What are the best tires for the LR3 ?
Hmm.. I just noticed that the GY Wrangler SAs only have a 109T load rating... Maybe I should go with the General Grabber AT 2s... but I don't really want the increased road noise :\ -

Anybody have a cure for the creaky inside door handles
I may be wrong, but I didn't think this was an issue with something getting worn out (or "relaxing" over time). I remember watching a review of a brand new LR3 HSE on YouTube, and the creaky door handles were the only bad thing he had to car about the vehicle. It was one of the first things I... -

Miserably failed cross axle obstacle (need off road help)
Quick update: After getting to know the vehicle a little more, I went back and tackled it with no problem at all. I even stopped in the middle of the obstacle like I did the first time, and was able to continue up without any problems. Thanks for the advice, guys. Here are a few things I... -

What are the best tires for the LR3 ?
Forum member nwoods has a great blog on what is available: http://blog.nextstepdesigns.com/?p=46 I just started Googling each tire and reading about them. Personally, I have decided on the GY Wrangler SilentArmors, because the car will be used 90% on road and I want the quiet ride. Also. the... -

LR4 - Heavy Duty Package Question
When I was looking to buy a used one, I asked the dealer about this. He basically told me that they don't see very many because all of the other off-roading systems/features of the LR3 have become so good that it's not as important. I'm a newb when it comes to off-roading and have never... -

Eek, I hope this isn't the norm with the Wrangler SilentArmors. I was planning on getting them. -

Soon to be Land Rover owner-few Q's
I think that's what he's saying, but I'm not so sure I understand why. I thought the letter following "SALA" indicated the trim. I have a 2006 "SALAE". The "E" just indicates that it's an SE trim with 7 seats. And I believe the "G" indicates an HSE trim with 7 seats. You can use this... -

Soon to be Land Rover owner-few Q's
Hey Aevum, I had basically your exact same experience when shopping for a new SUV a couple of weeks ago. I asked about reliability too and got quite a bit of feedback, so you might be interesting in checking out these threads: http://forums.landroverworld.org/showthread.php?t=16066... -

Rear Entertainment DVD Player
btw, I definitely want the overhead flip-down DVD player so that it is easily visible by everyone in the back (including the 3rd row). -

Rear Entertainment DVD Player
I've done quiet a bit of searching on the topic, but surprisingly I haven't found much... I purchased an 06 LR3 SE7 V8 a week or two ago, but it doesn't have the rear entertainment. I have a two-year-old and another baby arriving in October, so I would really like to get a DVD player... -

Touch-up paint
I am planning on putting a clear bra on my black LR3, but I have a few small rock chips on the hood and grill. I talked to a couple clear bra places here and they both said to touch up the paint before I brought it in if I didn't want them to put the bra over the chips. Anyway, I checked out... -

Land Rover has a 4 year / 50,000 mile warranty, so depending on when your vehicle first went into service (i.e., when the first owner got it) you should have around 2 years left on your warranty. Regarding an extended warranty, it seems like most people here suggest the Ford ESP warranty, which... -

Miserably failed cross axle obstacle (need off road help)
Oops, I was going to mention the tires too. I do just have the stock GY Wranglers, and their tread is average at best. I did realize this going into the obstacle, but it really didn't expect problems--maybe that was silly of me. I am going to back today and try it with with more of a... -

Miserably failed cross axle obstacle (need off road help)
Oops! I forgot to link this... The obstacle looked basically just like this one, except for the one I encountered was on an incline and the dirt was more dry and sandy. YouTube - Colt cross axle -

Miserably failed cross axle obstacle (need off road help)
So, I took my new 06 LR3 (SE V8) off-road today for the first time today. I was driving on a dry dirt with a small amount of gravel in places. I came across a fairly simple looking cross axle obstacle on an ascent (not too steep at all, maybe 25-degree). I drove right up to the obstacle in... -

06 SE V8 Pre-purchase inspection today
Is there an official list of TSBs? I found one by googling, but it doesn't look very official and didn't list the lurching issue as far as I could tell... Here's the list I found: http://www.tsbdata.com/tsb/2006-land-rover-lr3-v8-4394cc-4_4l.html -

06 SE V8 Pre-purchase inspection today
Thanks Sean. Unfortunately I didn't get your post before I went in for the inspection, but they told me everything looked really good. I decided to buy it and I brought it home that night. The report from the dealership said that the tires were wearing more in the inside. Is this something I... -

My first Land Rover
After months of looking at Jeep Commanders, and then a couple of weeks of comparing the Commander with the LR3 and asking a bunch of questions here on this forum, I did it! I just picked up my new 2006 LR3 SE V8 with 21,000 miles. Here are some pics... -

If anyone cares... I just got an insurance quote for the '06 LR3 SE V8 and an '06 Jeep Commander 5.7L Limited. The Jeep was $1330/year and the LR3 was $1366. Basically the same ($3 difference a month). -

That makes sense. I ran a carfax on it; it has always been owned here in Utah--lots of snow and salt here in the winter, so I am sure you are right about it not being an issue. I'm just paranoid.
