    tire pressures 42 & 33

    Just took delivery yersterday. This was a very difficult decision because when most people are paying between 35-37K for a new 2008 SE, I am paying $62K for the same vehicle. I owed 42K on my 2008 Toyota financed into this LR3 which I still cannot afford not to mention I found a safety defect...

    tire pressures 42 & 33

    I found that by increasing front to 38psi and rear at 42psi, the ride is much more controlled and and smoother at higher speeds, as well as better breaking and cornering.

    tire pressures 42 & 33

    On my new LR3 SE, door decal says 33psi front & 42psi rear. Why 9lbs more in rear?

    4.4 (aj8)

    A few questions regarding the jaguar 4.4 (AJ8). How many catalytic converters does this motor use in the LR3, and what other polution devices does it have? Also, why are there different HP & torque ratings between jaguar, and other range/land rover's? Does this motor have an external trans to...

    LR3 questions

    I'm looking for a true 4x4 SUV, similar to my 2008 Sequoia, which has part time 4x4, full time 4x4, 4 low, and locking rear diff. Its not that great off road, but excellent in snow. While its super big, its cramped for me the driver with harly any head room. I do like the LR3, and at this...

    LR3 questions

    I am an enthusiast, and if the defender was still marketed in the US, would be willing to pay 10K over MSRP. The LR3 while a great vehicle hasn't had any reviews since 2005 when it had numerous issues. This is mainly why I'm reluctant to buy it, and spend this large sum of money. I'm not...

    LR3 questions

    10K off sticker is only 5K. There is a 5K markup between MSRP and cost. What I belive is happening is that they are giving me much less for my trade than its worth and using that additional money.

    LR3 questions

    I just cancelled the deal. I also received responce from LRCG, that they are no longer accepting new credit apps. This brings up a red flag. How can they advertise 0% rate on new 2008 Land Rover's and then close there doors to new applications? Makes me wonder if they will continue sales in...

    LR3 questions

    Its never finalized until you sign the loan agreement, whether it be a car, or a home. I've purchased about 25 new vehicles in the last 30 years and I understand the game. I don't like dishonesty, and when a dealer profits on hidden monies. I guess I will find out today if this vehicle was...

    LR3 questions

    The reasoning here is, that if the dealer gets additional money from land rover for these vehicles to use in their loaner fleet, and they sell it at the same price that they would for a vehicle they bought for retail sales, they are making a more money--which in turn means the customer should...

    any detailed instructions for changing oil & filter

    According to dealer, included oil change is 7500 miles. Thats a bit much, even for synthetic, and especially when new breaking in.

    LR3 questions

    That was never my question. I know its new, but how do I know if the dealer purchased it new for there loaner fleet, and not new for there retail sales. I was told by another dealer that when dealers purchase for there loaner fleet, they get additional monies from land rover.

    any detailed instructions for changing oil & filter

    That sounds easy. I always do my own oil changes. My sequoia uses a cartridge in a filter housing which is a pain to remove, not to mention a mess when draining.

    technical differences between discovery 3 & LR3

    I see in the UK, the discovery 3 is what is the LR3 in the US. Why the different model name, and are they the same hardware?

    handling conering

    I know, and I need a truck or SUV capable off road, but also capable on highway and winding paved roads. The LR3 I test drove handled very well, but how does this air suspension do when its below zero, or after many miles?

    New to LR

    Being a such a unique vehicle and not many produced like lets say a chevy tahoe, why is resale value terrible on Land Rover?

    handling conering

    My Sequoia is heavier and corners almost as good as a jetta had several years back. Why would color make a difference with handling or warranty?

    LR3 questions

    The odometer has 43 miles. 10 of which came from there other lot, and 5 miles that I test drove. I know its not a loaner, but how do I know if they purchased it for there loaner fleet? My reasoning here is, all there non loaner vehicles have the technology package (NAV) on the SE, and all...
