interior lights
I've done this in my LR3 - pretty painless apart from the passenger footwell courtesy lamp which doesn't have much slack cable. The LED replacements do have a polarity - if they don't appear to work, rotate them 180 and try again. Took me about 20 minutes I think to go all round and cost was... -
2006 lr3 Replacement leather drivers seat
Have you tried any leather reconditioners like Leatherique ? It helped on my 07 Ebony interior. YMMV. -
LR4 Parking Sensors
Shouldn't but I usually find my dealer has a minimum one hour charge. They claim its because their laptops boot up so slowly to connect to the Rover ;-) -
Hitch Receiver Parts?
So I'm not quite clear, did EVERY LR3 come with the receiver as standard equipment or was it an optional accessory? My new to me 07 didn't have one... -

EPB Part #
OK. Update time :mad: After doing the ritual adjustment on the shoes, the EPB is no longer screaming but making a hunting type sound as featured on the You Tube video. Tried the unjam and latch via Faultmate but no banana. At this point I'm guessing the module is toasted. It’s the... -
iphone
From what I have read the reason there is a loss of some function and the expense of the adaptors is that the old 30 pin connector was analog and the new one is digital. No idea what effect that might have on the USB at the other end. But I don't see any immediate reason why bluetooth hands... -
iphone
It's usually a function (or malfunction!) of the bluetooth stack, which I believe has stayed the same for iPhone 5. The change to the bottom edge connector in the iPhone 5 may be problematic - you can still get audio out (with an adapter from Apple) but my understanding is that remote control... -
EPB Part #
If it's generally gear stripping that kills the EPB, it would be *nice* if there was a rebuild kit to replace gears. Theres the labour element of getting to the module and into it but a rebuild kit would have to come in way less than $700. I fly RC planes and we can buy servos with metal... -
EPB Part #
That's what makes me suspicious. I had to have the brake shoes replaced when the EPB locked on solid and wouldn't even release manually, requiring a tow home on a dolley. My neighbor and I managed to get the back disks off and remove the toasted shoes. I pulled the fuse on the EPB to avoid any... -
EPB Part #
They claim four hours labour and I think the part is listed at $800. I'm going to make sure the module is really toast before I think about laying out that cash. Does anybody recommend an indie LR shop in Austin Texas area? -
EPB Part #
Deep joy. Looks like my EPB module may have fallen off its perch and can't get back up. Beautiful plumage my a*se ;-) Anyway it seems there have been several revisions and an overlap on part number with the RRS - I have an 07 LR3 and I did find some reasonable pricing on the SNF500150 part #... -
Rotors: Slotted, Drilled, Slotted-Drilled, Regular?
On my other car hangout (Audi forums) I heard that drilled rotors are more prone to cracking under stress than cast holes, so the folks there tend to go with slotted. DBA also get good reviews on the Audi circle too... -
A few oil questions
I agree, there is a difference though between "is it worth putting synthetic oil in from a cost//benefit perspective" and "will I screw up my engine because I upgraded my oil" -
A few oil questions
Is there any objective evidence to support this old wives tale ? I've heard the same type of claims for "high mileage oils" where it is claimed the extra detergent(s) could dissolve "stuff" I've heard just as many counters to the effect that oil is oil is oil - as long as it meets the... -
FS: Faultmate FCR for LR3 (single VIN)
Just got my MV2 in so price drop to $260 inc shipping to USA mainland. -
FS: Faultmate FCR for LR3 (single VIN)
***SOLD*** Mods - please feel free to move this to classifieds - I tried to post there but although my account is activated I cannot post to classified for some reason. Bought in June of this year - perfect working order - selling due to MSV upgrade. Cost me $360 shipped to USA, looking for... -
EPB Bedding In Procedure
I guess my concern is that it may put extra strain on the EPB actuator and result in its failure and expensive replacement. I've only had some screeching (not the weird sounds that a certain YouTube video featured) and I've tried to keep that to a minimum to avoid lasting damage. It seems like... -
EPB Bedding In Procedure
So I've done an all round disk and pad and shoe change on the LR using Bodsy's Bible. At the moment the fuse is pulled on the EPB and the shoes adjuster is all the way in. A couple of questions for those who have already been this way and maybe have some tips/tricks/gotchas that weren't in the... -
Help: rear brake disc removal woes
Despite a previous adjustment that stopped the EPB scream, the LR3 locked up the other day in a hotel parking lot. Couldn't release the brake shoes on the park brake at all, even with the cable release after pulling the fuse out of the EPB to save it killing itself (hopefully). I had the Rover... -
programming garage door opener
I went through the same thing - I don't think my '07 has a red led but I went by the yellow flashing. I also noted I had to hold the allocated button in for a few seconds on each press to get recognized. Took a bit of doing over but I got there in the end. The book I read said keep pressing your... -
Gas grade - 87, 89, higher?
I would love to be able to buy gas without the ethanol sh*t in it.... -
Tire pressure monitoring & new tire install
I had just had a new set of tires and the TPMS did not need replacing but there's a suggested service kit (about $5 a wheel) which I think gives new o-ring and some such. My tire shop did break one sensor so they replaced it on their dime. The only problem I had was their generic OBD reader (non... -
Parking Break
Parking brake adjustment stopped my LR3 screaming - the service manager I spoke with at my local LR dealer said 90% of the problems are due to adjustment problems especially if a non-LR aware brake shop does any work. If you ignore the screams you will probably get rewarded with a big bill to...
