Land Rover Discovery - The Authentic Deal 4×4 Living Legend

July 25th, 2010 by admin

The Land Rover Discovery is a living legend. Project Jay, as it was first called back in the day, the car if is the mostly awarded 4×4 in history. It is the only vehicle that has received 97 international awards for just one production 4×4. After reading this article there will be no question why this cool 4 wheel drive is so popular around the globe. It suits anyone, and everyone.The different Discovery models range from the latest Discover 4 or LR4 right back to the 1994 models, so there is plenty to talk about. This article will focus on the Discovery 3 and 4, which is most likely to be the vehicle that you are looking into buying.To start with the Land rover Discovery 3 model was built between buy four wheel drive parts, with a 5 door SUV style. Engine options were the two liter Ford AJD-V6, PSA DT17, TDV6, the four liter Ford Cologne V6 and the “big one”, the 4.4 liter Jaguar AJ-V8- a car that really took off road adventure to the extreme.The transmission of the car was 6 speeds, with both buy 4×4 suspension options. The wheelbase is 113.6 inches with a curb weight of 2,461 kilograms.The Land Rover Discovery 3 was introduced as a new design, sharing very little with its predecessor the Series II. Although it kept the key design features of the Discovery, the stepped roofline and steeply raked windscreen.In the United States the Discovery was marketed as LR3 because of negative quality associations with the Discovery brand just like the Discovery Series II which was rebranded as the LR2.One of the most exciting features of the Discovery LR3 was the all new Integrated Body Frame, or IBF. This was a great development as the previous series were based on a traditional, strong ladder frame chassis. The old frame was great for an off road experience but were heavy and hard to drive on the road. The alternative to the strong ladder frame system is the Monocoque system which is more rigid providing a better road, high speed driving experience.The IBF claims to combine these systems by providing a Monocoque system for the engine bay and passenger compartment while the gearbox and suspension lies on a ladder chassis. How well this worked depends on who you speak to, but one thing sure, it definitely is a heavy car. The extra weight of the Land Rover Discovery probably was the reason it was the first Land Rover to be produced with a rear locking differential.The other big feature in the land rover discovery 3 was the full independent suspension or FIS. This was an air suspension system which allowed the ride height of the vehicle to be modified by simply pumping or deflating the system. This provided a more versatile vehicle that could be raised when off road and lowered for a more comfortable, and safe, handling. However, many car owners felt that this feature caused the vehicle to bottom out when taking the car off road. An attempt to solve this issue was made by installing a cross linked air suspension system that mimics a beam axle.These features were included to adapt the new model to a changing 4×4 market. Off road performance was no longer a priority as more and more users were using 4×4s nearly exclusively on the road and demanded a smooth and comfortable ride. This is precisely where the LR3 stands out, providing refined on road manners while still being a “REAL 4X4″ with hardcore off road performance.

Learning How to Be Frugral

July 24th, 2010 by admin

If you were to ask the head of a household who is struggling to make ends meet where their money goes, then most families would quickly respond for only the bare necessities such as food, clothes, things for the kids, let alone how to buy a car with bad credit.  Hardly is their money ever wasted, because these are individuals who do not have the money to waste. 

Yet, if asked to produce their family budget, many of them can not come up with a single scrap of paper indicating just where the money is going.  Is it a fun task?  Not really! Can it bring big rewards to your family finances? 

Absolutely!

Save Money with V8 Coupons

July 24th, 2010 by admin

When it comes to car repairs, anything for a v8 tends to be expensive.  Before you go into debt to pay for your repairs though, you should get some v8 Coupons.  Sure it may sound like something you are more likely to do for the grocery store, but more and more retailers are offering coupons to those who look for them.  Why should you be one of the suckers who pays full price?  With coupons you’ll still be able to get the same service at the same place, but you’ll get it for a lower price.  What’s not to love about that?

I Found My Dog Hiding Behing Some Used Wheels, Silly Dog

July 19th, 2010 by admin

I  was driving around last night while I was looking for my dog. He had gotten past me when I opened the door and ran into the street. I was scared to death that he would get hit by a car, or someone would pick him up and take him to the shelter. Luckily I found him down the road at the store that sells Used Wheels. He was behind a stack of tires in the front of their shop. He ran right over to the car and jumped right in the seat. He seemed really glad to see me, even if he knew he was in trouble.

Used Citroen Drive

July 15th, 2010 by admin

My daughter just called me from college. We bought a Used Citroen nine years ago and, when she went off to school, my husband and I gave it to her to drive. Now something in the engine is making a noise and she’s scared to drive it. Normally I would say she needs to take it and have it fixed, but this time she did the right thing. My husband will want to go down there and find a good mechanic that he likes. He’s funny about stuff like that. That’s okay. I get to go see my daughter which I always like to do.

Used SEAT & Shakira

July 12th, 2010 by admin

How does a brand decide on who will be representing them? They all want a celebrity, but how do they choose between a sporting personality, an actor, or a musician? Maybe they want the brand to see youthful and funky, or maybe they are more concerned with being seen as intelligent and reliable? As you can see from the life size posters of Shakira over all used SEAT dealerships it would seem that they have decided they need a sexy woman to attract a male audience segment, and that music (completely with wiggling hips and skimpy clothes) suits them best.

3 Reasons to Consider a Full Size Car

July 2nd, 2010 by admin

Why do you need to buy Full Size Cars as oppose to compact or mid size vehicles? Well, you don’t have to do anything, but here are some reason you may want to consider one: 1) They have more room. Small cars just can’t carry as many passengers or haul as much stuff. 2) The gas mileage is not that bad. Nowadays, these full size cars can get up 30 MPG. That is a far cry from the old days of under 20 MPG. 3)Cost. SUVs and minivans are expensive, so if that was the route you wanted to go, you are usually going to pay about 15%-20% more that you would for a sedan.

What Ever Makes Them Happy

June 24th, 2010 by admin

My mom and dad own their own company and they really love it. It’s about rv septic tank system and they couldn’t get enough of it. They told me one day that it keeps their marriage strong and lasting. I couldn’t see how that could be, but if it works for them I am happy too. Plus they get to be home a lot and we get to travel more as well. It’s better now then when they had their jobs, that was a nightmare. My brother loves helping them when they have a customer they have to get to. I on the other hand, would rather travel then deal with that.
