    GYW DuraTrac 265 60R 18 on stock 06 LR3 HSE??

    I don't own that exact tire, but I do have that size. You will have no issues related to fitment, driving, turning, rubbing, or fitting the full size spare. (I hope you got a 5th tire. You need the spare to be the same size.) Your speedo will be only slightly off (negligible), but you have...

    Prospeed ladder installed - tailgate struts need help

    Buy MaxPow from Amazon The tailgate on my LR3 now almost hits me in the face (it calmed down a bit after a while) "Max Power, he's the man whose name you'd love to touch But you mustn't touch, his name sounds good in your ear But when you say it, you mustn't fear 'Cause his name can be said by...

    Replacing LR4 wheel arches

    Well I proved myself wrong. The Discovery 4 SDV6 Commercial could come with the black arches. Might have been an option, as some have - and some have not.

    Replacing LR4 wheel arches

    The only D4 Commercial pics I see on disco3 have painted arches - it is the interior trim that is different. I think LR3 (D3) arches are the way to go. That said, have you tried pricing UK sites? Non-genuine products are more plentiful there. I see Britpart brand aches on lrparts dot net for...

    Replacing LR4 wheel arches

    No local junk yards? Local Craigslist - someone parting out? There are usually a few posted in SoCal at any given time - not sure about your area. Then just clean em up with your choice of "black" product. I've seen a few LR4s that swapped to the black arches before on various forums. Looked...

    Replace key fob

    Of all the IIDTool uses, this procedure is very quick. No need to use a charger during. And you can't run the engine while doing this, as the key moves to specific positions.

    Replace key fob

    Yes - I have done it for my LR3. I've been using my eBay key for over a year with NO issues. It's a no brainer if you already own the IIDtool. Good luck!

    Lr3 or Disco I?

    Since day 1 of owing our LR3 I have spent $2473 on maintenance and repairs. This includes 5 new tires. We bought in Jan 2016 so that averages $700/yr for 3.5 yrs ownership. But the bulk of these expenses were in the first 2 yrs . . . the last year + has been very light. Not bad for being at...

    Looking for advice on taking a stock LR3 up a notch to be a bit more capable

    I took baby steps with the 265/60/18 Falken Wildpeak and absolutely love them. Not sure if I will go 265/65 next time or not. Biggest Pros: lighter, almost stock MPG, speedo less "off", easy fit full-size spare I am not hardcore - this is mostly my wife's kid hauler - but we have the option...

    Why is aux chord is soo quiet...

    I had just bought a new cord - new and old sound the same, and work fine swapped into the Jetta with similar input and perfectly normal sound ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I ordered this, one of the suggestions on another thread...

    Why is aux chord is soo quiet...

    I hope to find an answer as well. This bugs me but I have found no solutions. Also, it seems the AUX will not play out the front speakers - only rear. All speakers work and sound fine on other inputs.
