    bluetooth

    CCF file must be modified also. A short answer is that the Wiggs D4 kit is not plug and play - at least it was not for me but in newer 3s' that already have the 2121 pairing, the kit is almost plug and play. Re your 3, do you have a flipper on the left side of the steering wheel? If so, that...

    LR3 tow wiring harness

    When the trailer is attached! I think I detect a problem. If I understand correctly, both the 3 and 4 detect a trailer when the trailer wiring is plugged into the vehicle wiring. To be more precise, the vehicle detects the existence of non LED trailer signal lights. While I am not...

    bluetooth

    Phone Bluetooth The install is not what I would call easy, particularly if you do not already have the two flipper buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Below is a link to my gallery with some files related to my upgrade from the non MOST 0000 pairing setup of my 2005 LR3 to a...

    Pendulum Weights

    Mass dampeners illegal in Grand Prix racing. The link below provides a bit of background with regards to the mass dampeners located at the rear of our 3's and 4's. It sounds like if were to race our trucks in the European Grande Prix's, we would have to remove them as they provide some sort...

    Aftermarket Block Heater

    There is some history. My relatives moved up here about a hundred years ago. William Hickock and friends ran them out of the State to the south I am told. Apparently they brought the weather with them.

    Aftermarket Block Heater

    the hard part was getting the Temro number Yes, getting the LR 120VAC heater part number was relatively easy. The hard part was crossing the LR number with a Temro number as it seems that is some sort of Temro corporate secret due to the licensing agreements. Once I had the Temro heater...

    Aftermarket Block Heater

    factory block heater for petrol 4.4L V8 This is a link to the factory brass body Temro block heater for the petrol 4.4L V8 engine. The brass body does not react negatively with the aluminum block. And yes, this is the one in my 3 and I had the dealer install it as aluminum scares me...

    06 lr3 cranks wont start when wet

    wiring splice in right hand door sill? Here is a link worth at least looking at. The post of merit is the roverguy7 post where he talks about a splice I never knew about that can give problems. In your case, it probably is not the solution, however it may be worth looking at regardless...

    installing backup camera from garmin

    something similar I did something similar but used a wired camera I got off of eBay. Running conductors up thru the inside one of the rubber wire surrounds at the top of the upper hatch door was not real easy but I lubricated the inside with WD-40 and that helped the conductors slip thru...

    Water leaking onto passenger floor

    got link to work Yes, your link blocking over ride works - just copy and paste and remove the spaces. Well done. At times, I just do not want to bother posting responses here due to the fuss required. I must say it is a good link - 10 pages plus and good pictures.

    Tpms module location

    What is the problem? I looked at some tyre pressure module sensor info and about all I could determine is it appeared the whole roof liner was to come down. I do not quite believe that but I do not think it is accessible thru the front ceiling liner lights opening. If you have the roof...

    2005 LR3 Transmission Fault

    freezes up while you drive Yeah, cold is a bit different up here - we put a - minus in front of your number. Here, in the winter on a cold day, once a vehicle warms up, it is usually OK as long as we do not drive it at speed. Here on cold days, say -35F and lower, driving on the highways is...

    2005 LR3 Transmission Fault

    Raptor pan is deeper and no drain plug. I do not know the Ford part number but I did a Goggle re the Raptor and came up with a bunch of upgrade pans for the 6R80 so I presume that equates to the 6HP28 that is on the 4's. Regardless, the ZF polyamide oilpan part number, 0501 215 789 is the...

    Ford license built ZF The link below is to a number of files related to our ZF 6HP26 tranny. Of particular interest is the file related to the Ford 6R60, a license built version of our ZF. What I am saying is that I am always cautious when someone identifies the tranny as being the source...

    2005 LR3 Transmission Fault

    The fix can be simple and cheap. I would take PaulLR3's suggestion and first change the brake light switch. The odds are the problem is bigger than that, but the fact that a restart clears matters for a bit suggests a software glitch, not a tear down. The link below has additional detail...

    fuel sending unit questions

    appreciate the update We always appreciate an update to a problem; particularly if the concern is resolved. Any fuel tank issue is not a fun fix as just getting inside is a real pain. Those sending units are some sort of no moving parts, field sensing device, again there is nothing...

    Air conditioner drains, (2) This post provides a bit more data re the two air conditioner drains, (one on each side of the transmission hump), off of the front heater that is referenced in the second post above. A couple of the files within the link show where the two tubes are located and...

    No Sound From Radio/Nav/Bluetooth

    Maybe it is the amp? You seem to have checked everything that I would have looked at, hence I am puzzled. I assume you have looked thru the various files I have in my gallery re the link below for wiring diagrams and the like. There is a shop in California that does repair the HK amps but...

    Fuel Pump Removal

    Special tools to remove fuel pump. The jpg below shows about the only special tool that the Brits use when removing the fuel pump. In North America, we tend to do it the hard way - by removing the fuel tank rather than the body. Other than being no fun and metric, I do not think any...

    fuel sending unit questions

    a couple of pdf's Towards the middle to bottom of the link below, there is a 6 page and 10 page pdf related to the fuel system. Before you take anything apart, I suggest you print them off. Why do you think the problem is solved by replacing the fuel pump? I ask as there is a fuse /...

    65K miles, what services do you recommend?

    The technology within the 3 is not yet old. I appreciate your comment regarding the guides. When I got my 3 a few years back, I found it difficult to obtain material so that whenever I did find something, I decided to try to make the info available to others. I note that a surprising number...

    Drain Pipe tips....where can i get these

    clear plastic tygon tubing That clear plastic tubing you see in labs will work and comes in differing sizes. I would start at Home Depot or where they sell gardening fountains. The NAPA type places have bulk hose as well in diameters bigger than windshield washer. In this case, bigger is...

    New all terrain tires for LR3...funny story

    Door sticker say H rated OK. As posted above, H rated is OK per the door tyre sticker pdf below. Rather than trying to upsell you or being annoyed, I just think the guy in the tyre store does not know tyres. That is even worse. It seems to me that one would first look at the door sticker...
