A sad day
I received an unexpected call today . ... My extended warranty has expired. I planned on extending, but the company will no longer support extended warranties on Land Rovers . . . I had better start saving pennies . . . . Or in The case of LR3s, dollars.- MilehighLR3

Air Strut Question and Comment
Houm, re: coil spacer, I think you're right. Because the angles change, ever so slightly, custom UCA's maybe a worthwhile experiment. Not sure I want to tackle that though. The OE UCA has some funky shapes and clearances, bought a spare to test grinding down the sharp fold over where it...- MilehighLR3

Air Strut Question and Comment
Houm .. . My front strut failure was front passenger side . . .weird coincidence? When I had the front end apart installing the replacements there isn't any noticeable differences. Geometries looked the same. I wonder if it has something to do with the sway bar when the suspension is in...- MilehighLR3

2011 RR Vogue TDV8 Battery Issues
Vittorio, Sorry for hijacking your post, I'm a Landy guy but have some experience with batteries . . . .your situation seems odd. The batteries are designed to provide a couple of hours of power at a fairly high current draw. My guess is that your battery is either not receiving an adequate...- MilehighLR3

Arnott bags/strut versus OE
The travel is identical. All of the fittings and bolt patterns are the same as well. They are designed to be a direct replacement.- MilehighLR3

Arnott bags/strut versus OE
Houm, prices aren't much different from the OE springs. With shipping from FL to CO, there was maybe $20-$30 saved total. Probably initially you would have seen similar savings like the Audi example, but if you shop the OE springs, you can find them far less than dealer prices. I bought the...- MilehighLR3

Arnott bags/strut versus OE
After my blow-out, I reinstalled the old "bags" I took out. After rolling on those for the last several months I decided it may be worth the exercise to buy a set of Arnott "bags" . . . . was quite surprised at the quality. The Arnott design uses a Bilstein shock and Goodyear bladder that...- MilehighLR3

New air sping mfr?
All, in my quest to contribute to this great nation's economy I ran across a "new" air spring company. Arnott Industries. Seems they have a Bilstein/Goodyear Bladder strut for the LR3. Anyone ever hear or use these? I had to reinstall my spare OE struts after I ruptured the canisters on...- MilehighLR3

Popped a front air bag/strut on a class 4 trail this weekend.
When the fronts popped, it dropped the front to the bump stops. The rears were still inflated. I had to adjust the rod length to drop the rear down enough to attempt to smooth out the ride. The computer kept telling me the speed was limited but it didn't prevent driving at highway-ish speeds...- MilehighLR3

That's an excellent point . . . . Likely easier than fabbing a new upper control arm. I installed the spare struts . . . Still have the suspension failure, had to drop it off at the dealer . . . . .- MilehighLR3

Popped a front air bag/strut on a class 4 trail this weekend.
Funny, I used to have a BIG Jeep . . . .8" lift, 37's, locked front and rear, geared . . . sold it to buy the LR3 for a more "adult" toy. Ah, the price of admission. I have a business "friend" that is building a D110 "overland" for SEMA this year. So cool, would love to find one that I can...- MilehighLR3

Popped a front air bag/strut on a class 4 trail this weekend.
Wow . . .was really thinking the Toddco lift I put on contributed to the problem. I was working on putting the "old" struts back on this afternoon, couldn't figure out how/why the upper control arm was hitting the canister, couldn't get it to hit. I had new canisters (all four, bought from...- MilehighLR3

Popped a front air bag/strut on a class 4 trail this weekend.
Well, ran Mosquito Pass with a couple of friends this weekend. A typical beautiful Colorado fall day. About halfway, after you make the first "climb" and it flattens out "POP . . .sissssssssss". I rubbed a hole in the canister of the right side front air bag. The good thing, an LR3 can run...- MilehighLR3

Tire Size Advice Please
Check out Johnson Rods' website. He has done a great job researching tires and sizes. I don't believe BFG makes one that will fit without a suspension "adjustment". I have the 285/60 Nitto's with Terrafirma spacers. . Without a lift adjustment they rub at full lock (reversing), annoying...- MilehighLR3

The most uncomfortable SUV ever?
I recently had my 05 in for an alignment (installed a 2" lift). They said the bushings needed replaced. HUGE difference in ride quality! I could not imagine that it would make that big of a difference, but it did. I only have 45k miles on my 05 too . . . . When I installed the lift...- MilehighLR3

Suspension Fault while parked
I got the same "raising slowly" message after I installed the Toddco 2" spacer lift. From what I can tell, it's because the air system was low on pressure. I wouldn't say that it's because you havea faulty compressor. I also experienced a weird fault with the lift (it wouldn't drop to...- MilehighLR3

How many years did you get out of your OEM battery?
I'm a battery industry veteran of 20+ years. Battery life is largely dependent on where you live. Hot climates= less life, cool climates= longer life. I replaced my Interstate a year ago with an Odyssey (same mfr as the Sears Platinum). If it's in the budget, replace the battery. I'd...- MilehighLR3
