    Rear Hatch Squeaking

    Adjusted and lubricated striker, is all my tech wrote on the repair order for upper hatch noise. Of course, it once in a while takes an extra attempt to fully close but it might also have done that before. -- oops, not entirely true, closes fine unless bonehead me does not wait long enough for...

    And you updated the forum, too. Very nice. So many folks forget to tell what happens to them. Drive happy.

    still under warranty? You don't say. I can see what adjustment dealer made to ours in April come Tuesday.

    LR3 tire pressure

    Forget the max on sidewall, start with the Rover tire pressure spec placard on the car (or as listed in the manual) and adjust from there. IMHO, tire shops mess up both the pressure and the lug torque (usually way overtightened which causes brake rotor warpage and makes it a bit*h to change a...

    Incessant Brake wear warning chime

    dealer will tell you $$$$$$$$$. Independent mucho better. Pads per axle are $50 - $80, labor is nothing special, 1-2 hours per axle, sensor (mine is $17 front) is cheap if needed. Dealer will say rotors with pads always, I bet $1000-1200 all around. Save half by sourcing brand name pads and...

    LR3 tire pressure

    I think I'll raise mine above the door posted numbers for our next big road trip - but we're already planning to drive the A3 for an overnighter on Saturday: 2 parents and one child, 30 mpg vs 17.5, hmmm.

    Incessant Brake wear warning chime

    From a document I compiled with instructions based upon several posts, so this portion alone even contains some repetition. SPECS Wheel Nuts - 140 Nm (103 lb.ft). Anchor Plate Bolts - 115 Nm (85 lb.ft) Guide Pin Bolts - 32 Nm (24 lb.ft)` Brake Disc Retaining Screw (Torx) - 35 Nm (26...

    Incessant Brake wear warning chime

    If shop lets you bring own parts, check out RockAuto.com. I'll send my 5% discount code (or you can google for one). Folks here like some Brit vendor, but I see those prices as high for basic commodity consumables like pad/rotors. BTW, rotors only need replacing on the first go if they're...

    Extended Warranties

    The high cost and "exotic" classificaiton reflect the actuarial odds for high claims, it's not just random. A Taurus owner gets 5 new years, 100,000 total miles of coverage from Gold Key for $1300-1400 (10% more for 7 total years). An Audi costs twice the Ford. The Rover - they pass on Rovers...

    Extended Warranties

    Here's what Bruce said: "I have 17 Rover guys under plan, and the claims are through the roof. Unreal how you could own one without a warranty. Yes, exclusionaries are available from 2/24K to 5/50K. Best rates, especially on the longer plans, are when car is under 50K miles at start of...

    New Guy with a rear ac question

    OMG - if the LR DEALER missed Hollywood's suggestion on proper button operation, you better get your money back on the service call, at least.

    New Nav Disc

    stick your head under there. You have to move the seat to an extreme position, elevated and forward?, for best access. Load disc like any other player. Done.

    Extended Warranties

    Ah - let's try "Bruce M" from the AudiWorld forum, an indy dealer and warranty seller who gives good deals there. I'll email him for coverage info and report back to you soon.

    Replacing my own pads/rotors/sensors

    I just sent you more than you want to know (collected research) on this matter in 3 PMs. Write me for anything else, too. Good luck.

    Extended Warranties

    Oh, well -- Turns out that the LR3 is not attractive to this company. It's a good company that covered two Audis for me (and their present owners), a friend's Audi, a couple of my father's keeper cars, an employee here, and some others. Still, my contact said no on the LR3 - its loss rate...

    TDV6 in LR3 in future?

    Another mag very recently wrote about this version, too - maybe Automobile or C&D, I get so many more that I can't recall which - and liked it. We have diesel at work for the trucks, so I could fill up right there so the smell can wear off my shoes all day at work before I head home!!

    cooper LTZ owners

    19's limited choices, and none seem as aggressive as the ones discussed here. Don't overlook Toyo and Bridgestone, as each has newer highway tread pattern tire options in the OEM sizing, plus those that nwoods posted on his site. I got the Toyos since the Bridgestones were not yet in...

    can't say for sure how to tell, but I have such an 06 for you in the classifieds!

    I might be able to help with something very good in the $3000 range. It partly depends upon what state you live in.

    sale - 06 LR3 HSE 30k mi $27500 Silver over Tan

    She doesn't know it but I would swap this for the grey if I found one, as that's closer to the color of her old allroad and it's a nice color on the LR3. We'll see. As for price, it's only good if it gets me a buyer. Plus, I'm willing to take more if offered! Want to upgrade?
