    Cherokee Trailhawk

    Thanks for the info. Yes, a tow pkg is on the list as I have a small offroad teardrop trailer. I'm looking at a 2015 now with convenience pkg. tow pkg, cold weather pkg and upgraded Alpine stereo. We'll see if we can make the numbers work. Yes, the cargo area is small, especially coming from an...

    Cherokee Trailhawk

    I’m considering a 2015-2016 Trailhawk as my next vehicle. Wondering if anyone in this forum that has one could offer up their thoughts on it and what I should look for when I test drive. Appreciate any input. Thanks.

    LR3 Streeing Angle Sensor and dash lights?

    Well it all gets more and more confusing. The wiring at the rear wheel was fine, just all pulled out for some reason. Wondered if something flew up from the road and caught it or a mouse liked the sleeve I had installed? Taped up and covered again. Faults did include steering angle sensor but...

    LR3 Streeing Angle Sensor and dash lights?

    Well, I just had a chance in daylight to have a look around the truck. It appears, and don't ask me how they did it, that the cover at the rear wheel arch protecting the can-bus wires is pulled down, the sleeve I installed is destroyed and the wires are all out and exposed. That and rainy wet...

    SOLD- New Magma, 10 Piece Gourmet Nesting Stainless Steel Cookware, Non-Stick Ceramic

    I had never heard of this brand until this post. I'm going to look into a set for my teardrop trailer. Unfortunately I'm in Canada and exchange, duty and shipping will make your set much more expensive than buying through the local marine shop who offer free shipping and in Canadian dollars...

    LR3 Streeing Angle Sensor and dash lights?

    Yesterday my winter tires were installed and an alignment done. The tech said my steering wheel seemed a bit off, like part of the shaft might be sticking. On a straight stretch, the wheel wasn't centre. On my way home, all the dash lights, flashers, trans shows "E", etc happened. Kept driving...

    Random dog shots

    Top 3 things you hate about your LR3 and Top 3 things you like

    Likes: 1. fold flat seats with cavernous interior 2. A pleasure to drive 3. Good sound from the HSE sound system Dislikes: 1. Can-bus wiring issues 2. EAS issues (now on coils so it's solved) 3. Cost of an instrument cluster (I know, just replaced one)

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Coils saved me a tow today :) I've got a transmission fault, it's wiring, and before I had a chance to get it looked at, the whole Christmas tree came on today but with the coils, it didn't drop to the bump stops and I was able to drive it to the shop.

    Transmission Fault - LR3

    I have the box wired in. We've had a heck of a lot of rain this summer and we drove nine hours from Lake Superior to near Toronto in downpours. I wouldn't be surprised if a bit of water got in the footwell.

    Transmission Fault - LR3

    Thanks for the info. One of the tail light bulbs is out, just waiting on the "right" one to put it in. The red (P) brake light flashes sometimes too when I shut the truck off. Thought that was what was why I was getting the brake switch code and hence replacing the switch.

    Transmission Fault - LR3

    I recently switched to coils and thought this might be related but it started happening at least three weeks afterwards so I'm not sure any longer. I'm getting a Transmission Fault which affects the DSC, HDC and Special Programs - DSC light and amber (!) appear on the dash. All become...

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    Just back from a nine hour out and back to Lake Superior towing the TC Teardrop without yet getting the rear spacer to raise the back end a bit. Sat a bit lower in the back due to the weight of the trailer but towed just fine.

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    Yes, according to the pdf I received yesterday: 3mm, 6.5mm, 10mm and 13.5mm spacers. I'm now wondering if the tech installing the kit saw a rubber spacer and it is one of the smaller sized ones. I'll have to check. I wonder of you if you put a metal washer between them if you could have more...

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    It appears the spacer is now part of the AB coil/shock kit. My friend at the factory sent me a parts breakout of the LR genuine coil/shock used on the LR3 and the spacer is in the drawing and it on the AB spring/shock.

    LR3 / Discovery 3 Coil Conversion +2" Question

    So, the swap to coils was done yesterday. Initial observations, not really a big difference in how it handles, slightly firmer over large bumps but nothing I can't live with. The module was wired in and the light isn't on the dash but I am getting the "Susp Fault, slow to 60 kph" message every...

    Which LR3 to buy?

    I didn't realize there was even a LUX option in 2007, just SE or HSE. I wasn't as concerned with the nav as I have a Garmin with lifetime updates, I do like the 4x4 screen though but the HSE definitely has a nicer sound system. The 3rd row seats were pulled pretty quickly and are in storage in...
