06 LR3 P0175 check engine code just came on
A follow up, I changed the EGR valve and this seems to have solved my issues. No smoke on startup/heavy load, no spark knock, better mpg. I bought an LR2 a week ago and pulled it home on a 20' aluminum car hauler. I estimate the weight of trailer and LR2 to be 5500 - 6000lbs. No spark knock, no... -
2022 LR Discovery, Lease or Buy?
Just take your money and throw it out the window. Buy a new car if you can pay cash then drive it until there's no warranty. Never lease a 4x4. NEVER. If you talk to your financial advisor I am certain you will get the same advice. Keep in mind, a car, especially new, is an absolute waste of...- BigZ

Transmission confusion
I had a shifting issue with 2nd gear. 170k miles on my transmission. As far as I could find out it had never been serviced. My local shop and the LR dealer advised not to touch the system. After some research and pretty much nothing left to lose, lol, I decided to do a complete service. It was... -
Thermostat housing torque specs
I've taken my thermostat housing off several times to fill/burp the coolant. Only way I've found to successfully and quickly do it. Remove the thermostat, fill coolant into the manifold until full, install thermostat, start and top off reservoir. Never torqued the housing just snug the... -
Lower Control Arm ball-joint
I replaced my upper and lower arms last summer. Lucky8 with the orange bushings. I recommend planning on cutting (grinder) the arms off. You'll save hours. I know saving bucks is important but wrestling with those bolts for hours is a gamble anyway. I cut the arms then the bolt itself. Cuts off... -
06 LR3 P0175 check engine code just came on
I ran into this code a few months back along with spark knock, bluish smoke (occasional) at startup and drop in fuel economy. Pulled the injectors and had them rebuilt at a local shop. All the injectors were plugged up and two stuck open. Replaced the plugs, oil/filter at the same time. There... -
Noise Hunting - after turning off engine
Same exact sound I'm having on my LR3. I assumed it was the rear locker motor. a few months ago I had a warning appear after a fast take off, can't remember the dash warning other than pull over asap. pulled over, turned off, plugged in my iid gap tool, reset the codes, drove like normal. Later... -
Add 1 Quart of Oil after 6000 miles
This is a few years past the last post but my experience with transmission in my 06 LR3 4.4L. I did a full service with new solenoids, gaskets, filter, fluids etc. Was having issue losing 2nd gear. Everybody said "don't flush the tranny". Terrible advise. After my service it's perfect (don't... -
Coolant Low level alarm but level normal
Look at the float in the expansion tank. If it’s stuck or broken then it’s the tank. I just changed my expansion tank as the float was in pieces. The new tank didn’t come with a sensor but I installed and used the old sensor. Works perfect. -
2007 LR3 control arms replacement vs bushing replacement
There is no way to replace the bushing only due to the process of getting the control arm off. Plan on replacing the control arm with bushings. Just did mine and there is simply no way to use the old arms. -
Sunroof leaks
I had a leak on the passenger, RH side. Took the outside air intake cover off and could see the drain tube was not sticking out all the way due to corrosion. I took some needle nose pliers and gently pulled the drain tube out further. No more leaking inside. Didn’t have to pull all of the... -
Lower control arm... ugh!
Doing my front control arms upper and lower. I took the heat shield off and used a pickle fork from that angle. Came right off after two hits. Control arms are from Lucky8 with upgraded poly-bushings. Plan on cutting off the lower arm at the bolts, that is what I did. Easier than trying to fight...
