Rear suspension bottoms out on dips
I would check the upper rear control arm bushings. Mine are worn and clunk going over bumps. -
5x120 Trailer Hubs! Where can I get them?
The LR wheels have a small lip on the inside of the center hole it can be removed and the wheels will mount on trailer hubs you can’t put the center caps on while the wheel is on the trailer but you can put them back on if it mounted to the LR after removing the lip. I ended up fabricating my... -
Towing Travel Trailer with 2005 LR3?
Here is the hitch I use. https://andersenhitches.com/Catalog/weight-distribution-kits.aspx I tow a bit bigger trailer than the one you are looking at. -
17Inch on LR3 (HSE V8)
You will have to swap the rotors and caliper carriers for the V6 ones. A 17” wheel won’t fit unless you do. -
Mattress Pad in the back - Recommendations?
The Big Agnes Hinman double wide might work for you. It is 50x78 self inflating and a r value around 6 I believe. Not super cheap though. We use ours with our sleeping bag often although never in the back of the LR. It is quite comfortable. -
A/C air flow
I don’t have this problem with my LR3 but do with my Ford f-450. The ac coils actually freeze the condensation in the air and plug the air flow across the coils. I have to turn the ac off and let the coils melt then the air will blow through. -
Mityvac...
You only get about half the oil out. The hose hits the pan before it drops down into the “sump pit”,for lack of a better term. -
Mityvac...
I tried it and no you can’t get all the oil out. The dipstick tube doesn’t enter the pan where you can get to the bottom of it. Also getting to the filter from the top side would be quite an ordeal. -
LR3 trailer plug lights flicker
The resistors in parallel with the lights work to let the LR3 know the trailer is there but depending on the lights they may still flicker. I went a step further with making a relay circuit to isolate the test signal from the actual turn/brake lights. It requires 2 relays and two resistors. You... -
LR3 trailer plug lights flicker
It didn’t work for me. I ordered that exact adapter. -
LR3 trailer plug lights flicker
There are resistors that you can install in parallel with the brake lights. Most auto parts stores carry them. -
LR3 trailer plug lights flicker
Are they LEDs? Your test probably is. LEDs don’t draw enough power for the trailer light test circuit on the LR3 to work properly. So the lights will flash with every pulse the LR3 sends out to see if a trailer is connected. -
Cloud of Smoke
I would check the intake and see if there is oil accumulated in there. Sounds like oil is collecting in there and accumulates when you turn the engine off. Then when you accelerate hard the first time it all gets sucked through and burned off. -
Faults with new to me LR3
Another reason for the iid tool from Gap Diagnostics. My guess is for what the dealer charges you you could have bought the tool. Got a bit better diagnostics than you had and done the calibrations with having to go anywhere. I have no affiliation with gap but the tool has saved me thousands of... -
2005 LR3 V6 intermittent starting problem.
Check this thread out very similar to your problem. Fixed with an ecu reflash. https://www.landroversonly.com/threads/engine-immobilized-not-recognizing-key-fob.54318/
