    Help to buy LR3 or RR Sport

    Too bad - they are plentiful in the States. Cheap too. What would the import difficulty/expense like for PR? Not saying its's a great option, but could be if the hurdles are not too high.

    Passenger side air intake and front sunroof drain

    That foam piece was mis-shapen where the elbow is on mine, so I re-formed it to allow drainage. I kept that top foam since it seemed like it would block dripping water from being sucked into the intake. Not just sound deadening - at least in my head - so I kept it. I DID however gladly pull...

    LR3 Hitch

    Pretty sure it was an accessory/add-on, along with the required wiring (and brake controller) Nothing included by default Used ones pop up every now and then - just make sure to get the latest (stubby version) LR040248 Not the old long one that is prone to cracking

    2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!

    correct, remove cowl to get access - the problem is underneath it also unfortunately, I think the a-pillars must be removed first in order to then remove the cowl so have new clips on hand

    2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!

    I had my cowl - and both A pillar trims - replaced by Safelite along with my new windshield (insurance covered all) Just took some asking on my part Also, not sure if the LR4 still has the same poor fresh air intake design as the LR3 (underneath the cowl) If so, I also highly recommend that you...

    Mistakes LR3

    Any spills near the shifter/terrain response controls? Is there water along the passenger door sill track (under trim and carpet)? Or, sometimes a new brake light switch is the cure.

    Rear air conditioning lines leaking - quick fix

    And yet, I have been turned away for simple AC recharges, alignments, etc. "Because they don't work on Land Rovers" ¯\(°_o)/¯

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    exactly and if you combine a smaller rim with an oversized sized tire, you benefit even more and don't forget, larger selection can also mean lower price

    How do you completely delete TPMS on 2007 LR3?, + other minor issue.

    It may require Land Rover specific diagnostic tools like these Faultmate GAP IIDtool There may be others But you mention they are a Rover Specialist, so I would be surprised if they can't do this If you tell us the system they use, maybe someone knows how that specific one works For me, it...

    How do you completely delete TPMS on 2007 LR3?, + other minor issue.

    I disabled my TPMS using my GAP IIDtool Other tools may also be able to do this, but I don't own other tools I did not remove any hardware (except the wheel sensors of course, they are now rubber stems) My light has not come on since, as expected They didn't do it right - I don't know what...

    What would you do?

    I value keeping my LR3 much more than any book would. What would I replace it with? and for how much $? Seems like you have already made your decision. Are you really seeking opinions? Or just validation.

    What would you do?

    Why are your 2 options "coil overs or scrap yard?" so, $1500 for coils . . . or throw it in the trash? How much $ to have a trusted shop inspect - replace/repair your compressor, air tank, lines, or whatever else is needed to get that system 100%? Seems you have already done 75% that effort...

    Not a mechanic what do you guys think the diagnostic read means

    If you paid for coolant system bleeding, then return to have them confirm they got it right. These are difficult to purge correctly, but you should get what you paid for.

    How to add Bluetooth, etc., to 2006 LR3 HSE

    I just did this - for a grand total of $17 I now have "factory" BT streaming audio! $11 for BT, and $6 for a new AUX plug. This item fits the 3/8" hole perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LXOIVKI Could not be happier! Completely hidden, auto-on/off, easy connection, OEM sound quality...

    Lost key

    when you buy a new key at a dealer, you provide your VIN and then LR makes/sends a key for that vehicle. There may be independent shops that can do this for you also - I think there is one here in California who has done it for customers for less $ than dealers charge. I suggest maybe trying...

    Lost key

    Where are you located? I have never heard of the "2 key minimum". Also, any key ordered thru a dealer should be closer to $300/ea, and is VIN locked so would work 100% - no "ifs".
