    Replacing the rear differential??

    The dealer was very vague about why the diff had to be replaced. It did eliminate the jerking when taking off in either 1st or 2nd gear. But now I notice clicking sounds when I come to a complete stop and shift into park. Is there any relation here? The clicking started soon after the rear...

    Replace tires and bushings together??

    Thanks for your response. When I have the alignment done, I'll have the dealer check the bushings. I was going by the fact that the GYs had uneven wear. It was my understanding from many past complaints that the bushings were the main reason for uneven tire wear. Or was it the GYs only...

    Ford ESP Warranty now available for all LR3s still under warranty

    I purchsed the ESP warranty from Jack at the end of October for 2000 usd with a 50 usd deductible. It covers 6 years, 100k. From what i recalled, the rates went up after November 1 or around there. I'm content with the coverage and certainly the cost..

    Replace tires and bushings together??

    Yeah, I kept them b/c I had not made up my mind as to whether I would keep the 19" rims or replace them with 18" (lots of tire selection here). I decided that I'll keep the 19s...I might consider switching them out if the ATRs do not produce. MBA, do you or anyone else know when the...

    Replace tires and bushings together??

    Greetings, Finally at 31k miles, I am replacing the GYs with 19" Scorpion ATR tires. I do have a lot of wear on the GYs. I'm thinking about replacing the bushings too when I take it to LR for the alignment. Will replacing the bushings make a major difference in preserving tire wear? I...

    Awesome LR3 Video!

    Does anyone know who makes the roof rack on this LR3? It's not a Brownchurch rack. I like how it covers the entire roof area.. Thanks.

    Replacing the rear differential??

    Wow! I had no idea it was an issue. Thanks PicnSav for the link. I read the disco3 site often but must have missed that read. Well, now I don't feel so bad knowing I'm not the only one.. Thanks everyone for the responses.

    Replacing the rear differential??

    What a morning... what was supposed to be a 30 minute oil change turned out to be over 2hrs. The service guy said that when the mechanic test drove my car after changing the oil, he noticed a "clunking"sound and said that the rear differential needs to be replaced. He said that this is a...

    Extended Warranty

    My purchase was identical.. Paid for the ESP warranty by phone and within a week, received the contract info and receipt. It is not necessary to have your LR checked out anywhere before purchasing the ext. warranty through ESP.

    Extended Warranty

    From my past experience inquiring about extended warranties through the LR dealer, they told me that they have to do an oil change and have a check list to go through to determine if there are any issues with them. It seems that buying this warranty online from ESP seems too easy... i read...

    Just noticed a new HSE tire at Tire Rack

    Yeah, I've noticed that the MTR tires are quite popular in the UK. However, I'm considering the Pirelli ATRs mainly b/c I'll be on the road more often than mud/technical trails. This is crazy to mention but I'm running on the stock goodyears with just under 25K and hoping to go to at least...

    Musings...

    I agree about doing the courses. This is a great opportunity to experience the limits in various types of terrain. Knowing its limits will be helpful in different situations. Now that we're in Miami, my experiences will consist of more overland travel through n. florida and up the east coast...

    TDV6 in LR3 in future?

    I agree totally about the ECU... it would probably be easier to simply move into a new ride with the TDV6.... Just found an article from trucktrend.com when the TDV6s were test driven in Argentina. This is a great article and mentions that they might be available in the US in 2010. I've...
