    Parking Break Replacement/Adjustment

    It has a throttle / gas pedal sensor Yep -- I wondered this also (ie when you step on the gas it releases). I saw somewhere in the book that for auto transmission cars (ie the US of A), it has an auto release... I think if I recall correctly it was something like if you depress the throttle...

    A couple questions

    That button is from a RRSport - not LR3 I think someone swapped in a Range Rover Sport (RRS -- I'm talking US market here) wheel or something to the like... because that has not been offered on North American LR3s. In the RRS, that button does indeed control the "distance" between you and...

    Constant power to nav draining battery?

    Yep Yes -- nav and radio not your problem (they will go on without key in). I would bet battery. Or alternator... but most likely battery.

    Check engine light

    I did on my HSE I had to get mine smog tested, but here in Davidson County (Nashville), Tennessee, the smog test on newish cars (OBDII I think)... is just a simple check to make sure the Chk Engine light is not on.. they simply look and make sure there is a cat converter, then plug into the...

    Somone on another LR2 board posted last week that LR had just released a TSB about the seat base rocking on power seat-ed LR2, LR3 and RRS. Does anyone have this ? Have a copy ? Thanks .

    v8 engine cover removal

    Call me a mor-OON but I was just showing someone at the office my LR3. Specifically the v8... 300 hp engine. He said -- lemme see under that cover, I guess we wanted to see what the coil packs looked like -- and anyways, having just got this truck, I couldnt get the black plastic engine cover...

    LR4 - Heavy Duty Package Question

    you'll find one - keep looking There is hope. I found mine (05 HSE) with the rear locker / HD package. Had to look but they are out there. The easiest way to tell -- for example if you are at carmax or a LR dealer looking up and down an aisle -- is if it has a full size spare. Then make...

    Will LR's CPO warranty on a CPO LR3 cover bushings?

    Alignment and thanks Thanks for the advice (discomike as usual you rock). Anyway -- I bought it in June from a LR dealer, it had been aligned right before I bought it as part of the CPO inspection (I saw the svc record). Then in August I had it back at the dealer, noticed rear tires...

    Will LR's CPO warranty on a CPO LR3 cover bushings?

    Reading the other post about the bushings replacement, I am wondering if my Land Rover CPO warranty will cover bushing replacement? My 05 seems to get out of alignment pretty easily and I have a bit of clunking when going across driveway / street joints / etc. The truck just went out of its...

    Door handle

    door handles - what exactly is wrong with them? What exactly is wrong with the unpainted handles (other than the fact that the black plastic fades over time)? I do agree that the color coded handles look far better -- or the silver-ish ones on the 2009 / 2010 models, but I'm not sure what...

    Air Suspension Compressor

    Agreed but where is the air intake for the compressor Actually I thought that was a good question, i don't know either. Where's the air intake??? Is it somewhere down by the actual compressor or is there an intake hose leading to a higher point on the truck?

    Soon to be Land Rover owner-few Q's

    LR3 list of things I looked for I recently picked up a 2005 HSE from a dealer (was CPO) in June of this year so its fresh on my mind. Bottom line, i LOVE the truck. ... Here are the things that I'd looked at / were on my "list" that are easy checks, as well as a couple I didnt know about...

    HDC/SPECIAL PROGRAMS warning lights

    Chk battery 1st I am not 100% sure what may be causing this in your case, but I have read alot on various boards about a low-ish battery (but not low enough to not be able to start your truck) causing HDC, brake, suspension faults at random with LR3s and RRS's. Might be worth a check of the...

    Hood Deflector

    Timely that you ask... I was on the Rocklin/Niello LR site today ... and looking at the same thing. I drove my LR3 down to FLA and back (from Tennessee) a few weeks back, and unfortunately, it got 3 little stone dings/chips in the hood, before the journey it had none. I was going to get that...

    Headlight bulb replacement

    I know this post is about halogens on LR3s but info above is a little misleading. The HID light "bulbs" do burn out / go dim / stop working. Pretty frequently actually. I was surprised that I had to replace on on our 2006 Audi A6 (bi xenon adaptive / swivelling similar to my rover's)...

    2005 HSE - hissing noise when washing underside

    I washed my truck yesterday (2005 HSE, 35K miles)... and noticed from the drivers side right around the location of the suspension compressor, a very slight almost imperceptible "sssss" noise after the truck was off for about 15 mins. The LR3 was in offroad height (so I can wash underneath a...

    Parking Brake Module Location?

    Parking brake cables ? was module Great PIC ! Follow up question -- so when you order the module/actuator for the parking brake, do the cables actually come with it? Ie is it one big assembly that all is under the same part #? I guess what would be super helpful would be if anyone had an...

    My 05 HSE is in the shop (LR Huntsville - they are awesome) ... for a parking brake issue (Right rear wheel locked up, dragging). Anyway they are replacing the EPB/parking brake module as well as the pads/shoes/rotor (which all I guess got damaged). Who knows where this parking brake module...

    Found a Good Deal at CarMax for a LR3

    Sounds like a reasonably good deal That price sounds pretty much in line with what's out there at retail places/dealers... its still under factory warranty for a bit correct? That truck at a Land Rover dealer is prob 28 or 29K but then will be CPO. I was looking at 2005, 2006, 2007 LR3s at...

    Right Rear (pass side) brake seems to be stuck ??

    More info So -- drove about 60 miles today ... for work. When I started, the RR wheel was covered in brake dust (as opposed to LR wheel and the front wheels which are pretty clean). Today, no noise from the wheel (the squeak or rub is gone). When I apply parking brake on a hill, it...
