New to Land Rover
I have a 2006 SE with Harman Kardon system and the rear AUX port is really stiff. Like the original owner never used it or didn't know it was back there. Have to push the 3.5mm plug firmly in place as it stops just short of being fully engaged. Another push sends it the remaining distance to... -
First Jeep copies LR and now Ford too.
At least the GC is still an off-road capable 4X4. The terrain response and air suspension on the GC is copied from LR (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery), and as others have said, LR has borrowed much from other brands over the years. The new Explorer is a glorified Taurus. That... -
Fading Plastic
More photos Here's a few more photos of the rest of the trim. The streaks go away for the most part after the first wash. Really don't notice it unless you get right up to it. -
Fading Plastic
More pics of the bumper and side panels. You can see some streaking up close. The streaks mostly vanish after the first wash. The next pic is taken between the second and third coat. Still a little wet and noticeable streaks. This is the first coat on the bumper step... -
replacing air filter
Thanks bscmich - saved me a lot of time replacing the pollen filter. Great post! -
Fading Plastic
Forever Black I went with Forever Black as well. As others have mentioned, the applicator is rubbish so I used some cheap foam brushes from the hardware store. Starting with the recovery hook cover beneath the front bumper: It took 3 applications to get it this dark. It's... -
Dyno?
I was thinking about this the other day. I wouldn't expect much more than 220-230HP at the wheels with this complex drivetrain. I'm interested to see the torque curve as I suspect it should look impressive at low RPM. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure which gear would provide a 1:1... -
RS sliders paid for themselves this weekend >>
I believe airbags are disabled in 4-Lo on most vehicles. -

Yeah, that was an odd approach angle but you hung in there. Kudos for not taking the ***** path to the left (drivers right). Looks like fun. -
Used LR3
I'm not an "experienced" Land Rover owner but I picked up a used 2006 LR3 this summer (45k miles). I was a bit hesitant given the reputation for poor reliability. I put my mind at ease by purchasing a 4yr/75,000 mile extended warranty. When broken down it was $600/yr which is less than I... -
Gasoline Brand
I stick with premium Shell and BP (93 in NC) in both my cars. The additives and fuel mileage make up for the small price difference. Would also use Texaco/Chevron premium in a heartbeat but they are few and far between here. Unfortunately NC doesn't have labeling laws for ethanol in gas... -
Tune Up - Should I do it myself?
Would be worth checking into and very easy to do. One of the first things I checked when I purchased my 2006 LR3 (40,000 miles) was the air filter, housing, and tubes leading to the throttle body. You can loosen the hose clamps on the intake tube circled in yellow below. Note: this is after... -
Left Jeep for a Land Rover
Thank you Joey. I think the girlfriend enjoyed her first off-road driving experience too. She had a big smile on her face when it was her turn to drive. The dealer just installed the Toyo Proxes STII before I purchased it. The original owner drove the stock tires to 40k then traded it in...- MEDISIN

Left Jeep for a Land Rover
After 15 consecutive years of Jeep ownership I bought my first Land Rover. Yes, I'm the scourge of my family. We've had just about every Jeep model over the last 30 years. The CJ, SJ, J10 (my favorite), XJ and ZJ - all great vehicles with many great memories. My business was Jeep's to loose...- MEDISIN
