Nokian Hakka
I have studded Hakkapeliittas on my LR3 in Colorado. I would not get studded snow tires again unless I was planning to drive on sheer ice often, especially given how heavy the LR3 is. I have to be careful to avoid turning the wheels when stationary to avoid the studs carving deep grooves in my... -

Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?
In terms of styling, the new Bronco is what I hoped the new Defender would be. Definite home run. I agree that the (likely) low towing capacity is a major strike against the Bronco. Looks like I'm destined to keep my LR3 for the foreseeable future, which is perfect because that's in line with... -

DIY LR3 catalytic converter replacement - how difficult?
Thanks for the suggestion. I was not aware of such a product. Sounds like that might be a good option for me, at least until I unexpectedly stumble into a vast fortune and can get the cats replaced. -

DIY LR3 catalytic converter replacement - how difficult?
My 2007 LR3 with 135,000 miles is throwing P420 and related codes. I have been told by a Land Rover mechanic that it's not the O2 sensors as I initially suspected, but the catalytic converters are in fact bad, and will need to be replaced to get the check engine light to stop coming on. Was... -

Tips for dealing with LR3 windshield wipers that don't swing out
After my first bout with snowy and icy conditions since owning my LR3, I really wish the windshield wiper arms swung out more than 4 inches and stayed out like the wiper arms do on every other vehicle I've ever owned. The fact that they don't makes it difficult to to wash or clear ice and snow... -

Is it a truck, though?
Both the truck enthusiast and the Land Rover enthusiast in me find it offensive when someone refers to a Land Rover as a truck. If you own a Land Rover and you think this makes you a truck guy, you're mistaken. According to Merriam-Webster, a truck is a "motor vehicle designed to carry freight... -

Is the tow receiver optional/did my LR3 have one at some point?
Thanks for the responses. For others who may be researching the same issue, I pulled the panel on the rear bumper and found that I don't have the trailer wiring connector installed. I could see that there's a hole where the connector mounts into. I would need to buy the wiring kit. Looks... -

Is the tow receiver optional/did my LR3 have one at some point?
My wife and I recently bought a 2007 LR3. I'm looking for the removable hitch receiver. The part that the removable receiver slides into under the rear bumper for towing is there (the hitch receiver receiver). The owner's manual says that receiver should be stored "behind an access cover on...
