    Rodents...again

    About two weeks ago, my LR wouldn't start up. All the warning signs popped up. It looked a lot like what happened to my rig last winter when rodents chewed through a wire harness.. I was able to start the car, limp it on one gear (reduced performance..did not go over 50km/hr, good thing it was...

    Rear parking sensors

    2005 HSE Ive searched the forums but couldn't find anything similar. Sometimes, when I throw the LR into reverse, the beeping starts on the rear sensor.. its a continuous beep, even when there is nothing behind me. The funny thing is when I first start the car, then reverse, no problems...

    Warranty free..

    Well, my extended warranty expired for my 2005 HSE.. I brought it in to the stealership for them to exploit whatever was left on my warranty. They kept it for 4 days...the shop manager even took it home (with my consent of course) and noticed a few issues and fixed them for me: - drive shaft...

    Dash turn signal

    Tried looking for it on the forum but failed. My dash left turn indicator is clicking double speed...yet my right indicator is at normal speed. Despite the possessed clicking of the left indicator, the exterior flashers are blinking at normal pace. Also, when I turn on the hazards, the both...

    Strange thumping

    You know when you are driving the down the road and you drive over the road reflectors that correspond to the road lines..whether they are white or yellow reflectors? When you drive over them, there's the "thud thud thud" sound and depending on how fast you drive, will effect the "thud-iness"...

    burning EPB?

    2 days ago, after filling my 2005 LR at the gas station, I put the car into drive but forgot to release the EPB. I had not yet pressed onto the gas peddle so that car just stopped. I released the EPB and drove on. After about 4 mins on the highway, about 100km/hr, I noticed the LR was...

    CD player not working

    About a week ago, I left my 05 HSE in Seattle for 10 days as I flew off to Maui. When I came back, the battery was dead. I had AAA come down and they confirmed that the batt was good but somehow, it got drained. Ran the engine for a bit and everything seems to be fine. Today, I tried to...

    "POP" - Suspension Fault

    So I was driving along this morning, hit a manhole cover and then I hear a "pop" and as i was looking in my side mirror to see what could have caused that noise, I get a "Suspension Fault - Normal Height Only". I stopped the car and turned it off and when I fired it up, the pump made a loud...

    Brake Lights

    I'll try and articulate this the best I can so you guys will have an idea on what I am talking about. I had the rare moment of driving my work car behind the LR with my wife driving it. It was evening so the rear tailights were on. But when she stepped on the brakes, I noticed that only the...

    EPB squeak solution??

    As some of you know, I've been whining about loud squeaking coming from my wheels. From "glazing the axles" to pad changes to everything else. But the loud squeak would come intermittently. Hard to reproduce (especially at the stealership or any garage) but I knew that it would eventually...

    Glazing Axles..

    As some of you may recall, a few months ago, I complained about a loud noise coming from my wheels. It wasnt a full time problem but when it came on, it was LOUD and would coincide with the rotation of the tires. The stealership said that I needed to "glaze my axles" which generated a few...
