    IID or other suspension tool to aid - Seattle area

    You can’t load Land Rover software that I know of but you can load Vehicle Personality Files that change configuration settings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IID or other suspension tool to aid - Seattle area

    I bought a second license for my LR4, totally worth it. They pop up for sale here on EP every so often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IID or other suspension tool to aid - Seattle area

    GAP hands down, I’ve read iLand is similar but not as robust. Land Rover forums have comparisons but just get the GAP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SoCal LR3 Rear Diff Service

    I went the junk yard and bought a used rear diff (non-locking) for $600. Bought the rebuild bearing kit from Atlantic British and had a local diff legend do the work. After it was ready, paid my local shop to just swap the diff’s. Worked great. Now I’m going to do the same thing your thinking...

    Towing Travel Trailer with 2005 LR3?

    I have towed a lot with my ‘06 LR3 (with 267K miles) and I have never needed an anti-sway device. The only MUST is to have the factory wiring harness that connects to the vehicle. When connected to the trailer’s wiring, a signal is sent to the car letting it know it’s towing and it will adjust...

    Air suspension shock replacement

    Did you disconnect the battery and let it sit overnight by chance? If it settles with the battery disconnected, it’s an airbag. The purpose of the need for power to the junction blocks is that they need to be energized to release air, not hold air (they are spring loaded closed). So if the...

    Air suspension shock replacement

    The center distribution block controls air to the front block and the rear block. It also is plumbed to the reservoir. If it gets damaged, it could definitely have and impact on how it manages air supply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Air suspension shock replacement

    Just keep up with issues before they become issues. Stay on too of the coolant system. You’ll get to 500K! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Air suspension shock replacement

    3 of the 4 air struts were original on mine at 235K miles, replaced all 4 with Arnott, a super easy decision to make because of their warranty. Also replaced the compressor at the same time, but did that swap by myself. I’m now at 266K miles and going strong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2006 LR3 aftermarket radio

    [emoji1312][emoji1312]This is what I use now. I don’t use SAT radio because I have my phone to stream or use offline, and I have built in SAT radio anyway. The LRBT-1 is a tad quirky though, you may need to turn the key to position II for 4 seconds before starting the car, or you may not be...

    Any insight on this roof rack?

    I have that same roof rack from Voyager and replaced it with the low-profile contractors edition (full length) with the molded front fairing and I love it. No other roof rack has as high of a load rating that I know of. Can carry 900 lbs and the build quality is amazing. The Baja Designs is the...

    Trailer Hitch Key...

    Right at the base of the green pull handle is a small hole for the roll pin. I used a small punch to tap it out. I then had to use a dead blow mallet to tap the handle off its shaft a bit so that the locking mechanism gets past its internal stop. There’s a website to get the replacement keys...

    LR3 with 134,000...long trip?

    Same here. It kills me not to know the exact issue. Glad it wasn’t a “pressure too low” or height sensor. It’s been about 3 years since I swapped compressors so I was due lol. I am just having a hard time finding a rebuild kit for the AMK compressor. They are plentiful for Hitachi’s. Sent...

    LR3 with 134,000...long trip?

    I just finished a 3145 mike trip from Sacramento, CA to Ouray, CO and back yesterday. Just a suspension error (exhaust valve issue). I had my laptop with the 4Dcan software to reset it. The rest of the rig perfomed like a champ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BFG KO2 275/70 18 too big?

    How’d this work out for you? Have you thought of raising the stock suspension height using a JR’s or perhaps using software? I’m about to put KO2’s on mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LR3 with 134,000...long trip?

    Sorry for the necro but I’m just over 205K and I’d have no problem driving it that far. The big question is if the maintenance is up to date. If so, good to go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Real world MPG on the LR4

    Straight and level at 70 mph I can get in the low 20's. Daily is around 14-16. LR3 though. Sent from my iDevice using Tapatalk

    Suspension Fault..Newbie

    How many miles on your suspension? Could be a leaky compressor, leaking pneumatic junction block, leaking struts... That RSW software mentioned above will help you measure your leak down... Sent from my iDevice using Tapatalk

    Suspension Fault..Newbie

    My guess is the height sensor is screwing up, mine just did last fall. But like the others said, the compressor could be at fault as well. Does the suspension leak down overnight? Sent from my iDevice using Tapatalk

    Potential New Owner

    There's also the Johnson Rods that replace the stock suspension height sensor arms. I believe there's another brand that does the same thing. Adds a couple inches of stock height, in addition to raising the vehicle higher when fully raised. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2006 LR3 aftermarket radio

    No integrated solutions exist. You can get Bluetooth FM transmitters, but that's about it. Honestly, I game up on the BT FM xmitr I have and now just use the AUX port. The sound is 100x better. Back to OP, I'd be happy to see the end result with an aftermarket HU. Sent from my iPhone using...
