    Ash Tray Won't Close...

    I have this issue - it's stuck out and I don't want to pull the console out to fix it so there it sits to annoy me. I had the same issue with the passenger cup holder. I pulled the unit out and there's a circular coil that popped out of its housing. I am guessing it might be a similar setup.

    Banging Slipping feel & noise!

    There is also a process to reset the computer that automatically adjusts to your driving style. It's described in threads here, but off the top of my head you have the car shut off, turn the key to the second setting, floor the gas for 10 seconds or so then let the car sit shut off for a couple...

    Alarm going off

    Gents: Update on my end. Replacing my battery last fall temporarily stopped the random alarm issue. It started back up again and has now been fixed with the aluminum foil in the circuit, shown with pictures on the first couple of pages. Only a few days since fix but no alarm since then. Note...

    Check brake pads error

    06 LR3 108k miles. The check brake pad warning started randomly popping on about a week ago. Some days I drive it and doesn't come on, other times it'll beep/display literally 30 times during a 15 minute ride, going away after each beep. Sometimes it is only the display that says 'check brake...

    Parking Brake Horror Story

    My EPB went at about 80k miles. The sound you're describing is discussed in other threads here - it's a 'howling' sound. Look at the bright side, you should be good for a long while with the new module and components. Like todd, I only occasionally use my EBP now - I don't want another $1200+ bill.

    Is the Days to Service indicator reliable?

    Update: 1 attempt at the tire place and 2 attempts at the auto store and none of their diagnostic tools did the trick. Gave up and forked over $60 to the dealer.

    Is the Days to Service indicator reliable?

    I got new tires installed this weekend (General Grabber AT2-nice!) and asked the shop to clear my service indicator with their diagnostic tool. I watched them do it, and the indicator cleared but came back on the next time I started the car. Is there a special trick to clearing this or do I need...

    Alarm going off

    Funny how things work out. I've been having this problem recently and didn't read up on it here. When I first got my 06, I was getting random errors on the dash and the solution was to replace the battery. Fast forward a few years and the alarm kept randomly going off, which I attributed to the...

    Is the Days to Service indicator reliable?

    I have had the same countdown clock running down the days for the last month. I'm at 2006 / 106k miles. I've youtubed how to reset it, some show steps to follow for a reset, some say it requires a dealer. The steps do not work in my case. Has anyone done this without going to the dealer or...

    Sluggish transmission, multiple code errors

    I didn't have the random shifting issue, but to Houm's point at 97k the gasket around my transmission sleeve started leaking. I had the gasket replaced and the tranny pan/filter assembly replaced, around $400 or so total. (Indie and cash not credit)
