Hello, I have a '05 LR3 that I have done lot of work on. I am keeping it (I think) and getting either a '12 or '14 RR Sport supercharged. A couple questions:
1. Is the unibody 2014 inferior for offroad and pulling a small trailer? I see it is 800lbs lighter.
2. Would my LR3 spec'd wheels...
Thanks jbrincks, it turns out not as much oil was in there as I thought. More of an oil coating than anything else. I cleaned it out and got everything back together.
Does anyone know why you need to remove the radiator access panel on the bottom/front of the vehicle? The drawing here shows...
Okay, no replaceable gasket on the throttle body. That was a surprise.
Question on oil in the intake manifold. I can see down the throat of my LR3 with the throttle body removed. It looks like oil coating the inside and pooling in areas toward the back, maybe 1/8 of an inch. Is this...
So looking to replace the thermostat assembly I need to remove throttle body. I should have ordered gasket for throttle. Anyone salvage the old one? I would generally not do that, but need my vehicle monday
Thanks!
Parts are ordered. This is the only process for flushing the antifreeze that I was able to come across. If there is an improved or preferred method, would love to hear it:
1 . Position the vehicle on a lift.
2 . Set the heater controls to maximum.
3 . Disconnect the battery ground cable...
At least that is what my kids thought. It is actually the radiator fluid leaking, concentrating and burning in the engine bay.
I am not losing a lot of fluid. Long story short - I thought one of my belts or pulleys was going bad, it turned out to be radiator fluid dripping on the belts and the...
Thanks Houm, the rubber mallet did not work as the fastener/receivers (or whatever holds the pins) were too worked/open. Epoxy did work however :-) It looks like Land Rover (or previous owner) put some kind of stretchy glue in those fasteners previously.
All in one weekend I had the following:
• Mechanism broke that folds down seatbelt receiver with 3rd row seat.
• Driver side door moulding popped off
• One auxiliary light stone guard fell off somewhere on the road. I pulled on the other off to see how it was attached and it peeled...
Thanks for looking that up Houm_WA. It does not appear to be broken off of anything as the ends are finished and there was no glue or residue that I could find. There is that hole that extends through the middle, so I suppose it could slip onto something. Also a lip. It looks like the the rubber...
I thought I would tag on to this thread (since it is recent).
My sunroof stuck in the open position and pressing the close button for 20 seconds did not work. Disconnected the battery and let it sit for a day. Reconnected, pressed for 20-30 seconds and still did nothing. I recalled on...
Completed this project successfully :biggrin:. I was a little intimidated considering the number of items to replace, but they are all bolt on/off once you get things taken a part for the belt replacement. The link I found for 'LR3 Belt replacement' had lots of good pics and instructions for the...
So, should I just go ahead and replace both primary and secondary belts, both primary and secondary tensioners, and replace idler pulley with updated idler pulley while I have it apart...or is this overkill?
Thanks!
I was driving today, going around a curve with a good amount of acceleration/force being put on the motor. I got a intermittent, fairly loud low whining/squealing sound coming from the engine. It stopped then came back a few times within the next mile.
I parked it at home and lifted the hood...
