    check engine light - code p003e

    Send the letter through certified mail. I'd also alert your dealer once the letter has been sent so they know you are taking the issue up with LRNA. The last thing LRNA wants is bad publicity regarding the quality of their vehicles. I anticipate that once they see you are taking this seriously...

    $4.95 / gallon here in Chicago. Still getting 8 mpg tank to tank.

    check engine light - code p003e

    If it was mr I'd have an attorney friend send a letter requesting a replacement vehicle to LRNA detailing the amount of work done, time in shop during repair, and the $ loss you have had dealing with the hassle. I'm sure once they know you are serious they will respond quicker. I myself would...

    New LR4 owner and cam sensor fault within 2 days

    How long had your LR4 been at the dealer prior to your purchase? Had it been driven regularly? Reason I ask is that LR3's and LR4's can throw all sorts of faults if the battery is too low. My LR3 lit up like a christmas tree as soon as the battery went low, dealer replaced the battery and never...

    LR3 and Stormer wheels/tires

    the picture of Ronp's wheels are not accurate compared to stock Land Rover wheels. He has aftermarket stormers with a smaller offset.

    LR3 hood letters

    Remove old letters using fishing line or similar. Remove residue. Measure according to picture below, tape cardboard onto hood using measurements, then place new "Land' and "Rover" against cardboard and onto hood. Perfect placement.

    BLACK 2011 land rover LR4 ''METROPOLIS'' limited edition????

    Is the interest in the metropolis purely because of looks? My understanding is that it does not have a lot of features compared to the hi spec LR4.

    LR3 and it's plastic

    I did 3 applications using a foam paint brush. After each coat the streaking reduced. After the first car wash there was no streaking and the plastic looked new, and dark. I tried other products but they faded or ran off during rain. Forever Black is the way to go!

    No charge, was done during regular service.

    LR3 and it's plastic

    "Forever Black". Period. Can be bought on Amazon. After following the instructions carefully and applying 3 coats my LR3 trim looks like the day I picked it up. No joke. Its lasted for 10 months so far with no fade.

    Wind Noise at 70mph - Need Help

    That makes no sense. I find it very unlikely they installed the wrong mirror.

    Is your metropolis white or black? Please post a few pics

    LR4 chicago blizzard

    Cheap clamp mount I bought off ebay. I clamped it to the top lip of the mirror and pointed the flip player towards the front. Flip player was fine as most of the snow bounced off, but there were parts of the video where you can see I had to brush the lens off from snow.

    TSB for airbag trim not covered

    Had my 2005 steering wheel and airbag replaced just before factory warranty ran out. Dealer replaced without issue, they said they'd done close to 50.

    Rear bike rack - no hitch

    Youtube Thule 964. That is the LR official swing away rack. You need the rear towbar 2" hitch but the rack when tightened is extremely solid. Not sure about non hitch racks.

    Speakers/stereo issue

    The stereo cut out issue is well documented in the LR4 brochure. They describe it as "Music Appreciation Program" wherein the computer randomly mutes the radio/cd/mp3 so you go without. Results are supposed to make the driver appreciate having music and not take it for granted.

    Count Laszlo's LR4 - Guards & Flaps Pics - Warning Hi-Res Photos

    Go to this site and select model and acessory fitting. The instructions for fitment of the mud flaps should be there (or in the LR3 section): http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com/extfree2viewlrprod/index.jsp

    Safari snorkel for lr4 FYI

    What about the intake on the other side?

    Midwest storm

    Was pretty surprising to see how effective the DSC is when engaged vs. turned off. Once I hit the button to turn it off I was able to fish tale around every corner was great. With DSC on it really limits any slide or spin, even engages abs when necessary.

    LR4 chicago blizzard

    LR3 performed flawlessly, plowed through all conditions with ease. Took it out last night about 10 p.m. drove to Lakeshore Drive to witness the full fury of the wind (was 40 mph). Lakeshore was blocked but I went up and down inner drive (parallell to Lakeshore). I tried to take pictures but you...

    Midwest storm

    Local Chicago forecast calls for 2 feet of snow in the next 24 hours. I've never had my LR3 in anything more that 6", looking forward to see how it fares in challenging conditions.

    Alpaca...Get it or not?

    I have Alpaca in my '05 HSE and I don't like it. I should have gotten the black interior. The floorboards / carpeting show all kinds of marks and dirt and I have the LR mats. Never again. Just my opinion.

    2008 Lr3 > 2005 Lr3?

    You are correct in your assumption. 2007 + LR3's have far fewer issues compared to the early years. I have an '05 and have had numerous items fixed under warranty.
