    2008 Lr3 > 2005 Lr3?

    Most of the issues with the earlier models were fixed by the dealer. I have an 07 HSE and have Zero issues that needed to be fixed. I had an 05 and only took it in for recalls, not because I was having any problems. MY08 - My ashtray wouldn't retact and I had to have a speaker grill replaced as...

    To black the grill or not to black the grill?

    I like it, was looking at some of the different styles they have (wire netting look) on ebay. If you removed the orange reflector in the headlights (Disco 3 had a tutorial) it would very clean.

    There r provisions to putting booster and car seats in the third row. Just not the latch system. There r anchors over the top that connect behind the third seat. There was just a thread posted on some one who did this with both seats. Hope this helps.

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Aires. Looks pretty nice, only got it to keep the tumbleweeds off the front end. May even switch to a protection bar by LR. Carpartsestore has them for 99$. That way I can get back some of my ground clearance. It hits the parking stops when in access mode sometimes.

    First LR

    Tires are also part of the gas mileage rating when the vehicle is sold, so some times they choose a tire to help boost that rating even though they aren't not purposed for the vehicle. The Count is also on to something with the sales pitch of quiet ride" The dealer wants it off the lot.

    Extended Warranties

    I got burned on that gas card scam by a Hyundai dealer. Sounds like u did the right thing. They would only pay ou 10$ at a time and u had to wait 3-4 weeks to make another gas claim. Boo!

    The Snorkel

    That is the pic from their site. Cheapest I have seen them is 413. If it is any thing like the bumper should be a good buy.

    We in a near by city refer to Spokane,wa (site of said embarrassment) as Spokanistan no offense to our fellow eastern block members.

    Welcome. This is an excellent site for all a lot of the questions that you will have. I am just now starting to prep my 07 for off roading and this site has been invaluable. Also check out disco3.co.uk tips and tricks as a new LR3 owner to learn some new things about this amazing vehicle.

    Brush guard/aux light setups.

    I also have the hella 500ff and upgraded the wiring and added 100w bulbs. They are a decent addition without spending a fortune. Recommend hooking the relay up to the high beams. If you want some info on how it did this let me know. That way the aux lights turn off with the high beams off.

    Well Friends... It's Been Real

    The it bus 350xwb was supposed to be the a370. The truth comes out. You must work for the Chicago based boeing? Just joking with u. Hopefully that dreamliner will make it out this year. :creep:

    Merry LR3 Christmas

    I agree. I have one dealer that is 120mi and they are awful. So I drive 250 to Seattle and they hook me right up with loaner and get it done when they say. I haven't had any emergent repairs yet though. (knock on wood)

    Well Friends... It's Been Real

    My neighbor has an M3 and it sounds like a A370 taking off. Lets be honest though, there is nothing practical about a land rover. That is part of the appeal.
