    Wiper Blade Issues

    I just designed an adapter kit for Frameless/standard wiper conversion. Works and looks sweet. here's how this happened: We have an '06 Range Rover HSE and are on Vancouver Island = rains a lot in winter. Got the RR from the dealer (old wipers and tires) - the "customer" (my wife) complained...

    Bad to Worse - Radio/NAV dead

    unlikely the alternator could damage anything on the RR. jump starting and/or external charging can however, because the voltage spec of the electronics can be exceeded. We see this quite often in the older Porsches - 16 volts is the max spec but those quick chargers or boosters can belt out...

    Opinions on best year for a used RR

    We just traded our '05 Lr3 for an '06 RR HSE. The LR3 had a bad coil and full tank leak. We had suspension issues too. The RR drives really nice, we'll see if it is any better fault wise. Gonna miss the 7 seats for the family tho.

    Fading Plastic

    There is a long term solution, works great on my other cars. I'll test it on the rover. inexpensive, easy to apply too.

    Dash Guard

    I know what you are talking about - we make a leather cover for Porsche cars and it's very popular. The LR3 has the airbag in the dash - so you can't really cover off that.

    Suspension fault on 3rd compressor

    Update Tech found a defective harness routed to the front height sensor. This is portion is not exposed and was a problem in assembly of the harness connector/wire. No faults for a couple of days now....

    Suspension fault on 3rd compressor

    Just dropped the LR3 at the dealer today to try to solve our suspension problem. last week we were fully deflated (riding on the stops) a couple of times a day, bing, bong yellow, red, chitty chitty bang bang we love you. even the ambient temp (ice) warning was causing everyone to freak & brace...

    Suspension fault on 3rd compressor

    OK the news on our suspension fault (2005 50K miles) IDS codes spat out RF sensor. Parts had to be ordered so we endured a week of woes. So just yesterday that was replaced, which seemed strange to me that a height sensor would cause the LR to SLAM to no suspension at all and say 30 MPH only...

    How to break into an LR3

    i didn't read the whole thread but we got locked out, key in (kids) and called the local tow company. they have a air bladder used to separate the door jam a bit, long wire i directed the guy to the central console, hit it and we were in.

    Suspension fault on 3rd compressor

    There is quite a bit of clearance between the wire loom and wheel. Stock tires, light duty use, no way it would contact.

    floorboards soaked, and I mean SOAKED

    vac it, then hit it with a mild bleach/soap solution, vac it again, put a couple of heaters in the interior to follow-up and dry it. bleach kills any live stuff.

    Suspension fault on 3rd compressor

    I did a quick check of the wiring, no sign of any damage. Ours is working now. I think the leaky exhaust valve is plausible. I mean there was NO pressure in the suspension at all by the time I was 5-10 mins down the road. Now she's fine. But all of the faults are stored of course. Now if it is...

    Help on a possible problematic LR3 purchase.

    the air compressor is a problem for me yes, but not for you. yeah i agree it looks like they were on top of it and spent some time at the dealer. used '05 go for around $23K up here so they should be less where you are at. all depends on colors, equipment and if you like it.

    Help on a possible problematic LR3 purchase.

    that is NOT the a/c compressor. that is the fargin' AIR Compressor for the suspension. don't we know it. At least you'll get a good one. pj

    Suspension fault on 3rd compressor

    Just got the LR3 (it's an 05) back from getting the hatch fixed (were locked out) and now the suspension faults hit this weekend - in a big way. The compressor is running constantly, the driver's side was low/leaning over then the yellow rollover icon came on. Then about 5 mins later she dropped...

    LR3 Heated Windshield Problem?

    Ours is striping. I figured it was due to the california heat (where ours came from). Told the dealer and they squirmed and wiggled. Test of character...OK not a problem. I figure why scrap a good window (envrionmental waste) until there is really a problem. Sure enough, there is now a huge...

    Oil change - how often?

    in longevity i see more issues caused by coolant, brake fluid, power steering, fuel filter/system and trans fluid neglect then by engine oil issues. and the oil filter can get skipped every other change. depends on the engine too, how cleanly it's running and driving conditions (heat/dust/length...

    Alignment Defect / Uneven Premature Tire Wear

    I see negative camber on the LR3, all sports car... Porsche, BMW etc. have it, and with it comes inside tire wear. But this is what gives performance handling. Tires must be replaced every 3- 4 years to maintain wet grip/handling anyway. My porsche 928 eats back tires, 3 years 15K miles at...
