    TDV6 in LR3 in future?

    I'm looking ahead into the future and the price of fuel. Does anyone have information about the possibilities of switching out the 4.4 V8 with the euro TDV6 or even a Tdi- given that it complies with US emissions? Will it be possible in 5-10 years to import the engine to the states? I realize...

    Just noticed a new HSE tire at Tire Rack

    The ATRs are new for the US for 19" wheels. I've read about them on UK forums that the ATRs are similar to the BFG AT tires. They are supposted to be quiet, have an approx. 40,000 mile tread life and offer reasonable off-road traction. The sidewalls are stronger too. I'm considering...

    Love my second HSE...but bluetooth is waring me down!

    Hi Francine, Welcome! My razr type Sanyo Katana 2 syncs to the bluetooth.. It is an issue having to input each number. However, I simply connect to the BT then dial through my phone... so I'm using it strictly for talking purposes... not for phone storage. Your phone should do the...

    LR3 Tailgate Mat

    I was thinking of how can the tailgate carpet be switched out for a piece of rubber because mine is starting to stain from dragging a stroller out of the back. I don't believe there is anything available but if you do find a solution, keep me posted.

    Removing LR3 badges

    Nice. It looks very clean. However for those who have kept their tags, has anyone switched out the "LR3" tag for "Discovery 3?" If so, where do I look for the "Discovery" tag? I'm guessing Ebay might have it available.... Thanks.

    Looking for spare 18" wheel...

    I was told the same thing by the dealer....not to rotate the tires. The statement just doesn't sound right... I plan to rotate the tires with the full-size spare every 5000 miles.

    Waterproof seat covers

    Thanks for the input. I called LRNA today to see what they had to say about the covers staining the leather seats. The rep told me the dealer could answer that question in detail. The seat covers were available when I called the dealer a week ago for prices. As for the airbags, I've read...

    Waterproof seat covers

    Does anyone have experience with the waterproof seat covers on their LR3s? I have the alpaca beige seats and want to "kid-proof" them from food, candy, sand from the beach, and any other foreign element that might create wear or serious stains. I condition the leather every couple of months...

    Rack suggestion...

    As for feedback about Thule and Yakima racks: I've used Yakima products for 15 years now. I've used all of their tower systems based on roof requirements for the cars I've owned and have used most of the accessories too. I have no issues with the brand. Their 3 year warranty is great...

    I think my jeans are bleeding on my leather seats...

    I recently used Lexol cleaner and conditioner on my alpaca seats. I too had the blue stains on my seats. After the clean and conditioning, the seats look great and feel softer. The stains are gone. To maintain the condition of the leather, especially in warm climates, it is recommended to...

    Extended Warranties

    I'm planning on buying the extended warranty before I leave Dallas in July. You can try the Dallas, Austin or Frisco LR dealers. they are owned by the same group. They didn't say that rates would increase at any particular time. Just buy the warranty as early as you can. These are the...

    Who stands on their roof??

    Thanks for the responses. I figured that the glass was not strong enough to stand on directly. However, if a rack is mounted to the roof rails, including a Hannibal tent, then it is perfectly safe.

    Who stands on their roof??

    I'm curious to know if it's possible to stand on the glass roof? How much weight can it withstand? I know that with roof rails and cross bars, the rack can hold approx. 150 lbs. but that is with movement. I weigh 200 lbs. and without a roof rack, I'd like to stand up top to shoot photos...

    Heavy Duty Package

    Recently, I picked up a 2006 HSE and it has the full-size spare tire. So just to confirm, I should have the HD package, right? Any possibility to have only the full size spare and not the differential? This is a stupid question but if I do, what is the indicator in the shifter area...

    What is the beep?

    The speed varies from 20mph to over 50mph when it beeps... I checked the speed alarm and it is off. I'll check the time for hour change too. Can that shut off? I'll have to look in my manual. Thanks for your help.

    What is the beep?

    So after reviewing all of the posted suggestions about the PDC, the temperature gauge, the "i" messages, or other icons. I'm still hearing beeps without any indicators on the dash. I hear 2-3 beeps under normal driving conditions without being close to vehicles or objects, above 45...

    What is the beep?

    It has front and rear pdc but why would it happen at a light without a car in front of me? There were no other icons or warning lights that go on simultaneously. However, there is an "i" that appears when i scroll through the trip computer. I don't know how to access the i to read the...

    What is the beep?

    I'm adding new beeps to my original posting. On 4 occasions at a stop light, I heard 3 beeps in a row. I did not see any indicator icons. The temp is now 57 degrees... :confused: What is this?

    What is the beep?

    Yes, that's possible. There's only one beep. I've noticed the star next to the temp gauge at 39 degrees each time it goes off... I cannot believe it's so cold in texas.. Thanks!

    What is the beep?

    Greetings! Has anyone experienced a "beep" while driving (regardless of speed) or taking off from a stand still? I did not see any unusual indicator lights on the dash or anywhere else. I've noticed this 5x in the past 2 days and while I test drove it before purchasing it. Note: I...
