2006 LR3 Starting issues
I had a P0345 camshaft position sensor error a few weeks ago when my LR3 also failed to ‘catch’ on starting. Definitely not a bad sensor and down to low battery voltage. In my case, one of my front struts was leaking air causing the compressor to run way more than usual and as a result my... -
Permanently remove the factory installed A-Bar protection frame
There’s two versions of the A-frame one bolted from the front, one from the back. Yours sounds like it’s bolted from the back. http://media.disco3.co.uk/ownerinfo/LR005237_Protection%20Bar%20A_Frame.pdf -
Bluetooth Upgrades
I fitted a Kinivo BTC450 to my LR3 a few years ago and it's been great. I stuck the controller just behind the parking brake switch. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009NLTW60/ref=psdcmw_1293687011_t2_B0739RGDFJ -
Battery life
I've gone through three Interstate Megatron H8 batteries in the four years I've owned my LR3 and they've all failed when it gets cold, which in San Diego isn't really saying much. I also have a Traxide dual battery setup with an Optima yellowtop and a National Luna battery monitor. The voltages... -
Major Coolant Leak
Mine decided to break at the pile of rocks on the Mojave Road so you're lucky yours failed at home! I lost a lot of coolant and the engine went into some kind of limp-home mode with reduced power. I trail fixed it with a pen body, added more coolant and fortunately no damage was done. If you... -
Dealer put wrong fluid in rear locker...what to do?
The open diff oil won't have the necessary friction modifiers that the locking diff requires for the clutch pack to work. The binding noise is most likely the sound of the clutches slipping. The reason I say this is I had a GTO a few years ago with an LSD and that used to bind and go with a... -
Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?
They stick out 2.75" which for me isn't really far enough to be useful as a step, especially when they're wet. I dare say some grip tape would make a difference though. -
Extended Roof Rails - Missing Plastic Spacers
I fitted genuine extended roof rails to my LR3 and no washers were used or supplied. The mounting screws did have a paper thin plastic shim where the underside of the rail touches the threaded insert, but it was only about .003 thick. These shims are definitely not used as a spacers and... -
Sqeaky passenger rear wheel after disc and rotor change
Mine does this. It's the parking brake shoes lightly dragging on the inside of the rear rotors. You can adjust the parking brake and it will probably fix the issue. -
Recommended aftermarket brake pads
I have Akebono pads on my LR3 with OEM Brembo rotors. While the pads are very low dust, I don't feel they have very much bite and so wouldn't recommend them. -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
I think you'll probably have to drill those remnants out. They're M6 threaded holes in the roof so a 3/16 drill bit should be small enough to not damage the threads. -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
Sorry, I thought you meant different ones. If it's the 4 plugs that are in the rails that cover the mounting screws then there's really no way of getting them out without destroying them ... at least that was my experience. They have a small slot at one side for getting a screw driver in, just... -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
If it's the front ones, twist the plug with a flat bladed screwdriver pressed in the top. -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
Cheers, yeah, it's infinitely adjustable. I used the Front Runner 40mm foot set, but the T-nuts that come with it are Unistrut and don't fit into the LR roof tracks in a way I was comfortable with. (https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/front-runner-foot-set-40mm.html) As for the noise... -
Favorite Roof Rack? (boats, boards and a storage box)
I used to have a Front Runner full length safari rack which was a great product, but the wind noise was unbearable as was the hit to fuel economy. The OEM Land Rover crossbars are a bit flimsy, so I now just run 3 Front Runner cross bars mounted to their 40mm foot kit with some custom fixing... -
Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?
Yeah, I bought them from Atlantic British about six weeks ago. They were good enough to refund me the cost of the hardware I had to buy, but otherwise uninterested in the problems I had with them. -
Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?
I wouldn't recommend buying them unless you can ensure you're getting the latest version, but I guess it's easier if you know what needs modifying. I paid $500 for mine which was a good deal I thought and Lucky8 were charging $1000 at the time. I wonder if theirs are the later version with them... -
Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?
The screws I used to mount the sliders were the ones LR uses to mount the OEM side steps. Took me a while to find the part number and might be useful to someone. LR006018. IMG_6191 by anglotron posted Apr 13, 2017 at 12:11 AM -
Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?
I recently bought the Terrafirma sliders as they were half the price of anything else available and I liked the fact they were only 35lbs a side. In retrospect I should have sent them back for a refund because the fit was absolutely dreadful and I had to elongate all of the holes by about an...
