My 08 LR3 started showing signs of a bad/leaking rear air valve recently. Rear was low then on the bump stops overnight. Battery disconnect test showed both sides lowering evenly so last weekend I replaced the rear air valve (what a PITA by the way).
Now only the passenger (right) side lowers...
Just replaced my water pump and belt to fix a squeak and whiffs of coolant from the engine. When I have everything out I checked all of the bearings (idlers and tensioners) for smoothness and end play. The one pulley I questioned was the one that the fan mounts to on the Belt Tensioner Pulley...
So the brand new overflow tank seems to lose coolant from the bleeder screw in the top of the tank on a regular basis. So much so that I have to add coolant in weekly. New tank, new "T" bleeder, system filled and bled, etc.
It appears that return coolant is getting "stuck" in a small...
Noticed the Low Coolant warning is coming on briefly as I enter the driveway (which is on an incline). Warning goes away quickly and does not show during normal driving.
Coolant is full, bled properly, etc.
Strange eh? Sensor?

Anyway, after I took the beauty cover off the engine I immediately noticed an open ended 1/4" hose sitting just...

Recently I stumbled across partsgeek.com (while searching for a hard to source part for my other vehicle) who lists a...
New to us 2008 LR3 is showing the Tyre Pressure Warning intermittently. New tires on all four, I aired everything up to spec and gauge checked all four wheels (plus spare) and they all are holding air just fine - but the warning light and message still turns on and off with regular frequency on...
Just quick hello from a brand new LR3 owner in the Seattle area. I've had a love for LR's since my college (Jeep CJ7) days and finally bought one (2008 LR3 in White).
Of course this new ride will mostly shuttle kids back and forth but we hope to occasionally take it up a few trails and...
