Cooper Zeon LTZ on LR3
Here's a photo of where i put mine. You can also see where they were rubbing. Actually cut a few of the wires causing Check Engine light. I repaired the wires and the light went out. ChuckD -
cooper tires and crappy gas milage
The increased diameter of the tires changes the final drive ratio, equivalent of puling a higher gear all of the time. My '07 w/Coopers gets a consistent 17.4 on country roads and in Charlotte traffic. Goes to almost 19 when I take a long freeway drive. ChuckD -
Brake Bleeding
Disco Mike was a great help with brake issues I had with my DII. He even went as far as helping over the phone. An asset, I say. ChuckD -
High beams and bumps
If your fingers are on the stalk it moves very easily. A bump could do it. ChuckD -
Carseats in Third Row
We carry grandkids, ages 5 and 3, in their car seats in the third row. They love it back there. ChuckD -
Subtle "Fart" noise
Recently when I start my LR3, and both before I move the truck and for a little while after I start to move, I hear a soft, subtle "fart" sound that seems to be coming from low in the vehicle and behind the front seats. I do not often use the parking brake, so I do not suspect anything there... -
terrain response
I routinely change TR settings on the fly. As I understand it you are just reprogramming the computer. ChuckD -
Need Battery Advice
Dealer just replaced my original battery (under warranty) with an Interstate that looks exactly like the factory one. I had no indication of battery issues. They caught it during a service for something else. 25K miles on a 2007. ChuckD -
HDC Fault, NAV Memory and Battery Lifespan
I had the same experience when I took my '07 w/ 25,000 miles if for a persistent "check Engine" light. Light problem was related to thermostat, they said. They did not tell me that they had replaces the battery. I noticed it n the RO and asked. They shrugged and said that batteries dont last... -
The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread
Outer Banks of N. Carolina allows miles of beach driving... with certain times closed due to bird and turtle breeding, hatching. ChuckD -
Battery dead after off road for 18 months
I just found this link: http://www.thebatteryterminal.com/TechTalk_Batteries_on_Concrete.htm As I am 76 years old, I guess I qualify as one who is full of outdated wisdom!! ChuckD -
Battery dead after off road for 18 months
Was the battery on a concrete floor? That will draw down any battery over time. ChuckD -

Driver side mirror
It just "pops" out. Try putting a large screwdriver blade behind the glass and gently prying. It is on a spring-clip mount. I bought the European left side heated mirror glass for my LR3 in order to get the wide angle effect. This greatly reduces the blind area. Had the same arrangement... -
How are you getting 20mpg?
A 985 mile highway round trip to Hatteras with at least a couple of miles of beach four-wheeling each day for six days produced 17.4mpg. ChuckD -
How are you getting 20mpg?
I swear mine gets better mpg as I drive faster. I get a steady 17.4 in my everyday running around home without any freeways. If I get on a freeway and run at 70 or 75 I get a steady 20.2 mpg. Did an off road low-range couple of hours over the weekend and that produced 14.3 mpg. We're doing a... -

Make sure battery is not failing. Often causes strange things to happen. ChuckD -
Can the LR3 be towed by an RV?
Unfortunately the LR3 cannot be flat towed. DO NOT TRY!! ChuckD -
LR3 Towing question
I pull a 22' enclosed car hauler trailer with my LR3. Factory hitch and wire kit. No anti-sway or load leveling stuff. Prodigy controller. Loaded the trailer comes in around 5,500lbs. About 500 on the hitch. The Rover is a great tow vehicle. Love the way the height adjustment lets me hook... -
Quarterly sales numbers?
Sales slow!! I was in for free service yesterday. My sales friend said he only moved one car in May and one in June. He is one of the star LR sales reps. The place was overflowing with cars. Even had a chalk board in the showroom with a dozen used LRs listed with prices. ChuckD -

Reverse Mirror Angle
Here's a mod that has served me well on both Disco II and my '07 LR3. I ordered the UK left hand mirror and installed it. With the wide angle it gives you do not need to dip the mirror to see well. (No "the car is closer than it looks" writing on it either.) Cost about $70 from Rover... -
Are you rolling Cooper Zeon LTZ's on your Rover?
Love mine after almost a year. So far only serious off-road was at the Outer Banks beaches. Worked great aired down to about 25psi. ChuckD
