LR3 Rear Window Support Arms
I would hardly call this a safety issue worthy of a recall on a 17 year old vehicle. Even one rear gas strut working should have resulted in a 'controlled' descent rather than a 'crashing down'. I replace the hood and tailgate struts probably around every 10 years when they no longer positively... -
Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)
I messaged EUROAMP asking if they planned to do the LR4 naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 and this is what they replied: Hi Robert, We would like to, but the mold for that pipe is very hard to make since everything is one piece. There seems to be a lot more demand than expected, so we may develop... -
K&N air filter?
I have K&N air filters in both my LR3 and LR4. No issues. These are the oil-less variety so no issues with oil fouling the MAF. For what it's worth, they sound better at full throttle :). Would I buy them again - doubtful, just because of the overall concerns with the finickyness of these... -

Timing Chain replacement
I'm getting to the same point. Any comments on what I should expect to pay for the timing chain guide replacement and new coolant crossover pipes. Independent shop not a dealer. Thanks -
Iland diagnostic tool Errors (10) AutoZone OS601 OBDII/EOBD (0)
I agree. I have the iLand and it always reports a bunch of codes, usually 'historic' that aren't serious or current enough to warrant the Rover reporting anything on the dash.- rjowenusa

How to add Bluetooth, etc., to 2006 LR3 HSE
Sorry, I misnamed it. It's an Echo Auto, not an Amazon Auto., -
How to add Bluetooth, etc., to 2006 LR3 HSE
I'm not aware that there is more than one model/version? I have https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Auto--Hands-free-Alexa-in-your-car-with-your-phone/dp/B07VTK654B/ref=sr_1_3?crid=9LXR3Z70OTTP&keywords=amazon+auto&qid=1644853246&sprefix=amazon+auto%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-3 It's $19.99. Brilliant device... -
How to add Bluetooth, etc., to 2006 LR3 HSE
I use an Amazon Auto in my 2006 LR3. I mount it above the radio. I power it from a USB charger port that I put in place of the cigarette lighter. It plugs into the Aux audio socket behind the central cubby. Set the radio to Aux. You then have 'Alexa' and Bluetooth audio from your phone. Makes... -
LR4 Drivers Memory Seat 'access' mode
Brilliant. I'll check in the morning. Thank you. Now checked and it's exactly as you said. Staring me right in the face! Thank you very much. (you mention you looked it up - where? I looked in the owners manual in the memory seat section) -
LR4 Drivers Memory Seat 'access' mode
When I turn off my 'new' LR4 HSE Lux, the driver's seat moves down and back, I assume to allow easier access. Unfortunately it also crushes anything/anyone behind the driver's seat in the process. When the engine is re-started it moves back to the selected memory setting. Does anyone know a... -
park brake fault
Hello C. Can you provide more information? So the park brake fault is intermittent and when it is reported the car won't start? How do you resolve it to get the car to the dealers etc.? Does the fault only happen if you use the parking brake?- rjowenusa

How do you sit?
Interesting reading. I'm 6'2" with a longish torso (32" inseam). I have the seat quite high and about midway front/rear. If I stretch my head touches the roof and I have to duck to see traffic lights if I'm first in line. All that said I find the LR4 seat very comfortable. I had a D2 with a... -
Engine Dies at 70 MPH
Given it wouldn't crank until some time had passed, and then started fine, it's pretty much got to be electrical. As stated earlier, a faulty fuel pump wouldn't **** the engine dead and wouldn't stop it cranking as far as I know. I had a '99 Dodge Durango that would cut out in a very similar... -
Getting tires installed at Discount Tire - Lift Concerns?
There are a lot of 'scare' stories about airbags dropping etc. if the rover is lifted but its all misinformation. Many of us have wheels lose contact with the ground when off-roading and no ill comes of it (beyond scratches and dings lol). I've never seen any shop do anything special with my...
