New to Land Rover's....Maintenance Issues on 06' LR3?!
I've had my 2006 LR3 SE for just over 3 years. I've put 41,030 miles on it. Currently have 127050. I've spent $6100 on it in expenses (Including oil and oil/air filter changes). I have done most of the work myself. Major items Spark Plug replacement - $90 Offroad center console control... -

Where's the leak?
You have mentioned removing fuses, but have you just unhooked the battery to see what happens? I remember reading something like this in the past and the issue was the exhaust valve wasn't sealing. No clue if that is your issue, but should be worth a look. -

Where's the leak?
I can't imagine that there is anything wrong with your struts... Either some valves are leaking by, or something else is going on. I had an issue a while ago where a wire broke to the front valve block and it gave me a "sensor error" because the height sensor didn't change when it expected... -

LR3 Xenon Replacement bulbs - thoughts & opinions
I replaced mine over a year ago with Eiko D2S lamps, when the driver side went out. I spent about $100, been very happy with them. -

Where's the leak?
What does your exhaust valve look like, and did you do anything with the center valve block? Mine sinks all the time, usually if not driven in a few days, it will be on the bump stops. It always has in the 3+ years I have had it. It always comes right back up. -

Need help installing older style roof crossbars
My 2006 came with the crossbars with locks... I've never seen those in your picture before. You need a lever or lock to secure the bar to the LR3.. -

Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
I've had mine set to alarm for the three years I have owned my vehicle.... And really, I don't think I've ever used it... I was unable to program mine to unlock the rear hatch... I wouldn't do it. I think I will set it to the lights. That might be a useful feature. Especially when I was... -

Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
I too was severely disappointed in the air suspension setting for the third button... So I have to open the car, and turn on the hazards to get it to work? Kinda defeats the purpose of walking up with my parents, and pushing the button to lower the truck to help them get in... I don't... -

Disable DRL
You have to have the dealer do it, or use a Faultmate or IIDTool. It is a programming option. I have an IIDTool, so I could play with it, but as I don't see where I can just have the outside running lights (side markers, rear tail lights) on without turning on the headlights, I haven't made... -

Disable DRL
I'd love the running lights to be on all the time, but I haven't been able to find a way to do it. You need the T4 computer, or one of the home versions (IIDTool or like) to enable/disable DRL. I don't have anything enabled. There are two different options, Canadian and Scandinavian, haven't... -

K & N Air Filter?
I've never understood K&N filters. Spend more money, wash, rinse and reoil, or just buy a new paper filter every x miles and swap in 5 minutes.... I'd rather spend the time a K&N filter needs doing something else. I've been buying Mann C 31 196 filters for about $16 every 9 months or so... -

Is it worth it to spend $300 for a 68K mile oil service?
LR3's came with Castrol Syntec, which is a synthetic oil... The new version of it is Castrol Edge.. You can buy a 5 qt jug at Walmart for $25. I do all my own maintenance, oil changes cost me about $55 (average, as I buy 2 jugs of oil for the first one, and 1 jug for the next one, and a... -

Help Towing a 23' Airstream Travel Trailer
I really don't understand the high end cars and the LED trailer wiring.. Trailers have been going to LED lights for more than 10 years, yet LR, Merc, BMW, VW and others have trouble pulling them... I have three trailers that I pull regularly, my 96 popup (conventional bulbs), my 2001 Harbor... -

Will it cause any issues in the LR3 if I coast in neutral gear for a long time?
If no fuel is going into the engine when you are coasting, are you still getting detonation? If not, why do you have exhaust sounds? From air moving through the system? -

Will it cause any issues in the LR3 if I coast in neutral gear for a long time?
Sorry... Not possible.. You are using fuel for the RPM's. The LR3 uses the engine to brake the speed of the truck going down hills.. To test your theory, go down a hill and then shut off your ignition, I bet you immediately slow down due to loss of power from the engine. If his theory is... -

Suggestions for economical running boards for my LR3
You can't get access to the same holes on the driver side because of the air compressor… The passenger side rear mount seems much more robust than the driver's side, mainly because the bolting positions are much better. -

Suggestions for economical running boards for my LR3
I was able to pick up some bolts.. I was able to make them pretty snug, but not super tight.. Hopefully in the future I will get to snug them up a bit. I used 3/8" bolts, and used a straw and a piece of yarn to thread them through holes in the frame to get to the right holes… The...
