Windscreen Vendors ?
For what it is worth, below are jpg's showing the branding of two of the three or four electrically heated windscreens I have had installed over the past twenty years. I have the HID headlights but they do not swivel and high beam selection is via the steering column stock, not automatic. The... -
Harsh ride, suspension issues ?.
Also there is something called the rear stabilizer bar that is "dynamic". This means it takes power steering fluid to make it do whatever it is supposed to; see 5:50 / 32:33 in the attached video.- bbyer

Harsh ride, suspension issues ?.
Along the same thinking as tyre pressure, can it just be what I presume are 22" rims or maybe even bigger? The FFRR is to my way of thinking not supposed to be race car, hence why anything bigger than 20" rims. Because the other guys do it is not the answer I am looking for, but might be the...- bbyer

Battery life
You are cheating. Yes, keeping the battery on a maintainer is an excellent way of keeping your battery good for a long time - my complements. I get maybe four years out of my Interstate H7 (fits easier) but only use a maintainer in the winter and not everyday - more like a week at a time. My... -
Battery life
Yes, per above replace the alternator. The link below has a couple of files within that discusse the charging system setup on my LR3. I expect there is not much difference between the 3 and 4 with regards to the electrical system. Well, I guess it did get even more fussy. In brief, the... -
Fluctuating RPM's at constant throttle (throttle hunting, surging, gear hunting)
You may wish to refer to my post #16 back in 2019 when I had 357,000 km on my 3; it now has 473,000 km (294,000 miles). I replaced the engine oil temperature sensor that is connected to the water temperature sensor that is connected to the computer that is connected to .... well you get the... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
Ice and snow plus potholes are my main concern re my grocery getter. Many years back, it switched out the factory 19" HSE rims for factory 18" Cromodora rims. I then installed 235 65 R18 tyres which gives me a narrower tread but taller rubber between the road and the rim. Other than stocking... -
Aux radio button kaput—stuck on SAT
I am assuming that it is a CD that is stuck in your HK 6CD-465 head unit? If so, about all I can suggest is the Eject Multiple Discs instructions on page 48 of the LR3 Audio System booklet per the attached pdf segment. -
Aux radio button kaput—stuck on SAT
I have not had your problem but since I have never used the aux channel ..... What I have had is the "no radio" just silence. For me, this often happens when the starting battery has been replaced and I start the engine for the first time after the install. No audio, but the display shows a... -
2005 HSE - Which fuse(s) disengage the touch screen?
It sounds like you have access to all the wiring diagrams so the files in the link below may be of no assistance but that would surprise me. The files relate to the entertainment, Bluetooth, Nav and fibre optic systems in my 2005 LR3. https://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=34462...- bbyer

05 LR3 transmission trouble
I noted the comment re the Transmission Control Module. Per the jpg's it is located on the firewall behind the engine starting battery. You will note the 3M black electrical tape I have wrapped around the two rubber cable guides. This is to reduce water ingress onto what is effectively a... -
05 LR3 transmission trouble
Yes, that is correct. The link below is to a number of files related to the brake light switch and how the brake light circuits are tied not only the bulbs but to the Hill Decent Control, (HDC), the ABS, and then the tranny as well as the cruise control - it never ends... -
05 LR3 transmission trouble
While not an apparent solution re this thread , for me, only in colder weather, I ended up replacing the oil temperature sensor located down near the oil filter on the 4.4L V8 of my LR3. The problem was the transmission hunting at low speed and it would go away once the engine etc had warmed up... -
Defender 130 is out!
The short answer is no. The question is why? In particular, why are the new versions smaller on the inside but larger on the outside? My only guess is something to do with unit body construction. I guess what annoys me so much is Toyota continues with body on frame vehicles - what do Toyota... -
Defender 130 is out!
I think it was the flat rear that sold me on the 3 - big on the inside; small on the outside. The new Defender seems to have it backward - maybe that is what happens when there is no frame under. The 3 even has three roof lights that the 130 now boasts of having. It is almost as if the design...
