    FS: GAP IID Tool BT

    I only used it three times because I was previously using RSW software which was fine but I couldn’t pinpoint my problem with it and this was able to identify the issue first time. Then we decided to sell the LR3 so I no longer have a use for it any longer. We just traded the car so I wasn’t...

    FS: GAP IID Tool BT

    Selling a like new Gap diagnostic IId tool, Bluetooth version G3 (used literally 3 times). Works and looks brand new. no longer have the vehicle so this essential item is up for grabs. It has been registered to my land rover, so you'll need to buy a new license/transfer ownership for $36 from...

    Lifted lr4 alignment question

    I'm right with you with almost all your mods - I'm running 2.5" all around with 32s but I still have tire wear issues, so I'm interested to see if anyone has heard of a shim kit for these vehicles but my guess is we're just out of luck if we lift it. All I know is my 60k nittos are probably...

    Lower Control Arm ball-joint

    I just pressed out the upper ball joints a month or two ago (using the O'Reilley's ball joint press and some elbo grease - note that this one doesn't have the perfect cups sized for reinstall so I had to use a deep socket from my toolbox for re-install opposed to the rental tools provided...

    LR3 2008 Suspension Height Sensor Linkage

    Let me know if you still need that rear measurement - I just swapped out my failing stock ride height sensors in the rears and it came with the rubber ones that were about the same length as my Johnson rods for the rears (which is kinda funny as I remember them being shorter all the way around...

    Roof Rack Roof Top Tent

    We sport the Frontrunner roof rack for the last few years and love it - easy to add/remove accessories - easy to put together and build quality is good - has quick mount tent mounts available but you'll have to check your specific RTT. I'm also contemplating adding a tent but haven't done so on...

    Broken coolant return nipple and fix

    I actually cracked the radiator pipe connection but luckily it only cracked and I was able to JB weld it back when I slapped on new hoses...Will be adding a new Rad and probably trans cooler when I open it up next. gotta love aging plastics and rubber on these beasts...

    Upper Ball Joint Replacement / Tool size needed - tried searching

    Just an update...I ended up renting the ball joint press from O'Reilly's Auto - (can't recall what brand it was) but after removing the threaded screw cap I was able to get the ball joint pressed out. The threads were too long to fit within the press so this ended up working great (sorry I was...

    Current info on installing back up camera?

    Thanks for that info...it's certainly worth a shot and see what can / can't be displayed by looping that line...some use may be better than nothing...I do still have the head unit but I'm not sure where I could hide it but at a minimum I'm definately going to try to loop that optical cable.

    Suspension problems after compressor and front structs replacement

    Yes the center valve block could be the problem but since you state that the rears deflate first I would look at that rear valve block. Sounds like what my front was doing about 2 years ago. The problem I had was the valve block was leaking back into the tank so it was an issue with the oring...

    Current info on installing back up camera?

    yes display works but there is no way to "T" off the optical cable from the new wiring harness for the radio so it just displays Land Rover screen as shown...I'll probably just take it out and put in the standard cubby if I can find on or mount up an ipad for some dedicated gia mapping...

    Upper Ball Joint Replacement / Tool size needed - tried searching

    To those that have replaced their front upper ball joints - what tool did you use to do the removal and re-install. Both of my joints have broken seals so I'm hoping to just swap them without taking the upper control arm off the vehicle (if I have to take off the upper control arms I'm just...

    Current info on installing back up camera?

    I swapped radios to get my backup camera setup - I like it but I do miss my offroad screen a bit...love the carplay though. I installed it for the exact reason you stated so I could make trailering up a one man show. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4kL57nIq4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link...

    ~14.88 Voltage?

    I just swapped to an AGM last year and notice that my voltage ranges in the 14.x range with a max of 14.8 (at least from what I've noticed). Seems perfectly normal (note I'm running an LR3 but platform wise probably still applicable). I've noticed that when the variable voltage recharge...

    "Bucking" during acceleration

    I had a very similar thing go on with my LR3- if it’s not the trans fluid first thing I’d check / replace is the MAF (make sure to use the OEM brand as these trucks are very finicky with the maf apparently). and then plugs and then fuel injectors... almost bet money it’s the maf and it won’t...

    Towing Travel Trailer with 2005 LR3?

    I too tow a lot, I even have 2" rods with 32" tires and I've used both swap control solid arms and no sway control and honestly I think the electronics in the LR work much better with no sway control. It should be noted that my tongue weight is about 500# and I do have kids and bags in the rear...

    Air suspension shock replacement

    Sounds like an internal leak back into the tank - this is exactly what my front valve block was doing before I rebuilt it. since all 4 struts are losing air I'd check the center valve (which is also the easiest to fix / replace). britishpartsofutah sells an o-ring kit for like 30 bucks for all...

    Air suspension shock replacement

    I replaced my fronts with Arnott about 2 years ago and feel they are as good if not better then the OEM stuff. My rears just started leaking about a month ago after rebuilding all the air valves so I'm about to order the 2 rears as well. One note Arnott recently put out a newer revised version...

    To buy or not to buy...

    I'll add one other often overlooked item to the need to check list at 150K - seems like a lot of landy owners at this mileage / age start to see degradation of the rubber carriage bearings on the rear driveshaft...I had to replace mine last month after a few like minded guys did the same...

    2012 LR4 Slow suspension leak...?

    I know arnott sells them separately as I accidentally lost one when I replaced my fronts - I believe they are the same thread size as the stock struts (haven't verified if they fit the stock blocks) but it would be a pretty easy source to check and carry the proper psi rating for the system. I...
