I had the uprated ball joints installed by my dealer last month. I still have the same knock noise that you can feel in the frame of the D3 if you apply the brakes hard while traveling at very low speed. I decided to try and capture video to see if there was a problem with the ball joints...
My '05 has had enough replaced to technically be an '05.5 (or later). Funny thing about it is that I look back and the items I've had replaced I learned about on these and other forums. Reading the posts about other peoples faults or issues only made me scrutinize my own D3 more. I agree with...
Thanks for the reply, I was able to take the mirror off to show the mount in more detail. See below, is this a LR specific only? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies and ideas. I've pasted a few photos of the current auto dimming mirror below, if anyone can tell me by the attachment which mirror would fit I would greatly appreciate it.
Have you had your pads changed recently? I had mine done about 250 miles ago and directly afterwards the brakes were alarmingly soft / spongy. Now they're getting better. If not, I've read a few posts on the disco3 uk forum that describes your condition.
I have auto dimming function now. I need to look at the mirror mount. Does the mirror itself house the electronics that control the functions (garage door, etc.), or is that done by the D3's ecu? Thanks for the reply!
Older question - I've gone through previous threads and connot find the answer. I have an '05 HSE that must have just missed the Homelink mirror build option. Does anyone know if its possible to swap out the current auto dimming mirror with the Homelink mirror? Is the wiring in place? Would...
LR also released a more robust ball joint in 2008. Had mine replaced under warranty, along with lower steering shaft (per TSB), and front bushings. This fixed my front knock. Also have them put in the shims on the front and rear ARB.
Hopefully Michael LR3 can post a few photos of himself wheeling his LR3. I for one am excited, as I've never seen a picture of a troll driving an LR3......
My door handles snap, crackle, and pop as well. I drove an '09 at my local dealers when my D3 was in for service, the '09 handle crackled as well. Guess they never fixed the design. I don't know of any aftermarket handles or improved handles.
Just checked the arms on my sunroof. They're cracked - and this is my 2nd set. Dealer replaced the sunroof mechanism 1.5 years ago because of the cracks. I don't care if the dealer replaces the assembly this time as the cracks on a new one will just appear again. If anyone has their glass panel...
HDC and other faults are a symptom of a low battery. If the dealer replaced your battery and did not reflash the memory completely - eliminating the history of the previous faults - they can return. This happened to me even after my dealer swapped my battery for a new one. I drove off the dealer...
Please explain what you did and take a picture for us. I read somewhere that the LR bi-xenons are 4300 color HID. What color did you go with. Major improvement to nite driving? Thanks
Dealer just called and said that they now hear the noise and believe it to be coming from the emergency parking brake cable clanking against a threading loop. They say that they can reproduce the noise and that they were able to grease the area and reduce the noise. I am skeptical but hopeful...
If you think its ridiculous imagine how I feel. I'm just remaining calm at this point, reminding them to make sure that the technician I drove around actually goes on the test drives. Last 2 times I've spoken to dealer a different person had taken the D3 for a spin and reported no noise - then...
The landrover technical site (ownerinfolandrover.com or close to that address) has accesory fitting instructions for both a frames (winch and non-winch). You can get a sense of what it would look like to put the winch version on the D3 - but without a winch by looking at the instructions. My...
Houm_WA I actually took the tech on a test drive on pavement that I selected prior to drop off that reproduced the exact noise. He said he heard it during the test drive. I don't want to give the impression on here that I'm complaining, my dealer is telling me that they're doing whatever they...
