Metalic Thunk after driving a short way
I have occasionally a metallic thunk like a rock hitting the LR3 underside after driving a short distance. Maybe something in the suspension is binding while parked and then releases when road vibration rattles it loose?? Anyone else had this problem? Happens mainly when I make a turn maybe a... -

Time limit on service??
LR3 has 4 year 50,000 mile guarantee. I am not putting much mileage on mine. Have a 2005 with only 14,500 miles. 1. If I go longer than a year before the next service should I at least change my oil? Have been told new synthetics don't acid up like the old oils. 2. If a year goes by and I... -

Piston Slap???
My 2000 D2 has 40,000 miles. There is a clatter like a diesel for about 2 minutes on start up. Oil changes have been by Land Rover since the beginning so oil filters were proper. I have been told by a mechanic that it is piston slap until engine warms up. Any start ups later in the day are... -

Octane
Earlier read something on regular vs premium gas. Can't find the discussion now but I thought one only needed to use an octain level that didn't "ping." All sorts of arguments both ways. I have been using regular in both my D2 and RRC since prices went out of sight. Someone said warranty would...
