    Speakers not working

    I do not know what the term "android radio" refers to, but the hard reset procedure can cure any number of silly problems the 3 develops for no good reason - well maybe a low voltage due to engine start in cold weather, that sort of "now what" problem that appears for no apparent reason.

    Issues with my 2006 LR3

    You might want to start going thru my files per the link below to get an idea of solutions to some of the problems; also it will be an introduction to the fact you have purchased a mobile computer that just happens to be the Worlds Best 4x4 - and there is a cost to that fact. The files...

    LR4 in high cross winds situation

    This fall during the fires, I had the A pillar plastic fly off a Ford Explorer down on the Crowsnest,(Hwy 3), one gusty day when an approaching semi passed. The A pillar plastic has not let go yet on my 3 however. The Explorer, (company car), really amuses me as so much of its design is a...

    Driving and come SYSTEM FAULT SPECIAL PROGRAMS NOT AVAILABLE

    Install a new brake light switch - does not cost much, and solves a lot of false problems. The link below has a number of files within that provides some insight. I see one of the files has near five thousand views so switch replacement may be worth consideration...

    Saying goodbye to an albatross

    This list is probably correct. I figure the LR costs more in the first five years than any of the others below the first five makes. The reality is for the first four years, most vehicles are on new car warranty but the LR and the first five will need money spent on them not covered by...

    New OEM Lug Nuts or Gorilla Lug Nuts?

    M14 x 1.5 is the correct internal thread. The link below is to a metric drawing of the lug nuts for my LR3, the same as the jpg attached but with more data. I think they are the same for the LR4. The inch drawing in the post above appears about correct. The important item is the "washer"...

    Speakers not working

    Hard reset is the most probably solution and costs nothing. For whatever reason, it is not uncommon for the radio speakers to quit after either a battery change out or an alternator replacement. It has something to do with removing the power from the computers before the electronics have gone...

    AIR SHOCKS REPLACEMENT

    You will have to contact Arnott and ask them if a software upgrade is required. In kind of think now, but I just do not know. Let us know regardless as if an upgrade is required, Arnott should be noting that when a sale is made. One reason the AMK needs a software up grade is that while the...

    AIR SHOCKS REPLACEMENT

    The link below has a file within specifically related to your hitch. With early models of the 3, the "plow" did not come standard - you had to purchase it extra; also there were key lock problems with the early units as well - referenced below. In theory, you can find the "plows" on eBay; I...

    AIR SHOCKS REPLACEMENT

    Below is a link to my album which contains a number of files related to the air system and a good number of other items relevant to your 3. Your good news is that I presume replacing the air compressor must have for the most part, resolved whatever your concern was. I might mention that if the...

    Diagnostic tool? iLand???

    I have the Black Box Nanocom Evolution unit which was probably the first unit of it type re the D3/LR3 with the ability to adjust suspension plus modify the software and firmware. https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/ The other now very common unit that can do pretty much everything the Nanocom...

    LR3 freaking out when turn off!! lights, a/c and door locks blink on and off

    Lower mileage, that is the secret - much appreciated. It makes sense of course, and important to know. I much appreciate knowing this. One other "trick" I might mention is that sometimes, the connector going into the rear of the cluster loosens - appears tight but just needs removal and then...

    LR3 freaking out when turn off!! lights, a/c and door locks blink on and off

    So you are saying that you did not have to purchase a brand new one, but just got a similar junk yard display and then were able to put your 3's software back in - as in overwrite whatever was in the old one. What year is your 3? Mine is 2005 and I thought the chips on the instrument panel...

    Will 2003-2005 RR wheels fit on LR4?

    I am running Pirelli Ice and Snow 235 65 R18 XL 110H on my 18" Land Rover ten spoke rims for my winter tyres; Bridgestone Dueler Alenza HL 255 55 R19 11V XL for summer on my six spoke 19" rims. Note for winter, that I used narrower taller rubber, but on 18", not 19" as I think you are looking...

    Alternator going bad?

    Count the number of grooves in the pulley! One thing I learned the hard way when replacing my alternator was to first count the number of grooves in the replacement alternator and compare that to the removed. As to how many grooves are correct, all I will admit to perhaps five, maybe six, and...

    06 LR3 Transmission Fault, glovebox fuse F33 continually blowing

    To my knowledge, an LR3 has only three brake lights - the middle high one and one on each side at the top. The 3 has 4 taillight filaments - two on each side but on 2 brake light filaments. Either you has a 3 that is different from most with respect to tail light bulbs or something is feeding...

    Will 2003-2005 RR wheels fit on LR4?

    I assume what you are saying that all four wheel together add up to over 8,000 pounds which is correct. I think the reason for the high rating of each wheel is that it is not uncommon for the 3 to be momentarily balancing on two wheels under difficult off road conditions. In those rare cases...

    Will 2003-2005 RR wheels fit on LR4?

    If load rating matters, technically, only wheels off an LR3 or 4 will meet spec for the 4. This is because of the higher load rating of 940 kgs per the marking shown below on the backside of a 6 spoke 19" wheel off an LR3. These wheels are factory standard on the 2005 LR3 SE and Made in Italy...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    This is the link to the air compressor piping layout along with all main parts named. It is a doc you can download and print out. Hopefully then you can follow the airlines going into the air compressor. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3802&pos=1 Regarding getting the...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    EAS Calibration would be yes, easier, much easier. Pulling the fuse should help tell the story.

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    I think I see good news - the fact your Nav appears to correctly display what is obvious from the jpgs of the 3 suggests to me that your problems are what I call "mechanical" rather than "electrical". By "electrical", I means wiring or computer type problems, in other words, stuff you cannot...

    Replacing window switch - Help!

    My thoughts are that since you purchased a whole new assembly, I think you should just install it and not try to take the unit apart. I expect internally, there is a single printed circuit board with embedded membrane contacts for all the switches. This is not like the old days where each...

    Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved

    I have a 2005 LR3 with 175,000 miles and all is working well. I might add that I spend about $6,000 a year in maintenance so I suppose that should not be a surprise. You did right in getting your 3 towed as replacing Jaguar engines in not quite the same as installing a junkyard 350 into a...

    Engine air filter

    Don't forget the HVAC filter. The link below shows how to locate and replace the heating AC system inlet air filter in the LR3/D3. I think the LR4 is the same. Relative to the engine air filters, the HCAC filter can get really dirty fast. I may go two years on the engine air filter, but the...
