Ebony interior
Houm_WA, yes the seats. It's probably more likely in an area with a lot of sun/heat, but I've seen some horrible seats on CPO's at the local dealership, where the previous owner hadn't taken care of the leather at all. A bit of standard maintenance goes a long way. I'll check out Vinylex, I've... -
Ebony interior
my 06 has the ebony interior, and honestly it's held up great. You do have to take care of them, or they will start to show cracks etc. I have 103k miles on this truck currently, and the seats look great. -
HDC Fault, Engine Fault, Special Programs Not Available, EPB Fault, and more HELP!
To echo the sentiments here, the battery is usually a big culprit of the dreaded dash of errors. While it's something we generally check first, it's not always the issue. The HDC system relies on the ABS sytem, and the initial checks on startup really pull on the battery, so I've seen HDC... -
LR4 reliability - let's get better info
I've registered for the site, but I don't take the results as "gospel" due to the ease with which they can be manipulated. It's rather easy to register a vehicle I don't own, and spew data about said vehicle. While I understand that people may be honest, and actually portray their data in a... -
My New (OLD) LR3
I doubt this, although it may be an issue in some cases. My 06 with 67k has only been dealer serviced, and the only major component issues were the sunroof rails and an issue with the MAF sensor (multiple times so far.) I haven't had any issues with hatches, etc up to this point. -
Bluetooth problem
I don't really have any issues with the Bluetooth in my 06 with an iPhone 3G. You will get some nasty echo if you have the phone volume up too loud though. -
Removing LR3 badges
I replaced the LR3 with a Discovery 3 badge I got from a friend in England. Looks much better :-) -
Trailer Hitch Lock Help
Ironically, I didn't have the keys for my hitch lock either, so I actually tried the key from a new hitch lock and it worked. The dealer said it shouldn't work, but in my case, for some reason, the new key fit just fine. Perhaps find someone who has a key and see if it works for you? -
Dashboard replacement claim at stealership
if the leather is splitting, or cracking on the dash, and you're under factory warranty not CPO, it shouldn't be an issue to replace it. IF you're under CPO, it's a whole different story. -

Twice offroad once in the shop
I've never had a dealer give me grief for a dirty truck. That's what LR's are made for, and the dealer shouldn't give you any issues with mud, or such on the truck, or underneath it. You should however, clean your rig ;-) -
Colorado LR3 (or other Rover) Owners
I live in the Highlands Ranch area.. Silver 06 SE Discovery 3 ;-) -
Nothin but problems
Yup sounds like you have a shady dealer. I have an 06 V8 52k miles on it, pretty much problem free, minus a few little issues here and there. I bought mine CPO'd as well. -
2009 LR3 HSE does not include 14 speaker logic 7 stereo
Every 09 LR3 in the US is an HSE vehicle, but if you want added features, you have to toss on the LUX package now. Definitely changes things up a bit, and can be confusing. I didn't see a better stereo as a LUX feature when I looked though. -
It is a damm shame !!!!
Regardless of the VIN range, they should apply the correction regardless, if you're experiencing the exact same issue. LR warranty should cover it regardless. You can always open up a case with LRNA regarding the issue, and they will contact the dealer directly for you to help get the issue...
