sunroof rattling
I have an 06 and the sunroof rattled when cold only- I was told that there was a problem with the glass itself. The dealer told me it is a laminated glass and it separated and the glass would vibrate when it was cold. If f it was warm the glass would expand slightly and there was no rattle. They... -

Driver Seat Lumbar
I have an 06 LR3 with the manual lumnbar adjustment which has been checked and is working properly. My problem is that even with it backed off all the way I still have too much lumbar in the lower back. It gets me about belt height and after a while my lower back gets very sore. Has anyone else... -

Slipping out of gear
I have been having a similar sounding problem with my 06 LR3. It happens when a slow down at a turn also. It seems to be searching for a gear and the tach goes up almost like the transmission is slipping. It doesn't slam into a gear or anything it just seems to rev up a bit and then off you go... -

Land Rover Service is outrageous.
gmoney and Houm what you are describing possibly could be the steering knock problem that there is a TSB out on. I had a copy of the TSB and it states the following. Steering Column Knock – Repair Procedure AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE: LR3 (LA) VIN: 5A000360 - 8A444606 Model Year: 2005 -... -

Tire alignment
I just put new tires on my 06 and also had an alignment at the dealer. My cost was 190.00 and well worth it. We just took it on a trip and drives great. Better than when it was new. -

Kuhmo and Avon tires- How are they holding up?
drzjoint - have the Avons worn well for you? My driving is mostly city and up to the lake cabin, towing the boat and some dirt and gravel roads and snow so I don't feel the need to spend a whole lot on a real aggressive tire, but I am looking for something that will wear better than the... -

Kuhmo and Avon tires- How are they holding up?
I'm looking for new tires for my 2006 LR3 and am wondering how the Kuhmo's and Avons are working for people as far as life of the tires. Has anyone put on 15-20,000 miles on a set and how are they. I see Tirerack has been running a special on the Avons for 99 dollars each. Any info would be... -

Uneven ride height
update after the dealer visit I had the LR3 in for its 37,500 mile service and discussed the uneven ride height with the service advisor. They checked the system and did a recalibration of the suspension and now the right height is exactly the same on both sides. No more leaning to the right... -

Uneven ride height
HOUM_WA, In respone to your earlier post -- I can really tell there is a tilt which is why I brought out the ol' tape to confirm it. The lean is "noticable" as when I am driving I end up sliding up against the seat bolster on my right. After a while you notice this as you are correcting your... -

Uneven ride height
Thanks Dorsett for the infomation. I think i will still bring it up to the dealer at my next service check and see if they have the same opinion. Any ill effects from it tilting or is it just an annoyance? -

When I measure to the top of the rear wheel opening I get 34 inches on the driver side and 33 inches...
