Well its been awhile. I gave up on the LR3 and garage doors. We moved to new house and I decided to try it again. Its WORKS!
With newer openers its a 2 step process. For what ever reason I either skipped that step or did not hold buttons long enough. I just quit and used the remote that...
I fixed it.
Called a LR dealship and got some instructions. Was EZ.
The rear wiper was below the glass and I could move it freely with my hand.
If I put it where it should be it gravity would just drop it down 30 degrees or so.
The fix was to remove that black cap and then put a...
I had the wiper droop from a carwash.

After going through a car wash I noticed my rear wiper was pointed down, it was on the painted part of the rear gate.
When I grab it I can rotate it freely, I could feel no centering lock to put it where it should be.
I put it where it should be but after I use it, it seems to creep to...
Over the past few days the alarm has been going off when I opened my door. At first I thought I forgot to lock the door.
But I had been locking the doors, just the drivers side door does not lock. The LR3 thinks its locked as the alarm sounds when I open it.
When I push the key or...
Funny that is one of the reasons I did not get a LR4, I don't like that they integrated the wheel flare into the body.
The LR3s plastic wheel flare may fade some but if you hit something or someone hits you (Door Denters) Its body work.
The plastic wheel flare on the LR3 is tougher...
What do I want?
Studs are illegal in my area so will have to be studless.
With a 6000lb vehicle stopping power on ice is preferred. Right now I have Perreli Zeros 19" and they do fine in terms of getting through snow but have had a few instances where I slide past an intersection due to icy...
That does not mean much. I went driving with a couple of RR in my LR3 with Perreli zeros. They both got stuck where I got through. Had nothing to do with the vehicles. Sometimes the driver does make a difference. I am much more aggressive than they are, I use momentum to my advantage...
What about The Michelin X-Ice Xi3? It sounds even better on wet roads.
The more expensive Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 (Est. $160) winter tire runs neck-and-neck with the Michelin in Scandinavian reviews and one top U.S. test on ice and snow. The Nokian doesn't grip as well on wet and dry roads...
Thanks for information. Yes I can get them in either 18" or 19" in the proper size.
Care to elaborate on the performance of Nokian Hakkapeliita R2?
How long do they last? I won't be driving on pure snow all the time. And might be towing snowmobiles or possibly my boat in the spring...
My choices were Blizzak, Perreli ICE/Snow, and one other I can't remember.
From the reviews I read only the people with blizzaks raved about them on ice and snow. Saying they could not even do power slides with them. Like they were glue on ice. Perrelis come in correct size but did not...
No its cool, I must be pretty dull. I just go with what works, don't really love any of the companies.
Michelins use to be great in terms of strong sidewalls. But that was 20 years ago, I am a bit out of touch on them now.
Do you know much about SL vs XL tires? Trying to get...
I want to get new rims for winter and a set of blizzaks. Sound like the best snows for the landrovers.
One issue is I can't find XL rated BLizzaks for 19" or 18" rims. The tires that are 30" or taller are SL rated. 44psi max vs 50 psi max. It does not list how many plys there are so not...
You have some brains. I would do the same if I lived there.
In michigan I'm thinking of just getting 4 new rims and swapping to those snows you have in december-april then go back to the Scorpian zeros for summer time.
