    Hood Latch Sensor

    I too had the same problem with my alarm going off randomly. Found out that it was the hood/bonnet sensor. Thanks to your instructions on how to remove it, I took the sensor off and found that the metal strip that puts tension on the switch had been too "depressed", thus making the switch trip...

    Park Brake fault

    It may be that your eBrake module may need to be reset by the dealer. Did you change brake pads, or have you used your D3 to wade through water? Vinny

    Need advice on possible front bumper hitch mount...

    I have a 2008 LR3 HSE and I wanted to add a front hitch mount so that I can possibly attach a versahaul motorcycle carrier (max load 600lbs). Has anyone done this mod? If so, should I worry about the extra weight on the front of the truck (planning to tow my airstream at the same time) and...

    So cold outside....but toasty hands...

    My LR3 started just fine. Although, the battery in it is only less than a year old. So that may play a big difference in how it starts. I did put a thread here on how I did my steering wheel mod. Just do a search on it. Vince

    So cold outside....but toasty hands...

    Woke up yesterday to a bone-chilling -29 F with a windchill of -40 F! Yikes! So glad I added a heated steering wheel to my 2008 LR3 HSE! Best MOD I ever did! Vince

    Park Brake fault

    I had the same problem and had to bring my 2008 LR3 to the dealership. Twice, they cleared the warning lights and twice it reappeared. After the 3rd diagnostics performed by them, it turned out that the CONTROL MODULE had to be replaced because it had SHORT CIRCUITED because water had gone...

    Finally Installed a Heated Steering Wheel In My 2008 LR3 HSE!

    The stealership wanted to charge me 800 bucks just for the clockspring! And they wanted to know the VIN for the car it was supposed to go into. So I didn't go that route because I'm sure that they would warn me about modifying something that might possibly void any warranty on the car, which is...

    Finally Installed a Heated Steering Wheel In My 2008 LR3 HSE!

    I finally did it! I successfully modified and installed a heated steering wheel into my 2008 LR3 HSE! This project took several weeks to do in total. Had to wait for several needed parts to arrive from Roverparts (eBay). By no means was this a cheap modification. But it was a lot of fun to...

    RS sliders paid for themselves this weekend >>

    From seeing your video, the approach you took was your downfall. Fortunately, you got out of it. Live and learn. But, the important thing is, you guys had fun!

    Towing - Who has towed what?

    The GROSS weight of this 72' A/S is 6200 lbs. Tongue weight is 550 lbs. BUT, it came with a Load Distribution Hitch which lessens the tongue weight, which goes below the LR3's tongue weight max. The LR3 tows this A/S without any problems! Straight as an arrow! I credit the Airstream's LDH...

    brake controller

    I recently bought a Prodigy 2 for my 27ft Airstream and am towing with my LR3. It works great! Took a few minutes to hook it up to the harness under the brake padle. I also modified a bracket for it that made it easy for me to manually activate my Airstream brakes. I just bought an extra...

    Towing - Who has towed what?

    Bought a 27ft 1972 Airstream Overlander this past weekend. After reading many posts about not using the LR3 with trailers using a LOAD DISTRIBUTION HITCH/stabilizer bar, I just decided that it was worth the gamble. Drove 1,000 miles round trip, hauling the Airstream, (which was filled with 40...

    What Harman Kardon system do I have??

    It should have HK logo on the small triangle speakers. You can also go into the radio's menu and it should have an on/off selection for LOGIC 7.

    How long do you plan on keeping your LR3?

    I plan to keep mine for as long as it'll run as well.
