    LR Time YouTube Videos

    These videos are hilarious. Really entertaining. They feature a German couple, Christian and Vera, and their obsession with fixing and maintaining Land Rovers (LR3s and LR4s). Christian has a complete machine shop at home (including a power lift that he built) and an obsession with fixing...

    LR3 Brighter Foglight Options?

    Has anyone ever swapped out their LR3's foglights with LED H11 bulbs? What'd you think of the light pattern and which bulbs did you use? I'm well aware of the fact that the reflectors will not work "right" for an LED bulb. It'll even change from one bulb design to another, but some might be...

    Suspension Fault after no start - replaced starter, mega fuse, now get faults.

    Hello, About 3 weeks ago my 2005 LR3 SE wouldn't start after a day of running errands. I first replaced the starter and that didn't fix, so I then traced the no start issue to the mega fuse linked to the positive battery terminal cable. After replacing the fuse, the LR3 cranked right up but now...

    Hello fellow Land Rover enthusiasts, I recently bought a Land Rover LR3 for 2k. The catch however is that it is nearly impossible to start.

    LR3 Suspension Compressor

    Just bought (my first) LR3. It needs some love and will be a fun project. The suspension is on the bump stops and I dont think the compressor is working.

    Greeting from Vallejo CA

    I have a 2005 Land Rover LR3 which has been nothing but reliable up til now. However, a few months back as I was parking it, my Oversize front wheels rubbed against the inner body, jolting something loose. The dashboard started to flash on and off. I imagined that I may have turned the wheel...

    Will I still be able to drive these tires with a suspension fault?

    This week started a fun new problem that I cant find any info on. The vehicle has been off and sitting for 18hrs. Upon startup I immediately get a message saying the suspension will adjust when it cools down. Again, it has not been on in nearly 18hrs. Plugged in my IID Gap Tool and it shows the...

    Steering wheel button Backlighting and horn not working properly

    I noticed a couple months ago that the back lighting on the steering wheel buttons on my 2008 LR3 were cutting out when the wheel was hovering around the normal centered position, but a slight turn of the wheel and they’d pop back on. Progress to today and they are now always off. In addition...

    My 2005 LR3 with 170,000 miles recently started having a throttle position sensor issue that caused the land rover to go into limp mode with an engine fault warning.

    A new noise on my 2008 Landrover. That noise just showed up about a week ago after I was hitting some pretty hilly roads aka San Fran style and tried to get it airborne.
