Storage Mod
So as the screw jack is basically not usable for jacking up a slightly raised LR, I removed the Styrofoam tool organizer and placed some Kaizen foam in place of it. Stored the new hydraulic jack in the small rear cubby hole at the rear quarter panel and placed two layers of 30mm foam in it. I... -
2006 LR3 aftermarket radio
Thx I think I will try to squeeze one in within the bounds of the cubby on top. Someone on another forum sells the fascia to replace the D3. I want to say that it is a custom mount using a D4 fascia. I know an iPad mini fits just right, so I will need to find something with that footprint as I... -
Air suspension shock replacement
The Center valve is between the compressor cover and the reservoir. Just follow the air lines, its attached to the inside of the frame just forward of the compressor. -
2006 LR3 aftermarket radio
I am thinking about adding a tablet to the SE when the little storage place is on the top of the dash, but I'd hate to loose that storage spot. Illegibly you can plug in to the aux plug for sound. A nexus 7 has been used but I can't figure out if the GPS is on board the nexus 7 or I would have... -
2006 LR3 air conditioning not cooling
Thought mine was screwed then realized I had turned off the re circulation switch in the vehicle. LOL all the buttons and whistles have to be in the correct position to work I guess, lol also the ECON button means turn the AC off, LOL. One thing the land rover is not is ECONOMY anything. -
various enhancement
Is the compressor for the suspension or for airing up tires, etc.? -
Air suspension shock replacement
The center valve is the easiest to rebuild. Stay with Arnott or OEM shocks, "Buy once cray once". I would get the valve kit o rings and do all the valves, front and center anyway the rear can be a pain due to no room, but I did mine with minimum cursing. I had a front right leaking shock that... -
To buy or not to buy...
I feel pretty good with my 2005 LR3 with 115K price was $5,500, makes that $K I spent on shocks feel better. -
Air suspension shock replacement
Didn't read all of the threads but if suspecting a mechanical failure of a shock or shocks, Use the suspension height to go back and forth from access to off road a couple cycles, Then leave truck at rest at Normal height and pull #3 fuse, a 5 amp fuse in the engine bay fuse box. This fuse... -
Speaker wire info
@remember5 Like the stereo replacement, one day when $$ is right I want to do this. Right now using the little 2 x 3 " sat radio via aux, which limits Metalica to only 80 decibels. Nav screen would be great as well, tired of the phone falling off the windsheild holder when I go romping. -

@bonz, on the BT transmitter, There is a company in Florida that makes a BT unit that goes in the panel at the rear of the console. Think it was $160. It also has a aux port built in and is an exact replacement for that panel. the unit uses the factory plug at that panel to power the BT and mine... -

Air suspension shock replacement
Just finished replacing my struts. at $239/air bag and only another $50 or so I would get the struts and did. Only pain in the **** was putting the airlines back on in the limited space. -
Air suspension shock replacement
Check Rockauto.com, Arnotts are carried by them and I think they were cheaper than $450.00 for rears if you go that route. -
Fuel Filter Replacement
Getting ready to do a B44 fuel system additive clean on my truck and was wondering, cause I've heard you might want to change the fuel filter after that. Not sure why this would be needed on this in tank filter type, which from the workshop manual sounds like just a little more than a screen...
