    LR3 Compressor Issue Validation

    So I was getting the dreaded C1A13 Pressure does not decrease when venting error. As I had already killed on compressor I simply replaced with same to make it ways as sometime soon I will go to springs. So I swapped Dunlop with an inexpensive one and was getting same errors - ZERO change. I...

    Lr3 some errors, what else?

    So I have a few errors I’m working through on my ‘08 LR3. Background: I had some over heating issues which eventually led me to replace temp sensor and the thermostat. I should note that this entire unit had been replaced less than 9 months ago. Overheating issue was rectified and engine was...

    ARB 3 Wall Panel Set

    Is the arb 3 wall panel set (no floor) ambidextrous? Can I mount on passenger side with door facing rear? I have 2000x2500 awning. If all panels have zips on both sides it would work but I would think they would say this specifically if it is. Since they mention RH panel and LH panel I’m...

    Compressor Issue

    I replaced my compressor less than 2 years ago but getting the “filling too slowly” error code most (not all times) after start up. Galley pressure drops quickly after success or failure getting to 253-255psi so I suspect bad seal. Where is the galley seal, on the compressor or on the...

    Lr3 Roof Awning

    Hello all, happy holidays. I have been wanting to put a rear facing awning on my LR3. Wondering of other lr3 owners have and suggestions as the tailgate goes up and I have a ladder off the back as well which creates some close clearance issues. I also have the Front Runner roof rack. Choices...

    LR3 Control Arms

    Time for this job for me .. 120k, last 60k on me with nothing but 1 new wheel bearing, sway bar front and rear bushings and tie rods so I’d say I’m lucky. The truck is my daily driver but goes off road, call it moderate northeast east crawling. I can move the lower arms in the front when...

    LR3 Sway Bar Bushings

    I did both front and rear sway bar bushings this weekend. I had some suspension issues that somewhat cleared up after an alignment (see LR3 Suspension Help thread) but I still had other items to correct. Lots of knocks over bumps in the road and shimmying upon braking. I corrected most of my...

    LR3 Suspension Help

    After a great day of off roading Saturday at Rausch at the Rovers on the Rocks I got a suspension fault. Other threads seem to not be the exact conditions so I thought I would detail out what I have besides no Gap tool :Wow1:(so that is rapidly rising on the list). The faults clear after I...

    LR3 Fuel Gauge issue

    Been reading a lot about this issue. Here's mine before I start taking things apart. Here's what I know: - I ran the vehicle out of fuel (this was about the time I realized I had a gauge problem) - at the time, the tank said 100% full (very hard to do on a rover) - after refilling, the gauge...

    Electrical help

    So I have installed a dual battery in my LR3 and in advance of purchasing an ARB fridge sometime in the future. I would like to attach the stock "cubby box" to the dual battery so it can be left on all the time. Stock unit runs off a relay off the main battery in which the unit is inactive when...

    Dual battery option?

    I'm going to build a dual battery system using the 120A blue sea "add a battery kit". It seems good way to go, simple. I have a question about the wiring however. The entire HOUSE side of the project is straight forward. However, I am wondering if I need to do the STARTER battery in that way...

    Awning & Tent combo question

    Been doing a fair amount of research, which has yielded probable selection of the ARB Awning and a RV-4 Oztent. However, I have 2 unanswered questions. 1) I have a LR3 with the frontrunner rack which is 2155mm long. It would seem that the 2500mm wide awning is going to look way out of place...

    CB antenna on LR3 Front runner rack

    I want to purchase the Midland portable and put a permanent antenna on my LR3 front runner rack. I'll ground to the right rear point that the satellite radio is and run coax through the light. This seems a simple and effective way to setup without having to cut into the vehicle. My thinking is...

    LR3 Front Runner rack install question

    So I'm installing my new front runner rack which replace the factory rails. My rear rails have a built in rubber lining so when I remove the rails there is only the gutter. The front portion of the gutter (from about the front of the rear rail) has a rubber lining that runs to the front of the...

    LR3 Alignment

    Is there a significant difference between a regular alignment at a reputable shop vs. one done at an land rover dealer using "tight tolerances"? Need to do alignment given ours has of Johnson rods and simply making decision out of convenience of using a non-LR shop. Thanks Kent

    Rotor/ Hub Wobble

    A grinding noise developed quickly on the right front of my 2008 LR3 w/ 80k miles whenever I turn left. This happened very quickly ... like I heard a noise on a few left turns of my last few drives and then I all the sudden it will make a noise whenever I turn even slightly left. There is no...

    Tire sIze

    I've read quite a number of posts and sites; a bit dizzying for the neophyte. I have 2008 LR3 HSE w/ 19"'s tires that need replacement. I've already picked up and installed a set of Johnson Rods and it was a quick and easy install; might have been less than 15 minutes. I will be buying refurb...

    LR3 Compressor Removal

    Well, my weekend upgrade project got a little more challenging. I broke 2 of the 3 clips (of course bottom ones) that hold the air compressor housing to the truck frame. Shouldn't be too difficult to find replacement parts. However, I could not figure out how to remove the 2 rear air...

    LR3 Brake Pad Choices

    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...
