    Suspension, air compressor question

    I guess an update would be in order. In otherwords, have you got your 3 up and running? The -900 compressor should not require any updates however what you received may not be the -900 unit. The first thing I would be looking into the electrical connectors of both the new and removed unit to...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    Cleaning the existing is a good idea, but what many do is purchase and install a new switch and then keep the removed in their spares box - you will need it someday. The good news is that I think the new switches with the FoMoCo logo in place of the Land Rover logo are actually better switches...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    I suspect your mechanic is correct. There are so many subtle changes between vehicles that you are lucky if you can get anything used to talk to something existing - even light bulbs. 2007 to 2008 might communicate, but for certain, 2007 to 2009 would not. The 2009 vehicles software wise...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    yes, everything to do with the brake light switch I presume you read my post #58 above with regards to the two sets of contacts on the brake light switch so yes, ABS etc is tied to the operation of or lack of, of the brake light switch contacts. I note you have a 2011 RRS, which I presume...

    Alternator - OEM or Aftermarket?

    normal bench tests do not work Your comment regarding the bench test make sense. As a rule, normal bench tests do not indicate regulator failure in that they will show the regulator as OK when it is not. This is because the regulator listens for some sort of Pulse Width Modulated signal...

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    update appreciated It is nice to hear how a problem was eventually resolved. I am also pleased to hear that there is an aftermarket fan unit for less as the LR price is not much fun. Again, thanks for the update.

    Alarm going off

    fully charged battery fixes alot of things A new or fully charged battery can fix alot of things on a LR, at least for awhile anyway. The systems seem to require near 14 volts to keep them happy and less than 12.5 makes them very unhappy. A good first attempt at a fix for near any problem...

    a/c drain in lr3

    one hose had slipped right off On my 3, the left hose by the gas pedal had slipped right off. I did not try any unplugging of the rubber hose; I just slipped the hose back up over the nipple and it seemed tight. A couple of years on, all still seems OK. My 3 is tucked away in a garage...

    Headlight bulb replacement

    Factory D2S HID xenon 35 watt 4300K bulb The link below is some info on the factory D2S HID xenon 35 watt 4300K bulb that is standard in the eyeball headlights of the higher spec 3's. The 4's use something similar but not the D2S bulb. After about ten years, I replaced both my bulbs due to...

    a/c drain in lr3

    Clip part number FYC 500040 What you are saying is that the one hose you looked at had not actually slipped down and off the plastic drain tit of the heater cowling, but that the hose seemed to have condensation or moisture on the outside. When one or both hoses slip off, that is when you...

    High idle switch

    a bigger alternator also perhaps I would be looking for sites such as below that specialize in high output alternators for police type vehicles. Given that our electrical system is Ford designed, it may be that something Ford like can be adapted to provide high idle. It seems high idle...

    Replaced Rear Air Valve - New Symptoms

    Air System files for your info. As you changed the rear air valve out, I think you pretty much must know how the system works, but below is a link to wiring and pneumatic drawings. I suspect the right side air line is just not properly inserted into the new valve block and hence leaking...

    Alarm going off

    fault codes per the dealer T4 I found the below related to fault codes accessible to a dealer T4. If you have a known door concern, you are probably better to spend the money fixing a real problem before you give money to the dealer for a fishing expedition. The alarm stops immediately...

    a/c drain in lr3

    AC on or has it been raining? This file is one of the two specific to the AC/Heater/Cowl drains. Given that the wet is closest to the foot rest on the drivers side, that suggests a plugged sun roof drain. If wet appears in hot weather when you have been using the AC and it has not been...

    LR3 Water on front passenger foot space

    Perhaps the air conditioner / heater cowl drains instead The link below has a couple of files related to the two drains off the bottom of the heater/AC cowling. If the wet is closer to the transmission hump than the door, then the water is most likely coming from one of the two cowling drains...

    Alarm going off

    probably experiment I think I would be replacing the door sensor. I would tend to think there is something wrong there. With my 3, I have never had to slam any door shut; closing the doors has always been a gentle procedure as the closing always has a solid feel. I am trying to think...

    Lr3 Low Coolant Message

    Tranny oil change and filter I guess the low coolant message is just the soaked float problem so that is solvable by yourself - replace the tank assembly complete and you get a new float. Re the tranny, I presume there has never been an oil and filter change. This I would suggest first...

    Lr3 Low Coolant Message

    Problems might be interrelated - it is a LR thing! Regarding the coolant, I guess the real question is what is the coolant level in the coolant tank? If it is low, then it should perhaps be topped up. Per the jpg's attached, there is a low level line molded into the plastic. Usually when...

    Lr3 Low Coolant Message

    tranny oil change That is one of the approved procedures re doing a tranny oil change. It is also a good opportunity to get at both differentials and the transfer case for a routine oil change. What you see is why LR does not change the tranny oil on any leased 3 or 4 under the all...

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    would be nice it it was within the fan unit A few years back I replaced the fan assembly as it for the most part, wanted to run only at full speed and not slow down. For a year or so, there were no fan speed issues but then after some time, I would get the intermittent high speed for short...

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    yes, no codes My theory as to why there are no codes is that the systems thinks all is fine and that the fan is doing what it is supposed to. One might not confuse logic with what is correct, but the systems do.

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    a fuse I gather, F16 I noted a sort of light bulb icon beside the F16 fuse. I have always wondered what that light bulb like icon was supposed to mean.

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    What relay? I have to agree with not panicking when a light goes on or a noise starts - that just seems part of the LR mystique - well maybe mystery. As to mystery, the relay you refer it, it is apparently in the engine compartment fuse box but which one? I looked thru the viscous fan wiring...
