LR3 HSE Oil Pan Gasket
After looking at the diagrams in the pdf's a little closer, you appear to be right. I was hoping to be able to maybe just snake a new gasket in there, but with the oil feed tube extending all the way up top like that, it doesn't look feasible. I may just get a hold of them over there, I... -

LR3 HSE Oil Pan Gasket
So it turns out I was a little over 2 liters short. All that time assuming it was my engine oil dripping and just increasing the frequency of oil changes could have really cost me. The transmission is so much smoother now, its amazing what being full of fluid can do. I had let some of the old... -

LR3 HSE Oil Pan Gasket
So apparently, I am an idiot. But a fortunate idiot. The leak is coming from the front passenger corner of the transmission pan. In my blind anger at the leak, and based on the fact that I had no idea of how a structural sump pan was affixed to an engine block, I assumed based on what I was... -

LR3 HSE Oil Pan Gasket
There haven't been any posts I can find either, that's kind of whats been scaring me lol. I'm pretty convinced that it is leaking from the seam, although I'm really hoping is coming from pretty much anywhere else. I'm going to crawl under there tomorrow and take some pictures to post here... -

LR3 HSE Oil Pan Gasket
Sigh. Thank you very much for the reply. I guess I need to get under there and see if I can confirm exactly where this leak is coming from before I commit myself to this job. I am reasonably confident that it is a break in the silicone gasket material on that corner of the sump pan. If I'm... -

LR3 HSE Oil Pan Gasket
I found a pdf of the removal of the oil pan....apparently the oil cooler, front engine cover, front differential, axle assembly, steering rack, and generator need to be removed, and a wheel alignment is required after reassembly.....to replace an OIL PAN GASKET. Who designs these cars?! This is... -

LR3 HSE Oil Pan Gasket
Hi all, So Ive noticed a small puddle of oil appearing under the lr3 every once in a while, and finally decided to pull the skid plates off to have a look. It appears to be leaking from the corner of the oil pan, passenger side front corner. Everything else appears to be dry. I popped in to... -

Rear wiper issues, any thoughts?
So I finally decided to get back into this after doing a trailer wiring harness today, and I cant seem to get the trim off the inside of the rear access door... Weather stripping, no problem. The few push clips, easy. Screw under the handle, check. The thing is still on there like its welded... -

Rear wiper issues, any thoughts?
Im going to pull mine apart this weekend and have a look at it, the rear cover of the tailgate seems to pop off easily enough. I was on the highway for a long rd trip through the mountains, and I really took the function of that rear wiper for granted... -

Rear wiper issues, any thoughts?
So I've been having some troubles with my rear wiper on the tailgate. From starting position (horizontal across the base of the rear window) to finish position (vertical on the left side of the rear window) it works perfectly. Good contact, smooth rate of travel, no noises or drama. But then... -
