If you were to sell your LR3 what would you get if...
The motorhome forums discuss this, and there are still places that don't sell it, but it is becoming more available. -

If you were to sell your LR3 what would you get if...
It is prevalent at major truck stops. All 2007 trucks and motorhomes need it, and regular diesel will damage their engines. -

If you were to sell your LR3 what would you get if...
Are you talking about the ultra low sulfer diesel? It is available now, and all diesel engines sold in the US starting in 2007 can only use this fuel. -

Extended Warranty for 4 grand. Should I get?
I have 48,000 miles. Have to decide before 49,000. Truck is 2.5 years old. I can add 3 years and to 100,000 miles for a little under $4,000. Sounds pricy, but I am sure LR3 repairs will be pricy as well. I am sure I will stay with the truck as I have the winch, rock sliders, and a little... -

Problems with steering wheel surface
So I decided to speak to the service manager. I told him that I have about one of the most used and abused LR3s he has probably seen. However, I have owned many luxury vehicles, like Audis, etc., and none of them has ever had the steering wheel start bubbling after 2.5 years, or 7 years for... -

Problems with steering wheel surface
My dealer is telling me that the steering wheel is only covered for 12,000 miles as it is "trim." Any one else get this line? I am sitting in the dealership right now. -

active locking rear diff
I couldn't agree more. How complicated is it to have two options on the production line? -

navigation while moving?
Yes, there is. Search for it and you will find the procedure. Unfortunatley, it only works until 2 minutes after you turn the engine off, so it must be done each time you get in the vehicle, but it comes in handy. Here you go... -

active locking rear diff
The full size spare might hang in some situations, but so what? Wouldn't you rather rub the spare than something else back there? -

active locking rear diff
The $500 option for the full sized spare and rear locker is the biggest no brainer in the history of the world. The wheel and tire is almost worth the $500, and you get the locker for FREE. A non locked LR3 will try to use the brakes to achieve the same thing. Which do you think will... -

LR3 needs new front brakes at 12k miles?
Light on the dash. Also, you can take a flashlight and look at the pad to see the thickness remaining, at least on the outside one. -

LR3 needs new front brakes at 12k miles?
Did your sensor go off? Have you seen the pad? Twice i have been told that I was in dire need of pads, and there was a little less than half of the pad remaining. When the sensor went off, I had quite a bit of pad left. However, just be aware that the sensor is only on one pad. -

New 18" tire on the market
John from Chicago. The dent ended up being completely covered by the plastic trim when we put it back on. -

Need advice about what to do with my LR3
I also listen to AM, and have the intermittent resonance problem. The first few attempts at the service department resulted in "we couldn't duplicate the problem." Since then, I have grown to accept and love those rattles and hums. -

New 18" tire on the market
As luck would have it, I also blew my sidewall on Poughkipse of my trusty Wrangler HPs. I did have a spare spare with me, however. He blew the sidewall of a Cooper? By the way, about half the trucks in our group made it up Poughkipse, as did an LR3 on another day. -

New 18" tire on the market
And just who might that be? I defy you to find the dent in the door just above my brand new set of sliders... (when we put the plastic trim piece back on, it turns out that the dent is completely behind it and not visible whatsoever. How lucky is that? -

Supercharger & Brembo Brakes. . .on LR3
Yeah, I did the Stoptech brake upgrade for the track. The S4 modded as I had it is so fast and heavy that the braking requirements are obscene, especially if you carry every bit of speed into the corner. And, as for the rotors go slotted if you care about brake performance, go drilled if you... -

Supercharger & Brembo Brakes. . .on LR3
It is a fallacy that upgraded brakes will improve stopping distances unless the factory brakes are really really really crappy. I upgraded the brakes on my Audi S4 for the track to Stoptechs, which are very much like Brembos. Any decent brake can apply more braking power than the tire... -

How long did/should your brake pads last?
With my Audi S4, the rear calipers required a tool to "turn" the piston as it compressed. -

I used a c clamp and the old brake pad. -

How long did/should your brake pads last?
For the front, you need a 13mm and 17mm spanner wrench for the front and a 15mm spanner for the rear. The problem is that you need the wrenches to be narrow. I haven't been able to locate "spanner" wrenches at any auto supply store, so I just ground down the wrenches on a grinder. I just used... -

How long did/should your brake pads last?
I changed my brake pads twice myself. The first time at around 20k, the rear sensor came on. Dealer wanted $850 just to do four pads. I think it was in the high $200s for the 4 pads and was a pretty easy install. We just needed to file down some wrenches because I don't have spanner... -

Best HSE tire option
I see that Goodyear makes a 20" Silent Armor Tire, but not a 19". What is up with that?
