    Preferred LR3 Owners Oil

    Another question has popped up in my head. As you have probably noticed by previous threads posted by myself, I'm full of questions that may be obvious to more advanced LR owners, but bare with me! I purchased my LR3 and sadly it didn't include the service records. I'm nearing 84k miles so I'm...

    Preferred LR3 Owners Oil

    I've always thought Mobil 1 was one of the leading oil brands. I'll consider Amsoil next go around.

    Are Wheels Spacers Safe?

    Would like to add Terrafirma 30mm wheels spacers from Rovers North, but not sure if this would harm anything(bearings, etc..)?

    Preferred LR3 Owners Oil

    Currently at 83,800k, changing every 5k. I personally prefer Mobil 1 5w-30. Just curious to see what the other LR3 guys run with? :driver:

    Engine Light

    I have an '05 with 83k miles. I ordered the thermostat and t-stat gasket from Autoparts Warehouse for $41.40 shipped. I'm not so sure about how easy it would be to replace the housing, but replacing the t-stat itself wasn't hard at all. Follow the steps shown above in the links given. You will...

    Trailer Hauling Questions

    Thanks CMGRover. I'm averaging 11-13mpg without towing anything. Partly due to my 32.6" tires. I'll expect to get anywhere from 9-11mpg for the trip. :/

    Trailer Hauling Questions

    Moving down to Orlando in a few weeks. I will be towing a 6'x12' U-Haul trailer for the nearly 900 mile trip. The trailer is rated at 4,400ibs with a max load of 2,480ibs. I doubt I'll near the max load which would be a total of 6,880ibs, but for safe keeping what would the safest recommended...

    new to RR, white chunks in coolant, very scared

    White means water most of the time. I would simply drain coolant and replace with fresh coolant. If the white substance appears again I would check for leaks in the coolant housing. Maybe even pick up a bottle of "Heat" at your local auto store. It absorbs water from fuel, anti freeze, and coolants.

    Cranston12, what are you talking about? A Mercedes wasn't in the video... or at least I didn't see one.

    Confused LR3!

    I recently posted a thread about my engine light coming on due to code P0128 referring to a bad thermostat. The engine light decided to turn off today which is a week from when it came on. The weather today is in the low 80's so it gives me suspicion that the fault code only comes on during cold...

    Radical New Range Rover Expected Autumn 2012

    Of course it's longer and wider. With the more technological advancements they implemented it would be a cause for more room for the already millions of miles of electrical wire. :P

    No Rush, But Taking Offers.

    I have put a lot of thought into it and decided to put my 2005 LR3 SE on the market. I purchased it only three months ago with 77k miles. It currently has 83,500 miles. No warranty. From the time of purchase I have had the 5,000 mile oil/filter change(synthetic Mobil) and tires have been...

    Time for New Plugs?

    Thanks for the tips and advice. I think I'll just stick it out with the plugs that are currently fitted on there. I haven't had any issues with power loss or misfire so I'll wait it out.

    Time for New Plugs?

    About to roll over to 84k miles on my 2005 4.4L. I want to change the plugs out myself to save the money on labor. Are NGK ifr5n10 okay to use? Also, I pulled the engine cover off, but am a bit stumped as to where the plugs are located. I have changed plugs on several vehicles other than Land...

    Need advice on potential purchase

    Depends on how much the asking price is.. Never overpay for something that isn't worth the cost of owning.

    Engine Light

    I ordered the gasket seal and thermostat for a total of $41.40. Not bad at all. Luckily the housing isn't cracked.

    Engine Light

    P0128 was the code given. "Coolant temp. is always low", "Power train control module verifies that the engine is at a proper operating temp."- Probable cause- "Check coolant level" OR "T-Stat defective". I called the Body Shop in Birmingham, AL(specialize in British vehicles). I could have the...

    Engine Light

    Forgot to mention.. I had the oil changed and filters changed about 1,000 miles ago. I'm currently at 83,480 miles. Is there a chance that maybe the shop that did the service forgot(or lack of knowledge) to reset the computer?

    Engine Light

    Needing some help. I went out of town for a week. Before I left my LR3 was running fine with no warning lights on. When I left the outside air temp was in the high 70's, low 80's. I come back to 40-50 degree weather. I start my truck with no problems the day I come back. I drive about 5 miles...

    Johnson Rod lift problems

    That's an odd problem, yet I don't think it would be due to the rods as I have had mine on for about 15k miles with no issues. As they say each Landy is different. I'd go with the steps given above.
