Thread: Just bought my first Land Rover!

D4's have different front caliper castings which have what is best described as casting bulges on them those bulges, for the want of a better word, restrict fitting smaller than 19" OEM wheels. There are 18" aftermarket wheels that fit sold by Gordon who is a member here.

Back to the V8 D3, 18" OEM rims fit, they were the standard rim for the V8 model, 19's were a option.

Therefore any 18" rim should fit.

Btw ive fixed my pictures in my previous post.

Cheers

The V8 D3 front brake callipers are the same as the 2.7's but mounted to work on a larger disc. The 3.0 callipers are much bigger.

Well this explains why the manufacturer was so sure they would fit. Too bad though, i thought I might have found some options for the D4 owners.

So I forgot to mention the Coolant Level Low message shows in the info section. AHG said they would fix it, but now i'm considering asking them for the parts and getting Barbagallo to do it, because i don't trust them with him.... Worried they're going to reuse the coolant or something stupid.

The coolant level isn't low, looks like this was common on the 05's and is probably the float sinking/stuck and requires a replacement coolant over flow reservoir. And coolant change.

Hmmmm.

Your summary of the problem seems correct. Had to change mine recently.

There could also be a small crack in the plastic thermostat housing, which happens with age it seems. Maybe get it diagnosed by your preferred repairer. A dealer is likely to try cheaper options first.
