Trailer wiring
There should be no software flash needed re the trailer wiring hookup, however LED trailer lights will cause odd blinking of the trailer lights as the system was designed for normal tungsten trailer bulbs. The link below provides a home built solution to the LED related blinking if it is... -
Android Head unit?
Is there some difference between the terms Android Head Unit and Android Auto? I do not know much about this stuff but what is above supposed to do - just allow your Android phone to display on a larger display? I gather for most of the devices, the "radio" in our 3 is to remain, just the "TV"... -
'11 LR4 vs UHaul
I see the original post was in June so I imagine the trip is long since completed. The link below has a number of files related to trailer wiring for the LR3. They also cover the LED concern. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497 -
LR4 problem with trailer brake/turn light
The link below has a number of files related to your trailer wiring and LED lights. One of the files has a wiring drawing showing how to make an adapter to allow for the use of LED trailer lights. I used two 6 ohm 50 watt resistors. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497 -
Suspension shock absorbers
As I presume you are new to your 3, you might want to look thru the various files I have collected re the air suspension system per the link below. I note that one has over five thousand views and another over four thousand, hence I guess others regard them of value as well. Your 3 has what I... -
Coolant low warning on- and leaking into passenger footwell??
Below is a link to a number of HVAC files I have assembled related to my LR3. I doubt the mechanicals of your 4 are much different than my 3, (the electrics probably are). The good news is that your problem is most likely a leak in the heater core and hence the sort of thing that at least one... -
Rosen Entertainment System - Won’t Read Disk
The link below has a number of files related to the install and trouble shooting of your Rosen A10 system. A few hours spent reviewing the various pdf's might provide the solution. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=34462- bbyer

Another Defender hint?
Yes, just rebadge the LR4 - a no brainer and the development costs were long ago written off, hence the badges would be the only new cost for the new Defender. While it would always be a limited production vehicle, at least Land Rover would still beable to claim some tie to its past. It is no... -
2008 LR3 Dash Failure (Lights Out)
In an LR3, if the battery is more than five years old, and has not been regularly put on a battery maintainer for a week or so a couple of times a year, then installing a new battery can be good preventive maintenance. An LR3 is really a mobile computer masquerading as the worlds best 4x4. The... -
2008 LR3 Dash Failure (Lights Out)
There is a single big cable connector on the rear of the instrument cluster that over time works loose. That is probably why you have a "now you see it, now you don't" intermittent kind of problem. The link below shows a picture of the rear of the cluster and the location of the plug in the... -
New steering wheel
I have the same "air bag pucker" on my 2005 and decided I like it that way. I also do not want to do what it would take to get a new one. Patina of age is how I look at it. The perimeter of my factory 2005 steering wheel looks a bit different than your original and while the top of it is a... -
Dropping calls, Bluetooth, etc...
If you mean Text Messaging on my Land Rover NAV display, I guess no as I never thought about that. Regardless, I do not think it would work as the only Bluetooth / phone display I have see in the past is on the small "radio" window or the small display window below the fuel gauge. That is...- bbyer

Dropping calls, Bluetooth, etc...
Interior signal booster? I have a theory that what seems like Bluetooth problems are actually signal reception concerns. I recently purchased a BB KeyOne to replace my BB 9900 in my LR3. I noted that I was not seeing 5 bars very often with the LTE and LTE+ and hence presumed that was the...- bbyer

Passenger Fusebox problems.
First of all, per the second post, I doubt that you have a "fusebox" problem. The solution is not that drastic or expensive, but it is much harder. When someone says you have a fusebox problem, what I think they are suggesting is that there is a problem with the printed circuit board attached... -
Windshield and Rain Sensor
Probably not now, but a few years back, there was an offshore supplier of LR heated windscreens. You could tell them by the copper coloured vertical buss bars visible on the left and right sides of the windscreen. (I note that you do not see anything like that on the Pilkington, only the fine... -
pentosin atf1 for ATF filter change?? 07 lr3
The link below is to a number of files related to our 6 speed ZF 6HP26 transmission. I see one of the files has over 4,500 views and many have over a thousand. As to oil, about all I have used is the stuff from Land Rover but in the Jaguar marked bottle. It seems at least here that the Jag... -
Windshield and Rain Sensor
The non OEM referred to above, yes one can see thru it, (that is what the AS1 marking means), but if you need the heated windscreen, then you want the Pilkington. There is a reason the Pilkington Opticool costs more - this is not a situation where you get something for nothing. The E1 in the... -
Windshield and Rain Sensor
This link decodes the windscreen markings or the lack of them. The FY brand is of far east origin per below and it also lacks an E marking. http://www.carwindshields.info/windshieldmarkings This link below re DOT 459 identifies the manufacturer as being in Honglu Town, China... -
I wonder how Prince William feels about trading his LR4 for a D5.
When I went looking for a new vehicle to replace my 1992 Roadmaster with about 300,000 miles on it, I was tending to a Tahoe as I regarded the LR3 was being too small. When I actually got to examining the interior of both, I determined that with the flat floor when all seats were down and the... -
I wonder how Prince William feels about trading his LR4 for a D5.
I have wondered about that as well. The D5 even looks too small for a family of five now. I suppose they can manage a FFRR as it is at least a bit wider. One of the Jaguar cars might work as well, otherwise back to Audi I guess. In the jpg, but not in the video is one of the D4's security is... -
'08 LR3 HSE Lux
I must say you have kept the 3 in nice shape. I figure the 2008 model year 3's were the most reliable of the flock. LR had finally resolved most of the weak areas but were not yet ready to create a new set of problems. -
Land Rover Discovery 3, Headlight washers not working.
The headlight washer pump wiring seems to be pretty much a separate system from the rest of the squirters as the head light washers are optional. See the wiring pdf below. As such, it appears that relay R12 only powers the separate headlight washer pump. Also if the bumper ever has been off... -
Land Rover Discovery 3, Headlight washers not working.
I will be interested in the results. I am impressed that a device would be able to differentiate a wiring problem from perhaps a defective unit. Given that it seems most of our 3's problems are wiring and connector related, a device that can determine such will be of real value. I presume you... -
LR3 with 134,000...long trip?
Better yet might be to just install a new switch now and then you can forget about the potential Christmas Tree of dash warning lights for the next few years. The link below contains files showing how to replace the switch. The first time, it took me perhaps an hour or more, the second time, a... -
First problem: A/C cuts out while idling or moving slowly
Every spring I top up the Freon in the AC. It always needs topping up - never empty, but never full either. A fill is a lot cheaper than a compressor.
