    Key Fob Destroyed - Car is not worth cost of key - Alternative way to start?

    Tow to the dealer. Order key. program key. 5 days for them to do it and $500. The emperor has no clothes. I am completely serious to dump this piece of shit if someone wants it.

    Key Fob Destroyed - Car is not worth cost of key - Alternative way to start?

    I've posted about my 2006 LR3 before, and how much I simply hate the car. Nevertheless, it is sitting in the middle of my driveway, can't start it because the key fob is wrecked. I have the key, the fob is beyond repair. I'm not towing this piece of crap anywhere to get it fixed, let alone...

    OK - Now the ***** is just being spiteful. Both sides, the door trim fell off. Both on the same day. I have a tube of "Liquid Nails" somewhere. Gotta show Buttercup who the boss is.

    WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? BUYING MY FIRST LR4...

    If I had it all to do over? 1989 60 series Toyota Land Cruiser (diesel) red, mostly stock. Use the money saved to buy a small house, knowing I'd never be bled to death on repair bills.

    ACDelco Oil Filter

    ^^^ THE most honest, correct answer thus far. Things I teach my children - Leave the dance with the guy that brung ya. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Use a FRAM filter no matter what kind of vehicle it is.

    Two very important points - One -I have not asked for assistance on anything except for identifying certain warning lights that I - no kidding - could not find even in the owners manual. I have not asked anyone how to fix anything, I don't think. I have stated how I am going to fix these...

    Bite your tongue! If I had any clue it would have been like this, I would have kept the Disco II and dropped $4k into her. If I were to ever to get an LR again after this it would be a Disco II, or a restored 60s-70s unit that just drips the thoughts of "Savanna Safari" on it. I misunderstood...

    Why is this thread disturbing/upsetting to people? It is a Vehicle. I am not my vehicle, you are not yours. I'm not taking shortcuts, I am correcting errors built into the vehicle in an alternative manner. I truly believe that. This vehicle is EXACTLY like the fantastic HP printers that are...

    Can someone tell me what this is? It blinks till I push it, then it goes off, but that seems kind of pointless, yes? I actually do have the Owners manual for this HSE, yet I can't find the reason for the blinking button. Until I know better I am assuming it is the "You are peeing on a traffic...

    Thank you all for your replies. You can't take my approach personally - I would love to have a working driving LRIII, I simply refuse to pay a fortune to make it happen. I mean no insult whatsoever to the many who suffer thru these same problems. I have owned an OBDII reader, and upgraded...

    What do you suggest? I'm not happy to have to do this BS either. I'm actually seriously asking you, what do you suggest? I have it, and I'm in it for $5500 - want it? My List is down to Trans Fault Cruise Control Not Permitted Check Brake Pads / Brakes Engine System Fault Low Coolant...

    Oh, I was just thinking that - I'm sure killing that blinking light will take out my parking brake & stop the radio from working as well.

    Figure this out - I'm willing to take apart the dash to remove the warning bulb, but I can't get myself to put tape over it.

    If I can't make it funny, laugh at the mess I've gotten myself into, I might as well set the damn thing on fire now.. Thanks for the tip - Warning light does not come on until after the lights have been on a while - They always point where they should, and they do their little dance on...

    Thank you - how do I turn off the warning light? I'm not buying new headlights. Willing to spend $5 on the fix

    Any known way to disable/kill/shut off the bi-directional headlight warning light/buzzer without spending more than $30? Can someone explain what bi-directional headlights are and why I need them? Ah - on further reading, I now see what they are. Only one time did I see the headlights do the...

    Day One - New Meaning for "Fast & Furious" - My meaning is how quickly the fault codes came at me that I had to turn off & start the car 4 times to get them all. Here they Are Trans Fault Cruise Control Not Permitted Check Brake Pads / Brakes Engine System Fault Low Coolant Level Suspension...

    This is what I started with - Then the air ride to coilover replacement I am determined that, all fixes from this point on, will be "shade tree" No money fixes. Cutting, disconnecting, removing, cheating, to make all the noise go away.

    Again - LRII was one of my favourite vehicles I ever owned. LRIII it seems as if they looked at every single part on the vehicle and said "How can we make this more complicated, more expensive, and more difficult to maintain?" I am $5500 in and have driven maybe 200 miles

    I loved my LRII - put 300k miles on it. It blew a head gasket in there somewhere, but it was nothing Bars Leak could not fix. Two or three times. A few sets of tires, could actually go off-road in it if I wanted to (nothing major) LOVED that car. But all good things must end - Paint had mostly...
