Link to How to Change an LR3's oil
I'm actually planning on doing this for the first time tonight. I had the instructions bookmarked, but I was just reading through them again and I noticed that the step to remove the oil filter comes before removing the drain plug. I've always done it in the opposite order--drain plug first... -

Would you buy another one?
I've only had my '06 for 6 months and this is my first Land Rover, but I plan on always owning one in the future. The only thing I wish is that they would add a normal tow hitch, especially now that that LR4 has more power. I wish I could buy a Defender here too... but that's another story. -

Options for Tow Hitches
fwiw, looking at the Curt website, I see that the hitch has the following specs: WC/TW 6000/600 WD/TW 8000/800 It looks like the WC (weight carrying, as opposed to weight distributing) is quite a bit less than Land Rover's spec of 7716 lbs. with the OEM hitch. You do get 50 more... -

LR4 Review NY Times
Yeah, I'm a bit confused about reviewers talking about the lack of space in the third row. I'm 6'2" and I fit perfectly. It might be a bit of chore if I was extremely overweight or old, but to say that only nimble children can use the seats is a total disservice. It would, however, more... -

Airbag cover replacement -DENIED-
I just had mine replaced under warranty a few weeks ago. I have 24k miles, and they replaced it with no issues. EDIT: Oh, and this is on an 06. -

Rear Entertainment DVD Player
Since I posted this I think i've come up with the solution I want. I actually got on carmax.com and searched for LR3s with DVD players to see what people had done. My favorite setup that I've seen is putting two smaller drop-down screens on each side of the ceiling lights/temperature controls... -

Recovery Points?
Find a used one on ebay/craigslist/local classified or buy new from http://www.bputah.com/. Also get the trailer wiring kit from http://www.roverparts.com/ and install it yourself. This will safe you a lot of money. Wiring kit is $120 and hitch is $375 new. Pretty silly (and that's not even... -

New LR4 - Questions - ?
In my LR3, I actually just stuck the license plate in the front window (on the passenger side). I don't know how legal it is, but I haven't had any problems. -

Buying New Tires - LR3 - Need Advice
I don't think you have many options in the 19" wheels. Most people on here seem to go with the 18s, especially if they are off-roading. Anyway, here are your options: http://blog.nextstepdesigns.com/?p=46 (the 19" wheel info is toward the bottom) There is a ton of information on this... -

Need Quick Opinons
Oops, I meant 33 front and 35 rear, but I guess that is still too low then. They did rebuild the TPMS, so I thought maybe they would set up everything how it needed to be. I guess not! -

Need Quick Opinons
I can vouch for the quietness. I haven't done anything other than drive home from the tire shop, but I could hear my engine on the freeway, which I wasn't used to. I didn't think my worn Goodyear Wranglers were very loud, but the new Hankooks are definitely quieter. Btw, do you know what... -

Rear Brake Job?
I was quoted $600 for all four brake pads (I don't know if that included resurfacing the rotors), and my dealer is usually a bit cheaper that most of them that I see on here. So your quote sounds about par to me. I think the general consensus is to just buy the brake pads from... -

How do you say "Hill Descent Control" in Spanish?
This actually brings up a question I had... I was coming down a usually good dirt road the other day, but the road had had snow on it, and that snow had been melting so it had turned a bit muddy. There was also a tiny bit of snow left (maybe an inch), so it was quite slippery. The road was... -

Need Quick Opinons
Yeah, the manual says to use 112s. I was reading around a bit and found this: http://landroverforums.com/forum/showpost.php?p=52816&postcount=15 I guess I can verify it with Discount Tire before putting them on. The Hankooks sound like a pretty good tire, and I got them for $730 out the... -

Moab Trail Ratings
I just ordered some 265/60/18 Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10s today. $729.90 out-the-door at discount tire. I thought a long time about getting 285/60/18s, but I also wanted to stick with the stock size (for chains, better gas mileage), so I compromised. -

This is *exactly* what i was wondering about. If you could find and link an article I would greatly appreciate it. I will Google it in the meantime. Will do. Thanks. Beautiful pictures. Thanks again. -

Moab Trail Ratings
I will be going with the Land Rover dealership in Utah. I've lived in Utah and western Colorado my whole life and I've never been to Moab :\ I am definitely planning on getting new tires (but I'm still trying to decide which) within the next couple of months, as I have almost 25k on the...
