Drink Spill on the Electronic Parking Brake
We had an accidental soft drink spill on the EPB and now when you press it there is an awful squealing noise. Has anyone had a similar experience? Could it be as easy as buying a used EPB and unplugging the old one and plugging another in? Somehow I cannot imagine it will be that easy, so I... -

What type of coolant, oil and filter do you use?
OK, if you use the factory filter then what type of wrench do you use? With the hoses near the bottom, I find that the strap wrenches have a hard time getting to it. I can not find a 16 flute cap wrench. On my first oil change my hands worked fine, but I am sure that at some point I will need to... -

What type of coolant, oil and filter do you use?
I have seen different opinions here so I thought that I would see if there is a consensus. What type of oil and oil filter do you use? I have been buying the LR filter from the dealer and using Castrol 5W30 as it says on the oil cap. What type of coolant should I use? Is the pre-mixed... -

Radio no volume and nav screen died!
I have had the same thing happen twice. Try pulling and replacing the fuses that relate to media and audio. On my 2006 LR3 the culprit was fuse 53. The fuse was not blown and if it happens again I will try replacing that fuse before doing further trouble shooting. Good luck! -

Oil Filter Wrench???
I have searched the forum and can not find this answer. Where can I get an oil filter wrench to fit the Land Rover filter? I only use the LR filter and it has 16 flutes. I have checked with the major chains (NAPA, Advance Auto, Sears, etc..) and can only find 14 and 15 flute filter wrenchs. Any... -

TPMS Reset??
I figured it out. This is my daughter's car and she checked the pressure and they were all the same....which she thought was OK. When I checked, I realized what happened and adjusted the pressure.....the light has not come on since. I know that a difference in tread depth can damage the... -

TPMS Reset??
No, the pressure is the same on all four tires and my experience is that the pressure needs to be significantly underinflated for the light to come on. I will check again tonight and see if they are all inflated to the recommended level. -

TPMS Reset??
I have a 2006 LR3 and it has TPMS, but it only tells me when the tire pressure is low. I just had all four tires replaced at a local tire shop. During the process one of the TPMS sensors broke. The tire shop bought a new one from LR and put it on. Everything worked fine for a bit, but now the... -

Door Panel Removal
Several days ago my driver side door handle stopped working from the inside. I knew that the cable had come off, but when I removed the door handle from the inside, I realized that I would need to remove the whole door panel and did not have time to get into that project. I took the car to the... -

Slow tire leak
I agree. Thanks for the input! I believe that I have decided on the Kumhos, since we do not go off-road. That is what is currently on the car and they have worn well and evenly and they make for a good ride. The price point is good and they have a 60k mile warranty.- Ratcliff

Need Help! DVD and Bluetooth
Does the sound work with the radio? My LR3 had all sound stop mysteriously a couple of weeks ago. I pulled out the manual and removed, checked and replaced all fuses that seemed to relate to anything audio. I cut the car back on and it has worked ever sense. Since there were 6 or 7 fuses I was... -

Slow tire leak
Interestingly enough, I found the problem....another nail. This one in the side wall With the four wheel drive apparently LR does not recommend mixing old and new tires (if the tread depth difference is greater than 2/32) so it means 4 new tires.- Ratcliff

Slow tire leak
Only one tire is loosing a lot (ie: over a pound a day) and two others are loosing less than that (1/2 pound a day or less) and the fourth tire is not loosing any air. The inconsistency is what makes me think it is something else. Any thoughts??- Ratcliff

Slow tire leak
I have a '06 LR3 that we just purchased. We love it. What a great ride. I have a slow leak in several tires. The leak is worse in the front right tire. I recently had the tires rotated and balanced and at the same time they checked all tires. They found one small nail, but no leaks. Is it...- Ratcliff
