Problems With the LR3
I've had my '05 HSE since new and now at 110k miles. I had one occasion recently where the relay for the tailgate started lock/unlocking rhythmically even though the gate was closed. I ended up checking the latches on either side and the lock itself, clearing out the accumulated dust/grease gunk...- GrahamWelland

LR3 When it rains it pours inside
Apologies if this is a repeat of other posts but here are a few things to consider. 1) sunroof drains need to be clear because they block pretty easily eventually - sounds like you've had those blown clear 2) the ****** a the end of the drain tubes need modification to make sure that they do...- GrahamWelland

Cowl Trim replacement
I'm late to the party on this one but I too just had this replaced as part of an overall water ingress / sunroof drain fix update. Seems to be reasonably common issue as the vehicle ages. Mine is a 2005 LR3 HSE that has lived it's entire life with me in the Pacific NorthWET. My roof drain only...- GrahamWelland

Suggested LR3 Mods??
I was thinking that I needed to take a break from the laptop when I started seeing those fuzzy images - now I'm relieved that it's not me but PhotoBucket. :hello:- GrahamWelland

Using your LR3 for sales calls
On the few occasions where I visit a local client and drive my own vehicle I just expense the mileage at the national rate. We use $0.55/mile regardless of vehicle, be that an LR3 or a Smart Car.- GrahamWelland

I'm selling the Coiler
That's why friends don't let friends drive toy cars ... I had a similar experience when a Ford Escape rear ended my LR3 a while ago. Cost me a new rear bumper but the Escape needed a complete new front end.- GrahamWelland

Suspension fault and flat tires
Did the fault go away after the new tyre was fitted? One thing to watch for is that the suspension sensor wiring is up inside the wheel arch (front at least) and could have been hit by the deflated tyre?- GrahamWelland

OEM Brush Bar w/ Winch
The tyres are Nitto Grapplers 285/60/18. They don't rub at all in normal use. The only time I have had an issue is when reversing with full lock which is enough for the front driver side tyre to rub against the suspension sensor wiring harness and you can easily break this. I had to have the...- GrahamWelland

OEM Brush Bar w/ Winch
They look likie RS Sliders. I have the same one's on my LR3. Here's another view of the winch/bars. RS Sliders (now replace the original LR side protection bars):- GrahamWelland

Side Protection Tubes
Check out yourself: Rover Specialties. Adam at OffRoving is probably your man to chase up on RR/RRS availability. Nice folks to deal with.- GrahamWelland

Side Protection Tubes
Here you go. Totally gnarly off road shot in the Starbucks parking lot. It's good to keep up the LR3 Chelsea Tractor appearances. (Brit's will understand that ...). Excuse the dirty wheels - new brakes and still breaking in. :hello:- GrahamWelland

Side Protection Tubes
But I still think that you clean the bottom of your LR3 with a toothbrush ... :wink: The shots of your sliders and underside of your rig were obscenely clean!- GrahamWelland

Side Protection Tubes
My sliders were fitted a couple of weeks ago and I can vouch for the fact that they are: 1) VERY heavy - I had them shipped directly to my techs. 2) VERY solid. 3) not quite as simple as the instructions would suggest to fit. They're hand made and so some 'adjustment' was required to fit them...- GrahamWelland
