Premium fuel?
Gasoline Additives There is a difference between RUL and PUL (Reg & Premium). We contract at a distribution terminal - our engineers do the computer work. video here..... http://www.automationx.ca/aX2006.wmv It's been a while since I asked, but from what I was told at the time (& remember)... -
6 weeks old LR3 - check engine light number 4, should I contact a Lawyer?
Range Rover Sport Website This is from a Range Rover sport site I came across. With 1000's of vehicles being produced of a new model and new technologies, there are going to be issues coming up - that's the nature of motoring. Every manufacturer has them. The Engine Check diagnostic scans ~ 20... -
6 weeks old LR3 - check engine light number 4, should I contact a Lawyer?
Lemon law is no free lunch. These guys leverage these laws, reasonable or not, for profit. Read the fine print, you could be holding the bag of lemons at the end of the day. This Rover left the UK passing Q tests. So either something happened between there and delivery to cause the issue, or... -
Premium fuel?
If regular fuels are used in high compression engines, detonation can occur which is an explosive, uncontrolled burn. This is like someone taking a mini pickaxe to the inside of your pistons and heads. The pressure wave forces are great and can do physical damage if severe or prolonged instances... -
upgrades, accessories, add-ons, ect.
That is a good link. Called them up. This is a re-surface lamination process done overseas using orig factory parts. Something we've had requests for with our Porsche line as well. That's cool. At the end of the day it's all surface treatments (stick or otherwise). For the LR3 program I wanted... -

Old school It's been years since I sat in a Jag and a friend showed up with a mid 80's XJ6 Sovereign yesterday to get some work done in our new shop. The car is a bit of a restoration project. Real wood dash, individual instruments, old school construction. Solid beast, reminded me of... -
upgrades, accessories, add-ons, ect.
Accessories We are starting development of a product line for the LR3 next week begining with interior upgrades. The kind of level of quality you'd see on a Bentley. The dealer who sold us the LR3 had a Bentley in the showroom and our designs are remarkably similar (by accident). This photo... -
Transmission jerking?
Driving bad-habits Have you taken a tech for a ride? It may well be they can't dupe it. I haven't driven our LR3 too much (about 2 hours, mostly hiway) but I didn't feel anything strange with the tranny. Usually with a V8 engine the trans is programmed for second gear starts as there is... -
Tire options for LR3 SE, 18" rims
Coopers Cooper make an aptly named "Discoverer" 285/55 18 265/60-18 30.25" and 30.4" I've had a Coopers in the past, and on my Audi at the moment. They do OK, just don't let them go more than 3 or so years. -
6 weeks old LR3 - check engine light number 4, should I contact a Lawyer?
Lawyers Last time I checked my lawyer couldn't fix Land Rovers. The engine computer is detecting an issue and I believe by legislation (EPA or whatever) it must invoke the check engine light, otherwise it would probably be just stored in memory and displayed as a non-critical service item... -
Avon Tyre update
Good Vibrations If it is pure road speed related vibration, then look to out of balance rotating equipment. Felt as overall vehicle vibration (seat of the pants) is usually the rear axle. Felt in the steering wheel, the front. On our Porsches I've seen bent rims, out of balance/faulty... -
Low Coolant Warning but...
It's back Looks like a defective sensor. TSB# LA303-006 VIN Range 5A000360 to 6A367332. The sensor float "absorbs" coolant and sinks. Hmm.... As stated above - installation of new expansion tank is required. -
Avon Tyre update
Kumho's Goodyears are garbage. I've had Kumho's and liked them. The Ecsta STX might work - sizing is a bit off though. -
Low Coolant Warning but...
Low coolant I had this warning on my first drive with our '05. The reservoir is a design I haven't seen before, with multiple chambers. The level reading to me is a bit strange as a result. I filled mine, engine stone cold about 1" over the mark. Warning is gone. -
Picking up an LR3 this week!
It's been like crawling rocks this past month on the road to an LR3 purchase, but we are in the final stages of getting a '05 V8 SE7 this week. The dealership crashed the front bumper in the lot so it has been waiting on some parts. We operate a business around the front engined Porsche cars...
