    Keyless Entry Issue

    I got the battery in the mail yesterday and followed your directions tonight. As soon as i had the battery soldered in, i couldn't resist testing the buttons and it worked! It's nice to consider that I just saved close to $300 (which now goes toward tires). For anyone else that's going to...

    Keyless Entry Issue

    Well, I ordered the battery from Digi-Key (their part# is P085-ND). The price came out about the same as yours after I selected USPS First Class mail delivery, but then I promptly got a phone call informing me they can't ship these batteries through USPS, so now it is more like $15 which means...

    Help! Warning lights and Rover going crazy

    I had a very similar problem a couple of months ago. I am in South Texas, though, and this happened without any significant changes in the weather, so it may be that the extreme weather you had is a coincidence (or not). It ended up being a faulty brake switch for me. You didn't mention...

    ACC/ignition lead is dead...is there a fuse?

    Okay, so i'm installing a dvd player and found out the hard way that the wiring on the unit was mislabeled. I turned the power to the unit on and all the lights turned off in the car (ignition was not running). I thought I had blown a fuse or relay, but by the time i had disconnected the dvd...

    Rear Seat DVD Installation (/w Pics)

    Hey gtc, I haven't been on the boards for awhile and was hoping to see how your headrests turned out...they look great! Thanks for the write-up. I'm also curious to see how you think the quality is in daylight. It looks like this would probably be the largest you would want to go as far as...

    floorboards soaked, and I mean SOAKED

    +1...a friend of mine had the same issue, blocked sunroof drains, and the dealership tried to use a wet vac and spray something (we're thinking deodorizer and not anti-bacterial). It seemed fine when he picked it up, but the next time it rained his interior reeked of mildew.

    Windshield replacement

    Another option may be insurance. Depending on your contract, you may have some sort of glass coverage that may/may not be subject to your deductible. Typically this can be covered under Comprehensive coverage and most companies will not penalize you for claims made under it (vs. Collision...

    Ford ESP Warranty now available for all LR3s still under warranty

    Yes, you can take it to the LR dealership. I believe you are correct in that those citing a 6yr/100k limit start counting from their vehicle's service date. Some, like mine, will start effective the signing of the warranty contract. I opted for 4yr/48k which starts now and I happen to be at...

    Ford ESP Warranty now available for all LR3s still under warranty

    GMAC Repair Advantage PDF Well, mine was one of the posts that got lost in the last few days. I wish I could remember all of the wisdom and incredible insight that i had included (oh yeah, and did anyone right down my formula for making high octane fuel out of dirt?), but I think I'm doing...

    Please assist a prospective LR3 owner.

    Maybe we can start talking about stroller mods to balance it out? :biggrin: Nope, you're right. Next thing you know, we'll have the wives shoulder surfing saying "...and say this, and say that..." :listen: Don't need that!

    mustbeaudi, did you get a copy of the GMAC contract or another one?

    Please assist a prospective LR3 owner.

    We have a Peg Perego brand Venezia stroller (found it here) and used to use it all the time when my daughter was younger and will probably use it again with the new one. It lays flat and seems pretty comfortable for a small baby. It is not compact at all, though. When we took a trip to...

    Rear Seat DVD System

    gtc, Have you had a chance to see if the electronics in the dvd headrests leave enough space behind them for the grab bars to stick in behind them? I know you may not have had a chance to do a true fit, but just wondering if everything looks like it will work pretty well, or are you thinking it...
