The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?
I've had the Dunlop SP Sport Signatures on for about a month now. They have a very aggressive deep tread, but they ride quiet and smooth. I have one big complaint about them so far, however. My mileage dropped by about 1.5-2 mpg with them! The rolling resistance is very high, and I can tell... -
The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?
Well the ATR's are on national backorder, indefinitely. I checked a second source and they said the same thing. So those are out. I've decided to go with the Dunlop SP Sport Signature tires due to availability and a decent price. I'm a bit nervous as they are termed "high performance", as... -
The annual 19 inch tire question! Whattya got? Whattya like?
Sorry to bump and oldish thread, but it's now my turn for a new set of 19" tires for my '05 LR3 HSE. I've gotten about 45K miles on my synchrones, which sounds about average from what I've read from others on here. Tire wear is very uneven though with the fronts wearing on the insides, to the... -
Cool feature - auto horn in emergency braking
It is possible that my hand slipped and was resting on the horn, but I didn't think so. Everything happened so fast, that anything's possible... -
Cool feature - auto horn in emergency braking
I had a near miss this morning when a deer ran right out in front of me, and I had to slam the brakes (and I mean SLAM!) and swerve, in wet conditions, going about 45MPH to avoid collision. What I didn't realize was that the horn automatically sounds during very hard braking! (at least I think... -
Transmission problem
I'm also out of warranty and get this problem too (although not as bad as the first poster). So you guys think this is something they would do for free, even if it's out of warranty? I don't even know if it's ever been done, as I'm not the original owner. -
Looking for a Roof Rack for my '07 LR3, need direction
I'm always looking for nice racks too. Oh wait, never mind....:tongue: -
Bike Rack for Tow Hitch
Yeah I didn't even realize I had one until after I had bought the vehicle and the hitch receiver was in the rear floor compartment (I don't have the third row seats, and yes that's where it's stored). -
Dual battery setup...
Sorry for the ignorant question, but what's the purpose of having dual batteries? -
Never Coming Back Again
I also have a 2005 LR3, as the original poster. Over 55K miles and no battery problems or anything else of note. -
LR3 hitch height
I tow a 6500 lb boat and I use a 2 1/2" rise ball mount, which I think is about a 4" drop if turned over. This is a heavy-duty one-piece (not welded) hitch that is rated for something like 12,000 lbs (I don't have it here in front of me). The manual does state that you should not exceed a... -
Paint protection while offroading
To the original poster, I find that branch scratches down the side aren't nearly as bad as they first look. Use the 3 step Meguiars treatment (Deep Crystal System Paint cleaner, Deep Crystal system Polish and then wax) and you'll probably won't be able to see anything except if you look really... -
New Nav Disc
I thought in '05 it was under the passenger seat, but I may be wrong. -
Does your dealer tell you NOT to Rotate your tires?
Even with AWD fronts will generally wear faster than rears due to steering. And because of AWD a lot of times you will have to replace all 4 tires, even if only 2 are really worn. Because of this, I frequently rotate my tires front to rear. These tires are expensive enough already! -
Transmission jerking?
Chuckie? You must be referring to the Heat Miser avatar above? -
How to reset the oil change message?
Well, I tried it every way I could think, and it didn't work. I then came acroos this at Edmunds: * Press and hold the trip reset button. * Turn the igntion to position II * The display should flash SERVICE for 5 seconds and then display SERVICE constantly. * Release the reset button with... -
How to reset the oil change message?
Alright, I googled around and found this pdf file with instructions for many cars: https://uascentral.uas.alaska.edu/onlinelib/Fall-2007/AUTO227-J01/Oil_Change_Light_Reset.pdf Here's what it says about the LR3: "LR3 2005-2006 - Press and hold button at the end of the turn signal. Turn... -
How to reset the oil change message?
I just had my first oil change done post the "free" ones performed during warranty. I didn't take it to Land Rover, but just to a shop who I've been using for 15 years or so and trust. My question is, does anyone know how to reset the "oil change service" message on the dash display that shows... -
Should I switch to synthetic oil?
The other reason for me is that I'm lazy! If I were using conventional oil then I'd want to change the oil every 3,500 miles. With synthetic I feel safe going twice that. Since sythetic is about twice the price of conventional (the gap narrows as dino oil gets more expensive!), then the cost... -
LR3 Tailgate Mat
Good idea. I have a son in baseball, and we always get him out of his cleats on the tailgate (which is messy), and I'd love to have a rubber mat there. So if anyone has a source, let us know! -
Should I switch to synthetic oil?
Well I switched over to full synthetic, and so far everything is fine (only about 200 miles now, though). I have no idea why any manufacturer would be against this, except in the break-in period. For break-in, synthetic is actually too "slippery" and doesn't let the cylinders set in correctly... -
Removing LR3 badges
The rear looks really nice! However I personally love my Land Rover lettering on the front - as it's unique - and I could never get rid of that. But other that that, very nice work!!! -
Lost between the seats!
YES! I have had this same problem. It is very difficult to get things that drop in the space between the driver's seat and the console. I dropped some french fries recently, and I had to get out my needle nose plyers to get them out. Moral of the story: don't eat Mc D's while trying to... -
Should I switch to synthetic oil?
Good, you guys confirmed my plans. I'll be switching to synthetic today. -
Should I switch to synthetic oil?
Just about to have the first oil change done post-warranty (52K miles). I'm just wondering if I should use synthetic oil instead of conventional. Any thoughts? I've always used sythetic in the past, but that's because the vehicles I had previously required synthetic.
