Thread: G4 Disco 3 Specs

Hi Guys,
I'm brand new to this forum but have been looking for a good source of info and feedback. I have rang around a few places looking for a genuine snorkel for my D3 V8 and have been quoted around the $800 range. I noticed the price listed below are a bit cheaper. Do you guys have a secret source of goodies ??

However, they all have:

- Tangiers orange paint
- 255/55/19 Wrangler MTRs on 19x8 rims
- the A-frame (nudge bar) and winch mount
- LR roofrack
- Rear ladder
- some form of cargo barrier

Some are SEs up-specced, some are HSEs.

Here's parts & prices in Australia:

DISCOVERY 3 (G4 ACCESSORIES) RRP:
- Expedition Roof rack (CAB500021PMA) - $1693.54
- Goodyear MTR Tyres (HYM1368) - $434.50 each
- Front sump guard (KRQ500010) - $1185.65
- Rear Ladder (AGP78020) - $481.48
- Raised air intake (ADL780010) - $654.50
- Cargo barrier (RAA559) - $522.50
- Front lamp guards (VUB501200) - $426.77 Kit
- Rear lamp guard (VUB501380) - $451.00 Kit
- Winch (VUB501471) - $4345.00
- Tow bar (RAA550) - $195.80
- A Frame (LR005743) - $1190.41

There are only two G4 D3s in Australia and both have been sold to private owners in Victoria. You cannot order the car with Tangiers Orange but all the other kit is available as above.

No secret source. Prices go up. Why on earth would you put a LR RAI on your car when you could have a Safari Snorkel?

'cause it looks better, it's quieter and it doesn't affect the fuel consumption as much.

Oh, and it looks better

Cheers,

I also like the original raised air intakes better than ARB's snorkel.
Has anyone improved Landrovers design so as to turn it into a snorkel rather than a Raised Air Intake.

Regards

Chuck

Improved the LR design ? That would be a Safari snorkel then !

RMP - How current is the price for the Expedition rack. I have been quoted $2800. !! trade inc the roof rails. A mite steep for my taste. If anyone has a source I am interested. I would like to see one in the flesh before committing though.

Yes, fuel consumption goes to nil when the engine ingests water ;-)

That would be why it's quieter as well.

I wouldn't buy the rack. Get something like a Rackmaster instead or another quality alloy. The rails are too few and far apart on the Expedition. Like most LR accessories it looks the goods but isn't all that practical.
