    2007 LR3 front differential ?

    Front diff! and after having the front diff fluid changed the mechanic indicated that there wasn't even the tiniest of fragments in the drained fluid--so for now I feel pretty good about just keeping on moving!! thanks for all input!!

    Mattress Pad in the back - Recommendations?

    I use a foam pad that has memory foam layer--when camping I leave it as a bed in the back and put extra bags and stuff on top if I need the extra room for things--as it is memory foam putting the extra weight on it while traveling--doesn't affect it--plus no having to inflate an air...

    2007 LR3 front differential ?

    Thanks!! that's what I wanted to hear!! I can live with noise for awhile if it decides to give up--at least until I could get it replaced--just didn't want to be left out on the road or dirt somewhere!!:)

    2007 LR3 front differential ?

    Thanks! Yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking--so having new fluid put in---and will see what happens. I've heard that when the diff goes it can go out really quickly without any real warning--that's the part that worries me going on a longer trip--if anyone has any thoughts on that would like...

    2007 LR3 front differential ?

    Took the LR3 into the shop-independent Rover shop. LR3 has about 150,000 miles on it--they indicated that the front differential was starting to make a bit of noise not bad but starting--fluid looks clean. The are doing the 150,000 mile tune up--no other problems--car runs great! So the...

    Ladder ? for LR3 (but prob same for any Rover)

    Thanks for all advice on ladders----I ended up with the Heininger Hitchmate from amazon for $50.00--mainly because it was adjustable for height--it fits over the tire -- stable enough so that you don't feel like you are going to fall backward as I did when standing on top of the rear tire to...

    Ladder ? for LR3 (but prob same for any Rover)

    Thanks-thought about those-I'm 5'8" it looks like most of those wheel steps only go about half way up the wheel--for now--I just step up on the wheel to get to the cargo on top--awkward as I have to hold on with one hand to balance-thus the reason for looking--just don't think the wheel step...

    Ladder ? for LR3 (but prob same for any Rover)

    Thanks Landy--I thought about that device--it would work in the front door section but the back doors have an angle--not sure the device would work there---have you tried it in the back door sections??

    Ladder ? for LR3 (but prob same for any Rover)

    Thanks--definitely makes sense--seems like the only viable alternative!!

    Ladder ? for LR3 (but prob same for any Rover)

    Thanks but all the ones I've seen so far are for rear mounted ladders with the exception of the Rhino which attaches to one of its roof top baskets--which I don't use.

    Ladder ? for LR3 (but prob same for any Rover)

    I have an LR3--I often travel with one of the large thule rooftop carriers. I typically access the rooftop box by standing on the rear tire! Which although it works--when you need two hands to take something out--well it's not feasible without falling off! It just doesn't seem like a rear...

    Worth upgrade LR3 to LR4?

    I have an 07 LR3 with the 8 cyl--mechanically excellent-exterior almost like new as is the interior 143,000 +- miles--finally took a 3,000 mile road trip up to Montana, Wyoming Utah (just got back a couple of days ago) I'm a photographer seeking out wildlife that's away from people(as opposed to...

    LR3-engine just shut down while driving

    My LR3 still occasionally does the same thing--I know this is going to sound weird--but lets face it--Rovers have weird issues--if I drive to the end of my block really slow--that's when the reduce engine performance message will come on (and not every time)--and then if I am pulling into a...

    LR3-engine just shut down while driving

    Thanks--I replaced all the coils recently--kind of suspecting that maybe I didn't replace the MAF (had a range rover that I did replace the MAF on--prob got them mixed up in my head!!) Will try that next---weird thing is since last week when it last shut down-it hasn't happened since--nor has...

    LR3-engine just shut down while driving

    Well codes showed crank sensor fault which was replaced and a week later same thing happened--code went on reduced engine performance---once stopped and restarted code went off and then a couple of days later while coming to a stop(at under 5MPH) the engine shut off again---restarted fine and...

    Hopefully problem solved--took it into the shop--Crank Sensor! Hopefully this helps someone else that may experience a similar problem. (And hopefully that solves the problem) thanks Ron

    LR3-engine just shut down while driving

    Thanks--think the thermostat is within a year--but the MAF may not be.

    LR3-engine just shut down while driving

    Thanks--yeah--I plan on taking it in for sure--was just hoping someone might have had something similar happen or some idea what the cause was so I'd have some idea what I'm looking at $.

    LR3-engine just shut down while driving

    2007 LR3 -- the Reduced Engine Performance message came on a couple times in the last week--but there was no difference in driving. today it came on again while driving then after about 5 minutes the message was gone. 10 minutes later I pulled into a parking lot and I didn't even notice that the...

    LR3-or any Rover--kayak on racks?

    I have an LR3 with Thule racks and I bought some Malone kayak wings that attach to the Thule racks that work ok---problem is I bought a 13' Old Town Predator fishing kayak--it weighs north of 80lbs. While I can lift the kayak nose up to the back of my rover using a thule pad on the back (to...
