While browsing around the Land Rovers Only Forum I stumbled on to a post by ChuckD regarding
Where to get a DISCOVERY badge and scrap the LR3 badge
I navigated to the blog linked there and found a nice site by Nathan Woods. He owns AND USES a LR3 off road. He had lots of tips about repairs in addition to great pictures of his adventures.

Heater core replacement
This weekend I am tackling the horrible and dread project of fixing the heater core. As you may remember it popped when I was heading into work back in April when the cooling system was failing with the head gasket problem.
I hear it is a 4 hour off and 4 hour back on job to pull the dash out. JagGuy is hoping for lots of pictures so he can pull his to fix the expansion valve on his A/C. He will probably want some help when he does his for sure. I owe him big time I hope he asks for it.
While I’m in there I’m going to check all the electric connections. The problem with the discharge could still be there with a problem associated to the fuse box. Strange thing happened when I was testing problems when I plugged the dome light fuse back in. I got a nice spark and the light started working where it wasn’t just minutes before.
As the story goes the cab was filled with nasty antifreeze steam and the under dash was definately wet. So I will be cleaning that up while I’m in there.
Thanks to all the guys that gave me tips about their project. Especially you guys from the LRO Forum.
I’ll have a write up on it as soon as it is done. Look for it on the Tech Tips page.
