Asessing the impact of speed bumps
I drove my car behind my wife's LR3 this morning since I was taking the same route and she was dropping off the kids to school. I have noticed that she does not :mad: slow down on any of the speed bumps (there are about 20 of them before exiting to the main street). Granted, one does not feel... -

Options for Tow Hitches
Narrowed down my choices to either the Curt Tow Hitch or the OEM accessory KNB500080. My problem with the LR Tow Hitch is the fact that it does not have holes for the safety chains, is that not mandatory in the US? For those who are using this part, how or where do you attach the hooks for the... -

How do I treat rusty muffler pipes
Looks like the rear muffler pipes (under the heat protectors) have surface rust on them... Are these stainless steel or are they your average steel pipes. Does it make sense to sand them lightly and perhaps paint them with high temp paint to reduce the likelihood of rust formation. I will... -

Alignement vs. New Tires
So, I book the car in for service (2008 HSE V8), I go in and tell the guy I need an alignment to address the car's 'veering to the right' problem. The service advisor asks if I had replaced my tires, I said no, because although I bought the car used, it only had about at about 27,000 miles, the... -

SATNAV Help
My car is a 2008 model, probably manufactured during the summer of 2007. Everytime I start the engine, the agree screen on the Satnav pops up, does this mean I need a new battery, or can I program the unit to remove this useless feature. The car runs fine with no warning lights all over the... -

Whats up with the lifetime Auto Transmission Fluid?
How can a mechanical part, which will experience daily wear and tear, not have its lubricant changed? Is it a ploy by the maker (and I am not saying that it is) to change transmissions every few years by the owners? Will Land Rover pick up the cost of a new transmission if poor lubrication was... -

Source for Sparkle Finish Paint
Ah the curb wheel rash, I may have missed this one during my pre-purchase visual inspection of the car, but there it is on one of the rear wheels, a small area of about two inches on the end tip of the wheel. Being anal, this has to be repaired or else I will suffer many sleepless nights. Just... -

Non OEM Hitch Choices
Hi All. I was wondering if anyone installed a hitch other than OEM. The cost is reasonable at around $150-170, they attach to the frame rails. How do they look from the back of the truck? Are there any pros/cons to installing a non OEM hitch? Thanks. -

Price of a replacement key
I was quoted nearly $600 for a replacement key for the Ladie which I had bought yesterday. The previous owner committed to pay for it initially because I thought a couple of hundred bucks, but this is simply insane! -

LR3 in the Sand
Many of my friends who own Land Cruisers are claiming that the LR3 is just about useless in the sand and sand dunes. While I will not perform sand buggy-like antics in the LR3, I expect it to go everywhere a Land Cruiser would go and then some. Many have commented on its "poor entry/exit... -
