Help needed!! More head scratching on battery/alternator/charging system... '06 LR3
Things have only gone from bad to worse.... Took it to a second indy shop where a short was found between the rear connector and the ECU. However, the car then began overcharging - close to 18 volts and pretty much everything just lit up, except when the dashboard simply closed down altogether... -

Thanks for that. Nothing is redundant right now:) I just bought a remanufactured Denso and I’ll be taking it into the local Indy shop this evening. The way the car has been behaving I’m thinking it needs a deeper diagnosis than I can manage. I’ll keep this thread updated when I find out more. -

Help needed!! More head scratching on battery/alternator/charging system... '06 LR3
Hey guys, I’ve read through pretty much every forum thread known to man in an attempt to fix what I thought was a pretty simple problem that now has taken me from scratching my head to banging it against the wall. I’ll try to keep this concise. Three weeks ago while setting off from a... -

Leaking air spring replacement
I just finished replacing the front struts on my LR3. The struts are rebuilds from Suncore and are as good as new. Here's the video which has some very good tips found nowhere else as far as I can tell. The first is to remove the heat shields to access the top nut closest to the engine; the... -

Sunroof drain preventative maintenance?
I've had leaks a few times on my LR3, the last one was just this week and caused by pollen collection in the top of the passenger side drain tube. A bit of wire followed by during water down the tube has fixed it. The worst leak I had was from the angled drain exit point on the drivers side. It... -

Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?
For the OP, It can get pretty tight under there to replace those fluids. I'd recommend getting a decent height jack from Harbor Freight and 4 axle stands. It's also not worth risking your life and the terrible pain for your family by rising what the suspension system may or may not do -

Purge valve and lean/ rich code
Parts Geek has some very cheap ones but others for $100. Their OEM is 275. Have you tried just cleaning it? -

Purge valve and lean/ rich code
I had those codes for the best part of a year, in which time I tried most suggested fixes. I finally discovered the oil filler cap was loose by about 1/4 turn. No more codes and engine light has been on since. That was in May. -

Sunroof leaks
Yes, that's right. It's still a bit fiddly and it's a good idea to lightly grease the ****** to ease it onto the tube and also to get it through the hole in the side panel. -

Lol, I hadn't noticed the seafood. Always check the spellcheck:) -

2012 LR4 High Throttle Hesitation
They were the lean fuel codes, 71 and 74. Any reduction in performance had been minimal but the codes themselves were enough to prevent the garage from carrying out an emissions test. -

2012 LR4 High Throttle Hesitation
I had the amber engine light coming on intermittently for months. I cleaned the throttle body and the MAF, threw seafood at it checked for leaks, replaced the gas filler cap, etc, etc. Things were getting desperate when the garage couldn't carry out an emissions test so I decided to start all... -

Wet Driver floorboard 2011 LR4
It may also be the drain tube exit plug under the dash. Easy repair. -

Sunroof leaks
Oh, and then there's the exit end plug on the passenger side that may need a little circumcision operation
