Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Was thinking the dreaded torque converter issue. Now at 212000km. After some unsuccesful / non result troubleshooting at home, I took it into my indie, and they diagnosed that both engine mounts have/are failing. They are active mounts and at present don't hold vacuum anymore, hence the vibration when at idle.

Currently none in stock in Perth, but relatively easy to replace. I am ordering some from o/s, been advised to use genuine only. Plus no issues found with transmission or anything else, so pretty happy with that.

Will update once replaced.

Update 13/7:

2 new engine mounts (genuine LR140113)ordered from island 4x4. AF doesn't do them which I find interesting, I emailed and got a reply almost straight away, not listed on their site. Rimmers was too dear. Ended up paying 321 AUD delivered to my door for the set. For reference, Rovacraft here in Perth quotes 242 each. Now to wait for the postman then off to my indie for fitment.

Wear is hard to say with such little is but if there is any it’s very very minimal.

I do have 17 Inch Steel rims on the D3 for off-road/long distance so unsure if they are available in the required size for you.

Haven't tried the Wildpeak AT3 but keen to do so. Toss up between them and Maxxis Razr 811 or sticking with the trustee Wrangler Duratracs in 18 inch (for my Triton not a D3/4).
Cheers

What’s this part number? Doesn’t come up on any search or parts list???

I’m pretty sure that everyone has already received theirs. There was a mixture of ‘Tuff Rok’ and the LR emblem. I chose the words Land Rover but I haven’t gotten around to fitting it yet

I had really no issues. Did you buy Tuff ROK because I haven’t heard any bad things from theirs.

Need a certain rating or they won’t illuminate.

No I didn't, they are flea bay T10 cheapies, still work fine, only the drivers door one is still original. Might check out the Stedi units soon...
