    LR3 suspension problems, how bad is it? replace it??

    You could also save some $ and go with the 4Dcan tool sold by R. Storey Wilson. He also has some good YouTube videos on LR3 troubleshooting and maintenance. 4Dcan software is $150; with the WiFi dongle it's $175. You might be able to get the ELM327 cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. Might have an air...

    Rear License Plate Holder - Rusted Nuts

    Hey. Anybody figure out a way to replace the funky nuts on the rear license plate holder? I had to drill out the old screws to get the old owners plate off. The ferrule nuts are frozen on the metal screws with rust (Mag Chloride heavily used in Denver). Anybody else run into this and...

    Hi all. Just got my 2006 LR3 HSE last Friday with 74,000 miles on it. Looking to get it updated with all maintenance and provide my wife with an awesome Urban Assault Vehicle. At 5800 lbs, I think this will fit the bill. Plus, my wife has to have heated seats, so we are all happy. Hotrod is...
