    Bluetooth music streaming

    So the board level solution worked. It is not perfect, but it works. The board has aux in on it so you can wire it to the existing aux port and maintain factory functionality. I will probably do this in the summer. Too cold to mess with that right now.

    Hey, thanks for that! The board I picked up is 5v so ordered another, the project continues!

    Bluetooth music streaming

    Okay, so this module did not work. output was too low. I ordered a different one that showed an actual LR3 6 disc head unit in use. So I ordered that. If that doesn't work I will try the board I picked up.

    Replaced the Nav DVD drive/ computer thing under the drivers seat. Now the Nav works!! So just the front right sagging shock to resolve and Eleanor will be back to 100% health!

    All the problems happening!

    TPMS module changed out, so that is now working! Low coolant warning is not going away so tried to bleed and broke the plastic tee. Ended up ordering new coolant expansion tank and bleeder tee. Pulled interior A pillar trim to fix those too. Lots of progress!

    New Owner of 2006 LR3

    the sirius xm antenna is on the roof at the back in that shark fin. It has the GPS module there too. They do fail. you can find them on eBay. I swapped mine out 10 years ago, it has failed again so I bought one on eBay. You may be lucky and it may just be a lose connection in the housing.

    4.4 V8 Rear Coolant Leak

    When I did my water pump, the fan came off easy, I had the right tools for it, the bolt holder and the offset 36mm wrench. didn't even scuff my knuckles, but boy did it take me forever to line the threads back up and spin it back on. Reassembly was a 2 beer job!

    All the problems happening!

    So a quick update. The water pump was easy to replace. The bearing was completely shot. balls were falling out of it! I did the accessory belts at the same time. The hardest part there was the routing of the longer belt. Installed a new front cowl as the old one was grey and warped. I applied...

    All the problems happening!

    I forgot to mention mention all the spark plugs were seized. I dumped a fair amount of PB Blaster in each one and let soak, then worked back and forth gently. New plugs got anti seize and dielectric grease. I am just now realizing that the PB blaster is probably why I had all the smoke...

    All the problems happening!

    A month ago I flushed the heater core as the driver side heating was not good. Then I took it to a shop to have the coolant flushed and replaced and replaced the coolant cap. Since then no end of issues. Check engine light came on, drove to autozone and they read the code as the p420. As I...

    Battery or Alternator?

    Just to close this out, it was the battery. I had the alternator tested by a local imports place and it tested good. The bad news is the right side tie rod bushings are shot so that is getting sorted with a full alignment. Other than that the brake pads are down to 5mm so I will need to change...

    Battery or Alternator?

    Mighty, mighty clean looking beast! Moving down here was the best thing I ever did. 5 acres of land and all the outdoors to play in :) Is there a "detailing thread" it would be good to exchange ideas. I struggle with the plastic trim and the alloy wheels. Never look really good. The plastic...

    Battery or Alternator?

    I need to update that pic, but that is the cleanest my LR3 has ever been, I spent a day in and out cleaning her. Yeah, I left that street a few years ago to migrate to Bend. Mostly Beavers down here for sure. I follow both. Beavs for Baseball, Ducks for track and field both for football and...

    Battery or Alternator?

    Hahahaa! Ducks! I am originally from London, so when I moved to PDX in 2006 I was told by a neighbor "You better be a Ducks fan if you are gonna live on this street" So that made that choice for me :)

    Battery or Alternator?

    I live in Bend OR these days. Costco did pull the AGM out first, but I cheeped out and got the wet instead. The last one did last ~9 years so I am not complaining!
