key problem

[roverman]

Not a huge problem, wondering if it is unique to my LR3. More than occasionally, the key won't turn all the way to the 'take it out' position. I have to do a sort of double turn to get it there so that I can take it out. Is it just mine?

Also, has anyone ever noticed the little pinpoint of light that comes from just in front of the overhead map lights? You really can only see it if you put your hand up there underneath it (while the headlights are on) I think it must be to provide a little glow to the gearshift console at night. Kind of a cool extra touch...

same problem here with the key... takes several tries to get it out

Yes, the red light is "waterfall" lighting. Our Audi has it, too.

Aren't puddle lights under the doors? WAIT A SEC...we don't have puddle lights, do we?? Rats, that is a nice feature.

Yes we do...... at least on mine not sure if that comes with one of the options or not? Count me in on the key problem

Yes, there are lights on the bottom of doors on all LR3s in North America I've seen. Other markets may have lights under the mirrors, too.

mine does not have lights on the bottom of the doors. SE model. but i do have the key thing happening. i took mine in today to have the AUX jack fixed and the loaner is the same way with the key but not all the time.

Hmmmm....double checked. No puddle lamps on my 2005 SE. Don't you have an SE too Grommet?

I find it funny that with more testing than any other car has ever had, on 6 continents, that none of the testers ever tried taking the key out. LOL

I'm HSE... it's probably one of these features nobody would notice is missing. I know I didn't implicitly look for it on all the LR3s I've encoutered, so I may not have noticed it missing. I tend not to crawl under the door while it's open.
