Thread: New D4 is ordered - now some questions!

Hi Mickyd, I too have gone from Landcruisers to Discos. I am interested to know why you changed

Go the 3L... much better power you dont need the 17's... just get some MTR on the 19's

Neither 17" nor 18" will currently fit the 3.0 without brake modifications.

Well, the V8 100 Series has been 4 years of rock solid, bullet proof and reliable 4WDing. I've installed a ARB Bull Bar, winch, Lightforce spotties, roof rack, Blackwidow storage and a long range fuel tank. For Sale if you're interested!

Hence my reluctance to change!

But it just lacks character! And I've always wanted a Disco Furthermore the new Cruiser is too big and poor value for money!

So hopefully the D4 will be as rock solid, reliable and bullet proof - with some character!!!

Now back to the 17" - will I be able to easily purchase legal 17" rims that fit??? Or else it's back to the 3.0ltr

Many long debates about the 3L vs 2.7L rims. You wont get smaller rims on the 3L. only option is for AT or MTR on the 19's. Do a search and you get a big drink, because they are long reads....

I would seriously and strongly recommend the 3L. Its such a better drive with the extra power on and offroad.

Did you drive the 3L?

Dorko

Dorko, yep, drove both... The 3.0ltr is spectacular But after much consideration I just couldn't bear spending my 4wding worrying about tire and rim damage - hence the decision on the 2.7ltr.

But if I can't easily find a legal 17" rim to put on the 2.7ltr I'll change my order to the 3.0ltr!!!

Man I feel like I'm back at square one

You should easily find 17's on the 2.7L as it has the smaller brakes.

Wont LR swap you for smaller rims?

My friendly LR dealer stated "our internal policy is not to fit 17" rims as they are not a standard option. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do...but I can send you down the road"
