Engine will not turn over
Sure it's in Park or Neutral? Seems to me I had to step on the brake pedal and move the shift lever through the range of Park to Drive and Back, to get it to fire or something like that on a similar problem. Too many cars, too many features. It could be that the linkage system display on the... -
LR3 trailer plug lights flicker
I had the same problem. Lights worked fine on my old boat trailer, but a new utility trailer flashed continuously but dimly. The lights all worked as expected and brighter then the continuous flash. I treat it as a new improved safety feature! -
Leaving the hood / bonnet open overnight for rats.
Got to ask, why do you need hood open over night? Rat most likely coming in from underside, right? I've heard that fox ***** repellent works for rodents. But I have not had the problem under hood. Maybe you can identify and pull the fuse for hood alarm? (If there is one). -
Gos into low gear by itself when starting to drive.
When I did the transmission fluid changeover, I somehow partially unseated a sensor that sits behind the linkage lever, not sure what the sensors function was or what it is called, but it somehow works the dash transmission position light PRND, and gear numbers. This caused many strange symptoms... -
weird sound on engine
Mine did same thing - 2006 LR3. Irritating whining/whirling noise, showed up out of blue, did not go away. At first I thought it was AC or Power Steering pump pulley bearing on Serpentine belt or belt itself. I watched some youtubes for idea's and bought a mechanics stethoscope. I was into it by... -
Transmission Fault and more
I was driving in heavy rain recently and started getting repeating brake light errors accompanied with beep, and also Check Brake Pad display messages. I got home but did check and replace the front brakes and when removing the wear sensor on drive side, it broke. It might have already been... -
sensor from hell
Took the tire off again and saw that the wheel well could be removed. Needed to remove it. About 7-8 screws and 10 of the plastic prong connectors, then take off the fender flare to wrestle it off. Sure enough, there was the top plugin for the sensor. Checked Warning light was off, and it was. I... -
sensor from hell
After fixing my whining noise up front (serpentine belt rotation) by figuring out the source was the primary belt tensioner pulley bearings, and replacing the pulley, a new emergency surfaced. The LR3 had sat around in the weather for a month, waiting for delivery of wrenches, stethoscopes... -
Transmission Fault and more
So it did a system test and redisplayed the same codes and messages? Replacing a the iffy battery fixed a raft of erroneous error on my 2006 LR3. Maybe you have corrosion on the connectors or loose connections? Did you wire brush posts and connectors? A little corrosion can make a good battery... -
Primary belt tensioner
Problem is fixed after putting a new pulley on the primary tensioner. No more high pitched whine drowning out the purr of the big V8! -
Primary belt tensioner
I used a pry bar and it came loose. Pulley turns slow and is not free spinning. Tensioner spring seems to work fine. Removed and checked other tensioner on shorter secondary waterpump/fan belt, it spins freely . Both the belts seem without noticeable wear or deterioration. Removed rubber seals... -
Primary belt tensioner
Have a constant whining noise when Landrover LR3 is running, gets louder with acceleration. I did a noise test on the primary belt tensioner and it seems to be the cause. I finally removed the fan after numerous failed attempts. Used breaker bar with Atlantic British 36mm wrench and the water... -
Transmission Fault
Thanks for tip. Not meaning to hijack thread, but noise seems to be up front on drivers side. Can belt be manually tightened, or has it just worn and stretched? -
Why is aux chord is soo quiet...
I've got a Samsung phone that I use in Aux for music, same issue. Loudest out of Left Front. But I also tried phone into a little mini speaker and also noticed no stereo. It seemed like the cable was at fault, if I bluetoothed to speaker things were fine. I think the China cables and UK... -
Transmission Fault
I was getting faults on an 06 LR3 HSE, but somewhat opposite where it would slip into neutral at rolling stops. However did loose Sport and Manual modes at times. Transmission faults sometimes. I decided to do the Transmission filter update kit, thought it made a difference, but it came back...
