    Wind noise/hum on newly acquired LR3

    Hmmmm....I have the same noise, only periodically, on my '06 but not my '05. I always thought it was the A-Pillar in certain crosswinds. The '06 has a roof rack but yours doesn't I see. My '05 is just "tighter" in general so that is how I accounted for the '06 making noise and the "05 not...

    high pitched brief squealing coming from engine

    Isn't the AC compressor more "whiny" than a "squeal?" A video with audio or just an audio clip would sure help. I know you can't always reproduce it, but....

    Air suspension shock replacement

    Good info, thanks. Luckily my '06 is more of a camping and light duty rig. My '05 is the built one and it has OEM shocks all the way around.

    Air suspension shock replacement

    How did you/they blow them out? Just curious what the failure mode is. I have Arnotts on my '06 and if there is something to look for, symptomatically, I'd like to know. Thanks.

    Overspeed Warning

    Maybe it's for teenagers....???

    Overspeed Warning

    I didn't realize that that was possible....even on a MY05? Who the hell would want that?

    Overspeed Warning

    You are going to have to be a lot more descriptive. I've had an LR3 for 17 years now and there is no "Overspeed" Warning. Take some pics or videos of what it's doing and upload them.

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    If you have that option - to swap the 19s for 18s - then you should definitely do that.

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    I think you can fit KO3s on that rim (don't quote me) but you're still going to be lacking for sidewall.

    Help, Wheel alignment 06 LR3

    I don't know that I'd trust this to Les. Also, the Steering Angle Sensor and calibration is what I was thinking as I perused your list of fixes and saw everything BUT that...and it certainly triggers those symptoms which you described.

    06 LR3 suspension issue

    That could absolutely be at fault. No pun intended.

    06 LR3 suspension issue

    This doesn't sound like a short or a fault to me. It was a momentary engagement in a turn, which is exactly when DSC should activate, but it's usually not happening in routine turns at what I assume are normal speeds and conditions. That's why I think it's related to something loose in the...

    06 LR3 suspension issue

    Okay I had a feeling it was that. This is the indication of a DSC engagement. While that is a normal function of the LR3, it shouldn't happen all that often. Sometimes this frequent DSC engagement is caused by a worn out bushing (either control arms, swaybars, or both). So it sounds like two...

    Rigid spring installation vs air struts

    Kris, you did the conversion even while admittedly knowing little about the LR3 and how its drivetrain works? That's....well, ill-advised. Anyway, the LR3 is all wheel drive but with a locking center diff that can't be manually locked but choosing various terrain settings make it more apt to...

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    It is possible that the new sensor was within spec of the previous in terms of the calibration, but I'd say as a general rule you would need to recalibrate....and why not? It's easy AF.

    06 LR3 suspension issue

    Okay Docta.....let's pump the brakes. I think I can help, but let's harmonize terminology here and clarify a few things. What are you referring to as the "rollover warning" since there is no such thing? What aftermarket sensors did you get? I've never heard of any height sensors in the...

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    Yes please; follow-ups are always welcomed.

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    I think you still need to recalibrate after changing a single height sensor.....

    "LIGHTS" warning light on dash

    Are you talking about the headlight icon on the dash, flashing? Does your LR3 have the 4x4 info screen (does it have NAV?)

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    When I say "GAP tool" I'm referring to the IIDTool by GAP Diagnostics. There are others (Autel, iCarsoft) but I can only advise about what I know, which is the GAP. The Blue Tooth version is about $500. I don't think they even sell the non-BT version anymore. $500 might sound like a lot, but...

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    1. Can you find out which compressor you have without taking anything apart? I'm not sure on this but I think if you can get the acoustic cover off you can tell. The AMK is way larger and sits on a stainless steel mounting bracket. I don't think the Hitachi uses that bracket. 2. A hissing...

    2006 LR3 SUSPENSION HELP

    Have you read the code that goes along with the fault? After you get the fault, do you get dropped to Access Height or does it drive as normal? Is the fault amber or red?

    Erratic Suspension Leak

    L319 is a (Land Rover) internal reference to the LR3; just like the L322 is the Range Rover from 2003 - 2012. Let's take a look at your original post: Hi, I'm new to the forum. Looking forward to you guy's lr wisdom. The front left corner of our lr3 leaks down. Sometimes it will stay up...

    Erratic Suspension Leak

    Hahaha, hey no problem, dude. Also, I do live in the Seattle area! Mukilteo specifically....but am back and forth between here and Boeing Field quite often. I'll PM you. It'll be fun to grab a beer and talk Land Rover stuff, anyway.
