When to change the oil?
I have a '05 LR3 and had a small, independent shop do my last oil change. They put a 3 month, 3,000 mile sticker on the window for my next change. From what I've heard and experienced with European cars with synthetic oil (mainly BMW's) that these line of thinking isn't accurate. My old... -
Soggy passenger floor
for about 2 weeks now my 2005 LR3 has been having a very unpleasant odor when I would first get in. Having a dog and a baby, I thought they were to blame. However, after some cleaning and investigation, I found that my passenger side carpet (up front) was soaked through. The rubber floormat... -
tailgate latch stuck open
I'm loaded up in my 2005 LR3 headed cross-country for a funeral. We make a regular stop and the top clamshell of my tailgate starts being unresponsive. Sometimes it won't open or respond when I lock/unlock or push the upper tailgate release button. A call to the LR service center has me... -
DCS debate: on or off when offroading
When I posted a few weeks back for tips to take my LR3 out on my first off-road adventure, I got lots of feedback telling me to make sure I turned the DCS off before I started. Of course I got to the course and the Land Rover instructors that were leading us through the course told us to... -
Airbag SRS indicator light on
Hello, A few days ago my Airbag SRS warning indicator light up, about 2 minutes after driving the car. It reset itself and went off on next start up, but came on a few trips later, again after driving for a few minutes. Now the indicator is on constantly. Anybody experience this before... -
Engine Cleaning
After a couple of washes/scrubs most of the mud is out the exterior of my rig after my fun day at Tahuya. I popped the hood and found a light coating of dirt on a lot of the engine compartment. no clods or clumps. If I pressure wash it, is there a risk of damaging connections or... -
First dashboard "service reminder"
Hi all, I got my LR3 back in mid-March, with 98K miles on it (it is an '05). I'm now at 99,830 and when i first turn the car on, I see the dashboard has a "service reminder" countdown. The number started dropping, and is now at -4 miles. I honestly expected it to ding and tell me what I... -
First off-road adventure!
I'm pretty pumped. The local dealer (Bellevue, WA) is sponsoring an all-day off-road event at a 4x4 park in the peninsula (Bremerton, WA). I expect it to be pretty mild, with little that will really ding up the Landy, but wondering what tips you all might have for newbies. -
Simple DIY fix for hvac problem?
It appears the air vents located in the center console, located between the driver and passenger seats and pointed into the 2nd row, don't work. Is there anything simple I can do or try to get them to work again? -
Aux jack....so quiet
The Aux jack in the center console (facing the 2nd row of seats), seems to really "shroud" the music coming from the MP3 player. I have to turn my Zune all the way up, and then crank the stereo in the Landy to hear the tunes. Is this a standard issue others have run into? I've had a little... -
Passenger seat "farting"
hello all, I have a (new to me) 05 LR3 with 98K miles. about 6 weeks after I took ownership, it sounds like the passenger seat is "farting" between 10-60 seconds after i turn the car on. I typically do lower the car to get in and out, so it is in the process of raising up, but the sound...
