    Looking at 2012 vs 2014 Supercharged sport. Wheel question...

    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...

    Skunk in the garage...

    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...

    Skunk in the garage...

    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...

    Skunk in the garage...

    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!

    Skunk in the garage...

    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...

    So are all the parts for the thermostat included in the linked part? Thanks

    Skunk in the garage...

    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...

    Bits Breaking/falling off...

    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.

    Bits Breaking/falling off...

    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...

    Sunroof stuck in tilt position

    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...

    Sunroof stuck in tilt position

    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...

    Belt or Pulley Noise

    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...

    Belt or Pulley Noise

    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!

    Belt or Pulley Noise

    Listening the best I could, it sounds like it is coming from the primary tensioner pulley.

    Belt or Pulley Noise

    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...

    Installing 3rd Row Seats

    Hello, I got a kit from Roverland parts for $1250 plus shipping. Not too difficult to install, except the rear seat-belts. Also be careful not to let the retract if possible. They have a gravity/position based mechanism that you will have to play with positioning the unit just-so in order to...

    Driver Seat Power Height adjustment failed

    Weird ghost in the machine. I went to the passenger side to see if the height adjustment worked there. It did. I returned to the driver side and amazingly the control started working again. I don't know if the two are connected somehow electronically? Maybe just a coincidence.

    Driver Seat Power Height adjustment failed

    Hello, posted on another forum also which seems to be down at the moment. The response was that the SE '05 LR3 may not have an adjustment for up and down/tilt for the front part of the drivers seat? Unless I have lost my mind (which is possible) I recall adjusting this often as my daughter...

    Driver side door wont lock

    Same problem here. I sprayed the mechanism the best I could with WD-40, it will lock if I push the lock button on the FOB twice. If not, then the alarm goes off when I open the door just as you have described.

    standard 5 seats or 7 seater?

    It is removeable, and you can sell them for a good price (I paid $1250 plus shipping for mine at Roverland parts). You would need to include seatbelts (which can be unbolted from below and by popping off the plastic rear panels at the back of the vehicle where they come out of). Also the carpet...

    Spray Painting Wheels

    Hey, what do the spacers accomplish (since these are stock wheels - right?) Just push the wheel farther toward the outside. Is it an aesthetic thing? Mine are already really pushed out having a different backspace/offset (aftermarket). I did not know if that was good or not good :-) Thanks.

    Spray Painting Wheels

    Its possible my fault was caused by something else. It was parking brake and HDC fault. No special programs available. Not sure if I was locked in normal or access height. I would like to put one of my old/OEM wheels under as a spare, but sounds like I need something closer to the other tires.

    Lug nut Mystery

    No, I posted in the wrong forum thread when I was posting wheel pictures! Did not think of the double-meaning in context of lug 'thread' but kind of funny :biggrin: BTW, the shorter nuts worked fine, but ended up getting another set locally (Big O Tires) because I stupidly left the key socket...
