On board air (cheap)
I have the Q Industries MV50 and it has worked great for me. This website raises the possibility that it is the same compressor as the Viair 400P. I recall reading somewhere that you shouldn't use these types of compressors for road bicycle tires. The tires run at a much higher pressure than... -

Just fixed (hopefully) a leaking sunroof...
To remove the footrest on the driver's side, you will need to first pry off the top piece of the footrest with a small flathead screwdriver. Once that is off, you will see a torx screw that needs to be removed. On my LR3, I had wet carpet in the front footwells, along the sills, and... -

Reg vs Premium fuel?
I used regular for a while a few years ago when gas prices were through the roof. It seemed like the gas mileage I was getting was slightly lower than what I was getting when using premium. After a few months I switched back to premium figuring that whatever benefit I was getting by paying less... -

seat removal
On US left hand drive vehicles, the amp is located under the passenger seat. There are four plastic covers that need to be removed first, one on each corner of the seat. They are held in place by plastic tabs that are reinforced with metal clips. You can pull them out by hand, but a flathead... -

wierd leak
The conclusion that I have come to with the LR3 is that things must be fixed preemptively. If you hear that a person has a particular problem with their rig, take a thorough look at yours to make sure you are not next. I was able to dodge the bullet in regards to the "rear upper hatch arms"... -

Review Camera install
I thought a camera or just about any video source could be hooked up directly to the factory nav unit without a gnet/gvif box. From what I remember, it required using an unusual Amphenol connector and then going into one of the hidden menus to access an alternate video screen on the navi. Is the... -

Polybush kit from Atlantic British
The claim is that the polybushes can last up to five times longer than the OE ones. I had no idea what polybushes were before yesterday, but after doing some reading on the internet, it seems there are tradeoffs with the firmer ones. You get tighter suspension and handling which is good for... -

Hello There - Snow Chain Help Please
For the sake of getting a definitive answer, I did some web searching and found this on the CHP website. http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/answers.html I have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Do I have to carry / use chains? What do the "R" ratings which are associated with chain requirements mean... -

Hello There - Snow Chain Help Please
I have a set of the SCC chains referenced above, for my 255/60/18 wheels. I have not used them yet, but I did practice putting them on in the garage, and they seem to fit fine with the suspension at normal height. I was on Highway 2 a couple of winters ago and the CHP and Caltrans had set up a... -

Does your clock reset in cold weather?
Perhaps the radio head unit has its own battery? I recall disconnecting the vehicle battery to figure out some fault issues. After reconnecting the battery, I was puzzled as to why the radio presets were still intact, leading me to believe it has its own battery. Either that or the gremlins in... -

Lower Tailgate Moulding crooked on many LR3's
Yes! I know exactly what you are talking about Tim! I'm reminded of it every time I wash the LR3 and then dry that particular area. Like you, I can't figure out if it's an issue with the tailgate or the bumper. -

Advice on reasonably priced parts
I have yet to order from them, but what about parts.com? They have cool exploded diagrams of the vehicle in question, which makes it easy to figure out what the part is if you don't know the name of it. I'm not sure where the parts are sourced from, but I recall reading somewhere that because of... -

What to do with old rotors?
Thanks for the suggestions everybody. GreyMatter, your scrap yard idea sounds reasonable. BTW, I had an 89 GLI a while back; it was a great car. -

What to do with old rotors?
I changed my brakes and rotors last week. Any suggestions on what to do with the old rotors? I purchased the new ones via Atlantic British. It seems like a waste to just toss 100 pounds of metal in the trash. :dontknow: On a side note, if you are changing your brake pad sensors, I'd recommend... -

Sport Mode causes rear end thunk at low speeds?
If I am not mistaken, I believe the tranission adapts to your driving style. I recall reading of one case where the service tech merely took the vehicle around the block a couple of times with a heavy foot and that "reprogrammed" the transmission. -

Where can I get an Aux Jack/Panel for a 2005 LR3?
You should be able to use the existing panel to connect your iPod or other device. The cable you'd need to interface would be mini jack to RCA. -

Thank you Nathan for the morning laugh! In all fairness, I am sure Mr. Tata speaks both Hindi and flawless English. -

Now I'm worried...my first LR3 glitch!
Did the problem go away the next time you started the vehicle? Sometimes a "computer reboot" by restarting the vehicle will clear faults. It has been recommended by others that prior to starting the vehicle, allow the system to fully cycle through. You can do this by turning the key to position... -

Off Road Fail
Unfortunately, I am not in a financial position to make any accessory purchases. In the four years that I've owned my LR3, the only accessory I've purchased so far is a portable air compressor that cost under $100. However, my Christmas wish list is pretty long; if only Santa knew what a good... -

Off Road Fail
My kids probably still need the side steps to get in and out of the vehicle, but I'll see if the wife is willing to lose them (the sidesteps, not the kids). I was initially very shocked to see the rock wedged in there and the damage that it had caused, and the thought of what had happened put... -

Off Road Fail
Sigh... It happened this past Saturday while doing some rock crawling. Felt the LR3 slipping sideways but I didn't think much of it. I kept creeping through but the vehicle kept slipping sideways. Then somebody yelled that a rock was stuck in the wheel. Tried pulling the rock out but it was too...
