Just had my 2007 Disco 3 to the garage and they’ve advised the ‘slow punctures’ I thought were the problem are more likely down to the knackered alloys. Does anyone know what other Landy wheels are compatible (hoping 2004 defender 110 as been offered some lol) or best place to buy some? Cheers in anticipation :)

Defender is 5X165 pcd so no chance of them fitting your hubs

S/H look on eGay and BumTree for wheels.

Loads out there but be sure to check they're not bent buckled and fooked when you get there.

Will refurbed wheels last? Looked on EBay but they look even worse than ours ;)

If done properly yeah. Sure I've read Volkswagen T5 wheels fit disco 3 but don't take that as gospel!

Edit ignore that, ive just googled it looks like you'd need adaptors and all sorts

Last question (for now anyway!) probably being stupid but will a disco 4 wheel set fit a disco 3?

Hi @Amicles

If i may say as a side note , Don’t fit RRS rims or tyres on a D3 as there not suitably rated , tyres for a D3 must have a weight sidewall rating of 111

D3 rims are ,

PCD = 5x120
Offset = 53P
Center Bore: 72.6 mm centre bore
Wheel Fasteners: Lug nuts
Thread Size: M14 x 1.5

Some D4 wheels will fit but must make sure offset is ok , same with FFRR rims, making sure the offset is correct

Suitable tyres

Also I’m pretty sure D1 & D2 won’t fit

Hope that’s helps
