    Extended warranty

    You should definitely take the paperwork to your dealer service department and ask if they can work with it and if it looks good to them.

    Dashboard Cracks - Repaired

    Nasty. No pics needed. I'd live with a few irrelevant cracks or get a new part installed.

    Extended warranty

    Thinking you're saving somehow by agreeing to a $100, or especially $250, deductible is a bad plan. You're just adding at least $1000 to the deal, probably more. My ext warranty started at the end of factory and added 4 more years, up to 100,000 miles, paid $4500 at the time, full coverage of...

    Mysterious Hose to Nowhere

    Well, 'maybe' is a word people use differently. I'm not sure why you didn't show the bottom end of it but I told you what it was based solely on incomplete photos. Good luck on the next one.

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    Looking over their website, I'm not impressed when a business won't list their location anywhere. Pretty easy for these types to scam you or just flake out.

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    yeah, that's it. Thank you! Dealer said something like 300 or more ! Apparently there is no simple "just the switch" option out there. Going to pull the interior side plastic cover off to see if there's an easy solution like a bad connection.

    I don't have my disco II here but I could look under a disco 1. Actually, post it on the FB group land rover owners north america". that'll get the most d2 folks in shortest time

    Some suspension fault codes this morning

    This is so awesome ! ;) AMK is the newer compressor right? I'm certain that's what I have and am possibly on the 3rd in the vehicle since 2007 when it was probably the Hitachi ? All I know for sure is this one is the 2nd. I may get that line splice kit just to leave in the rear cubby with...

    Faults with new to me LR3

    Yes, however a passenger could make such changes. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Faults with new to me LR3

    How much have you used the bluetooth model? Can you do all of it's functions while rolling or does the vehicle still have to be stopped to actually do things like make adjustments or is it partial like changes you have to stop but checking codes maybe can be done while driving? The model I...

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    this lr3 upper hatch release button apparently does not exist though on the internet, not in a dealer parts diagram, not on AB, not amazon, despite the same kind of thing easily findable for the lr2 and range rover sport

    Mysterious Hose to Nowhere

    Well it also appears to START up top under the hood and the poster couldn't be bothered to show where it actually does start underneath LOL. Maybe a diff breather?

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    Update: upper and lower gate internals working fine however it seemed that the exterior "release button/switch" was not working anymore. No sound, no electrical impulse as fr as I could tell but then there was no way to know for sure it wasn't some other receiving part in the system. Lucky...

    Help fitting Terrafirma rock sliders

    They can actually recommend a coater I bet though I'll try to dig it up.

    Help fitting Terrafirma rock sliders

    Here's the deal. Powder coating is so cohesive, thick, and stiff that it kind of becomes it's own structural layer. It's fantastic for objects that don't really make much contact with other things such as architectural items like railings, public sculptures, industrial objects, etc, even...

    Help fitting Terrafirma rock sliders

    Sounds like a giant pain the ass plus you are not likely getting all surfaces so rust is happening and you just don't see it. too wet here to think otherwise. The finish, not sure what you mean, it looks exactly like black powdercoating except this one never starts to bubble, flake, etc. They...

    Help fitting Terrafirma rock sliders

    yes. well built but poorly finished, thus the strip and galvanize routine. Was entirely worth it though because since then, almost 10 years ago, they've been impervious to the elements despite scrapes and gouges getting past the coating. Powder-coating just steel can almost make it worse once...

    Chair Lift on LR3?

    So this place only has lifts for mini vans or what? Can he climb down into the chair if it's beside the vehicle? Unless the chair is too tall for the cargo area floor to ceiling, there should be a way to find one that works. Or, you have to get a van....

    Chair Lift on LR3?

    How and/or where would this lift mount or install into the vehicle? The weight of 550 is of no concern at all. The mobility place apparently isn't very good at due diligence or trying to help people. Even if you had it mounted way out on the hitch itself, it wouldn't be outside the vehicle...

    18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

    Of course it looks awesome though. So do tires too wide to tuck into the fenders but they don't work too well in practice. That 265/65-18 is the perfect no issues size so rods are not needed whatsoever.

    hitch storage location

    Yep. I have both. Sometimes the low one works better because it's pin point is further out. This is probably only an issue for me because I have the rear tire swing arm carrier and a trailer with fixed lowering crank can be too close. I like having choices!

    Help fitting Terrafirma rock sliders

    You have a lot going on with how those are not straight forward so I'm just going to reply in more of a stream of consciousness. Apologies if that's confusing.... Those body grommets are most likely very important to leave which keep water out of the cavity behind them. I would NOT remove...

    hitch storage location

    I think you are correct that in the early years you could get the parts but it may not have really even been a line item "option" for a build order. Mine is an HSE that I bought new in spring 2007 but at same time bought the quick release "receiver" (I wouldn't call it an "insert" LOL) and the...
