    Non-lead Foot LR3 Owners Question

    I have street tires, and drive 90% city traffic. I have been turning off the A/C and driving with the windows down. I do go up hill both ways. It's Cincinnati, so I live on one hill and work on another, so up and down hill both directions. I average 13.88 MPG. Here is my last 6 months of...

    I loved my 95. But it had been heavily abused before I got it, so I was getting worn down constantly fixings other's past mistakes.

    Rear Power Outlet

    I'm afraid I don't know the answer to do this in a D2, but am working on doing it in my LR3 right now. All three of the power outlets are run by the same relay in the central junction box, so I am looking at jumpering (with a fused jumper wire) from the hot side of a fuse to the load side of...

    Say NO to Rock Auto.

    I just ordered Wagner brake parts for my Wife's van. I ordered Tuesday, got two of the three packages yesterday, and got the email that they shipped today... Pretty happy now.

    2006 LR3 Spark Plug Change

    The plugs are too deep for that swivel socket to be useful. Except for maybe helping you get the whole thing in without having to take apart your tools.. I found that I didn't need a swivel at all.

    2006 LR3 Spark Plug Change

    Thought I would make a post to show my findings, and experience with changing my spark plugs myself at 90,000. I purchased OEM replacement plugs (NGK IFR5N10 Part# 7866) from Advance Auto's website. They had a pretty good deal of $15 off orders over $50, so I ended up getting them for $11.25...

    LR3 roof rack vs rear tire carrier question

    Personally, I think the head rest in the middle rear seat obstructs the rear view more than anything. I also think it blocks light from the auto-dimming mirror. Thanks for all the pictures guys.

    Mounting stuff inside an LR3

    Thanks for the idea of the door pockets, didn't think of those for the lifehammer, will look tomorrow. Currently it is in the upper glove box. Both of my cubby holes in the back of my LR3 are full of stuff already, so I can't use them for more storage. There is some room in the driver side...

    LR3 prices continue to fall

    As I said earlier, I picked up a 2006 LR3 SE in Cincinnati for 15,900 out the door (14,900 with trade in of my 95 Disco). Love it. Passed up the HSE they had on the lot because I didn't have 2k more dollars and I didn't want the extra radio controls, or other stuff. The mini-fridge and the...

    LR3 prices continue to fall

    If it is family hauling it is the LR3 also. Not enough seats in a RR.

    LR3 prices continue to fall

    I just picked up an 06 LR3 SE for 14,900 two weeks ago. Right now the only issue is that the High/Low switch isn't working. Even if that takes $1000 to sort out, I think it is a good deal. It's already beating the pants off my 95 Disco I in fuel mileage.

    I ordered some quickfists from Cabelas. Will try to get a picture up once I get them and install.

    An Axe - Seriously?

    Probably should be more specific. I want to mount it on the interior of the rear door. I drive in an urban area most of the time, and do not want my equipment stolen.
