who has the most miles

@Todd, which U-joint???

@trickblue: what sort of front end work was needed for $4000?

I needed everything replaced... brakes, control arm bushings, tires (all four)...

It was more than just front... just mainly up front. That being said, it wasn't that anything went wrong, just wore out...

Oh I gotcha...the U-Joint at the bottom of the steering column (I think). Makes sense...

2006 LR3 - 165,500 this week.

Compressor a couple of times until the latest version. Have not had to replace one since 90K. Front lower bushings, front hubs, front rotors, front passenger parking assist sensor, and the alternator have been replaced in addition to the usual consumables.

At 40K, dealer said I will need to replace the rack & pinion soon....not! A little Lucas sealed the small leak. Recently thought that it was going bad but turned out to be a sticky u-joint....a free fix with the penetrating oil already on hand.

2 years ago, sun roof drains clogged and filled up the running board channels. PIA. Really poor design.

by "the latest" compressor you mean the AMK? Depending on how quickly you racked up the last 75k miles, it could have been the Hitachi; that's why I ask.

 

[whathaway]

Do not know which compressor it is. Just that it has not been a problem at all since the "improved" model was installed. Before then, it was a common problem.

Update: It is an AMK compressor. Installing it was a special hell for me and the dealer. "Kid" removed the old compressor before updating the software. Software would not update correctly with the new compressor in place. They had to bring in an engineer to figure out the fix, 3 weeks.

Oh, I left out replacing the tailgate mechanism, the front passenger latch, and most recently the EGR (massive vacuum leak).

In Feb I replaced the battery. Last week at 136k, I replaced front/rear pads/rotors, front right control arm, compressor, an oil change and all software updates. Owned since 2007, it's a solid ride with no issues at all.

155K '07 HSE

Front control arm bushings, alternator + negative lead (Although Alt could have been fine, I think it may just have been a bad cable)

What else... AC sprung a leak although I suspect that was offroad related.

SO far so good, but not looking forward to finding that AC leak.

 

[whathaway]

AC leaks are usually very easy to find unless something has changed. Used to inject dye into the AC system, run the vehicle for a while, and then shine a black light in the engine compartment to see dye stain(s).

I'll cross my fingers

This one thing has been plaguing me since it went out. I personally couldn't care less about having AC, but the look on my MIL's face....

Oh god
