    Battery or Alternator?

    Last time I ever give YOU advice!!!! (just joking) I post on an Oregon State message board and there is a poster there that goes by "GSMbeaver" and since you have an Oregon license plate on your LR3, I thought for sure you are one and the same. Whoops....I guess I can stop calling you "Tibs"...

    Battery or Alternator?

    Could be that the batt got discharged too low and can't recover. I have had better luck with an AGM battery....where are you located?

    2005 LR3 Brake line replacement

    That doesn't feel correct, but I don't know for sure. In 2014 I took my LR3 to the Yukon Territory. As it was almost 9 years old, I decided to replace all things rubber since we were going to sub-zero temps. That included all coolant hoses and (I believe) brake lines as well. It didn't cost that...

    Tire whoas again

    I have a lot of questions.... 1. Why would the lower control arm need to be supported? I have never heard of this. 2. If you were 5' in the air, how did the 2x4s help? I can't picture the configuration of their lift/ramp.

    2006 LR3 Cross County

    Hmmm.....fresh fluids, make sure the bleeder valve is by-passed or replaced with the brass one. Maybe inspect the EAS. I think you'll be fine!

    help identifying engine noise 2009 4.4 lr3 US spec

    That's a tough one. It's just idling...no idea. I've added to my "Ear Repertoire" the sound of a warped VVT, but that's not it.

    Rattling, clunk, squeal from fr. left wheel area

    Not sure. You may need a mechanic with chassis ears to drive it.

    Rattling, clunk, squeal from fr. left wheel area

    Does it happen over bumps? Could it be a bushing?

    Rattling, clunk, squeal from fr. left wheel area

    I think that's it....I had a clunk when my clutch packs were worn out. Sorry man....it's bad news.

    Did I tear my air suspension by jacking up the rear end?

    a.) no special procedure and your jacking point sounds good. b.) I think that's just the boot or "gaitor" and if it's the actual bag you'll know!

    Rattling, clunk, squeal from fr. left wheel area

    I feel like I'm always chasing phantom noises! Do you happen to have a locking rear diff?

    Move on or Fix

    Really? You didn't try coils or other things first??? You just went with a non-Rover Mechanic's doomsday diagnosis and ditched it? That just feels like a bad move to me. What did you get in its stead? Nothing is the same.

    DRL's Blackout Headlight Mod

    It's legally required in WA as well....but cops don't seem to enforce it. I got pulled over ONCE on a back road between a resort and the nearest (small) town. I think the cop just wanted to flex...and make sure I wasn't drunk or whatever. He mentioned the plate and let me go. I keep one in the...

    Inner/Outer Tie rod ends replacement

    I kind of wonder if there wasn't some poor quality tie rods in the supply chain for a while. I went through a similar situation a few years ago. I managed to get 18k on a set of tie rods! I also run that size tire but not full-time. Half the year I run stock sized.

    Move on or Fix

    I'd look at the ignition coils first....and have the spark plugs been changed?
