LR3 Driving Lights Died
Yesterday evening I turned on the driving / fog lights. They came on for a moment and then both went out. Now they do not work at all. I've turned them on and off numerous time with no luck whatsoever. Thoughts on where I start the troubleshooting? I suppose the fuse as it would be very... -

Windshield issues
I have this feature on my LR3. Love it, used to it and dont even notice anymore. I have noticed that when someone brings it up or I think about it, the lines become much more obvious for a while..... -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Well I ended up going to the dealer. The Langley guy was great but he was only $200 cheaper. Dealer diagnosed the ball joint as well. Yes only a $49 part but the labour is high AND there is a chance other parts of the control arm bushings could fail so I opted for an entire assembly. $800 for... -

Lml Hey Zulu, yes from the LML....drive the sea to sky a ton and like taking the LR3. You in the area? I am off warranty and just found a Rover mechanic in Langley that the truck is going into. I hope it is a $40 part and less than $800. That would be a pleasant surprise. -

Mystery solved So it ends up not being my driving, nor the car's antilock antiroll etc....guess what it was....a lovely failed part (another). Lower passenger ball joint is gone...now clunks over curbs and makes the ABS come on on any tight outside corner. Oh the joys of being off warranty. Im... -

Sporadic air bag warning light
I have the same thing. Airbag light comes on and stays on until vehicle is turned off. Then sometimes it goes off...or not. Driving me nuts! Had it into the dealer 3 times and they replaced the seat belt tensioner sensor. Made no difference. Just off warranty so I am taking it back and... -

Ok.....point taken that it is most likely stability control Kicking in. Just very strange that it only is on one side of the vehicle. It definitely caused me to feel a loss of control which is kinda the opposite of what DSC should do. I'll have the sensors checked. -

Thanks for the replies. No DSC light came on and it only happened on the one side...turning the other way was fine at the same speed. The brakes are brand new...new rotors on the front but I didnt replace the back...looked ok and brake place said it would be ok but the pads would take time to... -

Well I thought the same and I did check the pressures. All seemed well and the TPMS was not alerting either. I did have one tire patched due to a nail a few weeks back....I wonder if a sidewall can get weakened...I thought tire problems are pretty black and white, either good or complete... -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Took the family on a roadtrip to Whistler. Rig was driving fine for most of the way. The road is very windy and at speed...approx 60MPH, when I turned right....felt like the abs or traction control kicked in on one wheel or maybe both on that side AND the truck felt sloppy and "dove" a bit into... -

Sidewall Punture Advice - Really...a new tire?

I also found out my full size spare didnt have TPS...sigh now I got one tire on teh rig with no... -

Removing a stuck hitch receiver?
One more gripe on the hitch....the stupid little fold down keys are RIDICULOUS. Broke one today! Not sure if the key cutter can do a new one but I am going to find out. -

Sidewall Punture Advice - Really...a new tire?
So I got a small screw in the side of my LR3's relatively new Avon 18" rear tire. I plugged it and had a shop patch the inside but they advised my it could "blow any time" as the sidewall area goes through a lot of flex. The hole was pretty small and the patch was pretty big from what I saw but...
