what can i expect??
As you stated, you can expect tighter steering feel and response. I noticed it immediately. +1 to bbuyer's comments - I had the rear swaybar bushings done at the same time. They tend to wear out about the same time as the front LCA bushings. -
Land Rover Evoque to Cost $44,000
The initial customer demo vehicles have arrived at dealerships here on the East Coast. I visited two of the dealerships in the Philadelphia suburbs last Friday, Oct 21, and drove the 5-door. Coupes were also available.- JackMac

Are the OE Rubber mats enough?
The ones from LR are great. Got us through 6 winters here in the Northeast, and will soon put them back in for another. -
Range Rover Sport Bushings on LR3
I made it over 80K on the originals. Won't have the LR3 by the next time they are replaced. -
control arm bushings vs unit
Yup, that is a good price from a dealer. Let us know how it turns out. -
control arm bushings vs unit
If you are keeping the stock LR bushings (rather than upgrade to aftermarket polly bushings) then you would replace the entire control arm. Parts cost is a little higher, but labor is much lower. Just had both of my front lower control arms replaced recently. You will notice the improvement. -
Land Rover Evoque to Cost $44,000
Test drove the Evoque last week with the wifey. It exceeded expectations. This is primarily an on-road vehicle, even though it does have some level of off-road capability. Driving dynamics were very good - responsive steering, decent acceleration from the Ford 2.0 ecoboost motor, and...- JackMac

Engine Light
MAF and T-stat are very common around your mileage (ask me how I know:) and will throw an amber check engine light. Need to get the code read to confirm. Both are relatively easy DIY replacements. Oh, and I assume you reseated the gas cap already? -

Upkeep for long-term
Change your thermostat, if it hasn't already been done. Some of the above items are part of routine maintenance (I.e. fluids). Others are done if/when needed (I.e control arms). -
I has a new toy :P
Congratulations on your new toy. We are nearly twins. CMG - time to clean the monitor? :P -
LR3 Won't start!!!
Could be a number of issues. I suspect that whatever killed off your old battery may now be impacting your new one as well. Possily the alternator is not sufficiently recharging, or there is a ground fault somewhere, potentially the starter soleniod. Can't really diagnose it remotely, you... -
LR3 Won't start!!!
The recommendation to attached the negative lead on the dead car to the engine block is to prevent any spark. A discharged battery can leak hydrogen gas, which could be ignited by the spark. This pdf shows the standard procedure: http://www.cartalk.com/content/features/roadside/jumpstart.pdf -
What did you do to your LR3 today?
Had both front lower control arms replaced, plus new rear sway bar bushings. Nice to have the handling back, and good as new! -
DC100 "the new Defender concept"
The D100 above is a concept, and is not a production-ready version. Visually, looks a bit off the mark for me. Will wait to read about the mechanicals, if any details are released at Frankfurt. -

LR is saying 2015 for the Defender replacement. The above is a concept, and is not a production-ready version. Visually, looks a bit off the mark for me. Will wait to read about the mechanicals, if any details are released at Frankfurt. -

That is a good number for a 2005 HSE trade. Was that from an LR dealer or other? -

The LR3 has been on the market for nearly 7 years now. A number of owners have crossed the 100K miles threshold, and many more are not far behind. For those who have "crossed over" to the other side, please share your experiences here, so that the community can benefit from your experience... -
Saw new EVOQUE tonight
Funny that you mention the Audi. Took my wife to test drive the Q5 last weekend. I asked the salesman if they percieve the Evoque as a direct competitor. He never heard of it. I expect that will change very soon! -
Check Engine Light
bbyer - thanks for the links, they are very helpful. This looks to be a very common issue. Owners may consider proactively replacing. If the thermostat gets stuck in the closed position (rare, but possible) it could cause a blown head gasket. -
Check Engine Light
I just did the DIY thermostat replacement yesterday. Thank you to those who documented the process. Just wanted to add two items. 1) Putting the new thermostat in place was difficult due to spring pressure, as others have noted. After trying for way too long, I decided to remove the 3...
