    Metal Valve Caps

    They didn't lose them. They were in a plastic bag laying in the console. So they truly believe that this is a risk. I will ignore their warning and put them back on. I agree with you guys that this didn't make sense to me.

    Metal Valve Caps

    I had my tires changed at a local "large" tire store in KC. They took off the metal valve caps and replaced them all with plastic caps. I asked them why and they stated that if you leave them on they can get siezed on to the stems and break the air pressure sensors when you break them off...

    LR3 Interior Care

    I use the Zaino leather cleaner and then the conditioner. It really smells GREAT! I have the tan leather and it will start getting a blue hue from all of the denim dye in blue jeans. I just wipe easily with the cleaner and it comes off completely. I assume that if I didn't keep it conditioned it...

    What is the beep?

    The only thing that i can think of is if you have a lot of dirt or dust on your parking sensor. It sees that dirt as something you're going to hit. Just a thought...

    Bushranger X-jack?

    http://bals.be/discovery-3-self-recovery-with-air-jack Read here. If you watch him it looks like he was holding his hand over one exhaust but in reality he was holding a blocking cone in by hand. Doesn't sound like there is anything made specifically for this purpose but he has a workaround...

    Bushranger X-jack?

    You can stick a plug in one exhaust and it will work. YouTube - Discovery 3 / LR3 self recovery with air jack

    WOW, it's not just a button with a picture of a snowflake!!

    Yeah I explained the tire thing to her. "Just wait until we get REAL tires on this thing!" Then i get the "what's wrong with these? they're BRAND NEW!!!" I explained that they are just cheapo street tires that are basically designed as throwaways for those that want to get real tires. Then I get...

    I got my 08 LR3 in August so today was the first day I got to use the "grass/gravel/snow" setting. I must admit that I had doubts that this whole terrain response system as a huge marketing feature that in reality has minor adjustments or effect of what happens while your driving. I guess I...

    Rearview Mirror Angle

    Personally I don't like it one bit so you probably aren't missing anything. Only once in a while, if you are actually backing into a spot next to a curb, it would be nice to have the mirrors dip so you can see how close you are to the curb. But when you are backing out of your garage (every...

    New to LR

    I'm almost identical to Houm WA. I like buying new. I know it has been taken care of and broken in properly. Not the most cost efficient way to do things but a piece of mind has value to me. I got a brand new 08 HSE loaded with every option available (unfortunately except HD) for $44,000...

    Clear Side Markers?

    Why not just pull the clip out of one of your old lenses?

    Clear Side Markers?

    cdodkin- looks great. I also have a white 08 and just ordered the black lenses. Just curious. Did you replace the clear bulb with an amber bulb or did you just keep the clear? If so what does it look like illuminated?

    Some newbie questions.

    My Blackberry has a prompt when you try to connect that allows it to connect automatically in the future. You select the bluetooth device, and there is a box you can check that says something like "don't ask to connect again". Once you check that box it will automatically synch/pair when you get...

    Worried about flipping or rolling over.

    Wow thanks for the quick and thorough response. I wish I was able to attend your new member orientation, but I live in Kansas City. They do have a club, just no events planned. That will do the most to help me for sure. That bottom picture looks to be exactly 45 degrees. Great pics, and great...

    Worried about flipping or rolling over.

    I just got my LR3 a month ago and love it. I have taken it out and started up extremely steep hills and then backed down as it felt like they were too steep and it may flip back. I am guessing I would make it, but would hate to ruin my new truck by flipping backwards. Same goes with side angles...
