Thermostat vs. thermostat and housing replacement
Just 200 miles short of the century mark, my '05 HSE failed to reach operating temperature on the short drive home from work. No "check engine light" but better to run cold than to overheat. In anticipation of this eventual repair, several months ago I bought a new "thermostat housing... -

Fog Lamp Glass
British Parts of Utah. www.bputah.com $65.00. I had the same thing happen and looked for over a month before I found this supplier. He seems to be able to source a lot of odd parts. The part number is RC2450 -

Leather on Steering Wheel Rubbing Smooth
Re: Leather dash pad It certainly looks like the leather dash would fit. Most of the LR4 dash is very different from the LR3 but the dash pad looks the same. Of course the part numbers are different so the only people who would know are the guys in a shop that have changed out both. I have... -

Leather on Steering Wheel Rubbing Smooth
I think it was the same pattern. I don't recall the first wheel as having a very grainy feel to it. Certainly the steering wheel and the dash cover are two of the cheapest looking attributes of the LR3 interior. They replaced the plastic dash with a leather dash pad in the LR4 and the center... -

Issues with my 2006 LR3
Replace the battery! This is the single most common thread on this site. The battery drains ever so slightly when it sits for several days, the voltage drops below a threshold that causes all of the faults to register. It will still start and on the next start cycle, no faults because the... -

Leather on Steering Wheel Rubbing Smooth
I had my first wheel replaced under warranty, the leather was literally disintegrating. Mine is a 2005 and I think this was an issue with all LR's around that time period. The replacement wheel is holding up well but the leather is starting to loose the texture of the grain. I wouldn't call... -

Spark Plug Service
I have replaced the plugs. Not hard but make sure you have a selections of extensions and a universal joint. On the left side you need to remove the heat shield and on the right you might need to remove a crankcase breather valve. It's all pretty straight forward. Make sure your your plug... -

Cowl Trim replacement/trouble shooting
I have replaced my cowl trim twice now and have never had an issue with wind noise. You say the noise is audible at a stop, that would likely rule out a loose A pillar trim (black trim on either side of wind screen) but I would check it anyway. The top clip will break and it will lift away and... -

OK. NOw I'm Really Confused!!! Need Help please.
KWLR3 here. I recall that when I drained the old fluid into containers to take to the oil recycling center, the quantity drained closely matched the quantity put in. I was replacing the original fills. In any case, at about 92,000 miles I had to replace the rear differential. The looking... -

Seat Cushion Replacement
At 95,000 miles the drivers seat cushion in my '05 HSE was pretty lifeless. This is an easy DIY repair that will greatly improve comfort and give you a chance to customize the padding. I ordered a new cushion online (don't recall the price, but it was pretty cheap). This repair will take... -

lower control arms
I have an 05 HSE and this was taken from the Global Tech website manual. I can't imagine that they changed it over the LR3 run. I got about 70,000 miles out of my my first set, but then I changed out just about everything in the front suspension; upper and lower arms, tie rods and ends. Some... -

a/c drain in lr3
Almost positive that it is behind the triangular carpeted trim piece on the inside of the drivers (left) foot well. -

lower control arms
275 Nm or 203 lb. ft. Shock absorber and spring assembly: 300 Nm or 221 lb. ft Ball joint retaining nut: 115 Nm or 85 lb. ft. Good job, how many miles since they were last replaced? -

What is this hollow tube? (Image Attached)
Check both sides of the battery for a vent. I had a battery vent tube become clogged and it ruined the 4x4 control unit. It took three months and two grand to fix it. The battery can boil and spill acid directly onto the control unit. -

Transmission Range Change Not Available
Take it to a dealer and get it checked out. There are so many things that could cause those faults to occur from the simple like a bad battery or brake light switch to the slightly more expensive like a bad transfer case control unit to the very expensive like a bad locking rear differential (... -

LR3 Transfer Case Noise
Transfer Case Make: Magna Steyr (Austria???) Model: DD295 I have not heard of any t-case failures. My mechanic at the dealer said they have replaced some due to wear of the clutch plates in the limited slip. Even in that case, I suspect they will pressure you to buy a new t-case when a... -

Inverter Question
Go to a marine supply store and buy a 25 amp fuse and holder, should be able to find one at a West Marine or similar. Put it in the positive cable as close to the battery as possible. Is the inverter switched? A hard wired inverter will quickly drain the fragile LR3 battery if left on even... -

RPM Needle Fluxuating
I have inquired about and posted about this issue a couple of times in the past. My '05 does the same thing, only during warm up, low load and more pronounced the colder the weather. The dealer has no explanation, again because no codes are generated. The problem stops as soon as full... -

RPM fluctuate at idle
Mine fluctuates during warm up just as you describe and only during the last minute or two that it takes to get fully warmed up. The colder the morning temperature, the longer and more pronounced the fluctuations. I've brought it up a number of times with the dealer and they have no... -

Time for New Plugs?
Don't bother. Unless you're experiencing some fault code that is directly related to the ignition system (in which case, it might be better to have a dealer do the work) there is no reason to change the plugs. Search for other threads on the subject, I think you will find few posts that say it... -

Door Latch Replacement
This might be an issue only with '05 and maybe some "06 models. The drivers door latch can fail and you wont be able to lock the drivers door with the remote. In addition the other doors will not unlock when you turn off the ignition. This is a slowly evolving problem. I noticed the doors... -

"Range Change Not Available" Fault
I thought I had remembered another poster mentioning a problem that was related to a clogged vent tube but, I can' find it now. Here is what I found on TOPix - LTB00199NAS1 - Battery Vent Tube Blockage - New Design / Repair Procedure. I don't have a current subscription but I 'll bet it says... -

"Range Change Not Available" Fault
Re-flash did not work. A clogged battery vent tube (happened back in May but I thought I cleaned it all up) caused the connectors to the t-case module to corrode. The terminals for the box stuck in the connector when the mechanic removed the box. In addition there was obvious acid stains... -

"Range Change Not Available" Fault
I gave up and took it to the Dealer. Here is the verdict. I was told I have two problems, the first low cost one is that the Integrated Transfer Case Control module needs to be reprogramed. It is either sensing excess wear in the transfer case or due to the multiple times I disconnected the...
