    Red EAS fault and no compressor

    I was driving in town yesterday and all of a sudden the red EAS warning light came on and then the message to not go faster than 30 mph and special programs not available. It lowered all the way to the bump stops. I limped home and let it sit overnight. This morning I did a hard reset with the...

    Trip meter random resets

    Houm_WA, Not sure exactly what you're referring to. I have a 2007 SE V8 with everything except the navigation pkg. When I fill up with gas, I usually push the trip meter button under the speedo/tach to reset it to 0, then I push the "i" button on the left stalk to reset it on the message center...

    Trip meter random resets

    I could not find any previous forums addressing this subject. Has anyone had a problem with both of their trip meters randomly resetting to 0? I usually reset them when I fill up with gas and have the range displayed on the message center. After I drive a couple of days and they have registered...

    Extended Warranties

    I also purchased the same ESP warranty from Ziegler Ford. I too got the 4 yr/48k miles for a little less, but I raised the deductible to $200. My LR3 was at about 60k miles so I too was out of warranty. As a result, I had to have the used car inspection done, which was done at a local Ford...

    Miles per Gallon?

    My experience is pretty similar with about 13.5 to 14.0 in town. It can vary since I drive about 18 miles each way on a tollway and the traffic can be stop and go or move pretty good. I took a road trip this past summer from Dallas to Seattle and back and I was pretty pleased with 20.0 to 21.0...

    Extended Warranties

    Sonies - You may want to do more research on the warranties out there. I went with the Ford ESP as a lot of people here have done. I had about 59k miles on my 2007 LR3 and got the Ford ESP Premium Care. I bought it through Ziegler Ford and paid $2,750 for 4 yrs/48k miles. I used it once for...

    Engine Light

    I have a P0128 code and the amber CEL is on. I'm pretty sure I need to replace the thermostat and I'm willing to try it myself. I am debating whether it would be easier to replace the whole assembly with thermostat. I have been told by my dealer's parts dept. and my indy LR shop that the...

I bought it through Ziegler Ford and paid $2,750 for 4 yrs/48k miles. I used it once for replacing the front bushings done by my indy shop which specializes in LRs...

    What did you do to your LR3 today?

    RvDUB, Have to concur on the San Juan's. Spent a couple of nights in Telluride a couple of weeks ago and took the trail over Imogene Pass to Ouray. Had my two sons with me and since it was our first time off road, we were a little uneasy. We made it though and saw scenery you can't see from the...

    Suspension Fault

    I have a 2007 LR3 V8 SE (58k miles), and while driving home yesterday I got the red suspension fault, suspension dropped to the bump stops, and message said restrict speed to < 30 mph. I pulled into a parking lot, shut it off for a few minutes, restarted and still had the fault. Message center...

    Looking to buy LR3 - a few questions

    Have to agree with EGRIZZLE about texascarsdirect having the best prices in the DFW area. I was going to purchase from them except they didn't have an LR3 with what I wanted back in Sept 2010. I found my 2007 LR3 SE (42k mile lease return) with every option except navigation for $26500 at a FW...

    CPO, worth it?

    I'm trying to get clarification on how old your vehicle can be to buy the Ford ESP. Their FAQ section says it has to be less that 3 yrs/36,000 miles. Another section of the website says as long as the factory warranty has not expired. I believe for my LR3 their PremiumCare 7 yr/100,000 mile...

    CPO, worth it?

    I will second the opinion on the LR dealers being overpriced. I just bought a one owner lease return 2007 LR3 SE with 42,500 miles, V8, bi-xenon, front park distance control, rear parking aid, phone integration system, sirius radio, cold climate, wood dash for about $27,000. It was at a non-LR...
