    2012 LR4 Slow suspension leak...?

    one side note - if you determine you have a bad valve block then you don't have to replace the whole thing (yes its easy but overly expensive) you could just buy a replacement o-ring kit (sold by britishpartsofutah.com) and possibly others as well...kit fits perfectly and you can rebuild all...

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    Yeah I've never ordered from this site...just happened to stumble across it looking for something else. I usually stick with the known vendors but sometimes I do venture out if I really need something that no one has...or just go to a pull your part.

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    I'm not sure if this is what you're after but they sell the whole upper tailgate latch as an assembly (I'm sure yoou can find it in other locations - I just happen to run across this the other day and bookmarked this one)...

    New to me 06 Air Suspension Problems

    if no leaks then it's almost certainly one of the height sensors thats starting to go or is reaching its travel limit and purging the air (because aparently that's the safest thing for LR to do - never understood that logic) - if you look on dash display when you raise and lower your truck if...

    2006 LR3 HSE: Replacing Front Lower Control Arms

    Also as a side note - heat is your friend...adding a little heat to the bolts and/or axle housings can make stuff move a little easier too. I was lucky and my bolts weren't too bad - I did use an air chisel bit with a pointy end to drive those rear bolts out so I didn't have to pound at weird...

    New to me 06 Air Suspension Problems

    Like noted before-sounds like a air leak in the system...there are a few types of leaks: 1. leak at either of the 3 valve blocks - easy test is to pull your suspension fuse before you park it at night - check how the car stance is in the morning (if a single axle is on the ground - ie if the...

    Cv boot

    If it's just a small hole you can actually use 3M 5200 Marine Sealant ($15 at Home Depot / Lowes probably cheaper on Amazon) on it - I did this exact same thing on my rear half shaft 3 years ago and I've had zero problems with the repair. Clean the area really good - scuff the boot and apply...

    Haven't verified yet but have it from a well known tech that it's a standard thread - left to loosey.

    LR3 Front Crank Seal Leaking - QQ

    Quick Question - tried searching but really found nothing...I have the manual for the LR3 and I have a suspected leaking front crank seal. The removal and replacement of the seal seams straight forward enough but I know the crank pully bolt will be just a bear as it's factory tight to 280...

    LR3-engine just shut down while driving

    I know a common problem with the LR3 harness is present on the passenger side floor area, especially if your cowl leaks - I would probably try checking all connections and then pull the carpet on the passenger side and see if you couldn't find anything there...

    Red Suspension Fault 2006 LR3 SE

    Just another thought...since this happened to mine...aside from the sensors - it might be that the system is internally leaking back into the tank. My front was doing this for about a month before it just stayed on the bump stops. Thought it was the pump and turned out to just be the valve...

    Major Coolant Leak

    By the sounds of it you probably got lucky. Stock coolant sensors and the dash violent temp indicators usually notify you after there is a problem and aren’t really that helpful. But since they never went on and you only lost a few cups (assuming you still had some fluid in your reservoir tank...

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    yes for sure I've made that mistake before...but these aluminum anything once marred are pretty much toast and would have to retap with a bigger bolt...

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    Good to note on the tap...by any chance do you know the pitch...I will assume its a 6mm x 1.0 pitch (as that's the most common and I should have a tap for that already but I'll make sure I do before starting.) Don't quote me on this but the wiring loom that passes through the circular seal at...

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    gotcha...plus these bolts are super easy to source just about anywhere as well.

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    I can't recall if I sourced the parts from AB or not - saddly I've had the parts for quite some time and no time to install them. I know when I was looking I parted everything out separately as no "kit" existed but not sure if I ended buying them separately or as a kit later. brain fade is...

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    Thanks for super useful list of your field tools and even most service tools back at the garage...like you I have a plethora of tools to do various service needs but this is an excellent guide for the LR specific field set for sure. I might have to steal a little of your field tools and replace...

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    The main advantage is that they swap the non serviceable stock plastic pan with no real drain plug with the metal x5 pan for added heat dissipation and it has a drain plug so you can swap fluid later for the intermediate fluid change (no need to swap filters every time especially if your say...

    Question for Group

    are these symptoms paired with a rocky idle? If it is then it may be your fuel injectors getting gummed up. It's a common issue for these ford based motors...I've used the OTC 7649A fuel injector cleaner right into the fuel rail and it's magic for the injectors...run through a 16 oz bottle...

    Snow Chains

    Second the z-chain - cheap and you'll probably never need them. We go to Tahoe multiple times a year going up and over the I80 and throughout the Tahoe basin (both the north and the super snowy west side) we've never had to use chains with the rover but I always carry the z-chains with me just...

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    I didn't even think about that, yeah removing that cross member would probably not be that bad...I'll take a look at that this evening...thx

    Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?

    So I'm finally going to swap pans and do a trans fluid change to my 06 LR3 - I know the basic proceedure but I'm looking for anyone that's actually done the swap to give me some guidance on what low profile torx set they used. Those back few pan bolts look mighty tight to the frame cross member...

    Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch

    I don't recall where I saw the video - but there is a DIY out there somewhere that shows a very discrete "emergency" manual release cable that you can install on the interior of the panel with a little pull ring - similar to a modern trunk release that seems like a very good idea since these...
