    Another Defender hint?

    follow the front fender up along the door seam to the A pillar. You can see that the fender rounds up underneath the 'square' hood. The moulding right underneath the front drivers window is an add on to keep the boxy line going from front to rear. I'm betting a much more rounded shape thats all...

    DIY water pump and crossover pipe Video.

    Thanks for the video. I just did the water pump, crossover pipe replacement. For anyone doing it and not removing the fan, order of operations should be: drain coolant, remove top of fan shroud, lift the intake (front elevated), remove crossover pipe, then you have easy access to the water...

    2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle

    Dont do the forum thing very much anymore, but I've learned a lot about my LR4 from this forum, so pay it forward. Onto the OP's problem. I literally had this exact same issue earlier this year. Symptoms make it appear that its a spark/ignition issue. If you get a code reader, it would give you...

    Tha REAL answer!

    Well said. In other words, just because the oil comes out of the ground here doesnt mean it stays here. Oil Companies are global enterprises. Anything they pull out of the ground is distributed on a global scale, not just for the US. That said, Oil companies dont help the US citizen, they...

    Brake Pad Choices?

    just did the front brakes with new rotors and pads. bed them as instructed and letting them cool right now. I had to replace the pad sensor, but the check brake pads light is still on. Does something need to be reset after installing the new sensor? Thanks.

    3rd Brake Light

    Mine is cracked and I was told the same thing. I will bet that using a heat gun carefully will soften the sealant enough to remove it. I keep looking for one, but I have a feeling its going to be a dealer only item.

    Brake Pad Choices?

    Love it. I only wish it had a six speed. Other than that, no issues with it. It feels really really low after driving the LR3 around for a couple of weeks. Takes a bit of getting used to again.

    Brake Pad Choices?

    I order them directly from Carbotech. Waiting on a callback from them right now. They may be out of cores to make the pads. I've had a set of the 1521 compound on my ISF for 10k miles now. The stock pads were very aggressive in initial bit and wear and had a ton of brake dust (similar to the...

    Brake Pad Choices?

    I'm about to do front pads and rotors on my LR3. I'm getting a set of Carbotech Bobcat 1521 pads. I currently use these on my Lexus ISF. No noise, very low brake dust and perform as well as the factory pads, which had great feel, but had tons of brake dust and are very hard on the rotors.

    Problems With the LR3

    Been lurking for a while. I've had my 08 LR3 for a couple months. Only gripes so far are: -random clicking type noise coming from the drivers side rear. Doesn't appear to be related to the brakes at all. -ashtray spring just broke. Otherwise I'm liking it. Need to get some tires and take...
