Reliability
Perhaps getting a bit off topic but food for thought..... "Consumer Reports reliability ratings for cars, trucks, and minivans: are they reliable?" http://www.allpar.com/cr.html -

Reliability
I bought an 06 LR3 SE with 35K on the clock back in December, so far has been flawless. I've owned Honda, Acura, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, VW, Audi, Porsche, SAAB, Ford, Mercury, GMC, Dodge, Jeep. I put 125K on a new Dodge Durango with virtually no service other than routine mainenance and I had... -

Mileage vs. Age
Interesting question, I just went through the exact same proposition 2 months ago. I ended up with and 06 SE 4.0L with 34K miles which I purchased for $21,900. As with you, the key factor with me was at least 1 year of factory bumper to bumper warranty. This was a must. Generally, I always... -

Good Deal on Rear Lamp Guards on eBay
Actually, there are many very good deals on eBay for new OEM LR3 parts. I've seen everything from engine, suspension and brake parts to interior dash and trim to body panels, bumpers, lights and more. Also, many OEM accessories. Just simply search "LR3" in the search field then click "Parts &... -

Which brakes wear faster - front or rear?
Maddie, damn that made me laugh, bamboo shoots! We just installed bamboo floors, I see bamboo in clothing and I just saw some commercial for lotion of some sort that had bamboo in it. Hilarious! -

Which brakes wear faster - front or rear?
Historically it did seem to be the case that the fronts always went first due to reasons cited. However, on my 07 Saab 9-3 Sport Combi and 02 VW Passat the rears definitely are designed to and did wear significantly sooner. In both cases, the rears at around 40k and the fronts more like 70k... -

Which brakes wear faster - front or rear?
Recently bought an 06 SE with 34K. The brakes feel great, no issues. Being proactive, I would like to pick up pads, rotors, sensors, etc. so I have them when needed. I find very reasonable deals on these oem parts online. I am wondering if I should expect to be replacing the fronts or the... -

what type of roof rack?
I've always used the Thule square bar stuff. Got my first one with my new 87 Saab 900 and have amassed a pretty nice collection over the years. Bike, kayak, ski and snowboard attachments plus load carriers, straps and more. Each vehicle only requires a new Tracker Foot pack and I'm ready to... -

Neglected Alloy Wheels
Thanks for all of the input. The last few posts sum it up pretty well. I've read alot of threads on this on the Audi, BMW, etc. detailing forums. The bottom line is keep those alloys clean from the beginning. I've always followed this on my new vehicles and the wheels look great for years... -

Will I need a new suspension air compressor eventually?
The one I was watching on eBay sold for $106. Brand new Land Rover part. I hope if I ever need one I can get that deal! -

Anybody know the correct windshield wiper torque?

Neglected Alloy Wheels
Normally I'm thinking about how to get my new, pre-owned LR3 dirty, but... it looks like the prior owner neglected the alloy wheels a bit. There is some brake dust "fused" on to the wheels in some spots. I started with the basics; Maguire's, Mothers, etc. spray on and rinse off, not even... -

Wipers making crack-back sound
No "release" for the wiper arms. I just replaced the blades (Bosch ICON's 22") and took a very close look at the arms wondering the same thing. The housing at the bottom of the arm hits a stop after a few degrees of lift. These have a hook style end and you only need to lift them a bit to... -

Anyone have to replace exhaust system yet?
Just wondering if anyone has needed to replace any or all of the exhaust system yet on their LR3? If so, year and miles. Is it a stainless steel system? -

Will I need a new suspension air compressor eventually?
Hey Tyrnian, thanks for the input. That's pretty much what I was looking for. As long as they are available from alternate sources down the road, no real worries. I saw a few new on eBay for under $200 and was wondering if that was just a fluke or what. There is nothing worse than having to... -

Will I need a new suspension air compressor eventually?
I've only had the LR3 for a few weeks so I won't stake my life on it but I'm pretty sure there is just the one. Of course, there are a number of things that will need to be replaced as the vehicles ages and you can't predict what and when. I'm just thinking that if it is likely to go at 80k... -

Will I need a new suspension air compressor eventually?
It appears to be the "levelling" compressor. I was not aware of another. Any clarification would be helpful. Thanks. -

Will I need a new suspension air compressor eventually?
Just bought a 2006 LR3 SE 4.0L with 34K miles. Great truck and I plan on keeping it for quite some time. This forum is a great resource for maintenance issues, DIY, etc. I understand the suspension compressors do go out and are also subject to damage. Although I don't need it now I have an... -

Buyers Checklist!
I'm with you Learth, generally you're paying more than you need to with a dealer transaction. However, occasionally a deal comes up that may make sense. Depending on how long they have had the vehicle in inventory, the time of month or year, the salesperson, etc. In my case I spent several... -

Buyers Checklist!
I just picked up a nice 06 LR3 SE 4.0L with 34K miles and went through the same process you're probably going through now. I don't really have a check list but for me the biggest issues were prior ownership, maintenance and warranty. I found a well maintained, one owner LR3 (verified through...
