    What would you do?

    It will give specific messages. So yes, buy the IIDTool made by GAP Diagnostics. Use it to calibrate your suspension, and live happily ever after. That is your plan. Please do report back. I'd like to hear the outcome.

    What would you do?

    That isn't really a solution. Do you have a GAP Tool?

    What would you do?

    @douglastic that is exactly how I feel, too. What am I gonna go get, a 4Runner? Fine, but boring. There are so few body-on-frame 4x4s with V8s available out there. Maybe none, in fact....at least not new. So I'd rather have an old Rover than an old anything else. I love the LR3 so much, I...

    What would you do?

    I am going to be brutally honest here, it sounds like you threw parts at the EAS without really knowing what needed to be fixed. You installed new shocks and new sensors, did you calibrate it after? Is your compressor working properly? Did you check for leaks? The EAS doesn't just $hit the bed...

    Not a mechanic what do you guys think the diagnostic read means

    I know this coolant system can be a real pain to bleed air out of. That could still be your issue. Of course look for the usual signs of a failed head gasket, too.

    Not a mechanic what do you guys think the diagnostic read means

    You can ignore all those codes except the P0171 code. That is a "lean code" and usually has to do with a vacuum leak, dirty/faulty MAF Sensor....but could be a lot of different things, too. Are you noticing any actual effect on performance?

    2006 LR3 Christmas tree - dark instrument panel - then dead

    You might get your battery "load tested" to see if it's compromised. Between that, replacing as necessary, and never plugging the GAP into a running vehicle, I haven't had any repeat instances of this.

    2006 LR3 Christmas tree - dark instrument panel - then dead

    Same scenario? Did you plug in a GAP tool while the engine was running?

    Please give me advice to buy LR3 08 now or not ?

    This is a big point of contention among enthusiasts. Personally, I prefer the EAS and would not want a coil-converted vehicle; however, I do understand and appreciate the rationale for doing that conversion and in some cases it could make sense. It really just depends on what is important to you.

    I gotcha....not a huge fan of the V6, but if it suits your needs, there is no real reason not to get it.

    Not sure about the Japan Spec; unfamiliar. Does it have the same 4.4L V8 that is sold in North America?

    @djatkinson maybe on a different thread so as not to jack Mith's, you can break down the likes/dislikes of each model. I think the LR4 is cool...interior is nice and more refined. I like the LR3's exterior a lot better though, and the 4.4L is anecdotally more robust than the 5.0. I don't own...

    05 LR3 transmission trouble

    That could be almost anything that spins. Bearings, diffs, driveshaft. You likely need to get a pair of Chassis Ears on it so you can pinpoint the source. Bearings are fairly easy to test yourself, too.

    Wind noise/hum on newly acquired LR3

    Yeahhhh....but the air compressor might be so ******** loud that it masks the noise you're listening for.

    Wind noise/hum on newly acquired LR3

    Hmmmm....I have the same noise, only periodically, on my '06 but not my '05. I always thought it was the A-Pillar in certain crosswinds. The '06 has a roof rack but yours doesn't I see. My '05 is just "tighter" in general so that is how I accounted for the '06 making noise and the "05 not...

    high pitched brief squealing coming from engine

    Isn't the AC compressor more "whiny" than a "squeal?" A video with audio or just an audio clip would sure help. I know you can't always reproduce it, but....

    Hmmmm.....how old is your alternator?

    Air suspension shock replacement

    Good info, thanks. Luckily my '06 is more of a camping and light duty rig. My '05 is the built one and it has OEM shocks all the way around.

    Air suspension shock replacement

    How did you/they blow them out? Just curious what the failure mode is. I have Arnotts on my '06 and if there is something to look for, symptomatically, I'd like to know. Thanks.

    Overspeed Warning

    Maybe it's for teenagers....???

    Overspeed Warning

    I didn't realize that that was possible....even on a MY05? Who the hell would want that?
  23. Houm_WA

    Overspeed Warning

    You are going to have to be a lot more descriptive. I've had an LR3 for 17 years now and there is no "Overspeed" Warning. Take some pics or videos of what it's doing and upload them.

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    If you have that option - to swap the 19s for 18s - then you should definitely do that.

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    I think you can fit KO3s on that rim (don't quote me) but you're still going to be lacking for sidewall.
