    Price of a replacement key

    From the dealer, you only need the metal key part, which comes with the pin. I went ahead and bought the whole unit from the dealer at $354, which the previous owner had agreed to gracioulsy pay for because the deal almost fell through since they had lost their spare key. I now know better...

    Cd's jammed in changer!!

    I would certainly try that. If all else fails, disconnect the battery for an hour or so and see if everything resets. Replacing the unit can and will be an expensive affair. Good luck.

    ANy one installed Sill Protectors

    Hi Trynian, that is exactly what I was looking for, I got a set yesterday because the dealer had a set for 50% off, which still ended up costing $214, it will be my first accessory for the LR3 . . . This will hide some of the scuffs and chips the car already has, they are heavy stainless steel...

    Help! Warning lights and Rover going crazy

    I am glad to hear about these experiences, especially with a relatively happy ending. Being a first time LR owner, we have learned to expect the worse. I am now having more confidence, knock on wood, that the cars are no worse than any other and miles better than many others in most aspects.

    Swapping 2008 rear lights with 2010

    For those of you who are interested. There exists an LED rear lamp kit for the LR3, the part number is LR008052, not sure about the cost, but there you have it, an official conversion kit, or so it seems. I am thinking of going that route, it is a cheap way of convincing myself that I have the...

    ANy one installed Sill Protectors

    The dealer's service Department just told me about a "killer" deal they have going on the Sill Protectors which I will be buying ASAP, the part number is EBN500041. They look very nice and I believe are necessry, especially for someone who has kids and does not have or intends to buy the super...

    Source for Sparkle Finish Paint

    Not much info is turning up. I would tend to agree that the paint on the 18" is different from the paint on the 19" which I have, it is very metallic. I did find a code on the net that had Sparkle wheel paint on it, will need to double check for what size wheels. Why do we have to go on a...

    How do I fit a 2 5/8' tow ball

    Hi Ryan, can you please provide me with the part number for your LR hitch, they sell three or four that I know of for the LR3 from the accessory catalog that I have in front of me. The hitch that I am looking at in the catalog is LR007484, which also looks as it may reduce the exist angle. The...

    Whats up with the lifetime Auto Transmission Fluid?

    I just want to be sure that I am not short changin' the transmission. If that is what is meant by "lifetime" then it is my bad. That would make sense then. WIll check the maintenance manual and check with the dealer come next service.

    How do I fit a 2 5/8' tow ball

    I am researching to see whether I can use this size ball on the OEM hitch receiver which I do not have yet. Looks like my est bet is to go with the Curt hitch which is priced much more reasonably. Which wiring kit do you have? 4,5, or 7 pin?

    Whats up with the lifetime Auto Transmission Fluid?

    How can a mechanical part, which will experience daily wear and tear, not have its lubricant changed? Is it a ploy by the maker (and I am not saying that it is) to change transmissions every few years by the owners? Will Land Rover pick up the cost of a new transmission if poor lubrication was...

    Source for Sparkle Finish Paint

    Ah the curb wheel rash, I may have missed this one during my pre-purchase visual inspection of the car, but there it is on one of the rear wheels, a small area of about two inches on the end tip of the wheel. Being anal, this has to be repaired or else I will suffer many sleepless nights. Just...

    Rejuvinating Interior Trim

    It looks like those who bought used were lucky enough to have perfect interiors :). Non-the-less, I worked on the interior this weekend and it loks a 10 time better than when I first bought the car . . . . It is a lot of work but worth it. Any one repair minor curb rash on the wheels?

    Price of a replacement key

    Just confirmed that the dealer can indeed order just the metal part of the remote unit (where the key is cut), that was new to me. Now we know once can save a lot of money by doing the research beforehand. Thanks.

    Non OEM Hitch Choices

    Thats exactly what I was looking for guys. I am also considering the OEM if I can fit the tow ball size I am looking for. I guess I will need to order the wiring regardless of the hitch type and I assume the OEM part is best for this. Do they come with a 4, 5 or 7 pin? My trailer has 5 pins...

    Been struggling with this for a week or so now. I tow a 6,000 lb boat trailer and I need to have a 2 5/8" ball. Does LR sell a htch for the LR3 that would allow me to change the size of the tow ball? Thanks.

    Non OEM Hitch Choices

    Hi All. I was wondering if anyone installed a hitch other than OEM. The cost is reasonable at around $150-170, they attach to the frame rails. How do they look from the back of the truck? Are there any pros/cons to installing a non OEM hitch? Thanks.

    LR3 in the Sand

    Hi jesus_man, thanks for your recommendations. I do have lots of experience driving in the very soft sand in both old and recent Toyota cruisers and FJs. Having said that, I have no experience in a Land Rover, either new or old. Tires do make a huge difference and the last thing one needs are...

    Price of a replacement key

    Called one of the recommended suppliers who stated that they only sell the remote but not the key :mad: The gentleman said that they remote key is made up of three components, the remote unit, the key, and the pin the holds the key to the remote. He advised me to call the dealer to see if they...
