    How do you completely delete TPMS on 2007 LR3?, + other minor issue.

    Here's how I used the GAP tool to disable TPMS on my 2006. https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/favorite-iidtool-tricks-and-tips.43374/#post-230967

    Fog light and tire pressure and oarking sensor help

    My guess on the TPMS is the batteries in the wheel sensors are dead. They last about 6 years. I wouldn't spend money on new sensors. Instead, spend the money on a GAP tool and disable the TPMS by setting that feature to Not Equipped. The receiver for the TPMS is above the headline near the...

    numerous codes after lower control arms installed

    I replaced the front LCA on my vehicle. It was a purely mechanical job; just purge air from the system and remove/cut a few bolts to get the old ones out. You 100% need an alignment after. There's also a bit of a 'procedure' before you tighten the bolts on the new LCAs. The center of the wheel...

    Erratic Suspension Leak

    If you know someone in your area that has a GAP tool, you can license a 2nd vehicle for $80 (and probably a six pack).

    How to add Bluetooth, etc., to 2006 LR3 HSE

    I installed the bluetooth thingy from American British Concepts. It was easy to install and works pretty well. It cuts out after about 90 mins for reasons I haven't isolated yet.

    Buying LR3

    The HDC system connects the brakes and the transmission so it makes sense that you're getting faults across those 3 systems at once. I don't have any specific technical advice for you, sorry. The scariest part of that listing is "6th owner." Too many opportunities for "deferred maintenance"...

    Favorite IIDTool tricks and tips

    I've had a TPMS fault for years; likely caused by dead batteries in the wheel sensors. Here are the step I used to disable TPMS on my '06. From the home screen: - Select "Car config" and click "Continue" - Select "Confirmed List..." - Select "Tyre Pressure" - Select "Tire Pressure Monitoring...

    Favorite IIDTool tricks and tips

    I bought a Gap Diagnostics IIDTool not too long ago. I've mostly used it to read/clear faults and do some basic troubleshooting. Last night I took a stab at disabling the TPMS, but I had to guess at the procedure. Searching this forum, there doesn't seem to be a thread to capture the tribal...

    Lower control arm replacements

    I replaced my front LCAs last fall. Britpart has a great video in their youtube channel. The aft bolts were seized on both sides but it was easy to cut through them with a sawzall. Make sure to use carbide blades. You'll need to get an alignment done immediately after but still tighten up the...

    Transmission confusion

    I had a indie LR shop do the transmission fluid change (and filter, but I'd have to check my records) at just over 100K. LR thinks the transmission is good for the "life of the vehicle." Legend has it this means 150K miles. You could also find a ZF specialist since ZF are also found on BMWs...

    P0056 Heated Oxygen Sensor

    Just posting here for the next guy since there wasn't much LR-specific info for this engine code on the interwebs or in the shop manual. The entire error as read by the IIDTool was "P0056-00 (AA) Heater oxygen sensor heater control circuit (bank 2, sensor 2). Bank 2 is the left hand side when...

    Updated sources for skid plating?

    I have an LR3 so not sure if it's the same for your rigs but...my main reason for wanting a sump guard is easier access to the front recovery point. With the factory setup, there's stuff you have to remove. So you either remove/replace for each trip or drive around looking like you've had a...

    SoCal LR3 Rear Diff Service

    Thanks for the update. What was your price out the door (excluding the ARB unit)?

    SoCal LR3 Rear Diff Service

    I'm dropping my rig at O'side Driveline on Monday. They quoted me a day of labor to R&R the carrier and about 3 hours of bench time on the rebuild. Seems a little high but I'd rather start high and revise down. The estimate is about what it'd cost me to swap for a reman'd unit doing the work...

    Control Arm bushing repair NYC area

    If you plan to keep your vehicle, pay the extra money for the control arms pre-loaded with the poly bushings. It's not a difficult job to do yourself even if you have to cut the bolts. I bet your bolts aren't seized since a) you were in CA and b) your mechanic probably wiped copper grease when...

    Increase mileage on LR3

    16 MPG is enviable. I don't think LR achieved perfection with the engine tune and intake/exhaust system but I do think these vehicles are heavy on sensors. Personally, I wouldn't do anything that potentially sends data the sensors aren't expecting (e.g. like more airflow). I used to get 12-14...

    Help fitting Terrafirma rock sliders

    I think you're right. The bolt holes and welds look the same but the metal that wraps around the sill is a different shape. Sorry for the bad info.

    yeah, I know the link to their site is broken but the sliders in the video sure look like the TF ones.

    Help fitting Terrafirma rock sliders

    These look like the TerraFirma sliders. I didn't have the patience to watch the entire video but maybe they address the issue with the AC lines.

    Does the ARB locker mess w/ the terrain response system? I tried looking on ARB's website but it's having issues this morning.

    2011 LR4 Lower Control Arm Replacement/Front Shock Compression issue

    I've always thought control arms had to be replaced in pairs (Left/Right). You definitely need to let the air out of the system and there are youtube videos showing how to do this manually. The car will self-level every so often and you'll need to disable that process by pulling the fuse or...

    SoCal LR3 Rear Diff Service

    I hear you on the OCD. I think it's a requirement for out-of-warranty Land Rover ownership. Yes, LR3s are known for having noisy diffs but that doesn't make the noise easier to hear. Good luck! Seems like the ARB rebuild is a smart way to go.

    SoCal LR3 Rear Diff Service

    Oceanside Driveline was reco'd by my indie LR shop. I know that's not next door to Glendale. I keep putting off the expense; been driving mine for awhile and changing the gear oil every 10K-12K miles to get every bit of life from the original unit. Please keep us posted. Maybe there are enough...

    Help TPMS 2007 LR3

    From the shop manual, "Depending on the vehicle specification, the spare tire may or may not be fitted with a tire pressure sensor." So...yes or no. There's no mention of different sensors for the rear vs front vs spare. They auto-locate so the system know which sensor is associated with which...
