    Battery or Alternator?

    Just to close this out, it was the battery. I had the alternator tested by a local imports place and it tested good. The bad news is the right side tie rod bushings are shot so that is getting sorted with a full alignment. Other than that the brake pads are down to 5mm so I will need to change...

    Battery or Alternator?

    Mighty, mighty clean looking beast! Moving down here was the best thing I ever did. 5 acres of land and all the outdoors to play in :) Is there a "detailing thread" it would be good to exchange ideas. I struggle with the plastic trim and the alloy wheels. Never look really good. The plastic...

    Battery or Alternator?

    Hahahaa! Ducks! I am originally from London, so when I moved to PDX in 2006 I was told by a neighbor "You better be a Ducks fan if you are gonna live on this street" So that made that choice for me :)

    Battery or Alternator?

    Well, after some TLC my LR3 threw a wobbly at me! After being sat out for a week the battery died. So I charged it over night and it ran fine for a few days. I did the 753 screen check on the voltage and it was all over the place, 12.0V to 14.0V. The wife drove it to work on Friday and and on...

    Leaving the hood / bonnet open overnight for rats.

    Yeah, i have this issue too. 2 things I have been told about. 1. Stick a bar of irish spring soap under your hood somewhere, apparently the strong smell keeps rata away 2. Get a "rat zapper" and put near your car. Hope this helps.

    Travel trailer towing - first experience

    The LR3 is a very capable towing machine, but there are considerations. 1. It is a short wheelbase vehicle so towing a long trailer is not a great idea 2. Land Rover never really got their heads around USA towing so they say not to use a WD hitch. 3. Air suspension is a funny thing, you will...

    How much weight in cargo area?

    The manual gives a general rating, but the door sticker is specific to your vehicle and takes in to account any "extras" installed at the factory that can impact your payload capacity. What I do is: Load up. Drive through a weigh station and check: Front axel weight Rear axel weight Gross...
