    Trailer Wiring kit 2008 Range Rover Supercharged

    The link below is to a number of what I will call trailer hitch wiring files for my 2005 LR3. I do not think your 2008 RR will be much different. https://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497 I purchased the official LR trailer wiring harness from BP Utah. I expect Atlantic...

    HDC Fault, Engine Fault, Special Programs Not Available, EPB Fault, and more HELP!

    The above two posts are certainly appreciated. #41 says the "replacing the brake light switch was the solution" and #42 provided another solution to the problem - something I had not heard of prior, hence I learned something. That is how the Board is supposed to work - provides and...

    Help we have an electrical problem

    I am not really familiar with whatever the Wolfbox is. I see per their website there are a number of models, hence which model did you install? https://wolfbox.com/product-category/all-products/ Am I to assume the Wolfbox connects to some power source within the headliner - presumably...

    Rigid spring installation vs air struts

    I was rereading my previous post #9 and I kind of have to agree with Houm above. I bought my 3 because it had air suspension whereas pretty much 15 years ago, nothing else 4x4 did. I still have it 15 years and 400,000+ km later I guess because it has 4 wheel independent air suspension and not...

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    You are probably correct and for me, it was just wistful thinking but I figured I read it somewhere that a change of one would eventually self calibrate. I cannot find that article however but I did find below from an LR3 suspension overview which agrees with your comment. This means the GAP...

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    Re 1. above, in theory yes. Attached is a picture showing the cover of the newer AMK compressor that replaced the original Hitachi. The new case was deeper than the original and hence clearance was reduced a bit but primarily it is a slightly different shape than the Hitachi case. My...

    Keyless Entry Antenna Location

    It seems you are getting an error code but are you experiencing any problems? I ask as for the most part, I regard those error messages as an indication that probably something is wrong somewhere, but rarely does the message accurately point to the concern. About the only thing fancy that I...

    Roaring sound

    If the radiator fan on the 4 is the same setup as my 3, you have what is called an electro-viscous fan clutch coupling. Most fan clutch couplings are merely viscous which means that the fan feels the air temperature coming off the radiator and engages as required. Land Rover adds an additional...

    Hey from Canada

    I was looking at the insulation in your garage and it did not surprise me you live in Edmonton. I will keep an eye out for you - the black wheels are distinctive. Your garage floor looks very familiar - like mine - frost heave. My 3 is just a grocery getter - very stock (18" rims); just...

    2008 LR3 Trans Pan identification

    The attached link has a number of files related to the ZF HP26 transmission in our 3's. A couple of the files speak directly re the OEM ZF plastic pan as well as the replacement metal pans. Many of the files have over a thousand views and one, I see has over five thousand, hence some must...

    Air suspension

    I presume that you are new to Land Rovers and in particular air suspension. You may wish to spend a couple of weeks reading the various files I have over the years, created within the link below. Many of the files have have over five thousand views, hence it may be that some have found the...

    2011 Sport intermittent faulty fuel gauge

    Is your temperature gauge also acting up? About all I can suggest is to unplug and plug back in the single electrical connector that feeds signal to the instrument cluster. A picture of the rear of the instrument cluster is in the first attached pdf and links to how to remove the cluster in...

    Rear hatch issue

    I suggest that before you head off to the dealer, first remove the switch mechanism from the upper hatch. The link below and the attached has pictures and links. The rear hatch switch assembly unclips and pulls down and out much like one of the license plate lights when you want to replace a...

    LR3 Brighter Foglight Options?

    I installed PIAA H11 2500K Yellow 55 watt lamps in my bumper located lights. I like the yellow colour as it does not reflect back when snowing to the degree that white does. The lights fill the dark area right in front of the 3 and also somewhat the ditch which is what I am usually trying to...

    Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?

    You are correct, but who licensed what from whom? The good news is that you have a better chance of getting your tranny worked on at a Ford dealer than with LR. The link below is from within the file link I provided above. The link is to what Ford calls their 6R60 which was their license...

    Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?

    I will give you my version of what was told to you. We are scared of those foreign transmissions. We attempted to change the oil and filter (well the whole pan) on an LR3 a few years back and ended up towing the 3 to an Independent transmission shop (not one of the chains) and the guy really...

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

    For me, the problem was resolved by replacing the oil temperature sensor down by the oil filter. The coolant and the oil temp sensors both feed to the engine computer. Some calculation is made with the engine computer software and that sum is sent to the transmission and the fuel controls...

    DIY Antenna LR095840 Install

    From your pictures in the first post, I kind of presumed that the round thing still stuck to the metal might be a GPS antenna. In my LR3, the GPS antenna is located within the red plastic of the high mount stop light assembly so all I have is the round plastic plug back there. I also assumed...

    DIY Antenna LR095840 Install

    Really good pictures, much appreciated. Is the antenna within the plastic cover just a cell phone antenna or is it also the radio antenna? If the antenna includes radio, is the signal it receives AM/FM or is is just for Sirius XM signal? I do not have anything similar in my LR3. The antenna's...

    The link below is to a number of trailer hitch and trailer wiring files for my LR3. Some of them may be of value re the LR4, in particular the ones related to the electric brake wiring. https://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497 As to the Curt Hitch, per the attached install...

    AC drain location..help

    Per above where the post says the drain is accessed from the cabin, the attached link shows the AC drains on either side of the transmission ****. In my case, for my LR3, it was not plugged drains but the drain hose thru the floor was disconnected and hence the water soaked into the floor...

    2006 LR3 warning lights faulty

    I second Houm above. I am wondering / guessing if you are asking about the downhill assist feature? If so, where are these lights - on the centre console or on the dash or both? You will find that there are lots of lights, lots of colours, and lots of locations re feature indicator lights -...

    No blinker sound

    Just be patient and you will not have the headlight warning, the key in ignition binging and a few other sounds - they all emanate from that same speaker. You should still have the backup alarm however as that was a separate speaker located in the rear on the LR3 and might also be on the 4 but...

    GAP tool and alternator measurements

    Yes, they call it a Smart Alternator but it really is a Dumb Alternator. Below is how the alternator system works on my LR3 but the LR4 is not much different. I might also add that ambient air temperature also is a factor in the charge voltage. Colder means higher voltage and hotter, lower...

    No blinker sound

    Attached is a series of links to articles related to the replacement of the "speaker" located within the Instrument Cluster. If you can do the labour, it is a cheap fix and even if you have to pay people to get the instrument cluster out, the fix is still cheaper than buying a new instrument...
