    Johnson Rods

    good stuff squatch and blackforest ham have some nice gear in regards to rods. I got dinged using other 'fixed' rods we'll say that boost you way up and there is a problem for some of us. I was at 2.5 higher and ran into a binded rear air canister that needed replacing. My independent rover...

    LR3 Interior Care

    You'll want to clean and condition the leather at least twice a year. It really makes a difference. My close friend has a very sweet 04 BMW, in which she did not take care of the then-very nice leather and it hardened and cracked and blackened. The conditioning will keep it from hardening...

    Not sure if it's related, but I've had drainage problems on my 06 lr3 that were attributed to the channels in the pillars. Dealer made some cuts at corner to free them up and seems to have done the job.
