LR3 Driving Lights Died
Yesterday evening I turned on the driving / fog lights. They came on for a moment and then both went out. Now they do not work at all. I've turned them on and off numerous time with no luck whatsoever. Thoughts on where I start the troubleshooting? I suppose the fuse as it would be very... -

Windshield issues
I have this feature on my LR3. Love it, used to it and dont even notice anymore. I have noticed that when someone brings it up or I think about it, the lines become much more obvious for a while..... -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Well I ended up going to the dealer. The Langley guy was great but he was only $200 cheaper. Dealer diagnosed the ball joint as well. Yes only a $49 part but the labour is high AND there is a chance other parts of the control arm bushings could fail so I opted for an entire assembly. $800 for... -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Lml Hey Zulu, yes from the LML....drive the sea to sky a ton and like taking the LR3. You in the area? I am off warranty and just found a Rover mechanic in Langley that the truck is going into. I hope it is a $40 part and less than $800. That would be a pleasant surprise. -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Mystery solved So it ends up not being my driving, nor the car's antilock antiroll etc....guess what it was....a lovely failed part (another). Lower passenger ball joint is gone...now clunks over curbs and makes the ABS come on on any tight outside corner. Oh the joys of being off warranty. Im... -

Sporadic air bag warning light
I have the same thing. Airbag light comes on and stays on until vehicle is turned off. Then sometimes it goes off...or not. Driving me nuts! Had it into the dealer 3 times and they replaced the seat belt tensioner sensor. Made no difference. Just off warranty so I am taking it back and... -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Ok.....point taken that it is most likely stability control Kicking in. Just very strange that it only is on one side of the vehicle. It definitely caused me to feel a loss of control which is kinda the opposite of what DSC should do. I'll have the sensors checked. -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Thanks for the replies. No DSC light came on and it only happened on the one side...turning the other way was fine at the same speed. The brakes are brand new...new rotors on the front but I didnt replace the back...looked ok and brake place said it would be ok but the pads would take time to... -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Well I thought the same and I did check the pressures. All seemed well and the TPMS was not alerting either. I did have one tire patched due to a nail a few weeks back....I wonder if a sidewall can get weakened...I thought tire problems are pretty black and white, either good or complete... -

Weird cornering performance - Help
Took the family on a roadtrip to Whistler. Rig was driving fine for most of the way. The road is very windy and at speed...approx 60MPH, when I turned right....felt like the abs or traction control kicked in on one wheel or maybe both on that side AND the truck felt sloppy and "dove" a bit into... -

Sidewall Punture Advice - Really...a new tire?

I also found out my full size spare didnt have TPS...sigh now I got one tire on teh rig with no... -

Removing a stuck hitch receiver?
One more gripe on the hitch....the stupid little fold down keys are RIDICULOUS. Broke one today! Not sure if the key cutter can do a new one but I am going to find out. -

Sidewall Punture Advice - Really...a new tire?
So I got a small screw in the side of my LR3's relatively new Avon 18" rear tire. I plugged it and had a shop patch the inside but they advised my it could "blow any time" as the sidewall area goes through a lot of flex. The hole was pretty small and the patch was pretty big from what I saw but... -

Warranty just expired - big thanks to everyone on this forum!!
Advice on taking it in as well. Make stuff up :-). Not to be dishonest but just to ensure you get a thorough review. And use the list above...I did. I complained about "road noise"....."steering feel"....."strange rattle" from the backend. All very generic but they checked it over thoroughly... -

W T F is this?
That's awesome. I'm getting one but I am hooking it up to my air suspension instead. I bet it gives me 2" more of lift!! :tongue: -

Warranty just expired - big thanks to everyone on this forum!!
Hi yeah.... the alignment was part of the tie rod replacement otherwise it would not have been covered. For the rear differential I complained of a hollow or light ringing noise...which I actually thought might be a bearing starting to go. Instead they advised it was the rear diff and that... -

turning off daytime bi-xenons / on board computer ecu
I also have a 2006 LR3 imported into Canada. Took the dealer about 2.5 minutes to enable DRL. I would suspect just as easy to disable. Anyone know if the fog lights can be configured as the DRL as to not stress out my Xenons? That is how my Audi is setup. -

The 2009 LR3
New Style - Bonus for me! All I have to say is GREAT. Now I can make my 06 look like an 09 with about $500 to my local body/paint shop. Just saved about $15K :-) -

Kuhmo and Avon tires- How are they holding up?
Avons I have been running the Avons for about 10K. and they are wearing great. Just went through some serious weather here in Vancouver with lots of snow and didnt get stuck once. They perform good in the rain as well. They are wearing evenly and appear to be good rubber compound as they are... -

Front headlamp unit bulb replacement...
I recently grappled with my Audi A4 Cab turn signal bulb in a similiar fashion. After reading your post and going through the Audi experience I am definitely leaving this one to the Dealer for our LR3. Even an $80 charge would be better than the alternative damage. My best intentions of "simple"... -

Anyone have experience with Saab?
I've had family friends that have driven Saab for years and swears by them. From my perspective you get a lot of bang for the buck in terms of styling and performance. You do however have to put up with a bit of a quirky niche vehicle aka more shop time and warranty work...but heck if you have...
