    05 LR3 suspension issue

    Update to my suspension issue and perhaps benefit to others-- My suspension issues were due to a failing alternator. While it wasn't bad enough to trigger the warning lamp, it was just enough to cause the intermittent suspenion faults and the vehicle to not level itself properly. perhaps...

    Hello everyone I have started receiving random (and now daily) suspension faults and it states that normal height only and I do not notice it lowering when the faults occur. I live 2+ hours from dealer so I had my local machanic look at it and unfortuneatly his scanner only shows 5 digits...

    Guess how much my dealer charges for tie-rods?

    OUCH! I just replaced my battery today with the 85 month interstate battery for $158.00. also my dealer was in line with Atlantic British with the bushings EXCEPT the lower and the dealer wanted 4 times the amount for that specific bushing which is the main failure one. I suggest looking...

    whats your favorite exterior color for LR3?

    Tonga Green is my personal favorite. While there are several other colors I would consider, the tan interior is a must for me!

    Cowl Trim replacement/trouble shooting

    Hi Guys. I recently replaced my cowl and followed the directions from a fellow member that was posted here and seemed to be an easy job (thanks for the instructions). Anyway, now that it's completed, when passing another car or even sitting at a traffic light, I can hear the vehicle next to me...

    Loss of all radio control!

    Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation?

    The type of extension/rise that I have is http://www.blueox.us/accessories/droprcvrs.htm I have actually seen some extensions that are hinged so to flex should it drag, but depending on what you are hauling may damage the back of the LR3 should it bend/flex too much. You'll be surprised how...

    Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation?

    I have a UWS carrier (united welding services ) and Thule has partnered with them. Anyway, I have one of their cargo carriers and have been extremely happy with it. It is aluminum so very light weight, but carries 500 lbs. I also have a blue ox extension with a 6 inch to raise it so that the...

    First problem: A/C cuts out while idling or moving slowly

    I've started experiencing the same problem over the last couple of weeks. It's been much warmer than normal so I've used the ac more and I have a similar problem. I haven't had it checked out, but what I am noticing is that my LR3 is idling lower (less than 1k rpm) when at a traffic light...

    Radio Issue

    yes, the radio would turn on and function normally except there wasn't any sound. The sound would eventually return, but would happen randomly. I'll look for the service docs and see if there's anything that may be of help.

    Radio Issue

    I've had the same issue with my 05 SE7 and it wasn't battery related. Dealer determined the radio unit was defective and replaced it. I had that problem a second time several months later and they replaced it once again. It would start working after a few restarts, but would continue acting...

    Fading Plastic

    The kiwi is a liquid dye not a paste and it works well. I've used it on my golf car and jet skis and it works great and very durable.

    Fading Plastic

    strange enough, but i use black kiwi leather scuff cover for shoes on my mud flaps (factory) and other black plastic and it works great. I only have to use it 2 maybe 3 times a year and it holds up great and it's quick. A buddy of mine put it on his faded black plastic panels of his avalanche...

    LR3 Sun Shade

    I've had that problem several times and the dealer replaces the "latch" very common they told me. NOW if someone would be so kind as to tell me how to stop them from rattling (without removing them permanently) . Dealer will stop the rattling for a short time, but it always comes back. Thanks...

    Thule Terrapin - Hitch mounted cargo box

    I have a cargo carrier and had to get a 6 inch rise extension from blue ox because without it, you'd drag it on a curb pulling into a driveway much less off-roading. It works great for trailer towing as well.
