    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...

    New water leak!

    After a week of rain here in Oregon, my LR3 has decided to let some of the water in. I suspect the sunroof drain tubes, but the garage are going to look at it on Tuesday. It is very mild at the moment. If I had a covered place to pull stuff apart i would do it myself, but no such luxury...

    First road trip with LR3

    I finally got all the pre-existing conditions sorted on the LR3 and we took a nice trip. There was 6 of us, a dog and a 11month old baby spread across a LR3 and an 07 Expedition. Both cars were fully loaded and had ski hitches attached. We started in Portland and went to Mt hood for 4...

    Sunroof stuck in tilt position

    What a pain..l. The sunroof is stuck in the tilt position. The fuse is ok, I tried holding the button in the forward position, I can hear a relay click above me, so power is getting up there, but the motor is not turning... Is there any manual override? I have to drive 200 miles this week in...

    Brake light switch fixed my problems

    My wife drove the LR3 today in cold (for Portland!) temps. It is about 32F outside, she got 5 miles and had all the dash lights come on. Suspension fault, HDC, orange park light... I told her not worry and just head home, I changed the brake light switch (2 min job) and all is well... As...

    Thinking about going in to the mud, for the first time!

    I really want to get out on to a trail, I have never done anything like this before. I don't count my snow experience or sand experience. What should I be taking with me? I have a couple of 2x20 recovery straps and 2x Warner 3/4" shackles. But those won't be much help on their own...

    Portland, Oregon - newbie

    Hi there. I have a "new to me" 2007 LR3 HSE. In a previous life it was owned by a Beverly Hills soccer mom.... I figured now I have this awesome LR3, I should try and do a little off roading with it. I have no gear and no idea, so here is the question: Any one around here feel like...

    Battery voltages

    Hi, totally new to the LR3 world, but already I understand the importance of a good battery or two. I took delivery of a 07 HSE 2 days ago and the HK radio would not go past 20 and I got the low battery sign :(. Thanks to google and this forum, I found the 735 hack and I could see the...
