I cannot myself recommend the Coopers for ice. I think they do well in the snow but are pretty weak on ice. They do make for an awesome offroad tire though!
I trust that they are pulling the codes from the computers to determine what tripped the alarms right? That will pretty much tell them what system to be looking at. I thought that it would give even more detail and narrow down exactly what the problem is but I could be wrong on that.
There are 2 reasons for not connecting the negative to the battery.
First is that the way electricity flows (electrons flow from negative to positive) by connecting directly to the frame or engine you have a quicker path for electrons to flow when jump starting.
The second and most...
Unless you imported a diesel you won't find any chip/reflash. They are non-existant for the LR3.
As for a bullbar, you have the two dealer options and also the ARB bullbar. Lots of aux lights too if you are willing to customize. I've seen em mounted on bull bars and also on roof racks...
Well like I said the Coopers are a nice tire. The only potential downside I see to them is that the sidewalls aren't as strong as the Nitto Terra Grappler which is another nice tire you can fit on your LR3.
I have the Coopers and they are a really nice tire and do well in various conditions.
I would only get them though if you are going to use them off road (more then just your forest service gravel roads.) Otherwise the Michelin Synchrones are a nicer road tire but still usable in light off roading.
The tires make a HUGE difference. The Coopers have much more aggressive tread and will not need to be aired down nearly as soon as the stock good-for-one-years.
California law says that chains or traction devices are only required on 4wd vehicles if you are entering an R3 controlled area. R3 is pretty bad. I for one wouldn't drive in an R3 area.

The manual is correct, they should be on the front wheels only.. but in all honesty, you probably won't need them anyway. The LR3 traction control is really good and should get you to the resort just fine.
It depends on how they create their octane rating. The rating for the LR3 in US octane would be about 92 which is (R+M)/2. A purely RON rating (most likely what you are seeing on the pumps there in China) would be around 97.
If you can wait a while Akebono will be releasing their Ceramic brake pads for the LR3.

On a side note, I wouldn't consider slotted/dimpled rotors "bling". The slots and or dimples actually help braking performance by permitting what is called outgassing...
