    Aftermarket Bonnet Struts?

    Stabilus are the good struts! Stabilus are I think also the original LR marked struts as well. Regardless, they are the good ones. Regarding the bonnet struts, replace them as a pair. Having one side carry more weight than the other can lead to a twisted bonnet.

    Alarm going off

    Fortunately, I have not yet had any problem with my bonnet alarm sensor, hence do not know much about it. In reading the bonnet switch install instructions below, it appears that there is no mounting adjustment re the switch but there is for the latch. Maybe if you just fool around with the...

    Alarm going off

    Tilt sensor in Europe The question is of course what is setting off your alarm. You may as short out the bonnet sensor but the odds are it is OK. In Europe there is a tilt sensor and vibration sensor in the alarm system as well an interior volumetric sensor but I think none of that...

    Alarm going off

    Any messages on display? Are you getting any messages on the middle display? I assume not and yes, you may as well short out the bonnet sensor in order to eliminate that question. It may be another door sensor or the rear hatch or wiring to the sensors. I guess I am not being too helpful...

    2013 - 2014 DVD Navigation Update?

    different is the problem and if at all is accurate My understanding is that LR UK has decided not to support the D3 as far as updated Navigation discs are concerned. Perhaps this is good as that suggests NavTeq can now sell direct to us. As such it is a matter of them deciding that there is...

    Brake pad wear sensor problem

    set / unset procedure for rears In theory, the light goes amber for brake pad wear but mine went red as well. In itself, red infers low brake fluid level but I took it to mean that the pads were worn and that a more than normal amount of brake fluid was required to actuate the worn pads and...

    Help Identifying this T Connector (and a replacement)

    Part number? The jpg is appreciated; could you post the part number as well. Others may be wise to purchase one as well and either put it in their spares kit or just replace it. The tee is one of those guaranteed to fail items - the question is merely when.

    2013 - 2014 DVD Navigation Update?

    nothing re LR3 About a month ago, I did some checking and there was nothing new, 2012 seemed to be about all there is. Perhaps the emergence of an LR2 disc suggests hope. I wonder why they do not call it the 2014 2015 disc? I guess 2013 2014 is more accurate so they are to be encouraged.

    Brake pad wear sensor problem

    probably a sensor problem rather than pad concern Here is the link to the brake switch replacement files, but in this case, I suspect you either have worn brakes or one of the two brake wear sensors has broken, usually at where it enters the brake pad area. http://bit.ly/11MyYA6 You...

    LR3 tow wiring harness

    Bridgestone H/L tyres Yes, please keep us informed. I view is that whatever problem another owner is having means my day is coming as well. I see you are running the same Bridgestone H/L tyres as I am. I regard them as good value for the money. So far, I seem to be able to stay on the...

    LR3 tow wiring harness

    rattle some of the parking harness wiring Dirty parking sensor faces will set off the alarm but I assume yours are clean. One of the problems with the front ones is bugs smash into them. The tyre removal comment suggests to me a harness problem and the guys jostled one of the cables when...

    bluetooth

    CCF file must be modified also. A short answer is that the Wiggs D4 kit is not plug and play - at least it was not for me but in newer 3s' that already have the 2121 pairing, the kit is almost plug and play. Re your 3, do you have a flipper on the left side of the steering wheel? If so, that...

    LR3 tow wiring harness

    When the trailer is attached! I think I detect a problem. If I understand correctly, both the 3 and 4 detect a trailer when the trailer wiring is plugged into the vehicle wiring. To be more precise, the vehicle detects the existence of non LED trailer signal lights. While I am not...

    bluetooth

    Phone Bluetooth The install is not what I would call easy, particularly if you do not already have the two flipper buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Below is a link to my gallery with some files related to my upgrade from the non MOST 0000 pairing setup of my 2005 LR3 to a...

    Pendulum Weights

    Mass dampeners illegal in Grand Prix racing. The link below provides a bit of background with regards to the mass dampeners located at the rear of our 3's and 4's. It sounds like if were to race our trucks in the European Grande Prix's, we would have to remove them as they provide some sort...

    Aftermarket Block Heater

    There is some history. My relatives moved up here about a hundred years ago. William Hickock and friends ran them out of the State to the south I am told. Apparently they brought the weather with them.

    Aftermarket Block Heater

    the hard part was getting the Temro number Yes, getting the LR 120VAC heater part number was relatively easy. The hard part was crossing the LR number with a Temro number as it seems that is some sort of Temro corporate secret due to the licensing agreements. Once I had the Temro heater...

    Aftermarket Block Heater

    factory block heater for petrol 4.4L V8 This is a link to the factory brass body Temro block heater for the petrol 4.4L V8 engine. The brass body does not react negatively with the aluminum block. And yes, this is the one in my 3 and I had the dealer install it as aluminum scares me...

    06 lr3 cranks wont start when wet

    wiring splice in right hand door sill? Here is a link worth at least looking at. The post of merit is the roverguy7 post where he talks about a splice I never knew about that can give problems. In your case, it probably is not the solution, however it may be worth looking at regardless...

    installing backup camera from garmin

    something similar I did something similar but used a wired camera I got off of eBay. Running conductors up thru the inside one of the rubber wire surrounds at the top of the upper hatch door was not real easy but I lubricated the inside with WD-40 and that helped the conductors slip thru...

    Water leaking onto passenger floor

    got link to work Yes, your link blocking over ride works - just copy and paste and remove the spaces. Well done. At times, I just do not want to bother posting responses here due to the fuss required. I must say it is a good link - 10 pages plus and good pictures.
