    LR3 BMS Reset for Battery AGM Charging

    Thanks Doug for confirming, yeah i think without regular external charging the battery every couple months i don't think the capacity on mine holds. I will keep doing the same i also installed an H8, the original stock size was H7 i believe.

    LR3 BMS Reset for Battery AGM Charging

    Quick question on battery change do I need to run a BMS reset? Also AGM batteries need 0.5Volt roughly higher Voltage for charging than say Gel, or Regular Lead Acid Batteries, can the LR3 charge AGM batteries reliably? Is it designed and are factory batteries AGM or are they regular batteries?

    High Output Alternator for LR3

    I installed one from quality power: Item #: 11206-240A So far so good, you do have to swap the pulley from the OEM original with the one they give you with the quality power alternator that won't fit.

    How to check the battery voltage with the settings menu

    On the LR4 I know you can program the battery type AGM and not AGM, is that possible on the LR3 2008 that I have as well? I don't have an IID tool so am asking all those folks that have one. The reason I am asking is I have a AGM battery and it needs to be charged between 14.0V and 14.4V...

    08' RR Catalytic Converter Failure

    I have a LR3 at 125000mi and it threw a catalyst on bank 2 depleted error, however after cleaning the downstream o2 sensors on both sides I haven't gotten the error again. Just saying that might be the cheapest fix (~80$ in tools, 3hours wrestling with the sensors, use a torch to heat the...

    Update to item: 4. It appears the weak or hesitant starting has returned recently even with fully charged battery (and the alternator, starter and grounding having been redone before). Any suggestions? My next cause of action was: 0. replaced relays for the immobilizer, and ECU (that didn't...

    LR3 transfer case : where is the breather located?

    Then there is also the front differential vent hose and this seems to be the one that shows up next to the expansion tank in the engine compartment. this would be more inbetween the wheels, unless those those two vents are actually connected to the same front vent hose?

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Hey quick question cutting the frame horns (I have some running as well) will that change and reduce frame stiffness or strength? Once cut I would also worry about the debris dirt, water that gets logged in the area. Any thoughts, can you take pictures of the cuts themselves?

    Landrover 2008 LR3 V8 the engine light is on for me an with bank 2 catalyst is depleted message. I imagine there is a lot of R/R to remove heat shields and anything in the way to reach the manifold exhaust bolts, or whatever holds the cat flange in place. Also you would want to install a set of...

    Relentless Head Gasket Issues-2012 RR Sport SC

    I think another way to go about testing the engine is actually pressurizing the cooling system on the block and leaving the pressure on for say 1 week. Then check for leaks.
