    Thule 690XT MOAB Basket (King Rack) for Sale

    How does this attach to the roof rails? I have a LR3 HSE with the roof rails. Also, where in NJ are you?

    Extended Warranties

    Seems awfully expensive to me for the mileage you get. That's close to what I paid for my Ford ESP PremiumCare Warranty back at 52k - 5 yr/60k miles and about $4.6k. But I gather Ford (Ziegler) no longer offers that for LR's.

    Roof rack options in Canada?

    Where are you in Canada? Maybe someone on the forum can help you out if they're heading up your way. I'm on a Willys Military Jeep forum with a lot of members in Canada - the same thing happens there. That or make a special road trip to check out the US! :-)

    Who has slept in their LR3?

    OK, jumping in.... I've slept in most of my vehicles - but only when necessary. I much prefer sleeping outside under the stars. If rain is a concern factor just use a tent. Most tents, small pup-tent types, are super simple to set up. If wind isn't much on an issue you don't even have to use...

    Recent extended warranty experience?

    Having been in the automotive (sales and repair sides) 20 years ago and investments for about 5-7 years I fully endorse JWEST's recommendation of self insuring. Either way there's a gamble. As he pointed out, buying the extended warranty, which is an insurance policy, is pricey at the age of...

    New to Land Rover's....Maintenance Issues on 06' LR3?!

    Looking at that photo of the water trap that caused the exhaust valence failure I would posit that speed was a significant factor. Just saying.... I saw a bunch of Navajo's on the Reservation do something like that with an old pick-up truck and stalled it in the middle of a lake. They left...

    [For Sale] FAULTMATE MSV-2 Kit

    I'm new/unfamiliar with the diagnostic tools. I was IMing with TLT and others have also recommended a diagnostic tool - the OBDII I believe. Does your kit have everything I would need? I have a 2008 LR3 HSE and am in Boston, MA. What do you think the shipping would be here? Thanks.

    What Tires for LR3 after Pirelli Scorpion ATR 255/55R19 discontinuation

    What was the size tire you got from Costco? Every time I've gone to look there for tires for my LR3 they say they don't carry the size tire I need. But I probably need to plug in a specific tire size. I bought a set a 18" wheels to use for more aggressive treads than on my standard 19's...

    2011-2012 Land Rover Nav Map DVD Update

    Do you have any more recent than 2011-12? Or is that the most recent map upgrade? I got your 2011-12 back in 2012 and have been happy but the roads around here have changed in the last 3 years with highways being completed. Thanks!

    What Tires for LR3 after Pirelli Scorpion ATR 255/55R19 discontinuation

    IN March 2014 I put a set of Nokian WRG2 tires onto my 2008 LR3 HSE and they've been great. I live in the Boston area and last year my tires certainly got a lot of use in the snow - which is what these are primarily designed for. My local tire shop does most of the city/government vehicles in...

    Front Windshield Leak

    Not sure what the brand of replacement glass is but my Independent Shop said it's a bit smaller than the original and the glass shop set it about 1/4 - 1/2 in too low. They're going to talk to the glass shop tomorrow and work with them to get the insurance company to pay for the correct OEM...

    Safety Concern: Quick Release Hitch Receiver on LR3 #KNB500023

    I swapped out my OEM hitch for TLT's Rhino Hitch. I can't say enough about how much more I like it than the OEM hitch. It sits higher, attaches much more securely has a higher rating, and fits right over the tow plate area. Check it out and ask about it.

    Front Windshield Leak

    Apparently LR put out a bulletin on this issue. Don't know if it's an issue with replacement windshields that aren't specifically from LR or something else. But I gather it has to do with the clips there as well and the seals. They get folded under or something or else need to be replaced...

    Front Windshield Leak

    My leak is from the top of the inside of the windshield. The only water on the floor is what little drips down from there.

    Front Windshield Leak

    I had my front heated windshield replaced with the same supported by my insurance co. But, ever since I've had the occasional but persistent leak in the center and right front corner when we get a heavy rain. My glass shop has tried to fix it about 6 times - they're highly regarded in the...

    LR3 Hesitation during take offs

    I had the mechanics do what they needed. I think it covered all of that.

    LR3 Hesitation during take offs

    I've had this issue since I bought my 2008 LR3 HSE (used). Each time I took it to the dealership (while under warranty) and my independent shop they checked the transmission codes but otherwise had no idea what was causing the issue. Worse, they couldn't duplicate it. I usually run into the...

    2011-2012 Land Rover Nav Map DVD Update

    Are there any more recent Map updates? I have your 2011-12 map update but would be interested in a 2015 map update. Thanks.

    Faint metal scraping

    Sounds like the pads are worn down. I've had that sound when the brake pads are low but haven't tripped the sensor yet. Sometimes pebbles get stuck too and end up scoring the rotors. The squeaking could just be brake dust that has built up. My independent shop folks recommended washing my LR3...

    My private LR mechanic wants to move to synthetic oil. Shall I?

    Jumping into the discussion: The independent LR mechanic I've begun using says to only run European grade synthetic oil for oil changes. Looking over the oil changes done by my LR dealership I saw no difference between that and the oil used at my local Jiffy Lube. And as I write this I do...

    Third row seats!

    JWEST: Ha! :-) Yeah, could be awkward......

    Third row seats!

    HOUM_WA: I sit corrected! :-) Must be the way I've heard it, kind of like playing the old game of telephone. Or maybe my warped sense.... Either way I love my LR3 and wouldn't pull the 3rd row seats out unless I really got into back country driving with it.
