    Purchasing 2007 LR3 HSE Warranty Advice Please

    Always smart to have it inspected by a mechanic! As for oil change: Sure, they're relatively inexpensive and it's good peace of mind. Without knowing how long ago since the last oil change in your rig, I tend to think oil changes are overrated. A high quality, full synthetic oil and filter...

    Long term effects of bad rear diff?

    Hi forum, The rear diff on my 08 LR3 is fading, which is now confirmed by two different indie shops. :argh: Actually called LR North America to hear if they wanted to help me out with a repair, but they said the failing diff had to be confirmed also by a certified LR dealer. Which I guess...

    Purchasing 2007 LR3 HSE Warranty Advice Please

    Hi, You've probably decided by now - what was your decision!? :smile: When I decided I wanted an LR3, I also considered buying from a dealer in order to get an extended warranty policy. Found a 2007 SE at a Ford dealer, but they wanted $4200 for the policy. No brainer- didn't do it. I...

    LR3 Navigation Issues. Help!!

    Update: Bought a used navigation unit off eBay, swapped it with the old one, and voila - navigation back to normal. The seller forgot to take out the navigation disc, so I ended up with a newer map than my old one. Score!! :biggrin: Now, for how long will it work? Don't know. But the...

    LR3 Navigation Issues. Help!!

    Too bad. I haven't doing as extensive research as you, with connecting new grounds and 12v constant, but after having had the problem for a few days now, it is really hard to figure out an exact repro of the issue. Sometimes the nav works fine after a short shutdown of the engine, and sometimes...

    LR3 Navigation Issues. Help!!

    I like your reasoning! Keep us posted. Maybe this is a corrosion related issue after all. I don't have the wiring diagram, but am pretty sure the wires run under the left front door. I'll pull the plastic and have a peek in a couple of days to look for anything suspicious.

    LR3 Navigation Issues. Help!!

    Hey, Although my problem is not identical as yours, I'm also experiencing issues with the navigation on my '08 LR3. Maybe there are some similarities. My problem is that the navigation screen freezes, but only after a short stop - not after the vehicle has been shut down for a few hours...
