    Do you regret keeping it past warranty?

    Looking at the extended warranty question from a different angle: have you read of anyone that purchased the ESP and thought they did not get their money’s worth in claims

    LR3 headlights burning out quickly

    I am replacing my headlights every 3months, is that a common issue? LR3 has running daylights so the headlights are ON whenever the car is in drive. I am using GE Nighthawk Platinum - which are quite expensive for halogens, but so far have been replaced twice since Feb'10 under their warranty...

    Transmission & Special Programs Messages

    I had a similar transmission errors issue when I first got my truck. The dealer replaced a rusted connector under the driver side (under warranty). I will try to attach a picture of the part.

    Where do you put your sunglasses?

    2005 LR# Changing front passenger headlight advice

    I just finished replacing both front headlight bulbs on the LR3 after reading the instructions on this forum. I had to use the WD-40 and the looped cord trick (thank you Thorgal & Trynian) especially for the side tabs where there is no space for my fingers. I did not mess around with the clip...

    Service Reminder

    Thanks for the responses, i was wondering about the Left reset key for a minute until I paid more attention to the Euro model applicability. I have a basic OBD-II tool: it reads/resent MIL codes, would that work? Or do I need a seperate IDS?

    I had a bad ride experience once when the battery was dying and the car was stuck lowered to Access Height while driving... that was not fun. Are you having air suspension problems?

    Service Reminder

    Hi, I am getting a service reminder on the dash while I am turning-on the engine. It seems to be counting down the days to the next "recommended" service visit. Does anyone know how to reset it? How do I know what service needs to be done, I only have 77k KM. Thanks for your help

    Great Forum
