    2006 LR3 SE V6 4.0L

    For get the bushings. Start off with all general maintenance first. Pull off the maintains list from British Atlantic for 100 K. Do the Transmission fluid replacement first using the pan convention they now sell. This is the most expensive part of the Vehicle you are toast if this goes...

    Reliability

    LR3 Owner 2008, Have had it for 5 years. I have decided to deduct 10 IQ points from my over all score because I own one. They are Junk compared to any similar Toyota or Honda. The crap that Land Rover owners will put up with regarding their trucks is unbelievable. How can someone think just...

    All the battery posts got me scared ....

    BByer, I am glad you chimed in. The CTEK US3300 was designed by the same engineer that is helping create North Star Batters. That is what is weird about LR. Most charging systems charge the battery then the battery will run the rest of the electrical system.. If you run the Land Rover at...

    All the battery posts got me scared ....

    The problem with the battery in the LR is that the electrical systems is messed up. The alternator poweres the electrical system first then it charges the battery. As the battery gets weaker and weaker it puts more of a load on the alternator for charging. The alternator was not designed for...

    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    ABS SENSORS, O2 SENSOR, LR OEM TAIL LIGHTS, and BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED...still have the 3 amigos

    In my humble opinion I would 1 check the alternator, 2 check the battery. In my experience LR3 are weird about the electrical. Autozone has the best gear to check this because my friend designed the equipment. Past that in Denver Co we have a company that all they do is check Automobile...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    You are absolutely right. I have had an LR3 for 4 years now and it is a piece of Junk. Absolutely baffling why people defend the Land Rover. The only reason I think people on this forum feel that the truck arn't junk is because they have their ego wrapped up in them or they have never owned a...

    LR3 With Transmission Fault

    It's not only if the engine is running if he replaced the oil pan with a metal one. Their are specific transmission temperatures that you must use when filling the transmission. I did the Metal pan conversion 4 years ago with out a problem thus far.

    General thoughts on buying a 2011 LR4 with 100k miles?

    Don't Do it. Have an 08 LR3, I lived in Montana for 1 year in Bozeman. Trying to get it repaired with 1 shop in town that works on them and the dealer 500 miles away. The only real options for parts is NAPA. Good luck on getting codes updated. Don't do it...

    My Big Fat Costco fail

    Let me ask a question. If you can't lock it then why when you go to an airport and leave your car for a week in the normal height position you will come back and the air compressor motor will run to pump up the air in the suspension But if you leave the car in the same conditions with it in the...

    My Big Fat Costco fail

    I thought that you locked it in it's highest position because it would shut off the valve that would let any air escape. Same thing if you want to test for a leak over night in the air suspension.

    It is the alternator going out. Change it soon. It is probably the rectifior within the alternator.

    Battery Life

    I understand and have felt the battery problem over and over again. I am now using a https://www.northstarbattery.com. They are God awful expensive but I have talked with the president and a sales engineer within the company. You wouldn't believe how this whole industry works.
