LR3 with 134,000...long trip?
Agree with trickle charging the battery for a week of nights before departing. Also prior to, do a before morning engine start voltage check across the battery posts for a week or so to see what the overnight battery voltage number is. The engine will normally start with 9 volts cold, but the... -
Can anyone tell me liters needed to fill 06 lr3
It sounds like you have resolved the "how much" problem, - that the answer is a temperature reading rather than a volume number. The link below is to a number of files/pdfs specifically related to our ZF 6HP26 transmission. I note that one of the files has over 4,500 downloads and many have... -
LR3 with 134,000...long trip?
Regarding the cooling system tee and a few other plastic parts in the cooling system, now is the time to change them out, while you are at home - new thermostat housing etc. Once done, you can forget about the cooling system and enjoy the trip. My 3 is more reliable now with 200,000 miles on... -
Land Rover Discovery 3, Headlight washers not working.
Below is a link to removing the washer tank/getting at the pumps, however as it seems your windscreen squirters work as I suppose does the rear glass squirter, that the main pump is OK. It may be that your headlight washers are OK as well. Yes, there is a separate headlight squirter pump, but... -
Attempted Theft of Discovery 4...??
I just noticed on the BlackBox website, they already have developed a device that purports to keep the Can Buss lock system from being tampered with. You already have the problem, so that fix would is a bit late, but it pretty much proves they have the ability to resolve your immediate problem... -
Attempted Theft of Discovery 4...??
I presume what you are saying is that no one can now start the engine, let alone you being able to drive the 4. The dealer organization will be helpless as they are generally afraid, (for good reason), of any software fixes. You are fortunate that you are in the UK and that actually get a hold... -
New Owner - Need help with identifying a button
Yes, and then let us know as well. It is a good location for a button - easy to fit and wire. -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
Below is a link to a 17 page LR pdf related to the braking system and subsystems. I see it only has a thousand views in contrast to the over 5,000 views related to changing out the brake light switch, however the 17 page pdf does a good job of twisting your mind. We have come along way from... -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
This is a link to the brake light circuit wiring diagram that perhaps gives one an indication of why a faulty brake light switch can effectively disable the 3. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5082&pos=9 Below is a brief summary of some of what can be affected. Stop... -
LEAKING WASHER RESERVOIR
Link re washer tank replacement - took maybe a three minute search to find the thread. https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/replacing-washer-bottle-60402.html?highlight=washer+tank Below is a summary of the procedure - the thread contains more comment and worth reading. Tackled this today as mine... -
Making a case for the D5
Unfortunately, I think the new Defender is going to be the Australian Ford Ranger that is now being shown at the North American car shows. Since LR is into re-badging, I do not know why they just cannot continue production the LR4/D4 as the new Defender. The tooling etc was long ago paid for... -
LR4 vs LR3 Air Suspension Struts
From what I understand, the LR4 struts have a different "spring rate" from the LR3. I think that means softer, but that is subjective. The bottom line is that yes, there is a design difference even if there is no physical difference. This was an issue in Australia when the D4 first appeared... -
Making a case for the D5
Manoftaste, I much appreciate the effort you are putting into these posts. I enjoyed the videos - we do not seem to get them up here so that is the first time I have seen them. I presume no one of significance at Tata who could actually set direction reads forums - well Land Rover forums... -
Making a case for the D5
Well, what we do know it that it was not the deep bass from the lower tailgate woofer. It was probably the infotainment system antenna within the rear hatch upper glass straining for more Boston Pops. -
Making a case for the D5
The D5 demo day was a real education. Why Land Rover has to hide something so capable in sheep's clothing - well if it sells, OK, but ... The previous Discovery's all looked to be what they are - the D5, not so certain. I am not kidding re the glass roof popping out, (not), - and while no one... -
Making a case for the D5
You are of course correct, but when they look the same, the market sees otherwise. I had the privilege of participating in a Land Rover trials day. An Explorer could never balance on two wheels at the top of an inverted V type obstacle where to go down the other side, the driver just shifts... -
Making a case for the D5
I regard the D5 has an expensive Explorer, but more optimistically, perhaps the D5 evolution was just to provide a break so that when the new Defender is introduced and it looks almost like a 3/4, that LR will have something to save both their image and the company. Right now, the only body on... -
TAILGATE WON'T OPEN
If they did not break anything, they did not overcharge you. Knowledge is what costs, but parts are often even more, and when they are across a continent and then an ocean, they get really expensive. I note that you said the body shop failed, so I would say your dealer did well. Getting at... -
TAILGATE WON'T OPEN
That is good news - that your actuator works now; guess it was getting tired. You might want to install a manual release something like I did so when it finally gives out, you have options. The link below shows how I did it. With your experience pulling the covers off, it would not take you... -
TAILGATE WON'T OPEN
I regard the rear hatch will not open as a major fuss. The fix is not too difficult once you know what is wrong and have the hatch open, but that is the problem. The link below shows some pictures of what is inside the lower half. First off, all the moving parts are in the lower half so the... -
Lr3 transmission fault
I like what you say re taking time between 1 and 2. I would say that suggests a weak battery as it takes more time that it perhaps should for the computers to spin up. I think LR's computers to not have very good voltage adapters from 12VDC to the 5VDC that computers run on. As such, any low... -
Debadge
Best put something on the rear lest the unwashed think it is an Explorer. I was wondering what Land Rover was "saving" the LR name for - the Defender? Discovery on the bonnet is just so blah! They have not yet taken Range Rover off the bonnets of the flock of those vehicles, and perhaps they...- bbyer

One brake light dim.....
Switch all the bulbs on both sides. Yes, I know the problem appears to be brake light related but it is never that simple with LR. Also do you have a trailer hitch wiring connector? If so, is it clean and does the wiring harness going into it look good? Yes, you must use OEM bulbs in all... -
headlight bulbs burning out too quickly
When I had an alternator problem, I could not even get it apart - the main screws just would not undo. I guess it does not take much for me to give up, but in my case, I presumed the trouble was the internal regulator as the alternator still seemed to make lots of amps; there just seemed to be... -
Front tow hook. Removing plastic cover?
Good picture and shows the radiator fins quite will. That is why I think one needs something underneath to protect the fins from small bits - the same stuff that cracks windshields etc.
