Bumping/Rattling while applying breaks down hill
Not sure about the ABS...I do know that pulling into my driveway, as the front tires hit the little incline to the garage, it makes the same sound (but not continuous like while breaking downhill) Wonder if it could be something funny with the front drivetrain, or even just the front wheels...- BlackRover

Bumping/Rattling while applying breaks down hill
Just moved across country from the flat desert with my 05 LR3 (75k). Do not know if this is an existing problem, or if it just started...as I never had any hills to drive on in the desert. When I am driving down a rather steep hill, I apply the breaks lightly and I hear some sort of Bumping or...- BlackRover

Ok, I know just about everything there is to know about these leak issues now. lol I've reshaped the cowl piece to the windshield with a heat gun and added some weather stripping for good measure.

Hello LR owners. Potential owner here
If you are looking for a commuter vehicle I would advise aginst it. Gas milage will eat you alive, as well as wear and tear of city driving. I have an 05 LR3 and I love it...I bought it for backbacking trips and rock climbing ventures that are quite off the trail. Its a great suv, but just...- BlackRover

How to break into an LR3
Just wanted to pop up an old thread...I have a sand casted mold of my key...works great! You can go to any fabrication shop and get one made for around $70-$100. You could also get a CNC milled one if you have good connections in the machining industry.- BlackRover
