Taureg. The 3rd generations of Discovery really became lucky to their predecessors. And the fact that electronics sometimes climbs is the usual thing in automotive world. Now the 4th generations of Discovery are sold in full swing, but we will talk about it next time.
In August 2009, in connection with the birth of the second child, it was necessary to change the car on which at that moment went, for something more and more suitable. At that time, I had almost 4 years old "watched" the English classic all-day Land Rover brand, had enough experience of riding them and therefore it was decided to start exploiting the "product" with which he worked. The model also decided quickly - this definitely had to be the discovery of the third generation at that time. This model was distinguished by absolute versatility and was relevant in almost all life situations - you can come to the restaurant, to the theater, for serious negotiations, while you can safely go hunting / fishing, climb into a serious off-road, go to the cottage with a seedler and a bunch "Barachla", you can carry building materials, furniture and large household appliances; The only place where on this car "is better not to smoke" - a racing track.
Regarding the shortest searches, they led to the acquisition of the Used Disco 3 2008 with a Turbodiesel V6 of the working volume of 2.7 liters, automatic box Zermatt Silver Silver Color Gear with 15,000 km mileage. The family took this car immediately - large, comfortable, roomy, comfortable.
With this disco, we consisted quite a lot: Seliger, St. Petersburg, Kursk region. Sometimes it was necessary to use it as a "bus" - at the same time 12 people were driven by off-road in it - 6 adults and 6 children:
During the trip to Seliger, we decided to go to the local attraction - a silver lake. Local said that there "Rouh", which turned out to be the depth "to you on the belt ..." ((c) x / f "And dawns here are quiet.)
Before you forcing the Brod, it was free and studied, so there was no risk, but after a trip to the car, the original Schnorker was immediately installed and the intake path from the snorkel to the air filter was sealed.
This car served faithfully 2 years, I drove 60,000 km on it without any problems, but unfortunately he got into a serious accident, which was "tamed" by the insurance company
By the way - there was not a single scratch on the driver. From the scene of the DTP disco went to his move.
The question "what to take in return" was not even discussed. Paraphrasing Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky: "Better disco can only be a newer disco!"
And in October 2011, Discovery 3 2009 was purchased with a mileage of 40,000 km Booking Blue HSE buckling, too, diesel. Schnorkel was immediately installed on him, the protection of the air suspension compressor and the protection of the steering and extras. Lights far Lightas in the previous one. They give the finished look of the car and help well on the tracks without lighting at night.
I often adhere to the "principle" that "a pure SUV - a shame of the owner," therefore, only such a photo:
In terms of transportation of people, this disco "not far left" from the predecessor:
At the moment, the car has passed 194.000 km. Maintenance Strictly every 12,000 km, replacing the oil in the automatic transmission with a pallet every 48000 km, cleaning / washing radiators each spring. From the breakdowns - the rear silent blocks of the front lower levers on the run of 85,000 km and now they need to be changed for the second time, the rear Shs-s on the mileage of about 90,000 km, the pump on the run 150.000 km, the EGR valve twice. More than anything serious remember difficult. A / m is operated every day. Not always on asphalt. Twice went to St. Petersburg and twice on the Black Sea. Children "require", that would not change the "blue" as long as possible.
Like the predecessor, he was a "submarine" - Schnorkel was useful, with something not on the hard off-road, and in the city
As the "old" English saying says: "If you are the owner of the Land Rover, then you must have two - while one in the service, on the second ride." Therefore, I am the "Right Wiring" - I have two of them. Yet Range Rover Ckassic.
But it's a separate story.
