4WD service
True Houm. The Heavy Duty (HD) package was available on the SE also. Poor assumption that anyone shilling out for an HSE would also drop the additional $$$$ for the HD option. Same is true of the full size spare that comes with the HD option. Sure owners have replaced the donut with a full size... -

4WD service
Do you mean front/rear differentials and transfer case fluid service? 75K (miles) service. Plenty threads on this forum on it and at least one major LR parts vendor on the internet. Odds are your rear diff employs an electronic lock (HSE). Make sure which because it dictates which fluid is... -

BT Hack for Pre-2013 LR4's
We use the SoundBot SB360 in our LR3 without any issues. The SB360 handsfree phone mic is superior to the LR3 Bluetooth mic. Now we use it only for the music streaming because the around the neck headsets are so good. -

Anyone know a good place to find damaged LR3 taillight housings?
LOL. Yes, I had a very gruff response from them my first time. They are strictly used parts pulled from crashed/retired Land Rovers. -

New to Land Rover's....Maintenance Issues on 06' LR3?!
@Proslam You're absolutely right about upgrading to the AMK without updating the ECU. My (former) dealer swapped it out without first updating the ECU and it created a huge mess. The ECU would not update subsequent to the AMK hardware install. I took over 3 weeks and a visit from LR... -

Just passed 180K and performing many of the "90K" service items myself; oil & filter, air filter, interior filter, plugs, front & rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, brake fluid replacement, coolant flush and injector service (fuel line). Any high mileage LR3s replace their transmission... -

New to Land Rover's....Maintenance Issues on 06' LR3?!
Welcome to the club! My 06 LR3 HSE just passed 180K miles! Biggest headache was the suspension compressors. It took LR a few years to get it right. Hopefully the previous owner took care of this because it was over 4 yrs ago that the improved model was available. Give me a minute and I'll check... -

AC leaks are usually very easy to find unless something has changed. Used to inject dye into the AC system, run the vehicle for a while, and then shine a black light in the engine compartment to see dye stain(s). -

Update: It is an AMK compressor. Installing it was a special hell for me and the dealer. "Kid" removed the old compressor before updating the software. Software would not update correctly with the new compressor in place. They had to bring in an engineer to figure out the fix, 3 weeks. Oh, I... -

Do not know which compressor it is. Just that it has not been a problem at all since the "improved" model was installed. Before then, it was a common problem. -

2006 LR3 - 165,500 this week. Compressor a couple of times until the latest version. Have not had to replace one since 90K. Front lower bushings, front hubs, front rotors, front passenger parking assist sensor, and the alternator have been replaced in addition to the usual consumables. At...
