What should I fix first?? Please help
The reason it is so expensive is all the work is flat rated. My independent did a bunch of similar work, and just charged me straight time. It worked out better for me. You might consider a metal pan, with a replaceable filter, which would be cheaper in the long run. The tranny fluid can be... -

Lower Control Arm Bushings
I decided to go the whole arms route. They did finally come out with a softer one than the red. There is also another company in the UK that make them. All in all I got soured on the idea based on the crappy customer service experience and decided they didn't deserve my money. This is due to the... -

Rear diff is damp
I suggest 2 each TZB500050 OEM LR side shaft seals. At a minimum, drain the fluid, capture it and inspect for rust. If you have rust, water or metal shavings then you should remove it and have it rebuilt as well as the seals. The fluid should be changed every 25k miles. You can order the seals... -

My Love/Hate relationship with LR
I fell into the trap of 250-1000 repair bills early on. Eventually I wised up and began doing my own research, planning and repairs where possible. This put a significant dent in maintenance bills. I thought everyone knew that you are not going to get the best deal on a trade in or outright... -

Available mobridge digital pre-amp
It looks like it connects via the MOST bus. It would be interesting to know / hear the advantages. I doubt the speakers could handle too much. The description doesn't claim to be an amplifier though it just states it provides a connection to an aftermarket amp. MOST Digital Pre-Amp... -

Rear diff is damp
It should be safe to drive. You need to be the judge if it is just seeping, or how bad it is leaking. The vent connects to the diff case, and then terminates in the body behind the gas fill with all the other fuel lines in there. The vent connection on the diff is on the top, near the end... -

Engine Tune Up / Fuel Cleaner
Which model E3 plug. Any special considerations? I would be interested to learn more from some folks using them. OE vs E3 vs Others. -

Rear diff is damp
If the vent became plugged it might contribute to the leak. When you change the fluid, pay attention to rust contamination and metal flakes, and a pressure release (related to the vent) the pressure is mainly an issue on the front, there is a TSB on it. The case itself is sealed with a reusable... -

2006 LR3 HSE 45K MILES service at dealership
You should go ahead and change your differential fluids with that age of a vehicle. I would also change your transfer case fluid. Irregardless of what LR suggests. -

2006 LR3 V8, 118k miles, hatch issues
+1 on bbyer and Trynian suggestions. I was out of town when mine went. Dealer charge was about 350 bucks. -

Engine Cleaning
I use a spray of simple green and a light hosing or very careful high pressure if you have to use that. It should hose off nicely. There are some areas you need to be particularly careful with, such as the battery/box fuse box. You don't want water going into the firewall behind the battery box... -

Terrain Response Assembly Unit Install
I wonder if that's taken apart if we can water proof some of the wiring or assembly in there. Any thoughts? -

2006 lr3 roar sound as you accelerate
Good point to check your air filter. I fitted a cleanable aftermarket one. I was a bit skeptical based on mixed reviews but I have been quite happy with it. I bought the cleaning kit, and cleaned and re-oiled it and i'm good to go. The goofy safari snorkel helps cut down on the dirt, but I... -

Finally came up with my own hitch design, and busy manufacturing it now. Very Nice.. -

Yet Another Tow Hitch Problem
Would you post up some pictures of this, mounted and unmounted. I've been in touch with the Mitch hitch folks, it might be a long expensive exercise to get things going. What were the costs? -

2006 lr3 roar sound as you accelerate
Does it do it all the time or once in a while. It is normal once in a while. It is the cooling fan. If it is constant you may have a problem with your fan clutch. -

Land Rover LR3 HSE Tires
I like them just fine for on and off road. Having done a couple of sets now, I think they wear ok. It probably helps to keep them rotated. I agree they are probably middle of the road traction wise in mud particularly but no problems with anything else. I like them in particular because they... -

Suspension goes into Extended mode when lowering.
That shock is a good point, harder to test though. I recently replaced all my OEM dampers with Koni. At 104k I felt they old ones were a bit mushy. The new ones are nice, and a little less hard off roading. Very harsh if you hit the right pothole though. I installed new seal kits as well, and... -

Lr3 HSE clicking noise on front wheels
No such thing as a front end alignment per sea on these. You need a computerize 4 wheel alignment. I let the dealer do that one... I would fully expect you need to change the rear ones, and the roll bar bushings as well. Did you buy new OE bolts. I wouldn't want just any bolt thrown on the... -

First dashboard "service reminder"
It is typically reset if you get your vehicle serviced at the dealer. You need a computer to reset the service minder. I would be suspicious that it has not been properly serviced before you purchased it. Do you have the service records for it, has it had new plugs, belts, etc. When was the... -

Suspension Fault
You might listen to the compressor, is it laboring more than usual, running a long time, etc. It might be heating up. The heat could harden up the aging decadant in the air dryer and restrict it. It's a good idea to consider a renewal kit on the compressor and new air dryer with comes with new... -

Suspension goes into Extended mode when lowering.
hmmm, I believe if it detects an obstruction that will cause that as well. Is it clean underneath? Some users report: 1. squashed air pipe to the front after having the rear air con pipes replaced. 2. height sensor fault possibly or just needs re-calibrating? 3. compressor and / or air dryer...
