    How many years did you get out of your OEM battery?

    CMG Rover, how did you get your battery replaced under warranty? I thought that was considered like brakes, a user end item to replace. I'm not sure if my battery has been replaced, don't think so, but will keep an eye on it this Winter.

    VIDEO: LR3 Front and Center Console Removal and HAM Radio Install

    Very interesting. Preference for HAM vs. CB? Better range?

    Nokian Winter Tires

    The WR-GR2's were the ones highly recommended to me and what I'm going to eventually go to when my current ones are shot.

    Nokian Winter Tires

    My local tire guy strongly recommended Nokian tires, the WR2's I think. This was last December/January. He recommended them as the best all around tire for snow, wet weather, etc - which we get a lot of here in New England - and dry pavement. They weren't just a snow tire and are what I'm...

    any detailed instructions for changing oil & filter

    Bump on this topic. Still trying to find info # of quarts/pints used for oil change, filter number, best oil filter to use, etc. Comments? I'm going to be doing my own oil changes going forward - too expensive at the LR Dealer.

    Tire pressure monitoring & new tire install

    I had my 2008 LR3 tires replaced in January at NTB. No issues with the TP sensors. I did purchase a back-up set just in case down the road....

    2006 lr3 roar sound as you accelerate

    I've noticed this occasionally as well. In my case it's clogging of the air filter and air intake, usually from sand or dust. Clean that out and you're good to go. So check your air intake as well as the other suggestions.

    LR3 and iPhone - bluetooth

    I have a 2008 LR3 HSE and use my iPod all the time on it. Yes, there is an AUX port in the rear passenger compartment behind the center console arm rest. Plug the AUX cable in there and into your iPod and you've got full music on the AUX (Satellite 3) station. Also, you can get a power...

    Extended Warranties

    About $4400 for 5 yr, 60k miles and a $50 deductible. Yes, covers the whole suspension, except for normal wear-tear items like brakes. From what I've seen it's the best coverage around for the money. I could have spent more with my dealer for a like-factory warranty but it wouldn't have...

    Range Rover Sport military discount amount?

    Sounds like a heck of a deal and arrangement. Worth looking into in a few years. Thanks.

    OT: A offroad truck that makes the LR3 look like a Mini...

    When Napoleon, and Hitler later, invaded Russia they contended with Russia's two favorite Generals - General Winter and General Spring. The mud across Russia, particularly in the Spring, is incredible. I wonder how some of those tanker trucks would handle that water crossing when empty...

    Extended Warranties

    Just got the 5 year/60k mile PremiumCare ESP from Zielger Ford. What they didn't mention is that there is a fee for the inspection. However, all done and in force. Nice peace of mind.

    Best cb antenna mount

    Is there a whip antennae length that is ideal on the LR3? I know with our military vehicles we have a big bracket to mount them to and then have tie down clips in the back to keep them from taking out wires, etc. I've seen pics with antennae's mounted on the bumper, probably from a hard point...

    LR3 Skid Plates Design/Sizes etc.

    Nothing is impossible, just depends on the work and expense you're willing to go through. It's an interesting idea, but as noted, will require some prototyping. You could always do an initial mock-up in cardboard to get the size, shape, bends, anchor points, etc.

    7,000 Mile Oil Change?

    Interesting. Any difficulties in pulling the oil filter? Does the K&N make a big difference?

    LRT What Happened?

    I like! A bit more versatile for US uses.

    It has finally happened!

    I concur with the mothballs concept. When we close up our summer house we throw mothballs, and more effectively moth-flakes, around the house. That has gone a long way towards keeping the bastards out and keeping bugs down too. Try the moth-flakes scattered around to help drive them away...

    How big is the LR3 Offroad community?

    I think the challenge is also places to go. In the Eastern US, especially up here in the New England area, there are a lot of places off- limits due to environmentalist action. I think there are some clubs and groups that run organized trail runs but I don't hear very much from them on this...

    LR3 Tires

    Price/cost being an issue these days I went with the deal on the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros. $885.00 for everything, out the door! I get that the Pirelli's wear faster so two things: I'll drive a bit less on the LR and save up for a set of Nokian WR G2 tires - better in the winter here my local...

    I'm using Safari. It didn't do this until the last week or so. However, I can click directly onto the forums and go directly in.

    LandRoverWorld.org is in new ownership.

    Congrat's and good luck in this new year. Also, I keep having to log in every time I come back to the site, something about permissions. In the past the site would immediately recognize my log in ID and password (Remember Me) and plug me straight in. Let me know if I need to do anything on my...

    LR3 Tires

    OK, so talked to a couple more sources and was recommended by my local tire shop - very trusted - to go with the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros'. They're a name brand for one thing. However, my guys - Montvale Tire - can't even buy the Pirelli's or Nitto's at the price I was quoted. Once I have the...
