Battery life
You are cheating. Yes, keeping the battery on a maintainer is an excellent way of keeping your battery good for a long time - my complements. I get maybe four years out of my Interstate H7 (fits easier) but only use a maintainer in the winter and not everyday - more like a week at a time. My... -
Battery life
Yes, per above replace the alternator. The link below has a couple of files within that discusse the charging system setup on my LR3. I expect there is not much difference between the 3 and 4 with regards to the electrical system. Well, I guess it did get even more fussy. In brief, the... -
Fluctuating RPM's at constant throttle (throttle hunting, surging, gear hunting)
You may wish to refer to my post #16 back in 2019 when I had 357,000 km on my 3; it now has 473,000 km (294,000 miles). I replaced the engine oil temperature sensor that is connected to the water temperature sensor that is connected to the computer that is connected to .... well you get the... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
Ice and snow plus potholes are my main concern re my grocery getter. Many years back, it switched out the factory 19" HSE rims for factory 18" Cromodora rims. I then installed 235 65 R18 tyres which gives me a narrower tread but taller rubber between the road and the rim. Other than stocking... -
Aux radio button kaput—stuck on SAT
I am assuming that it is a CD that is stuck in your HK 6CD-465 head unit? If so, about all I can suggest is the Eject Multiple Discs instructions on page 48 of the LR3 Audio System booklet per the attached pdf segment. -
Aux radio button kaput—stuck on SAT
I have not had your problem but since I have never used the aux channel ..... What I have had is the "no radio" just silence. For me, this often happens when the starting battery has been replaced and I start the engine for the first time after the install. No audio, but the display shows a... -
2005 HSE - Which fuse(s) disengage the touch screen?
It sounds like you have access to all the wiring diagrams so the files in the link below may be of no assistance but that would surprise me. The files relate to the entertainment, Bluetooth, Nav and fibre optic systems in my 2005 LR3. https://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=34462...- bbyer

05 LR3 transmission trouble
I noted the comment re the Transmission Control Module. Per the jpg's it is located on the firewall behind the engine starting battery. You will note the 3M black electrical tape I have wrapped around the two rubber cable guides. This is to reduce water ingress onto what is effectively a... -
05 LR3 transmission trouble
Yes, that is correct. The link below is to a number of files related to the brake light switch and how the brake light circuits are tied not only the bulbs but to the Hill Decent Control, (HDC), the ABS, and then the tranny as well as the cruise control - it never ends... -
05 LR3 transmission trouble
While not an apparent solution re this thread , for me, only in colder weather, I ended up replacing the oil temperature sensor located down near the oil filter on the 4.4L V8 of my LR3. The problem was the transmission hunting at low speed and it would go away once the engine etc had warmed up... -
Defender 130 is out!
The short answer is no. The question is why? In particular, why are the new versions smaller on the inside but larger on the outside? My only guess is something to do with unit body construction. I guess what annoys me so much is Toyota continues with body on frame vehicles - what do Toyota... -
Defender 130 is out!
I think it was the flat rear that sold me on the 3 - big on the inside; small on the outside. The new Defender seems to have it backward - maybe that is what happens when there is no frame under. The 3 even has three roof lights that the 130 now boasts of having. It is almost as if the design... -
Battery/alternator issues - do these voltages look healthy?
The link below is to a pdf file in my gallery related to the alternator and more significantly, the internal regulator within the alternator. https://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3801&pos=1 The battery might be beat now, but my guess is that the regulator located within the...- bbyer

Defender 130 is out!
Well, the 130 is getting closer to the LR3 and 4 but I still wonder where the space went - big on the outside, small on the inside, and why no flat floor now. This is a link to more 130 videos. -
Trailer Wiring kit 2008 Range Rover Supercharged
The link below is to a number of what I will call trailer hitch wiring files for my 2005 LR3. I do not think your 2008 RR will be much different. https://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497 I purchased the official LR trailer wiring harness from BP Utah. I expect Atlantic...- bbyer

HDC Fault, Engine Fault, Special Programs Not Available, EPB Fault, and more HELP!
The above two posts are certainly appreciated. #41 says the "replacing the brake light switch was the solution" and #42 provided another solution to the problem - something I had not heard of prior, hence I learned something. That is how the Board is supposed to work - provides and... -
Help we have an electrical problem
I am not really familiar with whatever the Wolfbox is. I see per their website there are a number of models, hence which model did you install? https://wolfbox.com/product-category/all-products/ Am I to assume the Wolfbox connects to some power source within the headliner - presumably... -
Rigid spring installation vs air struts
I was rereading my previous post #9 and I kind of have to agree with Houm above. I bought my 3 because it had air suspension whereas pretty much 15 years ago, nothing else 4x4 did. I still have it 15 years and 400,000+ km later I guess because it has 4 wheel independent air suspension and not... -
2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP
You are probably correct and for me, it was just wistful thinking but I figured I read it somewhere that a change of one would eventually self calibrate. I cannot find that article however but I did find below from an LR3 suspension overview which agrees with your comment. This means the GAP... -
2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP
Re 1. above, in theory yes. Attached is a picture showing the cover of the newer AMK compressor that replaced the original Hitachi. The new case was deeper than the original and hence clearance was reduced a bit but primarily it is a slightly different shape than the Hitachi case. My... -
Keyless Entry Antenna Location
It seems you are getting an error code but are you experiencing any problems? I ask as for the most part, I regard those error messages as an indication that probably something is wrong somewhere, but rarely does the message accurately point to the concern. About the only thing fancy that I... -
Roaring sound
If the radiator fan on the 4 is the same setup as my 3, you have what is called an electro-viscous fan clutch coupling. Most fan clutch couplings are merely viscous which means that the fan feels the air temperature coming off the radiator and engages as required. Land Rover adds an additional... -
Hey from Canada
I was looking at the insulation in your garage and it did not surprise me you live in Edmonton. I will keep an eye out for you - the black wheels are distinctive. Your garage floor looks very familiar - like mine - frost heave. My 3 is just a grocery getter - very stock (18" rims); just...- bbyer

2008 LR3 Trans Pan identification
The attached link has a number of files related to the ZF HP26 transmission in our 3's. A couple of the files speak directly re the OEM ZF plastic pan as well as the replacement metal pans. Many of the files have over a thousand views and one, I see has over five thousand, hence some must... -
Air suspension
I presume that you are new to Land Rovers and in particular air suspension. You may wish to spend a couple of weeks reading the various files I have over the years, created within the link below. Many of the files have have over five thousand views, hence it may be that some have found the...- bbyer
