    Alarm going off

    fault codes per the dealer T4 I found the below related to fault codes accessible to a dealer T4. If you have a known door concern, you are probably better to spend the money fixing a real problem before you give money to the dealer for a fishing expedition. The alarm stops immediately...

    a/c drain in lr3

    AC on or has it been raining? This file is one of the two specific to the AC/Heater/Cowl drains. Given that the wet is closest to the foot rest on the drivers side, that suggests a plugged sun roof drain. If wet appears in hot weather when you have been using the AC and it has not been...

    LR3 Water on front passenger foot space

    Perhaps the air conditioner / heater cowl drains instead The link below has a couple of files related to the two drains off the bottom of the heater/AC cowling. If the wet is closer to the transmission hump than the door, then the water is most likely coming from one of the two cowling drains...

    Alarm going off

    probably experiment I think I would be replacing the door sensor. I would tend to think there is something wrong there. With my 3, I have never had to slam any door shut; closing the doors has always been a gentle procedure as the closing always has a solid feel. I am trying to think...

    Lr3 Low Coolant Message

    Tranny oil change and filter I guess the low coolant message is just the soaked float problem so that is solvable by yourself - replace the tank assembly complete and you get a new float. Re the tranny, I presume there has never been an oil and filter change. This I would suggest first...

    Lr3 Low Coolant Message

    Problems might be interrelated - it is a LR thing! Regarding the coolant, I guess the real question is what is the coolant level in the coolant tank? If it is low, then it should perhaps be topped up. Per the jpg's attached, there is a low level line molded into the plastic. Usually when...

    Lr3 Low Coolant Message

    tranny oil change That is one of the approved procedures re doing a tranny oil change. It is also a good opportunity to get at both differentials and the transfer case for a routine oil change. What you see is why LR does not change the tranny oil on any leased 3 or 4 under the all...

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    would be nice it it was within the fan unit A few years back I replaced the fan assembly as it for the most part, wanted to run only at full speed and not slow down. For a year or so, there were no fan speed issues but then after some time, I would get the intermittent high speed for short...

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    yes, no codes My theory as to why there are no codes is that the systems thinks all is fine and that the fan is doing what it is supposed to. One might not confuse logic with what is correct, but the systems do.

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    a fuse I gather, F16 I noted a sort of light bulb icon beside the F16 fuse. I have always wondered what that light bulb like icon was supposed to mean.

    Fan Clutch Not Working Properly

    What relay? I have to agree with not panicking when a light goes on or a noise starts - that just seems part of the LR mystique - well maybe mystery. As to mystery, the relay you refer it, it is apparently in the engine compartment fuse box but which one? I looked thru the viscous fan wiring...

    Cruise works intermittently

    maybe no codes If codes even exist for what is I suppose perceived to be a yaw concern, I do not know if codes would even be generated. The system may just think there is no fault - the computers are just doing what they are supposed to be doing. When all is perfect, if the anti skid system...

    Cruise works intermittently

    Wheel alignment? Rather than the tyres, I am wondering if you perhaps have a wheel alignment concern? By wheel, I am referring to the steering wheel rather than the four round things surrounded by the MT's. If the steering wheel is not sitting at near 12 o'clock, then after some distance...

    Cruise works intermittently

    yes, East Penn Manufacturing in PA. I expect it was I who mentioned the Made in USA Deka branded battery. Deka is one of the marketing brand names of the East Penn Manufacturing Company located at Leon Station in Pennsylvania. http://www.eastpennmanufacturing.com/applications/automotive/...

    Cruise works intermittently

    Better battery? I would say that I am an Interstate fan, at least for the 3 as I do not know what would be more suitable. It is not so much as there are not better made batteries out there, it is just that I think keeping to the CaCa style of battery construction matters with regards to the...

    Cruise works intermittently

    button pushing may have worked It is too early to say given the intermittent nature of my "Cruise not Available" concern, but since I spent a bit of time a couple of weeks back, rapidly rocking/pushing both the cruise buttons, I have not again seen the problem - well perhaps it will show...

    Nav and Radio Question

    Message centre may display cooling system concerns. I have a Scan Gage II connected to my OBD port, in part my solution to knowing what the coolant temperature is. The temperature numbers displayed seem to come right from the coolant temperature sensor as the numbers change with weather /...

    Nav and Radio Question

    engine temperature indicator As best I can determine, beside the fuel gauge, the other round gauge with the needle, that for the mostly sits horizontally, is effectively an engine temperature indicator rather than a coolant gauge. My understanding of the operation of the indicator is that it...

    Cruise works intermittently

    my order of the possible fixes With my 3 since it is rarely clear what the solution to any problem us, usually I try the cheapest fix first. In this case, that being repeated pressing of the cruise buttons for a couple of weeks; then the brake light switch if it has not been recently...

    Cruise works intermittently

    coincidence - perhaps but doubt it That is a good question, but I do think in my case a few years back, the deteriorated condition of the brake light switch had something to do with the problem, and replacement was effectively the fix. It is a bit more complicated however, in that I also...

    Cruise works intermittently

    so perhaps the switches I am not certain just what 3 Htz means, but the thirty to forty, I understand. That I will try the fix. I like the idea of the switches and since the switches can give the IID tool a problem, then it sounds very possible that the switches may also be the cruise...

    Cruise works intermittently

    could be the steering wheel switches I have the same problem, but very intermittent, and it has been there for it seems like years. I would say a new brake light switch was my first attempt at what seemed like fix a few years back. With the new switch, the problem for the most part went...

    Brake Lights don't work when headlights are on

    trouble shooting tip The odds are the problem as suggested is something to do with the bulbs in the rear tail light assemblies - could also be with the reverse bulbs by the way. As such, first remove / disconnect one of complete assemblies and see if the fault messages still show. If they...

    Car wash on rails or 100% hand wash only?

    the 3 is too delicate for the urban jungle I only wash my 3 myself, mostly in a wand wash, and in the summer with a rag and water hose - which works the best. I am even afraid of the spray only type of car wash where a water spray framework moves over the 3 while one sits parked in the 3...
