Metalic Thunk after driving a short way
Thanks for the response. Interesting about the dampeners under the rear bumper. Didn't remember about them but if it had of been them the thunk would be more of a plastic sound as they bang against plastic. The sound is more like a wound up spring driving something to give a solid bang. Hasn't... -

Metalic Thunk after driving a short way
I have occasionally a metallic thunk like a rock hitting the LR3 underside after driving a short distance. Maybe something in the suspension is binding while parked and then releases when road vibration rattles it loose?? Anyone else had this problem? Happens mainly when I make a turn maybe a... -

Time limit on service??
LR3 has 4 year 50,000 mile guarantee. I am not putting much mileage on mine. Have a 2005 with only 14,500 miles. 1. If I go longer than a year before the next service should I at least change my oil? Have been told new synthetics don't acid up like the old oils. 2. If a year goes by and I... -

V6 storage space
I have been extremely happy with my V6 SE and the storage spaces provided by not having a rear seat. The engine compartment even has storage space under the cover in the box containing the brake fluid reservoir where I have been able to store a hand axe and colapsing shovel. Everything I had... -

Great Milage! 19.8 mpg avg on highway
Does anyone know the formula the trip computer uses? I think it has many elements as it shows lousy mileage right after you reset to zero than drive off so I think there are more than one average. Also there is a delay when coasting down hill before MPG really adjusts. I would be surpirsed if... -

Mileage Window Announcements?
When I start the LR3 the mileage window states -625 miles oil service. The dealer supposedly did my 7,500 mile service last month. Was there something he should have done to the computer to acknowledge this? Does the -625 miles mean the computer assumes I have gone past my service schedule... -

LR3 V6 or V8 ??
I have the bottom of the line V6 with no options other than the premium interior or whatever. It is the least expensive version and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Lots of spare space for storage without all the options. Emergency equipment including air compressor all stowed in the rear... -

The 4.0L V6
Have the stripped down version of the V6. Runs great, climbs hills fine. Got 18 mpg on a trip covering CA, OR and WA. Get 14.6 mpg putting around Big Bear Lake, CA. The stripped down version gives lots of storage space in the back side wells and by the brake area in the engine compartment... -
