    LR3 Value in your area?

    I was thinking of trading in my LR3 and was at least expecting Kellly Blue Book prices but I found that my LR3 is not worth as much in the south since demand is low. I was offered 18K as a trade. The LR3 I have is a 2005 HSE with 66,300 miles and all available options, including navi, cold...

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    Yeah, I guess I appologize. I was already ticked, so the comment about the lack of knowledge from a former Service Manager pushed me over the edge.

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    Are you really a smart ass or do you lack the ability to communicate properly. Almost every post you comment on has smart ass undertones. I think it's funny you have the Service Manager tag placed on your Avatar and that's my main complaint on this post. Most Service Managers and tech's are...

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    I had an agreement with the Service Manager that they would purge all of the R134a and do a complete replacement. This is not usually done on a /c service but I wanted it done to purge out the $30 stuff with additives that you get from the local parts store. That's what made me all the more...

    Dealerships - How honest are they?

    I took my LR3 into the dealership yesrterday for an A/C cleaning and a recharge. The price was quoted at $180 so I thought why not. They night before I took the LR3 in I took a R134A reading and wrote down the pressure on the high and low ends. Next day after the A/C service I brought the LR3...

    100 Degrees in NYC and my AC is semi cold??

    Most of the refill bottles for the coolant come with a gauge. Some of the cheaper ones do not have it but you should spend the few extra dollars and get one with the gauge. Here is a link to what I purchased at the local parts store. If you want me to text message or email you a photo of the...

    100 Degrees in NYC and my AC is semi cold??

    Just did mine two weeks ago. Really easy to do. Just pick up a bottle of the 134A at the parts store. Stay away from the 'stop leak' kind. I went with the one that had the 'NASA' coolant that allows it to run cooler than normal. I got it at O'reily Auto Parts for around $30. The connector hose...

    Front end suspension deflates/inflates

    Sounds like leveling to me, I have zero leakage but mine does this same thing sometime. Also the driveway thump sounds like the control arm bushings getting old and stiff.

    Air Conditioner Delay when vehicle started- Defrost Program Button Flashes

    Just an update. After 8 hours in the LR service department on Friday they attempted to give me several reasons. In the end, they said the climate control unit performs a system check when you crank the LR3 and if it finds a fault code the system will attempt to recalibrate. During the...

    Transfer Case & Differential Fluid Specification

    I used Royal Purple 75w 90 Gear Oil one week ago today for my front diff and also my rear electonic locking diff. So far so good. I've got to the dealship tomorrow for a air con service and I plan on asking the tech about the gear oil to get his opinion on it. I'll post what he says.

    Air Conditioner Delay when vehicle started- Defrost Program Button Flashes

    I have a question that I haven't found in any previous forums. Sometimes when I start the LR3 the Program Button on the air con that has the Defrost image (top button on far right) flashes for a few seconds before the air con comes on. This is typically when I have left the air con on when I...

    Tha REAL answer!

    I'll stick with my standard response, if you can't afford $4.00 + gas then go get another car. You bought a Land Rover for a reason and the gas is the least of the expenses you will encounter. Quite whinning and go get yourself a Civic....lol

    Opinions on the rising cost of gas...

    With the K&N you are going to hear the pros and cons from both sides, but I can tell you this. If your air sensor goes out you can send it in to K&N and if it's their fault they will cover the replacement cost. In my opinion, if you leave too much oil on the filter you are asking for trouble...

    Opinions on the rising cost of gas...

    Just a thought,... another thing to consider is the exhaust system as the LR3 gets older. I've noticed a separation between the downward spout of the manifold to the connection of the catalyic converter on a lot of LR3's. I took mine to an exhaust shop and had the guy retighten the bolt ($25)...

    Opinions on the rising cost of gas...

    I don't think I have any secrets to share. I guess one day I will end up finding out that my estimated MPG gauge on the dash has been incorrect all along. Everyone says tune up around 100K. I have a 2005 with a little over 63K miles, however, I do a little something each month. I changed the...

    Opinions on the rising cost of gas...

    $3.92 here in Jackson MS. I keep the LR3 tuned up and fuel system clean (Seafoam) so I get always get 15 to 17 in the city and 22 on the hwy. I know these numbers are high compared to others, but land is dead flat around here and I am a slow driver and I try to accelerate slowly. Never over...

    WInd Deflectors

    I tried to find a pic in the past but was unsuccessful. When you get these and put them on, come back to the forum and let us know if they increase wind noise. I've been interested in getting some for a while, but I'm worried about extra noise. Good luck.

    Apparently I'm an idiot because I can't seem to upload the photos. I sent you a PM, give me your email address and I will send the pictures to you via apast into a Word document.
