You can also leave the door open, that will disable the auto-leveling action. I diagnosed a bad front valve block. I removed it, took apart and put it back together without having to change anything. The possible cause could be decaying air dryer desiccant. That stuff breaks down and fouls up...

Brake pads great, but I think I broke the sensor I went with Wagner pads, these were like $48 delivered from rock auto. Pads went in very easy, this was my first ad change in maybe 20 years. I had some support but this was really easy. Old pads had life to them but the shims on the reverse...

I need to replace my rear pads on Mortimer, my 2008 LR3 HSE. Rotors seem in good shape and given my rover has 75k I'm sure they were replaced by the previous owner. The wear sensor has not been tripped. Lots of research has not yielded much help on which pads to get. Any suggestions on pad...

Any suggestions on how to remove the rear air valve? I was able to easily remove, clean and reinstall the front one but the rear one was very difficult. I bailed out before I did any damage. Do I need to remove anything else (besides wheel). Rover was sinking in the front and cleaning out that...

Can anyone direct me to the best place to mount a CB antenna on the LR3? I do not have a roof rack nor the solid steel front or rear aftermarket bumpers. I will eventually get the frontline roof rack. I am seeing posts about using a NGP (non ground plane) marine antenna - wondering if that is...

Front Runner Rack Check out their website; I asked a question recently about interference with GPS/Sat Radio. They said it is neither interacts with it physically or the operation of those antennas. They did send me a response that it will not work with the factory ladder. Check out my...

Any intel on the compressor rebuild kits I'm seeing on eBay. There is one with the desiccant/ filters and the other with screws/ seals. Any input if one or both is worthwhile? I'm sure my desiccant should be replaced and have a fair inkling that this is causing issues with the valve blocks...

Note, lots of NAV units will be on HSEs that will also have 19" wheels. Any amount of research here will yield many comments about the crappy choices for that wheel size. Unless you were already planning on swapping out for rims and getting new tires make sure you think about wheel size in your...

Am I correct in understanding that my parking assist on my '08 LR3 HSE will not work if I install the LR Brush Guard or any of the aftermarket bumpers (front or rear) and/ or winch & mounts? I understand that the arb will allow air bags to operate but unsure on the parking assist. It would...

Rover to anyone who knows the difference. Truck to most everyone else and Mortimer when talking to him.

Are any of the spare/ open fuses in the passenger compartment of a 2008 LR3 eligible to be used for a CB radio? I do not want to "share" a fuse from another circuit but trying to make for an easier install. Eventually I will put in a 2nd battery but trying to tackle some easier projects. That...

Wondering if anyone has designed spare tire access for the LR3 so that the tire may be dropped without removal of cargo boxes (if installed) in the rear of the vehicle. I have an HSE with 3rd row seating and spec'ing out a platform. It seems that it could be possible to devise some kind of...

Couple things: Check air suspension - quick check is to look for truck bottomed out when you go to see the truck. Do searches on "LR3 on access height in morning" and the like including front air valve and "losing height". When you start truck check to see whether truck raises in height. If it...

Suggestion: give some real thought to your desired wheel size. I have HSE with 19" wheels though I got nice leather and nav system. Know with 19" you tire choices are limited andceirher you'll have to trade down to 18s or haves friar set of 17". In some ways I would like to have spent my first...

You want to see the vehicle after it has sat overnight. Look for drop in height indicating air leaks. I just got an 2008 and this forum was very helpful in me diagnosing the root cause (front air valve) and luckily correct for free but there are numerous things that could go wrong. You can also...

The air bag warning light is on when the car is running. This originated after my battery died and I was getting multiple faults which I nicknamed warning light mayhem. I was fairly certain the battery was bad. I subsequently had this confirmed, tested and replaced. All of the other warning...

Thanks, wanted your assessment on height. I used the term gopher in my thoughts for wife and kids. Also I forgot about the removal of the lid on ARB fridge. You're correct on pelican, but I measured mine. There is a lot of measure twice and cut once in this project. I may have a really old one...

Update: it was the front valve block. I carefully removed, cleaned and re-installed as interim measure. 1/2 to 1" drop has immediately redid to less than 1/2". Will remove and clean others, check air drier and consider air compressor update kit. Thanks to all on this thread.

First off I would like to say I really like your design and selection of materials. It looks like you have to 50qt cooler. It seems like you do not have full access to the cooler though, the rear hinge lid will not allow you to totally access the cooler contents and/or you may need to be 6 foot...

Needed battery (adv gold diehard, largest they had) and alternator and starter were ok. Air bag light on so I guess I must try over charging battery to 14v? I'll see what happens when I can get the truck up to speed for extended period of time. Battery replacement occurred only 2 blocks from...
