    LR Body Kit

    LR introduced a body kit for the Discovery 3 / LR3 in 2008 with a lower and revised front bumper, and rear exhaust trim. Some people like the look, others don't. I personally think it looks good only with a change in wheels. I have a contact that has bought a number of these body kits and is...

    2006 lr3 roar sound as you accelerate

    It's likely the viscous (sp?) fan. This normally happens upon first pulling away or very soon after start up. If its happening after your D3 has warmed up there may be another issue.

    Which color hides dirt and dings best?

    Silver and gray tend to hide dirt the best in my opinion.

    Front End Knocking

    I used a Flip Mino player and clamp mount. I bought the clamp mount off of ebay for about $10.00 and just clamped it to different parts of the underside until I could get the right angle on the parts in question. Made my discussion with my dealer about the failing bushings a little easier...

    Front End Knocking

    Here are some videos I made a few years back when I had a front clunk. In my opinion the front lower control arms and the anti roll bar bushings cause about 80% of the clunk. I have always suspected that the front top control arms also play a role and wish I had these replaced. lower control...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    Bromhead - early LR3's (2005 and 2006) could fit the 285/50/20 Cooper LTZ. They then changed the bump stop design on the chassis so there was rubbing turned close to full lock. They kept the same bump stop design on the Lr4's so I order to fit the 285 LTZ you'd have to grind down the bump stop a...

    '08 or '09 LR3 SE?

    I don't believe there is a correlation, as I've seen SE's with front PDC but without bi-xenon. I think front fogs were standard from '08 on.

    '08 or '09 LR3 SE?

    My tan is hard to keep clean. I think black would be easier. Most of the 2009 model year LR3's had the halogen lights instead of the bi-xenon. If you look at CMGRovers profile pic you can see a round projector lens. That lens isn't on the halogen units. Only reason I asked was because swapping...

    '08 or '09 LR3 SE?

    Nice choice. I have java black with the alpaca (tan) interior and I wish I would have bought black interior. Do you have the halogen front lamps or the bi-xenon?

    '08 or '09 LR3 SE?

    2008 and 2009 are virtually identical on the inside. Outside is a different story, 2009 was the year they color coded the arches and bumpers which make it look closer to an LR4. If it were me I'd be buying the 2009.

    Changing rear LR4 decal to Discovery 4

    Not difficult but time consuming. You can use dental floss to slice under the existing letters. There will be foam stick pad residue still in the tailgate. You can attempt to roll the sticky stuff with your fingers but I found that spirit or goo remover helped. Following total removal of the...

    Front A Protection Bar - Should I?

    The pic I posted above is the standard LR3 A Frame protection bar mounted to an LR4. I am not aware of how they attached it but I'm sure it took some modification. BTW that tubular LR3 brush guard mentioned above has been discounted heavily in the past 12 months. My local dealer was selling them...

    HDC Fault, Engine Fault, Special Programs Not Available, EPB Fault, and more HELP!

    McAnally, it's true that a volt meter could show a good charged battery but it could be low enough to throw faults. Read about it on here a few times and had it happen to me.

    HDC Fault, Engine Fault, Special Programs Not Available, EPB Fault, and more HELP!

    Low battery can throw multiple warnings and alarms. If you have an '05 I'd be shocked if it was still on the original. HDC warnings are very common with low battery voltage.

    HDC Fault, Engine Fault, Special Programs Not Available, EPB Fault, and more HELP!

    What year is your LR3 and how old is your battery?
