2006-2007 GPS DVD Update - 1791 Hack Found
FYI, I got the nav disc "backup" to work on a Verbatim DVD+R DL disc. I did have some problems, however, resulting in a few coasters. I used PowerISO to rip the ISO from the new nav disc, then removed the LOADING.KWI file, and saved the new ISO file. When it came to burning, however, I could... -

If you were to sell your LR3 what would you get if...
Perhaps you got some dirt stuck in your eyes :confused: , did I insult the off-road capability of the LR3? There are more reasons to buy an LR3 than just off-roading capability. I have taken the LR3 off-road several times (and I agree, it's highly impressive!), but not often enough to be a... -

I'm pretty sure I'll trade my LR3 for a BMW X5 3.0sd (twin turbo diesel) next year, rumors suggest it'll make it to the US. -

tire rotation on all-wheel-drive vehicles
I guess I left out what I did with the rears...I simply swapped the LF and RR, and then swapped the RF and LR. All tires are now on the opposite side of the car, rotating reverse from what they were, to counteract the feathering/cupping on the inner and outer tread blocks. Since my tread was... -

tire rotation on all-wheel-drive vehicles
If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Given your observations, I would rotate your tires, but I wouldn't bother with an alignment. If you are getting even wear, don't mess with it. I must also be one of the lucky ones, my LR3 tracks well on the road and tire wear is even across the tire tread, and... -

2006-2007 GPS DVD Update - 1791 Hack Found
Are there any known improvements with the new firmware (contained in the LOADING.KWI file)? As discussed, the obviously negative is the removal of the 1791 hack. Great job finding this new hack, BTW! -

tire rotation on all-wheel-drive vehicles
Tire rotation on AWD vehicles is a good idea, and certainly not a problem if they are the same size. The front tires will wear faster, since they handle accel and decel, AND they handle the steering duties. My stock Goodyears are wearing quite nicely, considering all the bad reports on here... -

Trailer Towing With A Friction Sway Control Vs WDH
While I've never towed with my LR3, or with any other vehicle with air suspension, I do have a lot of experience towing various sized trailers on a Chevy 2500HD with and without a WDH. And, as being a engineer, my thoughts are these: 1. I can't imagine that the air suspension is the... -

Different Rims for the LR3...
Here are some wheels that are marketed specifically for the Land Rovers, made by TSW. I plan to get the 20" Dukes in silver when I wear out my stock tires. One time I stopped by my local dealer, and they had a set of 19" Dukes in chrome on an LR3 in the showroom. I didn't care for the chrome... -

Tire Rotation
I just had the dealer rotate my tires for the first time at the 22,500mi service. When I requested it, I was surprised when they told me that they do not recommend rotating tires on the LR3. I must admit, the tire wear has been pretty even across the tread of each tire, except that there is...
