2011, 66k miles, flat battery issues
Pretty much all sources alternative to a LR dealer are in US dollars, hence your best bet is probably a local LR dealer. It probably will take them a week to get it from Mississauga or where ever it is that Caterpillar has their LR parts warehouse in Ontario. My link referenced above pretty... -
2011, 66k miles, flat battery issues
If you have someone to rev the engine up a bit, yes, and with a bit of finesse you should be able to do that yourself from the drivers seat via the two button rear hatch release procedure. Revving up the engine will generally up the system voltage closer to fourteen volts and that sure beats a... -
2011, 66k miles, flat battery issues
The actuator that releases the upper tailgate is what I call a gear motor located within the lower tailgate. If it does not operate when previously it has, do not turn off your engine but let it idle so that vehicle voltage is a bit higher than when the engine is not running. Sometimes the... -
Sunroofs don’t open
You might provide us with an update as to your progress with the sunroofs and rack. Updates are always appreciated. Below is a link to perhaps a hundred or so files, a few with jpg's related to a number of aspects re your 3. Some you might find of general value... -
KEY FOB OPENED THE WRONG LR3!!!
My guess is also that the other 3 was unlocked. This would be because his keyfob, like many others, does not work at all. In other words, you are one of the lucky ones. For him to lock and unlock his 3, he has to do it manually, a bit of a nuisance. This brings up another question. Do you... -
Another Defender hint?
I think like our 3's and 4's, if you start looking at the individual parts in the new LR products, you will see lots of FoMoCo markings. It costs money and time to design vehicles and LR has neither. Tata, who I unfairly call a world leader in 3 wheelers, (was, not now I guess), has the money... -
Another Defender hint?
I guess I should be encouraged, and I suppose my 2005 LR3 still has seven years in it. My understanding of capitalism is that what you did yesterday does not matter; it is today that counts. Having designs that the Chinese copy is not my idea of success. It would be nice to have at least one... -
Another Defender hint?
I do not think Land Rover / Tata has lost enough money yet. Currently they are blaming their Chinese operations for not carrying the Company world wide. I gather effectively no one in Australia is buying their new "cars" but the D3/D4 used market remains strong. I am not kidding that the... -
Another Defender hint?
Does it look capable? To me, that is the marketing question. Or at least should be. My first reaction was to wonder if I was looking at a larger Mini. If the tyres are smaller than a Wrangler and less tall, I am concerned. The front end should be more square and upright with some semblance... -
Trailer wiring
I presume that Land Rover has resolved the quick flash concern related to LED trailer lights behind an LR4? If so, it seems odd, (or very Land Rover), that LR would not have factory programmed for auto cancellation of the backup sensors when a trailer is attached. The fact that an update is... -
Spark Plugs
That is when you want to change the plugs - when they still look good. Another good reason for changing out the plugs regularly even if they are still OK is that we have aluminum heads - well aluminum engines. Leave the plugs in too long and the engine threads tend to freeze to the plugs and... -
Trailer wiring
You might next ask where you can get the "update" for your ODBII device. It you can find one, I will be surprised. If there is an update and there might be for something trailer related, it will only be available and installable with either the dealer device, a GAP device or a BlackBox... -
Trailer wiring
There should be no software flash needed re the trailer wiring hookup, however LED trailer lights will cause odd blinking of the trailer lights as the system was designed for normal tungsten trailer bulbs. The link below provides a home built solution to the LED related blinking if it is... -
Android Head unit?
Is there some difference between the terms Android Head Unit and Android Auto? I do not know much about this stuff but what is above supposed to do - just allow your Android phone to display on a larger display? I gather for most of the devices, the "radio" in our 3 is to remain, just the "TV"... -
'11 LR4 vs UHaul
I see the original post was in June so I imagine the trip is long since completed. The link below has a number of files related to trailer wiring for the LR3. They also cover the LED concern. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497 -
LR4 problem with trailer brake/turn light
The link below has a number of files related to your trailer wiring and LED lights. One of the files has a wiring drawing showing how to make an adapter to allow for the use of LED trailer lights. I used two 6 ohm 50 watt resistors. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497 -
Suspension shock absorbers
As I presume you are new to your 3, you might want to look thru the various files I have collected re the air suspension system per the link below. I note that one has over five thousand views and another over four thousand, hence I guess others regard them of value as well. Your 3 has what I... -
Coolant low warning on- and leaking into passenger footwell??
Below is a link to a number of HVAC files I have assembled related to my LR3. I doubt the mechanicals of your 4 are much different than my 3, (the electrics probably are). The good news is that your problem is most likely a leak in the heater core and hence the sort of thing that at least one... -
Rosen Entertainment System - Won’t Read Disk
The link below has a number of files related to the install and trouble shooting of your Rosen A10 system. A few hours spent reviewing the various pdf's might provide the solution. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=34462- bbyer

Another Defender hint?
Yes, just rebadge the LR4 - a no brainer and the development costs were long ago written off, hence the badges would be the only new cost for the new Defender. While it would always be a limited production vehicle, at least Land Rover would still beable to claim some tie to its past. It is no... -
2008 LR3 Dash Failure (Lights Out)
In an LR3, if the battery is more than five years old, and has not been regularly put on a battery maintainer for a week or so a couple of times a year, then installing a new battery can be good preventive maintenance. An LR3 is really a mobile computer masquerading as the worlds best 4x4. The... -
2008 LR3 Dash Failure (Lights Out)
There is a single big cable connector on the rear of the instrument cluster that over time works loose. That is probably why you have a "now you see it, now you don't" intermittent kind of problem. The link below shows a picture of the rear of the cluster and the location of the plug in the... -
New steering wheel
I have the same "air bag pucker" on my 2005 and decided I like it that way. I also do not want to do what it would take to get a new one. Patina of age is how I look at it. The perimeter of my factory 2005 steering wheel looks a bit different than your original and while the top of it is a... -
Dropping calls, Bluetooth, etc...
If you mean Text Messaging on my Land Rover NAV display, I guess no as I never thought about that. Regardless, I do not think it would work as the only Bluetooth / phone display I have see in the past is on the small "radio" window or the small display window below the fuel gauge. That is...- bbyer

Dropping calls, Bluetooth, etc...
Interior signal booster? I have a theory that what seems like Bluetooth problems are actually signal reception concerns. I recently purchased a BB KeyOne to replace my BB 9900 in my LR3. I noted that I was not seeing 5 bars very often with the LTE and LTE+ and hence presumed that was the...- bbyer
