    *Off Topic - Defender, Why can't I?

    3 Special Edition Defenders for the 2015 Finale. If you could, which would you choose? Personally the Adventure Wagon in Orange would be my choice rig. Back in 05 when I was in Iraq, I almost had a 06 Disco 3 Diesel on the ship to come home. After some checking it all out, most LRNA dealers...

    Cracked Dash Options - Dashmat

    Mine is an 06 with no cracks. It's never seen a garage except for when I travel and left at the airport. That said I do have a custom fit sunshade that I use in the summer and every few weeks I wipe it down with a no/low gloss protectant. I would imagine though that getting a old school...

    06 LR3, High Compressor usage

    Just took a look at my records. June 2012 I had this stuff replaced under my warranty. Might be all set for parts, maybe just check the dryer and look for leaks. I would imagine everything is the latest parts. 609002 Diagnosis LR020590 - Comp VUB504700 - Dryer YWB500220 - Relay...

    06 LR3, High Compressor usage

    Thanks for the responses. I was really looking for an excuse to get an IID tool, this might just be it. I have a shipping request out to Island 4x4 in the UK, they are about $250 less than anywhere in the States for the BT model. Was hoping to find a used one already over here, but that is...

    06 LR3, High Compressor usage

    Good morning gents, My 06 has about 78K miles on it and had one compressor replaced about 3-4 years ago from the dealer. I have noticed that the compressor runs way more often than it used it, or so at least it seems. It runs every single time I start the vehicle, and seemingly longer than the...

    Nanocom or IID, Which and Where...

    My 06 is getting up there in age. I decided to keep it around a bit longer. Looking to breathe some new life into it and just keep it on the road as I'll be doing some travelling. Looking at the BT IID tool or the Nanocom. Prices are pretty ridiculous from what I found but then again when...

    speaker swap, has anyone done it?

    Good Morning Gents, My 06 LR3 is rocking the 10 speaker Harmon Kardon audio (w/ nav). I noticed my front speakers are getting pretty scratchy and often bottom out on talk radio. I want to replace the front components with something better, not looking to upgrade the amp or anything. Looking for...

    tis the season, block heater, anyone do it?

    Thanks so much for the info. O-Reilly has the cord for about $17. I'll get the heater online. I'll be tackling the job myself, hope it's not that involved.

    Windshield Lower Cowl Replacement

    I used a standard wiper removal tool and painted mine with rubber bedliner spray. Laid down pretty good after the paint job and held up for the past 4 years or so like that. I just taped off the top rubber portion and have yet to have any issues.

    EBC Brake Pad Issue

    I run EBC Green stuff on front and rear and have not experienced that issue. Although I am running Centric Rotors on the rear and EBC Ultimax slotted up front. Maybe a de-glaze is needed on the rotor and pads checked for contamination?

    Started a Consolidated Parts Sheet

    So I decided after searching around for a while to start a LR3 consolidated parts list (Google Docs). It's open to editing for everyone so please try to follow some sort of format. I will be adding to it soon but hopefully we can compile a be all end all list. If there already is one let me...

    Thanks for all the responses and knowledge so far. I think the IIDTool is on the definite list and fluids will be ordered through the local stealership.

    Keeping my '06, need some advice...

    After a 7 year run with my LR3 I have decided that I am going to keep it indefinitely. The resale is horrible right now on these and it's paid off so owes me nothing. Need some info if any of you have it handy to prep for the long haul and get her shined up a bit. I know some of this info is out...

    Have you tried these tires?

    Ladies, Gents, been a while. Almost sold the LR3 but decided to keep and freshen things up a bit. So, read the other tire threads but could not really get what I needed. Goal is 4 tires that last more than 30K miles. Not very happy with the wear and noise on my Silent Armors. Truck is aligned...

    Need some help

    Hello Gents, Have the unfortunate luck of helping out a buddy who did not take care of his freelander. Took on the job replacing both front Axles, ball joints, and needs some exhaust work done. The axles were really no big deal but the ball joints were probably the dumbest thing we decided to...
