    LR3 Brake Pad Choices

    I replaced my rear brakes with Wagner QC1099 brake pads. I also replaced the rotors with Raybestos 980345. I did not replace the pins and clips, but I cleaned them real well. Took me a couple of hours, since I had to do the parking brake bed in since I replaced the rotors. If I hadn't needed...

    Lr3 brake kit recommendation

    "basically the same after that then retention the parking brake (snug tight then back off 3 clicks) " The proper way to do the parking brake is WAY more complicated than that..... Use Bodsy's Brake Bible, posted above. That was how I changed mine. New Raybestos 980351 rotors and Wagner...

    Toyota guy looking at making a switch to a LR

    I've owned a Disco I and an LR3. I much prefer the LR3, and that may be because I am not working on it every weekend. The LR3 has been dead reliable minus little quirks, but it always runs, and it always gets me where I want to go, and back.

    Lr3 Trailer lights....head explody!

    I regularly tow three trailers, a Harbor Freight 1000lb capacity flat bed with non-led lights, a 1996 Coleman camper (about 2800lbs) with non-led lights, and the 3500 lb capacity covered trailer that I share with Dad that has the LED lights. None of them have brakes, and I haven't had trouble...

    Lr3 Trailer lights....head explody!

    When I connect an LED trailer, the lights work fine, I just get a pulse in the taillights. It doesn't bother me, so for the few times I tow the LED trailer, I just live with it.

    Lr3 glass roof?

    I have two vehicles that back each other up. One is better at people carrying (Van), one is better at offroading, exploring, trailer pulling (LR3). Both can be called on to do either, depending on situation (except the van isn't going to do any offroading, and can't pull most of my trailers)...

    LR3 pad wear sensors?

    Or, you could just cut, and wire nut the wires together. They really don't do anything useful if you maintain your vehicle.. My left rear brakes were grinding, so I ordered new pads and rotors for just the rear, hoping to do the fronts in the spring. The wear sensor never went off as the...

    Couple quick car shopping questions

    I have an 06 SE that I purchased last year with 84k miles on the clock for just under 15k out the door. It did NOT have the bushings replaced. I have since done that, and I had to replace the middle console control cluster to get my low range to work. Besides those items and a bad battery, it...

    Another LR3 problem - park brake fault

    Thanks to this thread, I started to suspect that it was my battery causing the issues that I was having (1. Random errors (Parking Brake Auto Off not functional, HDC (Hill Descent Control) system fault), ect. and 2. Backup sensor would only work 1/5 times you started the truck). Last Wednesday...

    Another LR3 problem - park brake fault

    My parking light fault comes on every once in a while, but it always works..... My LR3 is in the dealer getting the lower control arms and a cracked tire valve stem replaced, so hopefully I will have less of the random errors, like the TPMS one.
