Some key fob help...
Changing out the battery in a key fob is the easy part provided you can solder and desolder, the battery costs 8 bucks on ebay....I think it was a panasonic battery. The hardest part about it was getting the damn thing apart so you can get inside. The key fobs are sealed tight so that if you... -
whats your favorite exterior color for LR3?
When I shopped around for mine I specifically went for the Java Black that way my fenders would match the car but I do like the Chawton white but it wasn't big with the wife so I drive a black one. I personally like the dark grey one can't remember the official name though. -
