Which code reader to buy?
In order to enable nav in motion I believe a couple of firmware files need to be updated on the LR and I think that is currently out of scope for the IID tool. -
Suspension fault C1A20
Well I just managed to get an AMK compressor before the prices apparently went up. My local dealer said they went from $675 to $790 almost overnight. I tracked mine down on eBay for $525 which seemed a better move long term as the replacement dryer part is $160. I will let you know how I get on... -
Suspension fault C1A20
Amber alert Normal Height Only Fault code pulled with Faultmate is C1A20 - pressure increases too slow when filling reservoir (Intermittent algorithm based failure) It seems most of these are a dying compressor - this in my 07 LR3 which to my knowledge has the original unit. I know it may be... -
Park Brake fault
I think that's only if you're unlucky and toast the actuator...adjustment of the brake shoes is more like an hour tops -
LR3 Stuff for sale. Exp roof rack, ladder, 3 rows or all weather mats
Thanks, I wasn't planning to off road unless I hit the curb as that's what the LR3 is for. Just wondered if you (or anybody else) had comparisons of the RRS regular vs SC and whether you considered it was "worth" the upgrade price ? -
LR3 Stuff for sale. Exp roof rack, ladder, 3 rows or all weather mats
So we have an LR3 in the family already. I'm tempted to add a RRS S/C as a change from my Audi. I know even the SC isn't going to compete with the racers but is it enough spirit add to be a better choice than the regular RRS ? Just curious.... -
Park Brake fault
Well if you don't adjust the EPB shoes and you continue to hear the banshee noise when using the park brake it will eventually end up costing you the actuator if you seize it or strip the gearing.....according to the LR specs you are supposed to get the brake shoes adjusted regularly and after a... -

Cooper Zeon LTZ on LR3 - cracking sidewalls
I do recall some other posts about cracking with these tyres - you may need to search some of the other LR boards though through Google. I went with Hankooks in the end because I couldn't get to the bottom of conflicting reports. I am sure if you send them photos of the problem and hint at a... -
Does a whining sound = failed alternator
Try searching for "diode pack" - I think in some cases this can be the faulty part of the alternator -
Brake Pads replacement at 10K miles
And it's sh*t like this that gives dealers a bad name... -
06 LR3 choice: Base V6 vs SE V8
Actually if you want to decode your VIN with the details of how LR built it there's a demo of something the Faultmate guys are building which is pretty damn cool - see this forum link for details: http://www.**************/forum/topic88978.html (replace the stupid stars with disco3 dot co dot... -
2008 LR3 Suspension dropping while driving
Advice I have seen on the UK forums is to look at the 4x4 display on the nav screen (if you have it) and watch to see if the height sensor indicator changes when you note the drop, this might indicate it's a faulty height sensor or connection which is making the suspension think it needs to... -
Shopping 06-08 LR3s...what are the common issues
As with most car buying 101, get the service history and see if it's been a LR that spends more time in the shop than with its owner. A PPI by a good LR independent is worth spending money on up front (about $200 my local charges) so you know what you might be in for. As far as powertrain, worth... -
LR4 Squeaking brakes!
I don't know if OP is talking about original set of pads or replaced (at that mileage I would think replacement). If non LR pads, then you may want to check the formulation with the manufacturer site. I wanted a set of replacement pads for my Audi and Hawk Performance listed three grades... -
New LR4 not returning to level height
If you can hear the compressor running but the Rover is still not level suggest might be the air blocks/valves. It's your dealers problem though... -
2004 Disco - jackhammer noise
There are some very experienced Rover folks on here but if your description of symptoms is unclear, it's not going to be very easy to provide any help at all. The LR is a complex beast and the noises could be coming from anywhere as you didn't say where it appeared to come from (location) and... -
My LR4 in 2012 off-road and in-Africa
Great pics, thanks for sharing :-) -
Service Light
If an independent shop invests in the right tools/modules for the Land Rover models then I'm pretty sure they can clear the service indicator light just like "the big boys" -
Service Light
Some people like to stick with the official dealer during their warranty period but there's no secret to what needs to be done at each service and no reason a good indie LR workshop would do a less competent job. If you go independent, keep receipts of worksheet should it be needed. I don't... -
06 LR3 Control Arms and Tie Rods @ 57K?
Second opinion doesn't hurt. I replaced both control arms although only one side was in immediate need. I weighed the balance of spending $350 now given the likely requirement of them failing on the "good" side and having to spend another $100 odd for another wheel alignment. Given my mileage... -
06 LR3 Control Arms and Tie Rods @ 57K?
I had both lower control arms replaced recently on my 07 LR3 @ 79K due to a rear bushing which was leaking fluid. By the time you mess around with pushing out the old bush and replacing it you're better off replacing the control arm. I got my indie shop to put reconditioned ones on at $250 each... -
cd player button advice
No, I wouldn't advise getting water near anything like keyboards or other switchgear. If you think it's something sticky, then get some Deoxit D5 which is a switch cleaner - you can buy it on Amazon. I can't recall the formulation but it's not water based and is well respected in the electronics... -
Park brake & fuel cap errors
Communication failures can be battery low voltage related and can either be cleared or may go away after time. Do you ever use the EPB ? I had to pull the fuse on mine for a while until I got it replaced and that triggered the amber park brake warning because it wasn't "there". You may have...
