    Specialists near Canton, MA/Manchester, NH?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a Land Rover repair shop in the Melrose, MA area? Don’t really trust dealerships in general after having worked at one for a bit. I’m also not happy at all with the LR shop I’ve been going to. Thanks.

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    I'm looking for a new brush bar or light bar but am having trouble finding them. The A-Frame one on your LR3, did you get that recently or some time ago? Is that the winch-compatible model? I have the tubular steel wrap-around brush bar and it's rusting through on the lower support curves...

    LR3 Brush Bar

    I have a 2008 LR3 HSE with the OEM tubular steel wrap-around brush bar. However, the brush bar is rusting out badly on the bottom curves from snow and salt in New England. I'm looking for a replacement - either the OEM wrap-around tubular steel brush bar of the A-frame winch compatible OEM...

    Time for new tires...

    How do the Cooper's compare to the BF Goodrich KO2 tires? I have a set of 18" rims I'm going to eventually mount more aggressive tires on for camping, off road, snow, etc.

    LR3 Differential Options

    Hey, just seeing this. I had both of my diffs replaced by LR while under the OEM warranty. Can't help on that score but check with member TLT on this forum. He and I have chatted over the last few years about a few things and I seem to remember he also has replacement differentials and such...

    Problems With the LR3

    I think that's entirely up to you. As you replace parts you're, in a sense, rebuilding the vehicle. It does that there's a knock-on effect - replace one thing and something else goes. It boils down to your budget and patience, in my opinion. At some point you'll feel that you're not getting...

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Hi, been poking around looking for a T-Maxx 12000 but not sure I'm finding them or the right one. The company's out of Australia, right? Do they have a US vendor? Thanks.

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Awesome! I have 2 Australian Shepherds. Great dogs! I was admiring the bumper and winch set up. I've been debating about getting a winch for years, since I bought my LR3 used in 2008. I really like the set up you have there and now that my LR3 isn't my commuting vehicle I'm thinking of...

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Border Collie or Aussie? I am not familiar with the kind of winch you have. When I bought my LR3 HSE used the dealer recommended the Warn 9500+. What about the rope or wire on your winch - wire or synthetic rope? And is that a custom fitted bumper? How much do you drive your LR3 or is it...

    Adding wood interior trim on 2006 HSE - my experience with an aftermarket kit

    Looks great. I'm wondering what can be done to refinish the wood trim if it's not too bad. I tend to think some buffing or light sanding with a very fine grit and then careful application of sealant like polyurethane would work. But I can see that if it's too far gone, replacing is a cleaner...

    Carrying a Canoe - Roof of LR3

    I plan to take this from NJ to MA and then not worry about it - no more schlepping.

    Carrying a Canoe - Roof of LR3

    The canoe is coming from my parents - inheriting due to forced downsizing of their home. I have the foam blocks and am used to carrying it on the roof of, granted, my Chevy Tahoe. The positioning of the LR3 rails and crossbars doesn't lend itself well to this. I like the trailer hitch bed...

    TPMS threshold PSI question

    Hey all, I was reading some of these posts as I had a recent issue with my TPMS sensor. Has anyone had their TPMS valve stems break off? I've had two that have done this now resulting in me losing all the air in the tire blowing out the valve stem. The issue seems to be the aluminum used in...

    Carrying a Canoe - Roof of LR3

    OK, trying to figure out the best way to carry a 17ft Grumman aluminum canoe on my 2008 LR3. I've got them side-by-side and I don't like where the cross bars are to the balance point of the canoe and the positioning of the gunwale cushion pads. Suggestions? I can't move the forward cross bar...

    Extended Warranties

    I think at this point it makes sense to self-insure. Set aside whatever your monthly payment amount would be into a separate account and cover your own costs.

    New to LR - considering LR3

    ALCON: I have a 2008 LR3 HSE that I'm a huge fan of. I bought it used from the dealership in 2010 so used the balance of the factory warranty. I know have the Ford PremiumCare ESP (no longer offered) until around 115k miles. That said, I've taken very good care of it and proactively had work...

    Burning smell after a snowy drive

    On my LR3 and other SUVs I've driven I've gotten a burning/heated metal smell after something similar and determined it's the road salt and water boiling off of the exhaust pipes and heated engine block. I'm not sure I would drive the highway at high speeds using the snow-mode but I admit I...

    Thule 690XT MOAB Basket (King Rack) for Sale

    Thanks for the pictures but do you have something showing a layout of the parts, to see what they are and instructions on how it fits together? Maybe laid out in the garage? It looks like a great basket and it's all there just want to visualize it better. What's the weight load? I would be...

    charlie: Do you have current pictures of the basket and the accessories/parts you have with it? I think we're interested but would have to coordinate pick up arrangements.
