    Slipping out of gear

    That sounds like a complicated way to park! I have just had a call that the problem was as expected, a corroded cable under the shifter, and that it is fixed. Chris

    Problems With the LR3

    I seem to have had all the usual suspects in my 2006 V6 with SE package. 1. Every error message imaginable from low battery voltage on startup, cured with a new battery. 2. The tires go down every winter if the ambient temperature is <-12C and need pumping up every two days - have to get them...

    Special Programs off

    Mine gave this and a variety of other errors on systems check at startup, always in cold weather but not in warm (cold means -25C where I am). The battery also went flat a couple of times, without anything being left on. It did this from new, and I was told it was due to taking lots of short...

Spoke to the dealer and they say there is a cable that bends and fatigues under the shifter that often causes this. So I...

    Slipping out of gear

    My 2006 LR3 automatic (sadly no manual here in Canada) has started slipping out of gear. Usually I take my foot off the gas to slow down at a turn, and on pressing again it revs the engine but it isn't in gear. If I take my foot off again and press again everything is OK. I never had the bad...
