Anyone know this D4?

[~Rich~]

Hi Guys,
Does anyone here know this D4?
Looks fantastic, pity I would have to fork out another $60000 on top of mine to buy it. :(

2012 Land Rover Discovery 4 Series 4 SDV6 HSE MY12 CommandShift (http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-2708531)

Look at the wheels............

[rufusking]

First I've seen of those rims. Any idea where to source them? A quick search didn't bring them up.

[Tombie]

18" on a 3.0l hmmm

[~Rich~]

18" Dakar Rally rims rated to 1400kg

[Basil135]

Nice looking car.

Just to save everyone doing the same, I have emailed the seller & asked him about the rims.

Stay tuned for further updates.

[Geedublya]

I have looked at these rims previously the offset is illegal in Australia. http://www.zurims.com/

[letherm]

Wonder why he has different rego plates front to rear ?

[~Rich~]

Personalized plates put on latter than the first photo.
Selling it with the Folome plates.

[Tombie]

Rich.. They aren't Dakar, they're very much ZU rims profile...

But puzzled as to what he's done to get them on a 3L

[minibloodhound]

I'm looking at the weight he's carrying on the roof. At least 120kg just in fluids, let alone the gear in front. Would make cornering very interesting.

That is one nice D4:

- 6 x 18" Dakar Rally rims rated to 1400kg + 6 x Maxxis BigHorn MT-764 (valued at $6000)

They look like ZU rims.

38mm offset. I wonder if they fit over the callipers or whether he did what Graeme did & put the 2.7 gear on? cheap from the UK:~200GBP

I have looked at these rims previously the offset is illegal in Australia. Zu Rims Ltd - World Class Rims! (http://www.zurims.com/)

Are Dakar Rally rims made by Zurims - the rims on my 101 look like ZuRims but they are a different brand.

They fit over the calipers and a lot of the D4 owners in South Africa are running them. The offset helps with the clearance issues.
The reason why the GOE/Compomotive rims are special is because they clear the rims with a legal offset.

[Tombie]

That's a generic comment...
In South Australia they would be legal...

[gghaggis]

Seems too good to be true .....

5" lift rods??!! Maybe it means they're 5" long ?

800NM to the gearbox - don't think so ......... :eek:

ZU rims rated to 1400Kg - there's an ongoing dispute in the UK over that (they fit the callipers if you grind them down a bit).

Cheers,

Gordon

Happy to be shown otherwise, but AFAIK it's still a max 13mm variation in S.A. - the exception is for 4WD's with front and rear beam axles.

He's dreaming asking that much.

The accessories might all have cost that mush when they were put on, but on the 2nd hand market, they do not hold their value, even when on a car like this one.

[chuck]

If you were allowed a 25mm track increase would this make the Zu Rims legal i.e. 53 - 38 = 15mm

Just read the Vic Roads modification code and it says 25 mm track increase is OK.

[gghaggis]

Track increase is total variation ie 15mm + 15mm.

Cheers,

Gordon

I don't know this guy very well but he used to go to the same gym as I did and we have discussed our vehicles many times and I have looked carefully at it. It is a very nice vehicle with no expense spared on it. It has done a Simpson crossing to my knowledge and apparently performed extremely well. He has to run the rods all the time to give clearance for the tyres. They are ZU rims. It has a ling range tank, a very nicely kitted out roof rack, great whites LED driving lights, nice lights on the rack. Rock Terra Firma rock sliders etc. a very nice rig.

Agree though that he is asking too much, but not a lot too much, if you could get it for about $80-$85k I reckon you would be doing pretty well, I would be tempted at about $80k.

[~Rich~]

Down to $88990 now.

Keep going and he may get more interest.

( But alas not me, I'm keeping mine and doing some updates)

[Basil135]

The owner got back to me regarding the wheels.

The company is Europrestige (02) 4577 9584.

Maybe if someone is interested...

Second that.

Plus if you read the fine print, rims and tyres in photo are $4,000 extra - $92,990 as photographed! :eek:

- 5 x standard Land Rover 19" rims and 5 x Cooper MTZ
- OPTIONAL - 6 x 18" Dakar Rally rims rated to 1400kg + 6 x Maxxis
BigHorn MT-764 (add $4000 to list price)

Ah, I was wondering why he had put the standard rims back on when I saw the car the other day.

[~Rich~]

Funny how in the original add and then the first lower price one both the sets of rims where included with no additional cost.

He is still dreaming. :angel:

[sniegy]

Just another note to any prospective buyer.
The "Free Corporate Servicing" is NOT transferrable.

Don't get caught.:mad:

Cheers:D

Just looked up from iPhone on the daily commute over the harbour bridge and who do I see but FOLOME!
Would much rather be in a D4 than this bus. Why do bus drivers think the brake pedal is an on/off switch?! Grrr
