2008 LR3 overheating -coolant not circulating
After blowing out a head gasket, I decided to just buy another good used engine rather than trying to repair mine. While searching, someone told me that he thought that there is a Ford engine that is almost exactly the same engine that comes with the LR3. Anyone have any thoughts on that? -
2008 LR3 overheating -coolant not circulating
I had the same problem (one of many) and it turned out to be the viscus fan clutch assembly. Make sure that it is running properly. Just a gripe here, the temperature sensor is in the bottom of the coolant recovery bottle, if you run out of coolant it won't indicate that you're burning up your... -
LR3 owner advice?
Hi Houm, I'll go by the numbers. I just got back in from a run and I have 181,400 miles on it. And yes I agree, when they try to use a SAE lug wrench with their impact gun it tears them up. And you don't find out until the next time you have to change a tire in the field. Almost all my flats... -
LR3 owner advice?
I'm the second owner and it had 85K on it when I purchased it in 2011. I'm here in Southern California mountains. My work calls me to be in riverbeds, mountain trails and mountain sides during fires and body recoveries. It is the "transition" model 2005-2006. Sold in 2005. Oh and one more... -
LR3 owner advice?
I know, but when it happens to you, it's a real problem. I have 140K miles on the rig. 2 months ago, my trans was leaking oil from the top electrical connection. That was $1,000 and it was from the company that installed it 2 years ago. Oh, and I forgot this one: Was having trouble with... -
LR3 owner advice?
People always ask me "Isn't this expensive to be off-roading in?" My answer is that it's not the purchase price but the $3,000 a year in maintenance that's expensive. Personally, the 2006 LR-3 is a piece of crap. But, it's my piece of crap. Wheel air lifts go out every 2 years, the radio/CD... -
Advice on purchase of 2005 LR3
If you haven't bought a 2005 LR-3 yet, I'd seriously reconsider it. I've had my Rover for 8 years. I spend about $3,000 a year on maintenance. Everything that could go wrong has. It's like being an addict, you know you should stop, but you keep giving it one more chance. Did all the...- Docddd

Hi Guys and gals from California
I have an "Emergency Incident Response Vehicle" that allows me to range from mountain tops to river bottoms. It is fitted out to access fire roads and cow paths in the Verdugo Mountains and the Big Tujunga nature preserve, both of which people like to fall off of or into at any given moment...- Docddd

Few More Emergency Response Vehicle
A varied group for a given month. It's really fun when you roll up, get your shots, and the emergency personnel gather round your Rover asking questions.- Docddd

Emergency response vehicle
I have two sets of tires. The ones you saw before were for high speed (for a Rover) runs to city locations on city streets. Now that wildfire season is on us, I've changed to more aggressive tires. I never use "mud" tires because of the noise and lack of traction on slick streets.- Docddd

Emergency response vehicle
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY. I accidently threw out the template for the snorkel and had one hell of a time making another one. Re: THe rear ladder. Be careful you don't unplug the wire to the door switch. I did and it took me two hours to get the tailgate re-opened.- Docddd

Emergency response vehicle
It also has 1/4 inch steel rock sliders and a front rock shield. Now to your question: I had a choice of off road heavy duty tires but after running through the pros and cons, I came to this decision; most of my responses are on paved roads (85%), sometimes slick with water (10%) and some...- Docddd

More views of the rig We decided NOT to install the exhaust snorkel because if we were ever in that deep, we'd really be in trouble. :smile:- Docddd

Emergency response vehicle
This "Go Anywhere" rig has carried paramedics up fire roads that were too steep for fire equipment, blocked roads at traffic scenes and went of swift water rescues in the Big-Tujunga Canyon.- Docddd
