    LR3 Expedition Roof Rack - Chicago

    Local guy is selling his LR3/LR4 expedition roof rack. My guess is he would take $500 after talking with him. If you are interested pm me and I'll direct you to the ad. The guy lives in Chicago.

    Early build 2005 LR3's had black lug nuts. Mine had them.

    Anybody else need new tie rods and bushings at 30K miles?

    Yes, mine had it done at 25,000 miles. I would insist on the dealer putting in new control arms with the newly designed ball joints.

    Wheel Options

    General Grabber just came out with a competitor to the GY MTR's. Tire comes in 255/55/19 standard for LR4.

    LR4 Price

    I'd find out the build dates of the 2010's they've been offerring you. Make sure they haven't been sitting there on the lot for a year or have been in service for a year. The warranty starts when they go into service. So you should negotiate an extension if you buy that would give you a full 3...

    LR4 to use Ford Eco Boost V6

    My 4.4l v8 feels underpowered in my LR3. I wouldn't buy an Lr4 with the eco boost I'd want the full 5l v8.

    oil leak

    If I were you I would send certified letters to your LR dealer and LR USA saying that you would like to start the process of vehicle rejection. This will not only put your inconvenience / engine issue to the front but also let them know that you aren't satisfied with having such a repair after...

    Ugh, another front suspension question...advice.

    Lower front control arms, arb bushings, front upper control arms, steering rack. I had all those checked for my front clunk. New front lower control arms and arb bushings solved 95% of the clunk.

    Clear Bra

    Purchasing new letters sounds right to me. They would be a nightmare to cut around. Unless you do a lot of highway driving with traffic I don't see the value in the protection.

    2011 LR4 Voice Controls

    This is the first I've heard of this, I find it hard to believe. I can't imagine how much $ LR invested in the voice system, to give it the Heisman is pretty shocking.

    CPO, worth it?

    I got the ford esp 3 year extension for my '05 HSE. Paid for itself in the first 12 months. If I recall I paid $1,900 for the 3 extra years of coverage which was half off from what LR wanted for their extended coverage.

    Front Control Arm Catastrophic Failure

    I've been reading these LR3 forums for close to 5 years, both this forum and the disco3.co.uk site. This is the only instance of failure I have seen. I would say that if you have an '05 with 75,000 miles I'm shocked your bushings aren't worn out. I had my fronts replaced at 28,000 miles on my '05.

    LR3 Spare Tire Winch Problems?

    They should pay. Winch for spare should also never be used without load or it can get bound up.

    When is the US going to get a diesel LR4?

    That's why I believe the current lineup will be the last true heavy duty off road LR's. My guess is they slim down (weight) and offroad capability except for the project icon LR (which will probably replace the Defender and LR4).

    When is the US going to get a diesel LR4?

    I do not believe the diesel D4 meets US regulations for emissions. I expect that the next wave of LR's will be 2wd drive electric hybrids with 4wd selection - you can turn 4wd on or off rather than full time like the current lineup.

    Help - Do I need to buy a Warranty for a 50k miles '05 LR3

    3rd for the Ford ESP. It even covers air compressors - I'm on my 3rd. Doubt the Nissan would cover that.

    15,000 mile oil change?

    Does the LR4 require any special tool to replace/remove the oil filter? Also, where is it in the engine bay? Up top and easy to access or down below per typical?
