    Starter motor runs continuously

    So after a second examination, Land Rover Seattle replaced the fuel pump and some related parts (O-rings and such). After pulling down the gas tank they found the terminal leading to the fuel pump had also over-heated, melting the plastic housing in which it sits on the top of the tank, which I...

    Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll try the less expensive things first and report back.

    Starter motor runs continuously

    But motor won't turn over. I was thinking fuel pump or fuel pump relay but LR Seattle says my 2005 SE-V8 has thrown no codes for a fuel problem, they observed no problem and they were stumped. After I left them last week the problem has of course reappeared, inconveniently. I have a brand new...

    No left signal/brake on trailer

    Anyone locate the six fuses supposed to be located in the left rear hitch storage area? I have the factory hitch package on my March 2005 build SE-V8 and I can't locate these, although their functions seem to be controlled by fuses 8 and 14 in the passenger fuse panel.

    LR3 Compressor Question

    That does seem like a long time to me as well. Mine (a 2005 OE-never been relplaced) does not run that long at start-up.

    Difference between 05/06/07?

    I had Bluetooth added to my '05 at delivery by the dealer. The dealer installed kit does not have the full functionality of the factory installed option (no phone book/contact import, for example). But it does fine, dials by voice command and works well with Blackberry/iPhone and Android...

    ARB Front Bumper

    I have had mine for about 4 years with no issues. It is a bit difficult to replace bulbs for the aux. Turn signal/running lights on the ARB, but otherwise I'm a happy camper. No issues with the install. I had mine powder coated and glad I did. No rust issues as I have seen on some of them.

    To black the grill or not to black the grill?

    It's easy enough to spray paint a replacement part with a can of flat black laquer. I did mine and it covered amazingly well and has a matte finish. Also, it has held up well to wear and weather over 3 years.

    To black the grill or not to black the grill?

    I like the black It's what I have, since I had to replace mine and cheaped out on getting it painted. Easy enough to spray some black laquer on the new part.

    Cowl Trim replacement

    Good advice about replacement. I just paid through the nose to have this done. Mine was leaking where it separated from the windshield.

    New trailer hitch concept/idea

    I'd do the hitch mod just to avoid scaping the apron of my driveway everytime I pull my boat trailer over it. The LR stock hitch just does not have enough clearance.

    cost to replace air suspension

    Plus, the air suspension (with its ability to raise if high centered to clear an obstacle as well as adjust for leveling and ride quality) is one of the main advantages of the LR3. I would never want to change mine over to springs. I have had absolutely no reliability problems in over 5 years...

    My LR3 is in the body shop!!! #$%&

    Todd- Sorry to hear this. Good luck with the repair. Idiots who drive without cleaning their windows and lights off drive me nuts.

    Dumb question: why do the rear brake light not work w/out car being on?

    Don't believe it. Nothing wired across the pond lasts for long.

    Cruise Control not permitted

    I don't know the name of the update. Just ask the dealer, I guess. I was told that was how they fixed it.

    Snow and ice = lo or hi range???

    I use Hi range and GGS terrain response for most driving conditions in snow. However, Houm is correct that low range can be useful for slippery descents. So also is pushing the hill descent button going down. While this is braking, the anti-locks do a good job of maintaining traction and...

    Moab Trail Ratings

    Roverine, you're in Utah, right? Have you gone with the dealership before? How was it? Yes, I am in Utah and have lived here for a long time. I purchased from Centerville, but I've never been with a dealer or club run. I have quite a bit of experience with friends using a number of prior...

    Moab Trail Ratings

    I agree the first-best upgrade you need is tires. You do not need huge oversized ones, just better traction and sidewall protection than stock. Sliders would be great, but I don't have them and I have no real sill or underside damage after quite a bit of wheeling in Moab and Canyonlands. Best...
