    Satellite radio problems, & AM radio problems

    The only solution for the Sat Radio issue is A) deal with it, B) turn it off or C) get a different vehicle as far as I am concerned. It's very frustrating that such a great vehicle has such a crappy Sat Radio & Bluetooth connectivity. My 2008 LR3 was as bad as my 2010 LR4. I rent vehicles all...

    Question for LR4 owners who upgraded from an LR3

    YES! The LR3 has more of a "plastic" feeling and the noises associated to it than the LR4. I couldnt believe how much quieter the LR4 is compared to my old LR3, and I had very few miles on it.

    Another Good LR4 Deal?

    I just bought last week a spotless 2010 White HSE with the 7 seat option and cold climate package and ipod connector and 9000 miles for $44,000.00. It has 37 months left on the warranty. I think it was a great deal here in WI. They also took back my 2008 LR3 Se for $3000.00 less thyan I bought...

    Sat Radio Problem

    I had a similar problem with my 2008 LR3 when I bought it and had to activate the service. Service guy disconected the battery and voila! Simple enough, but you will think your service dept. tried that already.

    2007 Land Rover LR3 SE towing boat

    I pull my 2007 21" Larson all over the with no problems. I have a 2008 V8 SE and I can tell you that it is a dream of a vehicle to pull a boat with. This is the only vehicle I had that my wife don't mind driving while pulling the boat. My boat w/ trailer is 4800#. Add to that 35 gallons of gas...

    Front LIcense Plate Holder?

    2 (1 1/4") screws work good. I used galvanized screws, wood thread, screws. I installed the front holder on my truck after the cops would not give me another "warning". I got away with it for just over two years. The holder is shaped in a way that you dont have to worry about the vertical...

    Looking to buy LR3 - a few questions

    Ok here are my two cents.... I bought this vehicle (2008 SE), my first LR, primary for two reasons; 1) I think is a beautiful beast and 2) to pull my boat. The only off roading I do is to take the kids to soccer (there's a gravel approach to the parking lot). I am expecting obscene maintenance...

    To black the grill or not to black the grill?

    To be honest, the black one looks like it doesnt belong there, like you couldn't afford to paint it. I have the same exact vehicle and I think that the silever looks better. Take a look at the chrome, I wish I had an LR4, grill that I replaced mine with. But, remember, beauty is in the eye of...

    First Jeep copies LR and now Ford too.

    As owners of LR's we should be flattered that the other auto makers are copying details like that. And to be fair, I think that LR should copy/buy/steal the blue tooth technology from Ford, we all know that LR BTooth is a poor pathetic attempt to accomplish something that even Kia has been able...

    Clear Bra

    I just checked the body shop estimate and it was $47 for the "Land Rover" letters. I just did a quick google for it and found it for $50, rover connection I think it was.

    Clear Bra

    The body shop that did the work bought them from our local LR dealer part dept.

    Clear Bra

    I just replaced the hood on my LR3 after killing bambi. The letters were about $40 and they come as a template. The come off real easy but for that little money is not worth the headache of removing the old adhesive and then try to get the aligned straight.

    Looking for input from LR2 owners!

    My wife leased a Volvo XC-90 for three years but she is currently leasing an Acura TL. As a 2008 LR3 owner, I have the joy of driving a LR2 loaner often, what can I say? We love the little truck, as compared to the LR3. In 16 months we are either leasing or buying one. Good gas mileage...

    Towing - Who has towed what?

    I pull a 5000# dry weight 21' boat all over lake country here in WI. I bet I have an aditional 1000# worth of fuel and misc. crap in the boat. I had no problems at all with the LR, actually is a beautiful easy pull even on steep hills. I get about 13 mpg average pulling the boat as long as I...

    LR3 Body Panels & Exhaust?

    The hood is 100% aluminum as the tailgate. So if you get an dent you wont be able to repair it the traditional way, drill hole and pull, since it will rip the material. A new hood is about $1600 new and good luck finding a used one in good shape. I just had my hood replaced after hitting Bambi...

    Dead LR4

    I do like the push start on the LR4 but something has to be said about the previous models rechargable key fobs. Besides, I went swiming with the key in my pocket, ok I fell off the pier, and it is true, the damn thing is water sealed good. Cant imagine that the new one will be ar "hardy".
