    LR3 freaking out when turn off!! lights, a/c and door locks blink on and off

    Lower mileage, that is the secret - much appreciated. It makes sense of course, and important to know. I much appreciate knowing this. One other "trick" I might mention is that sometimes, the connector going into the rear of the cluster loosens - appears tight but just needs removal and then...

    LR3 freaking out when turn off!! lights, a/c and door locks blink on and off

    So you are saying that you did not have to purchase a brand new one, but just got a similar junk yard display and then were able to put your 3's software back in - as in overwrite whatever was in the old one. What year is your 3? Mine is 2005 and I thought the chips on the instrument panel...

    Will 2003-2005 RR wheels fit on LR4?

    I am running Pirelli Ice and Snow 235 65 R18 XL 110H on my 18" Land Rover ten spoke rims for my winter tyres; Bridgestone Dueler Alenza HL 255 55 R19 11V XL for summer on my six spoke 19" rims. Note for winter, that I used narrower taller rubber, but on 18", not 19" as I think you are looking...

    Alternator going bad?

    Count the number of grooves in the pulley! One thing I learned the hard way when replacing my alternator was to first count the number of grooves in the replacement alternator and compare that to the removed. As to how many grooves are correct, all I will admit to perhaps five, maybe six, and...

    06 LR3 Transmission Fault, glovebox fuse F33 continually blowing

    To my knowledge, an LR3 has only three brake lights - the middle high one and one on each side at the top. The 3 has 4 taillight filaments - two on each side but on 2 brake light filaments. Either you has a 3 that is different from most with respect to tail light bulbs or something is feeding...

    Will 2003-2005 RR wheels fit on LR4?

    I assume what you are saying that all four wheel together add up to over 8,000 pounds which is correct. I think the reason for the high rating of each wheel is that it is not uncommon for the 3 to be momentarily balancing on two wheels under difficult off road conditions. In those rare cases...

    Will 2003-2005 RR wheels fit on LR4?

    If load rating matters, technically, only wheels off an LR3 or 4 will meet spec for the 4. This is because of the higher load rating of 940 kgs per the marking shown below on the backside of a 6 spoke 19" wheel off an LR3. These wheels are factory standard on the 2005 LR3 SE and Made in Italy...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    This is the link to the air compressor piping layout along with all main parts named. It is a doc you can download and print out. Hopefully then you can follow the airlines going into the air compressor. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3802&pos=1 Regarding getting the...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    EAS Calibration would be yes, easier, much easier. Pulling the fuse should help tell the story.

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    I think I see good news - the fact your Nav appears to correctly display what is obvious from the jpgs of the 3 suggests to me that your problems are what I call "mechanical" rather than "electrical". By "electrical", I means wiring or computer type problems, in other words, stuff you cannot...

    Replacing window switch - Help!

    My thoughts are that since you purchased a whole new assembly, I think you should just install it and not try to take the unit apart. I expect internally, there is a single printed circuit board with embedded membrane contacts for all the switches. This is not like the old days where each...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    I have a 2005 LR3 with 175,000 miles and all is working well. I might add that I spend about $6,000 a year in maintenance so I suppose that should not be a surprise. You did right in getting your 3 towed as replacing Jaguar engines in not quite the same as installing a junkyard 350 into a...

    Engine air filter

    Don't forget the HVAC filter. The link below shows how to locate and replace the heating AC system inlet air filter in the LR3/D3. I think the LR4 is the same. Relative to the engine air filters, the HCAC filter can get really dirty fast. I may go two years on the engine air filter, but the...

    Engine air filter

    Five years if parked, more often if driving. Actually how long something like an air filter is good for depends upon where the vehicle is driven. If always in a dry dust free cool mountain like environment, then maybe a long time; if in a normal Normal American city where rain is seldom...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    Replace the brake light switch and then clear all the codes again. Your dealer is probably pretty good at doing warrenty repairs on new vehicles, but older ones, well they have different problems that most dealers have never seen. Eventually you will have to find an independent who works on...

    Fluctuating RPM's at constant throttle (throttle hunting, surging, gear hunting)

    Hide, rather than fix, is what might at best happen with any of these transmission "treatments". Dirtying up the tranny oil is another fix - perhaps with iron filings - not a long term fix but long enough to exercise the options. This is why a problem automatic may not function all all, (well...

    BEWARE OF RANGE ROVER MAP UPDATE FROM "HERE MAPS"

    Re the LR4, is there any option to using Here Maps, which is I gather the official LR update supplier? My 2005 LR3 fortunately uses the CD so one has a few options so to speak. With the LR4 solid state memory design and "very proprietary" update cable, I was of the thought that one does not...

    Oil Level "Not Available" - how to fix?

    I don't suppose you would provide the link - I regard both the question and answer as of value.

    Fluctuating RPM's at constant throttle (throttle hunting, surging, gear hunting)

    This winter, I have the same problem - engine surging, but if I shift into a manually selected gear and drive for a few minutes, the problem disappears for the day. I have 275,000 km (170,000 miles) on the 3 and have changed the tranny oil three times now since new. As the first post of this...

    rear wiper motor successfully fixed

    Gear arrived today and as advertised. That was pretty quick from Turkey - ordered Feb 3 and arrived Feb 10. I expect these guys in Turkey make the OEM parts so it is probably made of good material. It will be spring however before I install it as a preventative maintenance item.

    Suspension, air compressor question

    It looks like you have the AMK replacement compressor for the original Hitachi. There are some parts available for the older Hitachi which was OEM on the 2005 to about 2010 vehicles, but the newer AMK, I have not heard of any parts yet being available. That does not mean there are no parts...

    rear wiper motor successfully fixed

    Thanks - I just ordered the gear. It will be spring when it warms up before I do the fix, but at least I will have the part - hopefully it will fit the motor in my 2005 LR3 so let you know in a few months. My motor sounds OK but the 3 is now about 12 years old so the nylon should be getting...

    rear wiper motor successfully fixed

    Could you provide the link to Amazon or where ever if is you ordered the part. I am not very familiar with ordering via Amazon - eBay is where I find most of my stuff. Also, was there a Land Rover part number or is this what might be called "after market"? Replacing the gear sounds like a...

    Nokian WRG3 or Bridgestone Dueler h/l Alenza plus

    I regard the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza H/L as a summer tyre. I put a set of 19" on about four years ago and as summer tyres, are very happy with them and would purchase them again. For winter, I have 18" Pirelli Ice & Snow 235 65 R18XL, 110H, a narrower tyre than the 19" 255 55 R19 111V XL...
