Cooper Zeon LTZ on LR3
Here's a photo of where i put mine. You can also see where they were rubbing. Actually cut a few of the wires causing Check Engine light. I repaired the wires and the light went out. ChuckD -
cooper tires and crappy gas milage
The increased diameter of the tires changes the final drive ratio, equivalent of puling a higher gear all of the time. My '07 w/Coopers gets a consistent 17.4 on country roads and in Charlotte traffic. Goes to almost 19 when I take a long freeway drive. ChuckD -
Brake Bleeding

Battery dead after off road for 18 months

Battery dead after off road for 18 months

Driver side mirror
It just "pops" out. Try putting a large screwdriver blade behind the glass and gently prying. It is on a spring-clip mount. I bought the European left side heated mirror glass for my LR3 in order to get the wide angle effect. This greatly reduces the blind area. Had the same arrangement...
