    YATT (Yet Another Tire Thread)

    So.. I have dragged my feet on getting the tires.. I am trying to push it as much as I can on the goodyears.. (wanted the tax write off in 2008) .. i have come down to two choices 1) good year silent armors (of the wranger variant) in 265/60/18 2) cooper zeon ltz in 285/60/18 the internal...

    Cruise control not permitted

    i have this problem with my lr3 too.. tho, its slightly different.. anyway, found a posting in a different forum that describes the problem and a fix.. "The clock spring needs to be replaced on your cruise control switch on the steering wheel. I believe there is a TSB on the issue. When the...

    cooper LTZ owners

    dry_fly... i too am interested in figuring out the ice traction.. seems like the silent armours have gotten really good ratings on tirerack for ice traction.. price point on the coopers is pretty hard to beat tho

    cooper LTZ owners

    nwoods - any chance those coopers saw some ice? given the tread depth and pattern they look like they would do fine in snow.. but, looks like there is also a lot of surface area without much sipping that could hinder icey, slushy driving? are they softer than the nittos you were wearing? - kz

    Buying a service loaner? Bad idea?

    i bought a service loaner ( '06 lr3 se ) last december, before year end to get tax benefits.. seemed like a good deal as dealer took off about $15K from MSRP and it had about 5K miles on it.. no strange problems other than standard LR stuff..

    Biltmore Estate

    truck handled pretty well in the mud, considering it had the stock goodyears on it.. i was actually a bit concerned when we went down to, what i would consider, a bog (remember i am in CO :) .... but, other than sliding a bit towards some trees (fun when you are driving someone else's truck), it...

    YATT (Yet Another Tire Thread)

    Ok.. So, I am nearing 18K on my goodyears.. For the most part, they have worn pretty evenly.. One tire has worn a bit more on the inside than the others, but I think that due to a lack of rotating before I got it from the dealer (bought an 06 SE V8 as a dealer demo with 6K) So, as fall...

    leaking steering fluid

    anyone experience leaking steering fluid on their LR3? brought mine in for the 15K service and for a parking brake fault and dealer found some leaking steering fluid.. oh, yeah, and they fixed the "park brake fault" with a part from a loaner.. seems strange to me..

    Land Rover Experience - Asheville

    Anyone been on the Land Rover Experience in Asheville NC? Or any LRE for that matter? Was thinking about going to the one in Asheville, but thought I would get some insight into opinions and experiences before I drop $800 for the day. Thanks.

    Cruise Control Not Available

    Nice new forum look! So,,,, I have been getting this intermittent "Cruise Control Not Available" message in the message center. I have the vehicle in the "std" terrain response mode, without hill descent on. In other words, I am driving down the highway and get the message.. Any thoughts?

    Dealer Handling of TSBs

    Just wondering what type of experiences people have been having re: TSBs. I had to experience the transmission issue in order to convince my dealer to apply the software upgrade.. Wondering if anyone has a dealer proactively applying TSBs or if I, as the consumer, need to keep on top of these...
