Nav and Radio Question
no TSB - more subtle than that You ask an interesting question. The story I best like re the operation of the Low Coolant Level warning light circuit being suspended is as follows: LR introduced the D3 in 2004 in the UK and then into the North America market for 2005. By then, LR was... -
Nav and Radio Question
brake light switch It is possible that the brake light switch is the problem. Even if replacing it does not solve the problem, your money will not have been wasted as the switch is a problem waiting to happen - a new one is good preventive maintenance. The link below has a number of files... -
Alarm going off
good to hear We will all keep our fingers crossed but it sounds like you determined the problem, which is the hard part, and a potential fix. -
Alternator - OEM or Aftermarket?
so potentially two problems then We appreciate the warning re the B+ terminal and the method of attachment - that one may have to use bits from the removed alternator - an easy solution. The other potential problem is the pulley having the wrong number of grooves. I gather the pulley you... -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
Hill Descent system - only on Land Rover The brake light switch has two sets of contacts - one set to the brake light bulbs and the other set to the ABS module which is connected to the engine computer which is connected to the tranny which ... and it goes on. Yes, other vehicles have ABS... -
Water leaking onto passenger floor
Super 88 preferred to Super 33+ I think you will find that the 3M black vinyl electrical tape holds better than one might think. I use the Super 88 vinyl electrical tape rather than the Super 33+ type due to our cold weather up here but either type should be fine. As to mess, that is why I... -
Water leaking onto passenger floor
3M black electrical tape Here is another link re replacement of the cowl. http://www. disco3. co. uk/forum/topic76762.html Cut and paste and remove the three extra spaces I inserted to beat the blocking. You might also consider just taping a length of black 3M electrical tape full... -
Alternator - OEM or Aftermarket?
About three years back, my factory alternator quit - well the solenoid quit I think, and I replaced the alternator with a Wilson / WAI aftermarket unit. The first unit only lasted perhaps a week, (something to do with the internal regulator), and the free replacement second unit came with a... -
Alarm going off
Perhaps the fault is the start of a trend? Let us know how this turns out. If lubrication works, that is good news as I tend to think this no message door ajar switch? malfunction fault could be something we will see more of over time. -
Alarm going off
squirt something into the door latchs I read on another thread that a guy had isolated a similar problem - alarm goes off, but no warning message on the display, to a presumed problem with the door ajar switch within the drivers door lock assembly. He squirted CRC, whatever that is, into the... -
Sporadic dash Display
loose connector at rear My first guess is that the one and only connector from the instrument cluster cable has come loose and just has to be unplugged and plugged back in. For some reason, the plug seems to lose tightness. Most often it shows as the temperature gauge needle not moving but... -
AC went out!
frangible AC coupling If the compressor were to seize, the frangible coupling should shear. You will loose your AC but should still beable to navigate. Note that there is no AC clutch per compressor designs of years back. -

Bodsy's Brake Bible Link on disco3 to Bodsy’s Brake Bible http://www.bit.ly/12OMluD Download the latest version; v1.6a. As of when I last looked, there has been over 13,000 views/downloads of his free 36 page pdf. I see he now has a French edition as well. The black art part is... -
06 LR3 Turn signal no noise
appreciate the speaker link The speaker link is appreciated as getting one that works is a bit of a luck thing. Also mounting the speaker remotely via extended leads off the printed circuit board is I think very wise. The quality control of this far east stuff may be even less than Land... -

brake light switch replacement files The link below has a number of files within with a bit more on the brake light switch and replacing it as well has background as to the probably reason why. http://www.**************/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=5082 where the ****** are replaced by... -
Do you use CCFL headlights?
Chips on Board Thanks for the link - Chips on Board, that is new to me. I was looking again at the pictures above of your 3. It certainly appears very well equipped and looks very neat and clean at the same time - the mods are well thought out. It sounds like you did some major changes... -
Do you use CCFL headlights?
Circle On Board lights? Do you have a link for these COB lights? I have not heard of the term previously, but they sure look bright in the day time. You said that they are LED but they do not look to be any sort of LED I have previously seen. I guess I have not seen much up here but snow... -
installing backup camera from garmin
update appreciated I appreciate the update. One sometime wonders with regards often to silence. I note that you have a model year 2008 LR3. For what it is worth, I regard those of the best of the bunch. By 2008 Land Rover had finally incorporated a few necessary fixes but had not yet... -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
copied it all down I copied the instructions down so they will not be lost. This will turn out to be an all week task. I guess that is why the results are better than average; the effort required is more than average also. We have something up here call Ming Shine - not one of those... -
installing backup camera from garmin
no hoizontal parking lines For parking lines, if you mean the kind the swivel with the steering wheel, no. There are lines that suggest where to stop however. The swivel kind of line would require that the visual system tie to the Canbus so that the image would know where the front wheels... -
06 LR3 Turn signal no noise
You have a bit of a problem but there is a solution. The odds are not only do you not have the clicker, you do not have any warning bells, buzzes, headlights on noises either. This is because all these noises come from a speaker that is mounted on the printed circuit board of your... -
installing backup camera from garmin
a few links of interest Re the backup light power source, probe the trailer hitch wiring connectors that are located in the left rear C pillar area behind that little access door. One of the plug pins will show as hot when reverse is selected. Tapping in there is better than tapping in... -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
What products/procedures do you use? I just looked at the website and it would appear that this is the sort of stuff one best know what one is doing, otherwise results will not be so good. What products do you use? It would appear that as I have never used the system before, I have to use... -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
Yes, a Tahoe would be cheaper. I would say that my 3 is not as good looking as Houm's but it is certainly more reliable now than when it came from the factory. Over the years, I have routinely replaced bits and pieces as the forums found the problem areas. The styling is such that ten years... -
Transmission fault, HDC, lowered suspension height -- resolved
It is a high end vehicle. Yes, I agree with Houm; the numbers do not sound pretty but they are realistic, as is the solution to the problem. The real problem is regardless of some blue book used price, when it comes to repairing the 3, it is a high end machine and repairs cost accordingly...
