    Any thoughts on BG EPR cleaner?

    Has anyone used this before? BG EPR part # 109. Our 2012 RRS with the SC 5.0L engine has 202K miles on it. We've had a lot of work done to it and plan on keeping it. Was thinking this might be a good preventative product to use. Sounds like it will clean oil passage ways and the piston rings...

    I believe our steering rack went out on our 2012 RRS last weekend. The pump started whining and I added some fluid and all was good but by the time we made it a few miles back to the hotel it was starting to whine again. I crawled underneath it and a constant stream of fluid was coming out...

    I'm thinking of replacing the factory fresnel lenses with clear lenses. Has anyone done this? I believe they're 3" lenses but I don't know what the focus height is. I'm hoping someone maybe has the specs for the factory lenses. Thanks

    LR3 4.4 V8 vs LR4 5.0 V8 reliability?

    Brake pads that work well when cold

    I need to replace the front pads and rotors on our 07' LR3 HSE. I've used ceramic pads on our old D2 and our Subaru Baja turbo and haven't been happy with them on the first stop of the day. We have a steep driveway and when backing down and you go to apply the brakes the vehicle doesn't stop...

    07' LR3 vs 10' LR4

    A local car dealer has a 10' LR4 for sale. How would it compare to our 07' LR3 HSE? I really like our 07'. Would there a big difference in the 10' LR4? I know the engine is a 5.0L vs the 4.4L ours has. Are there more problems with that motor? I might go look at it just to see it in person.

    Lifted LR3 alignment question

    So I'm planning on buying a IID tool. If I program the suspension for a lift should I get the alignment done with the air suspension set to the lift height or I read somewhere there is a "tight tolerance mode" for a dealer service alignment.
