    Approaching 75k miles

    Hello guys, so my LR3 is almost at 75k miles, I've spent thousands kn the suspension alone (2 compressors, valve blocks, air struts, etc. what a headache) so I am going to keep it for quite some time. However I am going to England for just over a year and I am trying to convince my father to...

    Where's the leak?

    yet another of the endless issues with the rubbish suspension... say what you want but IMO the air system is an absolute liability. New air compressor,new front valve and both air struts where replaced over the past year and it still lowers overnight, if I disconnect fuse 26 or whichever is the...

    differential maintenance $$

    Hello, so the oil change is due soon and I thought that at 68k miles perhaps giving a bit of love to the diffs may come handy. So I want to ask you how much does your dealer or indy charges for the diff oil change? Just to give me an idea if my dealer price is in, at, or out of the money. Most...

    Yet another EAS Fiasco

    So I changed my air compressor and replaced it with a brand new factory sealed AMK and still the rear right strut goes down after some time, yes it now goes down slower but still noticable within less than 2 hours. WTF is going on?? dealer said it was the compressor, indies said it was the...

    How To Jump

    I've been waiting for the AMK compressor for 3 weeks now and the indy says that tomorrow he'll have a precise DATE!!! absolute scum, but to be fair I've never met a mechanic that isn't (at least not in Mexico or England) Anyhow, my question is: Can I jump start the compressor? my old one...

    Where's my water?

    I try not to use the A/C but summer here is around 100+ farenheit so I of course use it a load from may-september, but I have noticed the water that is supposed to drain from the A/C is not draining. Both passenger and driver floor are dry, I unclogged the AC drains a bit under a year ago so I...

    hitachi compressor use

    So, my new AMK compressor is due next week and, old and leaky as it is the old hitachi is still able to rise the LR3, so I was thinking to adapt it to the boot so that I can use it to inflate the tyres after airing down when off road. Is this possible?? can I connect it to the 12v power outlet...

    Random misbehaviour

    While waiting for the new compressor my LR3 has presented 2 new random errors: 1st- 2 days ago I used the parking brake as per usual (I use it almost every time I park) and it started flashing a yellow brake light and saying parking brake fault after I turned the engine off. I then turned it on...

    Fuel system cleaner

    Guys which fuel system cleaner do you recommend? I heard in this forum BG's 44K but I'm having a bit of trouble finding it here in Mexico. Is there any descent alternative? prestone any good? I'm currently getting 11 mpg so perhaps an injector cleaner may help

    Is this the rear air valve?

    So, I'm back home and coming July I'll be using my LR3 again... some may remember I've been having suspension issues for AGES! my 3 currently leaks almost all of the rear air in a matter of an hour or so and as it is apparently IMPOSSIBLE to find an honest mechanic (who can work on Land...

    random damaged tyre

    guys so I realised my front right tyre has got some weird damage, it certainly doesn't look like wear to me, the weird thing is that only that one tyre has it, the other 3 are absolutely good, what do you think, have I got a lemon? or do I go offoad too much. The set is rather new, wear...

    Sport mode

    I don't really need it but for the past 3 weeks I've noticed that it works randomly, there are times when it shifts properly and other (like today) when it won't shift from D to SPORT, if I shift it won't show the gear numbers either. It doesn't drive odd neither can I feel any issue with the...

    Tonga green bumper

    Hello guys! I was curious regarding the bumper. If I want to do a face-lift and fit my Tonga Green LR3 with the new headlamps and rear lights etc. should I buy an LR4 bumper and paint it or can one get it in this colour?

    can a leak in the EAS compressor

    can a leak in the compressor cause the rear suspension to drop? My LR dealer called this morning and after a week of "inspecting" the vehicle which dropped only the rear they say it is a small leak in the compressor. I don't buy it because according to me that would cause the whole EAS to...

    RAI/Snorkel

    I have a doubt regarding this, I've read that LR's Raised Air Intake is not a proper snorkel because it is not sealed or something like that? while Safari's snorkel is actually sealed. I am not really keen on Safari's design tbh so I was thinking about buying Safari's system and use the sealed...

    Random Errors, what you think?

    So after a few ghost suspension faults over the last month, today while I was braking for a red light, the LR3 randomly showed this and went into access mode: I do not think that the transmission, suspension, HDC and ABS systems can actually fail all at the same time, so I am guessing it is...

    "Ghost" suspension fault?

    Alright guys so I have the weirdest problem, my LR3 gives me a yellow suspension fault in an absolutely random manner, compressor is working properly and the ride feels the same, also when I don't have the fault I can rise it to off road height with no problem and it will also enter extended...
