    Broken Fig Light Glass

    I believe that the Range Rover uses the identical parts for their fogs. I think you can order the pieces (glass) seperate if you tell your part dept to look it up in the Range catalog.

    Where did you put the new sub? Did you wire it using the stock wiring or did you add an additional amp? Thanks

    subwoofer w/ HSE logic 7 stereo ?

    The subwoofer can sound non existent if you're listening to low quality mp3's that you burned on cd's. My sub is very quiet unless I'm listening to an original cd or 1 specific radio station in my area. I also thought there was something wrong with mine until I read a post about low bit quality...

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    Final update: got the D3 back from the dealer this morning. New front lower control arms with bushings installed. Drives much tighter and less movement. Knock during quick braking has been reduced by 90% (from videos in first post in this thread). I'm pleased with the result.

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    Alright, as stated I have been given and '08 SE loaner with 4,500 miles on the odometer while mine is being worked on by the dealer. Below are comparison videos of the rear 2 bushings on the control arm, the top rear bush, and the top front bush. This loaner looks and drives like it's been...

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    Did you replace the rear bushings as well? Was it done under warranty? If not, what was the cost?

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    I dropped off my D3 this morning for front control arm replacement. They gave me an '08 D3 loaner with 4,500 miles on the odometer. I'm going to take identical videos of the front and rear bushings so we can come to a conclusion. Stay tuned!

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    Mhaise57 can you take a picture and post it? If you have an air suspension D3 then you would have the same bush set up. I don't know if the movement in the videos is normal or not, that's why I posted. It seems to me that the rear look to move quite a bit, but they return to their original...

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    As promised, I have some additional videos of the rear suspension in action. I'd like to point out that in most of these videos you will hear a chatter from the right wheel area, it has been driving me nuts for almost a year and the dealer cannot locate it. If anyone has any ideas as to what...

    Quarterly sales numbers?

    I stand corrected. So is RRS leading the pack?

    LR3 issues?

    Ball joints and control arm bushes have been uprated in '08 models. Check those on any used LR3.

    Extended Warranty on the Land Rover

    Ford ESP if purchased prior to factory warranty expiring was the most economical that I could find. I went with them and have had my ball joints replaced under their cover - no problems.

    Quarterly sales numbers?

    I imagine LR2 is the strongest followed by RRS for YTD sales.

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    Trynian, did your dealer do this under warranty or did you tell them to do it? Also, did they change out all the bushes or just the rear bushings on the front lower control arms? Thanks,

    Pedal adjustments

    I just emailed nwoods about this a few weeks ago, I need extra room myself. He had his custom seat rail attachments made at a place called Frank's Fab Shop in California for about $250 (if I recall). I'm going to do the same mod. I can't find the post that he did regarding this, but he's the...

    Rear suspension chatter or flap - video

    Thanks for video. Dealer never found the cause of my rear chatter / flap noise. I'll be exploring this to see if what you found is the cause.

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    Just spoke to the service advisor, he watched the you tube clips and stated that the "bushings looked shot". He asked me to set up an appointment to have the bushings replaced. Prior to going back in I'm going to video the other bushes (front and rear) to ensure that I'm not missing anything...

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    I've emailed the youtube clips to my service advisor, we'll see what they say. I spoke to a D3 / LR3 expert technician (not affiliated with my dealer) that said these rear bushings are designed to float/articulate more than the others, but by no means should move this much. I've also read that...

    Front lower control arm bushes worn? Video

    Thanks for the comments. I'm going to email the clips to my service advisor and await feedback. When they diagnosed the ball joint issue, I requested that new control arms be installed to no avail. What's scary to me is that there is this much movement at 3 mph.
