    Transfer Case & Differential Fluid Specification

    Hey Charles - Its been a while! Difffs and xfer case are very easy. I did mine a month ago with my 13 year old son helping. I did use fluids from the dealer - there aren't many (if any) options. Neither diff has a washer - use thread sealer on the drain plug. The xfer case... I...

    Towing - Who has towed what?

    And I'd like to add that I initially felt confident with a heavy camper, but downsized to one that weighs less than 4000 lbs fully loaded... Its a much nicer feeling when I nearly forget that the camper is back there.

    Bad Diffs

    I talked to a local Land Rover mechanic... DO NOT USE STANDARD 75W90 SYNTHETIC!!!! The Castrol SAF XO has an additive package unique to these trucks.

    Bad Diffs

    Was this DIY or did you take it in? If DIY - what fluid did you use? I know the recommended is the SAF XO... I actually have 1 quart of the stuff from the dealer, and it says "special" gear lube 75w90 synthetic. Does anyone know if this really is special or if a Royal Purple/Mobil 1...

    All-Terrain Tires. Let's have a conversation.

    I have the Yokohama Geolander AT/S in 265/60/18 on my LR3. Had it for a year/20K miles. No issues at all. Its a good tire.

    Brake Bleeding

    I have a friend who owns his own shop. He's been in business for 20 years. I have taken cars to him for a long time and trust him explicitly to do work on my cars. But I will not have him work on my Land Rovers. Aside from the fact that I enjoy working on my trucks, he doesn't know jack...

    Brake Bleeding

    Can you provide a link or a quote from Valvoline specs? Specifically the ISO 4925?

    Brake Bleeding

    Mike, please be careful what forum you are posting in. This is not the first time - I would hate for misinformation to live on this forum for someone to stumble upon later. I cannot confirm that the Valvoline meets the LR3 specs. I went to a local auto parts store and it did not specify ISO...

    Brake Bleeding

    Has anyone bled their brakes? Anyone have experience with the Castrol GTLMA that Atlantic British sells? How much fluid capacity does the brake system have? Thanks! :biggrin:

    Rosen DVD install help needed

    The wiring was very easy. The pictures can be a little confusing, but they are accurate. If you don't see what the picture shows, most likely you are looking at the wrong thing. The colors and pin numbers were perfectly detailed. No wires need to be cut or spliced, its all done via quick...

    Rosen DVD install help needed

    I believe I paid about 1600 for it. It wasn't cheap, but its very good picture quality, and my son likes to play the included video games :) It does integrate fully with the sound system. Installation was easy. You can listen via the wireless headsets or through the stereo speakers. Most...

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Sorry to the OP (and everyone else) for the hijack! I've seen Nathan's setup... I also thought I saw that reception wasn't the greatest... plus with the mount so low, the antenna required to clear the top of the truck would be pretty whippy even if it were fiberglass, and end up whacking...

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    JohnKel - Can you post a pic of your cb antenna mount? interested in what other have done before I start on mine. Thanks!

    Do I have fog lights?

    The rear fogs are standard, and I was also confused about what turned on when I first got the truck :smile: It seems that rear fogs are standard on my disco also. They are actually very helpful in certain situations. Last month, I spent several days running trails in the UP. They were...

    Stalling?

    Service advisor just said that they needed to be updated. technician told me that it isn't uncommon for older LR3s.

    Stalling?

    I finally got the truck into the shop (and back)... No codes, and no issues with stalling since. However, the engine and trans ECUs were both in and "unknown" state. So, they updated the software. We'll see if that changes anything. I wonder if the ECU couldn't adapt to the changes in...

    Stalling?

    Agreed. I will get codes just in case its a window to a larger problem.

    Stalling?

    I will check the air intake. It has actually restarted without problem every time its stalled out.

    Stalling?

    Hey all, I just returned from a great trip - from Chicagoland to DeSmet SD (Laura Ingalls homestead - 9 year old daughter - worth the stop), Badlands, Black Hills, Little Bighorn, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and back home. All told over 3800 miles in 2 weeks. The truck performed...

    Anybody using ramps to change their oil?

    I use ramps. I think they are 12K total capacity. I'm not sure. Thet were the larger capacity of the two at PepBoys. They work fine. The skid plate is not all that heavy, but there are a ton of bolts. You'll have to remove both skid plates, as the front one is below the filter. Get some...
