    My New Snow Shoes

    Nice find at a great price! Show tires + LR3 + winter = unstoppable. Too bad that the seller didn't realize that LR3 and X5 share the same bolt pattern ;)

    Whats up with the lifetime Auto Transmission Fluid?

    BMW uses the same ZF transmission as the LR3. They have defined "lifetime" as a fluid replacement every 100K miles. Without a drain plug, it needs too be siphoned out. I don't think anyone is suggesting to "change transmissions every few years" as you are asking above.

    Project Grill Lights

    Looking good :beer: I had a similar setup on my MINI with a 4-light Hella 500 kit on the lower grille (2 fogs + 2 driving).

    Old NAV issue re-visited

    Sounds like part of the "charm" of LR ownership to me ;) I also have a 2005, but no history of an overheating Navi unit. Is it the Navi itself cycling down, or the dvd drive or just the display screen?

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Nice pics Boaz! The SoCal and Colorado folks have some nice scenic places to go wheeling.

    What's up with this guy's grill?

    Hmmm. I like the deer story. Could be sufficient cover to convince the wifey that a new A-frame and driving light kit was a necessity ;)

    What's up with this guy's grill?

    Thanks morrisdl. Yup, that is exactly the one from DAVEW that I saw too. Here is another similar setup from bigcarpschaser on the D3 site:

    What's up with this guy's grill?

    Saw a 4 light "freched" setup on disc3.co.uk last week - will see if I can find the pic

    If the rear still goes up and down, then it doesn't make sense that it is compressor failure. Keep us posted!

    Broke my first part... replacement?

    Nathan's LR3 did not have air suspension, one of a handful in the U.S.

    Odd Shutter at 70MPH with Cruise Control

    See post #4 above - looks like that is the answer. Also, are you using 91 or higher octane gasoline?

    Need Advice On Purchasing A Used LR3

    Here are a few common issues to look for: http://www.landroverworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14781 Very low miles for an '05, nice find! Service-wise, it is due for a new battery and brakes, would check those two first to see if already done. Oil/filter are due at 37.5K

    Side plastic molding

    Try an auto body shop. I had one replaced (several years ago) for about $50.

    Odd Shutter at 70MPH with Cruise Control

    These are two different issues, I've experienced both. One is with the engine, where it shutters on accelleration at higher speeds. This first appeared when gas was reformulated with increase ethanol blend (~2008?). Search, there are several threads on the subject. The other issue (and...

    Land rover part # catalog / what is out there to use

    BMW/MINI have a great online website too - every part for every model. Haven't seen one for LR other than at a body shop. Perhaps at the landrovertechinfo.com website?

    Sound familiar?

    Like Houm said, these occurrences are rather typical. I get this when the weather turns colder, with a newer battery. A reboot clears it. As long as it isn't happening frequently, I do not get concerned. Keep us posted on this one!

    red line on the tach?

    It's an automatic transmission. Isn't a tachometer kind of pointless? I doubt that the ZF Transmission Control Module would allow breaching the engine max RPM. Anywho, I'm not close to my LR3 or Owner's Manual at the moment and can't answer the question, sorry.
