Hi all,
New owner of a 2007 LR3 HSE - Chawton/Alpaca w/ 116k (No HD package sadly).
It's service history is lengthy and impressive, so hopefully only have to worry about regular maintenance (or whatever breaks early). Tons of big-ticket items done recently though!
Love this truck so far - always wanted a LR - so this will tide me over till I can get the Defender 110! Or RRC . . . or all of the above?
Been doing my research - gotta love the internet for us DIY guys!
Already got my compressor rebuild kit, with new desiccant - and will clean/refresh the valve blocks/o-rings too - got the latest NAV DVD - need to fix the left rear heated seat - will get the IID tool as soon as my previous car sells.
Will need new tires soon - hoping to replace with 18" 5-spokes (satin black) with upsized tires. Probably add on-board air too. Maybe ditch the running boards for some slider bars - better function/look and can still step on them.
The worst part so far is piecing back the missing items that "should have" come with the truck - 2nd key, loadspace cover, hitch/wiring, Rosen dummy AUX plug, fuse pullers (really), rack crossbars - I did get a decent Owner's Manual set from eBay already. I am **** and sell my cars in perfect condition, with everything right down to the window sticker/etc. Why can't others share my extremely considerate quality?
Looking forward to taking it camping with my wife/son when he is older!
Let's make this thing last till 216k+!
