    LR3 check brake pad warning

    I have 15k on my current brake pads, mostly highway, and the brake warning light is coming on saying check brake pads. It's been a while since that light has gone off for me, but I don't remember it acting like this and I am guessing the problem is not actually the brake pads. The light comes...

    LR3 suspension fault normal mode only

    So my 06 LR3 is getting a "suspension fault normal mode only" error. The suspension raises up, I got a few miles down the road, then get the error. 4x4 screen isn't telling me anything. When it first started it would only happen on the initial "drive", if I stopped to get a snack, and...

    grinding noise when turning right

    Last week my 06 LR3 started making a pronounced grinding noise when doing sharp turns. Usually it was in a parking lot pulling into a space, turning left doesn't seem to be an issue. Any ideas? Also, not sure if this is a thing or just my mind playing tricks on me, but I feel like there...

    LR3 tires

    OK, lets play nice. :} Anyways I know that tires cause a lot of arguments here, but I need new ones. Mostly I don't get to do much off road fun, so I would really like tires that do well around town, and on long road trips, but can also go out on some moderate off road trails as well...

    LR3 yellow brake light

    So my LR3 has a yellow brake light going off, I replaced the brake pads and sensors, but the light is still on. The owners manual says that light is only for brake pads, I don't remember anything I need to reset. Is that light just for brake pads low?

    possible MAF issues

    So I am getting P0101, 0171,0172, and 0174 in my 06 LR3. Which is the Mass Air Flow circuit range and corresponding codes (mix to lean, etc). Normally I would just replace the MAF, but I replaced it about 2.5 years ago and probably only have 20k for miles in that time. Air filter was...

    couple of random and general questions

    1. My mom wants a Land Rover pretty much because it raises and lowers and she has a bad hip. She can't have a car (because who knows why) and the fact that she has to climb into my LR3 even in access mode doesn't deter her. So does anyone know of a simple way to find out the access mode...

    Very early RTT review and questions

    So I just purchased a RTT and have used it two night, so take the following with a grain of salt. The tent is a Freespirit Adventure like tent. I say like as it was on clearance and an older model I believe. So not quite, exactly the same, but I believe its like 95% the same, maybe more...

    LR3 brake light question

    OK, I am pretty sure my brake lights are not working properly and not sure why. With my headlights off, none of the lights in back are on until I brake and then the top bulb on the left and right light up, which seems correct. According to the owners manual, only the top bulb is the brake...

    air suspension problems

    Someone commented a while back how to figure out which wheel has the air suspension leak. Something about pulling fuses for leveling and that will allow you eliminate options? I did not need the info at the time, but now I do. Anybody know this handy trick and can give me the full details?

    Do it yourself rack

    Has anyone tried making a roof rack using these bars? I just want something I can stand on for photos and possibly put a roof top tent on for a couple trips a year. Just curious how well they work, thoughts on attaching to an LR3 and any gotchas I should look out for...

    Radio reception problem 06 LR3

    So driving down the road one day, the reception in my 2006 LR3 just tanked. One second it was fine, the next it was poor. Shortly after that, I had the cracked pano roof replaced (pre-existing condition), and they had to take off the antenna to replace the glass, but that didn't seem to change...

    LR3 thermostat

    Replaced the thermostat in my 2006 v8 LR3 and it's not overheating, everything seems to be running fine, but this morning (just 20 miles or so, on it after replacing thermostat) the engine warning light came on. I really need it this weekend, anyone have any ideas what that could be?

    Problem with an oil leak

    OK this isn't really Land Rover related (as my Land Rover doesn't leak! crossing fingers), however my daily driver does leak oil. At my current house it's not a big deal as I park in the street and the street gets the mess. I am moving into a new place with a nice, clean driveway and I really...

    I broke my LR3

    OK, after a week in Colorado I broke the roof glass on the LR3. Anyone every break this before and have any idea how much it costs to repair as I have not found the part online yet. Also noticed another problem on the 10 hour drive home in 95 degree heat. When I use the AC the vents in the...

    Weird RTT question

    I am pondering a RTT, however I am a photographer and standing on my roof comes in handy. Does anyone know if there is a RTT that you can actually stand/lay down on when it's down?

    Joining the club (part 2)

    So now that I had decided to give into my passions, lunacy, or semi-logic filled reasoning, it is time to actually purchase a Land Rover. This proved to be a lot more complicated than I expected. Here in my non-mountainous region Land Rovers have a strange existence: Land Rover dealers don’t...

    Joining the club (part 1)

    Land Rover. Why does that name mean something to me? It’s not like I have crossed the Kalahari Desert in a Discovery II, at no point was I deep in the jungles of the Amazon relying on a Defender to get me home. To be perfectly honest, until recently I had no experiences at all in a Land...

    LR3 key issue

    So I just purchased an 06 LR3 and I am trying to get it back up to 100%. Which at this point is new control arms, inner tie rod, some interior cleaning (actually a lot of cleaning), and the second key. The previous owner said the second key had a dead battery and having replaced batteries in...
