    Traffic Message Channel

    Hi Folks, On our recently purchased 2012 LR4 HSE, the traffic message channel (TMC) icon within the navigation screen consistently has a red slash through it (which the manual states means it isn't receiving the TMC). I've done some research, and we definitely have local radio stations that...

    Brake Light (Tail Lamp) Issue

    Hi Guys, Long time, no post. We recently noticed that our rear brake lights are out on our 2005 LR3. I bought new bulbs - didn't help. Checked all the fuses I could think might be a culprit (fuse slots 15, 22, etc) - they were all fine. Here is the weird thing - the center brake light...

    FS: QTY 4 Goodyear Wrangler HP Tires 255/60R18

    Hi Guys, I know these aren't the most loved tires on this forum, but we have a set of gently used, stock, Goodyear Wrangler HPs that we took off the LR3 when we bought it (to put a more aggressive AT tire on). They've been sitting in bags in our garage since then, and my wife is tired of...

    Remove Rear Bumper?

    Hi Guys, Unfortunately, someone decided to back in to our LR3 and put a nice hole in our rear bumper (nothing else got damaged, but the bumper will need to be replaced). Of course they didn't leave a note (:mad:), so I'm trying to figure out options - either take it to the body shop, or buy...

    FS: 2002 Audi TT ALMS Edition - 47.8K miles, Colorado - $18.3K

    Hi Guys, So I know this isn't an Audi forum, but clearly we all enjoy fine cars, so I thought I would post this up here too. The time has come – I’m searching for a S4 to fit our new baby in, so the TT must go. 2002 Audi TT ALMS Edition Misano Red over Silver Leather 1 of...

    Using Terrain Response to Improve Gas Mileage

    I was reading our latest issue of Land Rover Lifestyle Magazine tonight (a great magazine by the way - I get tons of car magazines, and this is the only one my wife allows on the living room coffee table - www.lrlmag.com ), and there was a very interesting article on the Terrain Response System...

    First Trail Ride - Boreas Pass

    OK, so it wasn't really much of a "trail", but it was a beautiful drive in Breckenridge, and it was about as close as my wife would let me get to a trail ride with our little three month old :biggrin: He did awesome - although he slept the majority of the way. When he gets older we'll...

    Autoexpress Ranks LR3 (Disco3) #2 Car

    I don't know much about AutoExpress, but it appears to be a UK car magazine that does a survey of cars based on a large number of criteria - the Disco3 (LR3) came in #2! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/driver_power_2008/archive/ -Rich

    Scratch Remover

    I'm sure I'm not the only one, but there are a couple things in this world that I'm pretty passionate about that I continually spend money on, always looking for the next best thing: 1. Salsas 2. Zinfandels 3. Car polishes/waxes When it comes to car polishes/waxes, I've already given...

    Land Rover / Jaguar Production Schedule Leaked

    As soon as the deal was inked, apparently someone leaked Jaguar and Land Rover's production schedule for the next 8-9 years. Very interesting to see. The article said that as part of the sale, Tata has agreed to current plans for the next five years, so these are probably pretty solid. Beyond...

    Anyone have experience with Saab?

    I know this isn't the correct forum for this question, but I respect your guys' opinions. I'm vaguely thinking about looking at a Saab 9-3 - either a 2007 2.0T or a 2004 Aero. Both are CPO, have similar mileage and are within a few thousand bucks of each other. I'm planning on going and...

    Center Differential?

    I've got a question on how the center differential works. We are up in Breckenridge this weekend at our friend's condo - as I was parking on Friday night, I pulled pretty deep in to a snow bank to make sure the people behind me could back out easily. The front tires were in snow about 12"...

    Feedback to LR on Terrain Response

    Hi Guys, I hope it is OK to cross post something like this. On the Disco3 forum in the UK a LR employee who works on Terrain Response is soliciting feedback on it. I think that is fantastic, and I'm very impressed that they would ask for feedback on a forum like that, so I wanted to post...

    LR3 Accident

    Hope this isn't a repost - I found this while searching for new LR3 wallpaper. Pretty scary considering it must have passed through the entire car (and right through the drivers seat). Apparently this happened in Russia. -Rich

    What's in your garage?

    This may have been posted before, but things look a little slow today so I thought I'd post up this question - what cars do you have in your garage? We have two: My car: 2002 Audi TT ALMS Misano Red (1 of only 500 in the US, 750 worldwide) My wife's car: 2005 Land Rover LR3 SE V8...

    How to best clean LR3 Rubber Floor Mats?

    Strange question, I know :hmmmm: I love the rubber floor mats we have in our LR3, but when they get dirty, they are extremely hard to clean. I'll clean them with a brush and soapy water, wash them off, only to have them dry and look hazy/dirty. Any tips/tricks? I'm thinking of taking...

    Just completed a 2500 mile road trip for Christmas...

    and I have to admit, I'm extremely pleased with the Rover. It did fantastic - four adults, fully loaded to the gills with suitcases and gifts (couldn't even see out the back) and hit all sorts of crazy weather (fog, snow, ice, you name it). The Rover did great. It went the majority of 650...

    Trickle Charger Question

    Hi Guys, This isn't for the LR3, but I figure it is a fairly common question and you folks are always helpful. I am starting to look at getting a trickle charger for the TT. It doesn't get driven as much anymore (gotta love the LR3 :biggrin:) and is sitting pretty often. It is always...

    Poll: LR3 Reliability

    I saw this on another forum and thought it was a good idea given all the questions around the LR3's reliability. Typically on forums you only hear when someone is having an issue - very rarely do people post a thread about how great their car has been :biggrin: So this will give everyone an...

    Trip to Grand Mesa in Colorado

    Thought I'd post up some pics from a recent trip with my Dad and Father-in-Law to Grand Mesa to elk hunt (I'm not a hunter, but didn't want to pass up the opportunity to spend time with my Dad and Father-in-Law). This is the first real trip we've taken the LR3 on. On the highway (from...

    Range Rover R?

    Hope this isn't a repost - did a search but didn't see anything. My favorite part is that they are testing it at the Nürburgring :biggrin: http://www.leftlanenews.com/range-rover-r-future.html#more-5955 -Rich

    Recovery Straps

    Any recommendations on recovery straps? I've read up on them quite a bit (sounds like you want one made of nylon so it stretches, no metal tow hooks to turn in to projectiles, etc). Does anyone have one they like? -Rich
