Thanks ktm525.
BTW, I do love my LR3 (and the fact it depreciated like gas station sushi the day the LR4 came out so I got it so damn cheap). However I had an incident where the cowling seal dry rotted and then we had a ton of rain ... so much so that I had inches of standing water inside (imagine a comedic movie scene where you open the door and water comes flooding out along with a fish). Ever since then, since all the computers were thoroughly soaked, nothing electronically reliably works though thankfully there's enough safety measures built-in I've never been stranded. It is all weird stuff like the radio randomly not working, an entertaining array or warnings on the display, etc.
I would not let somebody else 'unqualified' drive it. Now though I'm thinking pick up an older LR4 (with all the nice newer amenities) for my truck & towing needs and now my LR3 is my fun off-road toy I can beat up on with impunity.
