Thanks for the info on antiseize! I didn't know about the coating meaning it wasn't required. I will be loosening and retorquing these right away then, as according to that info they should then be ok.

Hello all, My spark plugs were due, and upon finding out that LR specs the NGK IFR5N10 (Laser Iridium) at over $20 CAD, I began some research. Many had warned against using anything but the NGK laser iridium. NGK, when using their database recommends the Laser IFR5N10 Iridium as OE Series, and...

As to the comment about the Transit in the snow... They are terrible. I work for an ambulance service in a very rural area. We recently switched from modular Type 1 amublances based on a GM 3500 chassis and 4x4 to the Ford sprinter. It is a common ambulance used in other countries, though not...

For anyone looking in the future, LR015339 is the part number. If you need a new bracket it is RBU500100

Thought I'd throw this in for anyone looking to build this in the future out of 5'x5' Baltic birch plywood sheets. Here's the layout my program came up with. The free version only allowed so many parts, so the Table shelf- 20"x36" and rear panel 12"x42" are not on the diagram. However, you can...

There you go, those ones look hard to beat. Good price and size.

These look pretty skookum (and pricey), though I have no experience with them. http://www.foxtaillights.com/product/pmc-914s-mv/

I agree on avoiding the remotes. I have found some led light strips with an inline remote that would be great. However, they are a little dim; only about 66 lumen/foot.

How about and LED light strip along the awning edge, with a remote to turn it on/off? https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-controller-kits/universal-weatherproof-led-light-strip-full-kits-led-tape-light-with-9-smdsft-3-chip-white-smd-led-5050/2580/ Or a 30W flood with a remote? (on...

Found 6 of the 26 service history records from LR. The ones I found were from 114k-140k and largely suspension problems. Complaints of grinding noises multiple times. Track rods and control arms replaced twice in that period. I knew control arms needed replacement but that often? Was that a...

I have checked and read on the LR forums. This truck is an '05 LR3 With 213000 kilometer. Dealer trade in at a Kia dealer. Originally listed at 15000 and now on "Christmas sale" for $8800. PO claims it was dealer maintained except I can't find which dealer. I'll keep working on that. Had a Kia...

How about a high mileage lr3? Is that Jag v8 good for many km? What about the rest of the platform? As far as I can tell from the rover maintenance schedule it will be due for coolant and ATF/Diff fluids.

For a small jump in price I've found a '05 LR3. Now, I know the '05 isn't the most reccomended but over a D2 my understanding is its a large jump in reliability. My only concern is its high miles. 130000 mi. Would any of you be concerned at those miles IF it has been well maintained. I'm working...

The plan would be to buy, and spend the next several days doing all the major fixes and maintenance necessary. I live near a driveline shop, rebuilding the driveshafts won't be an issue. I like to immediately get the vehicle up to snuff before I start daily driving it.
