    LR3 Parking Brake Backer Plates

    Interesting. So, vehicle is definitely safely drivable as that only impacts the parking brake set up. It's something checked on the vehicle inspection list but until then I can figure out a way to repair, probably myself, from the video you shared and these other resources. The real question...

    LR3 Parking Brake Backer Plates

    @SCraig, thinking about the projected costs and current usability. Does this impair the driving and braking of the vehicle without having replaced the e-brake backer plates, etc? I'm balancing the cost vs. benefit and current value. Also, I clearly need to double check just what the...

    What about the backer plate and rusted parts?

    LR3 Parking Brake Backer Plates

    I'm not worried about the vehicle rolling. The Park locks it up pretty good with the transmission. A brick or 6x6 will certainly stop it from rolling if that was my concern. Thanks.

    LR3 Parking Brake Backer Plates

    Thanks Zulu, I'm contemplating that. I just spoke to the shop and sounds like the damage is even worse, so they're thinking above that $4k.... I'm reaching out to another independent Rover shop. I would love an option that is more affordable and keeps the vehicle for longer, just not sure if...

    LR3 Parking Brake Backer Plates

    Yeah. I suspect there's a myriad of problems. A lot stemming from all the effing salt used on the roads here in the Winter. We just go two light dusting, barely hiding the grass, and the city has coated the roads in rock salt the size of a pinky nail. They throw it so far it hits our houses...

    LR3 Parking Brake Backer Plates

    What does the parking brake attach to in the rear? Some assembly? I can appreciate your skepticism but this is a reputable shop I've been taking my vehicles to for almost 20 years. I'm probably not explaining it clearly or accurately. Part of the explanation I got was that the wheels and...

    LR3 Parking Brake Backer Plates

    Hi all. My 2008 LR3 HSE with about 140k miles on it has lost the parking brakes. The back plates rotted off, probably from the Summer's on Martha's Vineyard and the Winter's here on the New England mainland.... I took it to my local tire and brake shop, they do have someone who used to work at...

    NAV Center Not Recognized

    Update: The shop got back to me yesterday saying they went to check my issue and the Nav was working as designed. They double-checked for me and when I picked it up I had the same results. It's working! Mysteriously it fixed itself and is working again as neither I nor anyone at the shop did...

    Thanks! I forgot where it was and frankly have been focused on other things. Thanks and I'll pass this along to them.

    NAV Center Not Recognized

    I had my LR3 into my local tire shop - very reputable family business with many stores here in MA (Sullivan Tire). They were fixing a software issue with the software flash for my air suspension. Long story short I had to replace the system - failed compressors, leaking air bags, etc. But...

    Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?

    Interesting discussion for me. Recent change on my end where I'll be moving to a new place with a lot more room - and snow and dirt - so am going to look at more aggressive tires in a year-ish. When I bought my LR3 in 2010 I also got the OEM 18" rims so was thinking of using that for my more...
