    Replaced Rear Air Valve - New Symptoms

    My 08 LR3 started showing signs of a bad/leaking rear air valve recently. Rear was low then on the bump stops overnight. Battery disconnect test showed both sides lowering evenly so last weekend I replaced the rear air valve (what a PITA by the way). Now only the passenger (right) side lowers...

    Faint metal scraping

    Your mechanic could "turn" the rotors - eliminating the lip (assuming the rotors still had enough material to turn them) otherwise a significant lip might indicate it's overdue for rotor replacement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e11G6hNRhqg

    Need help troubleshootung EAS issues

    When I got my replacement AMK the instructions included options to replace the original Hitachi as well as a previous AMK with different steps to replace each. So there are technically two AMK compressors: previous and current. You know - cause this isn't complicated enough already.

    This will be expensive I think, AC leaks

    The best way to be sure would be to clean off those AC lines and add leak detector to the AC system (DIY kit or at an AC service center). You could also have them run a pressure check as well which would indicate issues with the AC system.

    Are you having issues with AC cooling?

    First Rover

    Keep in mind these are expensive trucks to maintain. $3500 with 150K miles sounds like a good deal for a LR but you'll be putting more money into it over time. Also agree with others, based on the photos and your description. IMHO - if you truly bottomed out and hit the lower control arm...

    AC went out!

    Well I would say if the compressor had an internal failure and metal or debris got into the system that would be the proper way to repair it (basically replace everything). Labor is justifiably a lot of hours as the work is very time consuming. I suppose you could shop around for hours/rates...

    AC went out!

    I had what sounds like a similar failure (clicking sounds for a few trips and then no AC). My turned out to be the disintegration of the clutch/pulley and therefore was external to the compressor. I found what looked like rubber mounts on the skid plate along with the front metal plate from...

    LR4 with 3 kids?

    3 teens and 2 large dogs in our LR3. Totally doable - roof box is a must.

    Mine did not have the LR GPS option.

    After market GPS ideas

    Thanks. It fits pretty well in there with about 2mm of space (just enough for the power cord). I agree on hiding the cord and plan to create a pass through hole behind the unit - if only to make it look more built in and less interesting to car prowlers. Mine is a 6" and tucks up under the...

    TPMS Warning light comes on and off

    Regarding the Airstream - the other way around. We used to own an Airstream 345 Motorhome and flat towed a 69 VW Beetle behind it. No towing with the LR3 (yet) but I'd often thought about getting a Bambi in the future.

    TPMS Warning light comes on and off

    I have the same issue. All four sensors checked out OK. Not sure what to check next.

    Belt Tensioner Pulley Bracket - End Play Tolerance?

    Just replaced my water pump and belt to fix a squeak and whiffs of coolant from the engine. When I have everything out I checked all of the bearings (idlers and tensioners) for smoothness and end play. The one pulley I questioned was the one that the fan mounts to on the Belt Tensioner Pulley...
