    High cambus?

    The canbus is an entire system and many modules are dependent on it. I don't think that's the move....

    High cambus?

    Start by checking the battery.

    Help to buy LR3 or RR Sport

    Thanks for clarifying....based on your statement I thought "...the V8" you were referencing was the V8 in the LR3.

    Help to buy LR3 or RR Sport

    RRS...not a fan of the V6 and the "base" model I think means no air suspension. Alldazed is incorrect about timing chains being an issue in the V8. He/she is thinking of the 5L V8 in the LR4 perhaps. The 4.4L in the LR3 is bulletproof. The V6, not so sure.....

    ABS Kicks on when turning left under braking

    How bad must the wheel bearing be to cause this? I had a bad rear left bearing that sounded like a Cessna 172 above 30mph and it still didn't cause ABS issues.

    Nevermind...

    This is an LR3 forum; you will probably get better feedback from the Range Rover section. Our fuel doors don't lock. The LR3 also has a manual keyhole "just in case."

    2005 LR3 oddities

    Only time that has happened to me, well.....a few times on two different LR3s, is when I foolishly plugged the IIDTool in while the engine was running AND the battery was weak.

    Start with ensuring you have a strong battery.

    "truck was in on position..." does that mean the engine was running?

    2005 LR3 oddities

    Can't hurt....and if your old one isn't bad (no signs of scoring or burn marks from electrical arcing, no broken contacts) then keep it as a spare.

    2005 LR3 oddities

    The brake switch is behind the physical brake pedal (stalk) and if it fails you'll see the BRAKE indication on, and you'll get a combo of HDC fault + Suspension fault and get dropped down to Access Height. Cycling the ignition usually makes it go away, but only temporarily. It's a very common...

    Usually "lost comm" faults can be ignored. Have you tried replacing the brake switch?

    Ahhhh so this is an answer to NOIR's question, not mine. Got it.

    software update

    So, you're saying that for older vehicles such as the LR3, disconnecting the battery for 20+ minutes....is a death sentence?

    software update

    Okay and how does one do that even? GAP tool?

    Disco3 windscreen washer fault

    Okay....lots to unpack here, but have you tried putting in a 20A fuse? At least here in the states that fuse was changed to 20 amps around 2014.

    What exactly does "reflashing a transmission" mean? Not being a smartass here....honest question.

    06' LR3 Christmas tree of fault lights HDC, Park brake, lowered suspension

    It isn't always the brake switch, and that fault looks like something different since the CEL is also on. It could be voltage related, water ingress related, etc. You need the fault codes.

    How long 2005 HSE will last?

    I thought so as soon as I saw the bit about timing chains...the 4.4L just doesn't have such issues. Best of luck to you, you'll want to post this in the RR section for better response/feedback.

    How long 2005 HSE will last?

    What model? This is an LR3 forum, but I have a feeling your vehicle is a Range Rover.

    E on dash and LR3 wont start all Errors flash up

    Have to ask....how is the battery?

    2005 LR3 oddities

    ...also if it's ALL your doors, it could be something more simple. You've seen that tool mentioned because it's probably the most important tool an LR3 owner can have in their toolbox.

    2005 LR3 oddities

    You should get an IIDTool from GAP Diagnostics. It will pay for itself instantly as you can program a key FOB with it. The door thing sounds like a bad lock actuator. I don't think the BRAKE indication and engine fault warning would be related.

    New guy, new LR3 owner with a question, please help!!!!!

    Sounds like an instrument cluster issue. I've read about this but have not encountered it myself (knock on wood). You can get them off ebay and install them with the GAP. I have heard that they have to have equal or greater mileage than what you currently show on the ODO; can't verify that...
