    Door is acting strange when i open it

    If I don't have the key in my hand, the unlocked door opens normally. With the key, It acts as if the car is locked, something clicks in the door and the blinkers blink. Even if the door is open, if I pull on the handle again, I can hear the mechanism in the door clicking and the blinkers...

    interior lights not coming on...sometimes

    Well, my beautiful baby is turning 6 next month. I haven't used the extended warranty one single time, amazingly. So my interior lights come on most of the time when I open the door but occasionally don't. I haven't figured out exactly what the scenario is but for sure they never come on when...

    IID tool and TPMS

    Could somebody with IID tool please tell me what the settings are for TPMS? Mine isn't showing up on the dash, I tried to restore it but no dice. Thanks

    Gap tool

    Hey my hat's off to you if you have a solid handle on using this thing. I sure can't. Turning off TPMS was easy. Once you find the setting, there's a clear "TPMS off" setting. But to turn it on, there's about 25 different settings, all in different mumbo jumbo I have no idea what the correct...

    battery low warning

    Since I bought my '13 two years ago, periodically I get a "turn on engine, battery low" message and icon on my nav screen. Maybe 1 out of 10 or 15 starts. It flashes on for a fraction of a second before the Nav boots up. So fast that I'm not exactly sure what it actually does say. Zero other...

    Gas gauge reading

    Since having my 2013 for the past year, I have found that I never have put more than ~18 gallons in it. And that is when the computer tells me I have 0 miles to empty. So I have 4.8 gallons left, roughly 90 miles, and don't have the balls to trust that the reading is so conservative. Is this...

    Never ending TPMS saga

    So I got a new set of TPMS to go on my 265/60/18 BFGs with 1.25" spacers. They didn't work. The TPMS company said that it turns out that they were having problems with those sensors, so yesterday they sent me OEM sensors. Still don't work. Dash says TPMS error or some such thing. I went on...

    intersting observation..well to me

    I've noticed this before, but today I got out a tape measure to verify. There is 3.25" from the back of my front right tire to the fender arch. There's a little under 2.75" from back of tire to left fender arch. Likewise the front of tire to front of arch are offset - so at least the wheel...

    reasons for no start?

    Hi all, My '05 LR3 will not start when it's cold. First a little history: This summer, it developed a timing chain tensioner rattle. From what I gather, the oil leaks out of a valve or something in the tensioner and upon startup there's a clatter sound that lasts a second or so, and then...

    lots of cranks to start up.

    This has happened before, I actually think it just sort of went away - which has me thinking it has to do with the colder weather.... It can crank for one second, or 15 seconds before starting. It doesn't seem to make much difference whether the engine is warm or not - although I think it...

    Let's talk offsets

    I've been considering the compomotives but have a question about the 'offset'. Truth is, I don't know what that really means. :albertein Will the wheel stick out farther than the stock rim? If so, how much? If it doesn't, how does this 18" rim fit and the LR 18" rim not?

    No, I don't need gas!

    I'm tired of that monstrously tacky orange fuel pump light telling me I need gas. I ran down to '5 miles' to empty and still could only fit 18.9 gallons in last night. So, why on Earth does the warning come on when I still have 100-150 miles left? Stupid. And who's idea was it to switch from...

    LR3 engine change

    Quick stupid question. Was there a change in the V8 engine from 05-09? Mechanic said in 05 it was BMW then Ford after that. If true, I sure didn't know it....if false, I don't think I trust this mechanic!

    brake clicking

    Just today I started hearing/feeling a clicking noise. Only in neutral or park, and with the accessories switch on or the car running, there is an audible clicking noise that can also be felt through the gear shift nob when I either press or release the brake pedal. It definitely hasn't...

    VVT clatter

    I can't recall anybody on this site having this problem, which is that the variable valve timing actuator makes a clattering noise upon startup. It lasts for about a second and then disappears. From what I've read elsewhere, it doesn't really cause any damage so I haven't fixed it. Anybody...

    iphone and bluetooth and message alerts

    OK, if it exists I'm not seeing it. When the phone is hooked up with the car, phone calls come through and that's all great. But there is no noise from either phone or car when I get a text or email (or any other app). Truthfully, it's probably a good thing :smile: but I'd still like to know if...

    Well she's here!

    Got the new used LR4 this past weekend! For the most part it's crazy ass amazing. I'm actually really surprised by how old it makes the LR3 feel. They've already become fast friends, will be hard to get rid of the 3, it's been a very good rig. I'm sure I'll have plenty of comments...

    wheel spacers

    So, is this the worst thing ever to put on a LR4? It's kind of enticing because I have a set of 18" rims with snow tires. I would only do it for the winter (maybe 4 months), easy driving. I've read some anecdotal stories about them falling off and whatnot. But if they were torqued right...

    CPO warranty

    Hi all, I'm picking up my brand spanking used 2013 LR4 this weekend! My first of thousands of questions is about the CPO warranty. How many scheduled services are there between 25000 and 100000 miles? Sounds like I have to do them to keep the warranty going? Do they HAVE to be done at the...

    Brake swap with LR3?

    So, thinking about my inevitable upgrade to an LR4, I think that one of the single biggest drawbacks is the 19" rims and lack of 'fun' tire options that so many of you have grappled with. I suppose with not many other options, I would probably seek out some Compo's. But now I'm wondering if...

    easy? question

    Seems like it should be. I'm looking around at used LR4s. I've noticed in the pictures that some have a parking sensor button next to the hazards, and some don't. Don't they all have parking sensors? Or does it have to do with whether or not they have backup cameras or something? TIA

    what to do what to do, 4runner?

    After having this LR3 for 7+ years, I'm getting the itch to at least start thinking about what to get next. I've had only Land Rovers since 1995 and have been very satisfied, especially with the last one. But I'm wondering if a change is in order. Which brings me to the very very short list...

    EPB woes

    Sometimes yellow light on, sometimes yellow light on and red light blinking. Sometimes yellow light off and red light blinking. Sometimes no lights on until I come to a stop and red light blinks and audible beeps. Parking brake doesn't work - unless I'm moving in which case it has worked a...
