Land Rover car parts for its Range Rover, Discovery (also known as the LR3), Defender and Freelander (LR2) models are available online and at local dealerships.

Land Rover Discovery Weak Spots

The Land Rover Discovery has developed a reputation for poor reliability. In fact, this reputation was partially responsible for the vehicle being rebranded the LR3 in 2005. In addition to getting poor gas mileage, the Discovery had several recalls of its late 1990s and early 2000s models for problems with the anti-lock break system, issues with auxiliary engine functions and fire risk.

Many of the complaints leveled at the Discovery, however, are based on city usage. While commonly found in cities, this vehicle was really designed for off-roading, and that is where it excels. Unlike many sports utility vehicles manufactured today, the Discovery was built for scaling mountains and plowing through muddy valleys.

Land Rover Car Parts

Despite its reputation, the Discovery remains a popular vehicle and as such, finding replacement parts should not be difficult. New and rebuilt A/C compressors, for example, should be easily acquirable by a dealer or mechanic. Car owners should also be able to purchase retail replacement car parts online.

When shopping for Defender components, it is important to remember that the Defender marketed in the United States is not the same as the model marketed in Britain and the rest of the world under that name. The United States Defender is a consumer vehicle. The UK Defender is meant for service and military use.

A-Air is an online retail store that sells new and rebuilt A/C components for Discovery, Defender, Freelander and Range Rover models.
