I recently started getting a check engine light on my 2006 LR3. Pulling the codes with the GAP tool shows a number of the common "phantom" codes as well as the one below: P2451-00 (AA) Evaporative emission control system switching valve stuck closed I don't have a lot of experience dealing...

Over the past 4 months I've bought 2 new key fobs from Lucky8 for my 06 LR3. Had them professionally set up with the truck and everything worked fine at first. Approximately one week after getting them set up the first fob failed (could still use the key to start the truck but wouldn't...

I appreciate the advice. Really just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy for being surprised about the failure. I'm hoping it is just the rod ends and not the inner but I'll have to check it out. I agree that steering should be an OE purchase. Thanks for the help.

When I picked up my LR3 almost three years ago I replaced the tie rods (rods and ends) immediately as they were extremely loose. I checked on them again over the weekend and noticed that they're bad again. Is this a reasonable time frame for needing to replace tie rods (less than 3 years, less...

I appreciate all the responses. Got the truck into an indy LR shop. They pulled off the intake and the coolant leak is coming from the front driver side corner of the head gasket. Got two quotes, one for the head gasket repair and one for a used engine swap. Both seem exceedingly high ($9k...

Sorry. Fluid drop, but still above the cool fill line. I knew I may have a slight leak but was struggling to find where it was coming from. Never had any indication of overheating with the truck. But I'm not the original owner so who knows what happened before I bought it.

I would agree, but I was concerned it might be cheaper overall. I have been struggling to find recent cost estimates on a head gasket repair as they just aren't that common with this engine. I spent almost 18 months looking for a low mileage LR3 and when I bought this one two years I was happy...

The coolant was still within range and above the cold fill line. I know the temperature gauge doesn't mean much but it never ticked higher than the middle "normal" section.

2006 LR3 HSE 4.4 (103k miles) I recently had a drop in the coolant and took the truck in to get looked over as I noticed no puddles, smoke, overheating, or anything else that could help me figure out where the leak might be coming from. Truck has had a new water pump and thermostat installed...

Just installed a new Front Runner Slimline 2 on my 2006 LR3. I previously had the short factory roof rails and had to remove them to install the new rack. This leaves the roof rails exposed without weather stripping. The weatherstripping/ditch moulding from the windshield back to the sunroof is...

Love the truck and it looks like the build is coming along nicely. Just curious on your experience with the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform. What made you go with Rhino Rack versus the other platform options? Was it difficult to install? No drilling required, right? Thanks in advance! Just...

Just curious to see if anyone has any opinions or advice on this matter. I have my 06 LR3 in the shop currently for a look over, oil change, transfer fluid change, etc. I had mentioned to them that I was experiencing a 'thunk' like noise and knock when coasting towards a stop light and then...

I assume these would fit an LR3 as well? Or do the Compotive wheels have a different model for the LR4?

I appreciate your update and experience regarding fitment and sizing. I have an 06 HSE and I've been going back and forth with myself on whether to bite the bullet and buy some 18 wheels and actually get the KO2s I know and enjoy or paying up and getting 19 duratracs. My head is telling me to...

Just curious, but where did you get those wheels? They look great!

Thanks for the assistance. I already have an appointment at my independent LR shop on Monday morning for an alignment and some other work. I've never owned a vehicle with air suspension (or this many computers for that matter) and just didn't know if the truck would freak out after the...

Thank you all for the information. Just curious though, I was planning on just installing the new tire rods and doing a quick alignment with a basic measurement of the outer tie rod and a combination of the string test and counting the revolutions when taking off the old outer tie rod. From...

I appreciate the info about Bearmach. I've known about them for years but never really looked into it as I assumed it was difficult/expensive to get the parts shipped. Thanks for the heads up.

After lurking on here for over a year I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a 2006 LR3 HSE with approximately 88,000 miles. I'm not new to LR (the 2006 is now parked next to my second 1996 Disco in the driveway) but I've never owned or worked on a vehicle with so many bells and whistles...

After reading this post I immediately went out and bought a lottery ticket. I'll keep you updated. Great looking ship!
