    LR3 Value in your area?

    I was thinking of trading in my LR3 and was at least expecting Kellly Blue Book prices but I found that my LR3 is not worth as much in the south since demand is low. I was offered 18K as a trade. The LR3 I have is a 2005 HSE with 66,300 miles and all available options, including navi, cold...

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    Yeah, I guess I appologize. I was already ticked, so the comment about the lack of knowledge from a former Service Manager pushed me over the edge.

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    Are you really a smart ass or do you lack the ability to communicate properly. Almost every post you comment on has smart ass undertones. I think it's funny you have the Service Manager tag placed on your Avatar and that's my main complaint on this post. Most Service Managers and tech's are...

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    I had an agreement with the Service Manager that they would purge all of the R134a and do a complete replacement. This is not usually done on a /c service but I wanted it done to purge out the $30 stuff with additives that you get from the local parts store. That's what made me all the more...

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    I took my LR3 into the dealership yesrterday for an A/C cleaning and a recharge. The price was quoted at $180 so I thought why not. They night before I took the LR3 in I took a R134A reading and wrote down the pressure on the high and low ends. Next day after the A/C service I brought the LR3...

    100 Degrees in NYC and my AC is semi cold??

    Most of the refill bottles for the coolant come with a gauge. Some of the cheaper ones do not have it but you should spend the few extra dollars and get one with the gauge. Here is a link to what I purchased at the local parts store. If you want me to text message or email you a photo of the...

    100 Degrees in NYC and my AC is semi cold??

    Just did mine two weeks ago. Really easy to do. Just pick up a bottle of the 134A at the parts store. Stay away from the 'stop leak' kind. I went with the one that had the 'NASA' coolant that allows it to run cooler than normal. I got it at O'reily Auto Parts for around $30. The connector hose...

    Front end suspension deflates/inflates

    Sounds like leveling to me, I have zero leakage but mine does this same thing sometime. Also the driveway thump sounds like the control arm bushings getting old and stiff.

    Air Conditioner Delay when vehicle started- Defrost Program Button Flashes

    Just an update. After 8 hours in the LR service department on Friday they attempted to give me several reasons. In the end, they said the climate control unit performs a system check when you crank the LR3 and if it finds a fault code the system will attempt to recalibrate. During the...

    Transfer Case & Differential Fluid Specification

    I used Royal Purple 75w 90 Gear Oil one week ago today for my front diff and also my rear electonic locking diff. So far so good. I've got to the dealship tomorrow for a air con service and I plan on asking the tech about the gear oil to get his opinion on it. I'll post what he says.

    Air Conditioner Delay when vehicle started- Defrost Program Button Flashes

    I have a question that I haven't found in any previous forums. Sometimes when I start the LR3 the Program Button on the air con that has the Defrost image (top button on far right) flashes for a few seconds before the air con comes on. This is typically when I have left the air con on when I...
