    Exhaust Mod

    Not the mufflers, only the piping that drops down to go under the diif and part of the frame. Take a look at the bottom of your LR3 back by the diff and you will see where. Probably even see some scrapes or dents if you have done any medium to difficult off-road trails down here. Even with...

    Exhaust Mod

    Thanks guys, it is far from a perfect cover all situations. The idea here was to make them flexable to adjust for different situations. Down here in Southern Cal most of our off-road adventures involve boluder strone trails where our pipes get banged up. In other areas that are more about...

    Exhaust Mod

    At the request of several, posting this to show what some of us have been doing to our exhaust for heavier off-road use. As many know on the LR3 and the RR Sport the exhaust hangs low after the rear diff and can get banged up or pinch. Some of our friends have cut theirs off just after the...

    Being in Access Mode for extended periods?

    Only thing that has happened to mine is I slept in it on a camping trip in acess height with the wheels on slightly uneven terrain. At first start up in the morning a suspension fault popped up and said standard height only available. Turned it off and restarted and it was never to be seen...

    What lift do I want? Please help!

    Thanks, I just folks would like to know what I had discovered. The rods are a good alternative just beware of maxing them out. Giving yourself a little room for the occasional unintended extended mode is really what I was after. They are fun to play with. :biggrin: The exhaust mod I did...

    Help convincing wife in taking LR3 offroad

    Can always try and get in on a LR wheels event that a dealer does for a start. At least you can say you are going so LR can show more how the vehicle works. Then come back all excited with amazing stories of how well the vehicle perfomed and how much fun it was.

    MODE button on steering wheel question

    You are right, I checked it. There is actually another Audio Sytem only manual that mentioned a little but no real detail. I have the hi-line audio unit and I double checked it and I was off a bit, it works like this. Whatever the last radio band selected FM1 or 2, or AM1 or 2 the...

    Interesting way to access the Extra, EXTRA level!

    For the hardware and single vehicle LR3 software license it ran about $1250 including $91 to ship to CA U.S. and a 3% CC surcharge of $38. But you can switch it to another LR for a small admin fee if you get a new one or want to sell it.

    Software update a must for all !!!

    Yes you can, it is like flashing new firmware to a computer component. I haven't messed with it much other then to check if I had the latest releases but to my understanding the software they use is from the dealer. Sometimes it takes a bit of time before they get a new release after it is...

    Interesting way to access the Extra, EXTRA level!

    It is a great tool if you can justify spending the money on it. I love having it, it has opened up a whole new world of understanding how the sytems in the car work. And it is just plain fun to tinker with. :biggrin:

    What lift do I want? Please help!

    I agree with duckdive but also for other reasons. My testing has shown 12mm maxes out the suspension and also increases possibilty of suspension faults. The reason is that each sensor only has a certain operational range and depending on each sensors calibration number to make the car...

    MODE button on steering wheel question

    Should be, mine does Radio, AM or FM depending on where last left it before you hit the mode button, CD and then either Aux or SAT depending on where you last left that in. I think it talks about it in tha manual also.

    Interesting way to access the Extra, EXTRA level!

    We have been doing this for years and have posted on here and the other forums. Actually it ends up not being very pratical as the car will drop out of extended mode as soon as go 8 mpg so you have to jump in out of the car alot to do it this way. What we end up doing most of the time...

    silent armour

    Yes I know all about the rod mod and how it works and what the new height is. Traveled over many offroad scenarios in super extended mode and even with only 31.7 " tires some rubbing occures. You probably didn't do anything on the LR Thousand Oaks Wheels event to cause full articulation or...

    silent armour

    Probably will be getting quite a bit of rub on the front of the rear wheel well as the wheel articulates up, even with a rod mod. Tires greater then 31.5 inch in diameter always do.

    silent armour

    A little of both. But the computer will be off some also. When I drive 300 miles on the odometer the gps tells me I went about 330. When I do the math I usually come up with about 2 to 3 miles more per gallon then the car computers says.

    Wheels, Rack, HPV questions

    Sorry to hear of your accident and the ones that didn't make it, but glad you are ok. I would rather have a placement vehicle myself.

    Just fixed (hopefully) a leaking sunroof...

    For the vent, you have to lift up then pull the bottum out.

    happy ending

    Was it the brake light switch on the pedal? I went back through old notes on the subject and not sure what the break light sensor would be. The switch is known as a possible cause for this issue.

    Mine has alway had it, but mostly over 80.

    happy ending

    The lower cost fault code reader would only read and clear faults which essentially would be ressetting the sensor fault. If the fault persist ie the bad break light sensor, it will come back, but it would also tell you that the break sensor was bad. The higher cost units like MSV-2 allows...

    happy ending

    Sounds like it was not bump stop limp mode, but he was stuck in access mode not the bump stops. Using the rod allowed him to run in access mode but at normal height to get home. Weather they would prove usueful for any other fault that may occur is another discussion. In the long run you...

    Child safety seat locations?

    The center seat does have a third top latch anchor point by the way and you can put a toddler seat in the middle with no issue using the seat belt and the overtop latch anchor.
