Cracked Dash
My vehicle is at the dealer right now getting the dash replaced. The "fill in" service advisor told me that they have already replaced five dashes on '05 LR3's and have "many more" on order. The problem has only been seen on LR3's in South Florida and Texas and only on 05's. The cracks start... -

Annoying noise from seat
My '05 HSE made a horrible racket from the area between the passenger side and middle second row seats. It was the black plastic trim that covers the the hinge for the back and "seat" of the seat. I glued some furniture felt to the opposing faces. Problem solved. -

Stuck in "phone" mode......help!?!?!
The same thing happened to my '05 HSE and I can't remember how I "fixed' it. If I pulled the green phone button on the wheel, it would go into phone mode and stay there for about 15 minutes. Nothing would work on the radio. I can't remember if it was a problem with the truck or my phone. I... -

Transfer Case
Call Land Rover North America and explain the situation. I have a feeling that the sale of LR to Tata came with some stipulations about out of warranty repairs. In addition, if it weren't for repair work at the dealerships, LRNA would surely see some of it's dealers go belly up. My '05 LR3... -

need some help with trip planning to yellow stone
Two summers ago our family did just the trip you are planning. You didn't indicate your start point, we left Key West FL and went to Taos, NM, Mesa Verde, Silverton, Telluride, Ouray (all via 4x4 trails), Northern Utah, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, Custer State Park SD and then home. Verdict: we... -

Cracked Dash
I have an '05 HSE purchased new in November of 2005. I have used a windshield sun shade from day one but, it happened anyways. I have about six cracks, each about one inch long radiating outward from the the de-mister vents on each end of the dash. The first one appeared about a month ago and... -

HDC Fault, NAV Memory and Battery Lifespan
Yesterday there was the first hesitation on the engine turning over... Time to buy the battery (an Interstate model ???? $152.00). The change was immediate. The NAV screen now stays lit while the engine cranks and I don't need to hit the "AGREE" button again. It remembers my home zone and... -

HDC Fault, NAV Memory and Battery Lifespan
Starting about three months ago, my '05 HSE with 56,000 miles began some erratic behavior on start up. At first, the NAV system would shut down when the key was turned to the start position. Not long after, the NAV system would reset to default settings after start up, and now I get an... -

H3 H3t
My wife and I rented an H3 for a week of camping and 4x4ing in Death Valley (you gotta love Hertz for renting 4x4's). While I was impressed with some basic aspects of it's off road ability, it was woefully underpowered (might be better with the new Alpha version with a V8) and got only about... -

Hurricane Ike
I have to apologize. I sounded like a jerk with regard to my comment about not being able to drive it in a month. I have an LR3 because my insurance company totaled my Disco II after it was in contact with salt water from a hurricane we had (Key West, Hurricane Wilma '05, nine foot tidal... -

Hurricane Ike
If it was standing salt water, you'll be lucky if you can still drive it in a month. -

Towing - Hitch Weight
The dynamics of trailer towing are pretty complicated and the limits in the manual are as much to protect Land Rover as they are you. Having greater tongue weight is generally better until you over load the rear axle on your LR3. Having negative tongue weight from, say, not pulling a boat all... -

Help - Electric brake controller Install
Turn on your lights. I don't know if this is a safety measure, you should have at least your parking lights on when towing or if it is some flaw in the LR3 wiring but, the brake controller seems to be powered through the light circuit. No lights on no power to the brake controller. Reply and... -

LR3 hitch height
Look at the thread for "Electric Brake Control and Towing". I have been using a hitch with a 4 1/2" drop TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. I have a Starcraft rough terrain pop-up and have towed for over 6000 miles without issue. Given a choice between having a trailer that doesn't sit level or having the... -

Electric Brake control, and towing
I tow a similar Starcraft version of the Fleetwood E2. As stated above, any brake controller will work and the wiring is the same as an F150. It takes about 5 minutes to install the controller at the bottom of the knee panel. Unfortunately, there is not much extra room here if you are wearing... -

Cross Country Vacation - LR3 Style
I get lots of comments on the cases. They are StormCase M2700. I bought them on-line, they are a slightly cheaper version of the classic Pelican Case. They are about the same size as a suitcase, are watertight and come with pretty substantial clasps. I think they were about $200 each with... -

Cross Country Vacation - LR3 Style
Last summer (I'm only now loading all of pictures on the computer) our family took a five week vacation via my LR3. Leaving home in Key West, Fl we drove to Taos, NM to hike up Mt Wheeler, over to Mesa Verde to see the ruins. Ophir pass to Telluride, Imogene pass back over (Black Bear Pass was... -

Expedition Rack
Any Thule product that mounts on their "Rapid Tracker" bars will also fit in the cross bars of the LR Expedition Rack. I mount four Thule 599xtr Big Mouth bike racks on my Expedition rack. Make sure you buy the additional adapters that allow that bike carrier to mount to the Rapid Tracker... -

"Cruise Control Not Available"
Similar issues with my '05 HSE. After long periods of not using the cruise control, the computer "forgets" that it's there. If I go a couple of months without using it, the cruise control wont turn on. Pull off the road, turn off the the key and restart and it works again every time. After... -

Anyone use Forever black products?
The color change depends on how faded you have let the surface become before you treat. Technically, there are no shades of black but,,, I think, if you have a new vehicle, there wouldn't be any noticeable color change. But, if your vehicle is exposed to the sun and you treat it after six... -

Anyone use Forever black products?
I use their trim treatment and it's the only thing that seems to work in the intense So. Florida sun. I previously had a DII and had the dealer replace (under warrenty no less) all 4 wheel arch mouldings after three years, the plastic had litteraly started to disingrate. After the replacement... -

LR3 brake warning reset
I just replaced all 4 wheelsets with new pads and wear sensors. At the last service the dealer said I would be due for brakes at the next stop. Knowing what the dealer charges, I elected to do it myself. At 39,300 miles they where about 1/2 worn. I can't say that I noticed any change in the...
