No sound from radio or sound system after sunroof leak into passenger footwell
This is a link to a 12 page pdf that is the wiring diagram for both the high spec and low spec audio systems. The lines depicting the wires are appropriately coloured. https://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=34462&pos=1 Below is a link to a bunch of pdf's including the above... -

10 amps is not much - how do I know? It seemed just opening the door was more than 10 amps as more than the courtesy lights power up on a 3. O well, I wanted a new "voltmeter" anyway. -
Parasitic Draw
That is a good link - much appreciated. I have about the same setup on my 3, a Traxide SC80 but Interstate batteries on both sides. I use the CTEK US3300 and maybe every 3 months, hook same alternately to each battery for a week of nights or so. The jpg's below show fused wiring from both... -
Parasitic Draw
I regard it as near impossible to figure out what is taking power and what not. Since the procedure requires keeping the bonnet open, I would jump the bonnet open/closed sensor to emulate the bonnet being closed. You could then pull fuses from the engine compartment fuse box and and watch the... -
No sound from radio or sound system after sunroof leak into passenger footwell
Grounding again - this is so Land Rover. The fix costs nothing but time - and eons of it. I find that many of the solutions to near impossible to find problems cost only time. This is the value of these forums - that others who have spent the time let the others know where the problem is and... -
Defender(s) making a massive scene recovering a 20ton truck
Below is the link to a twenty eight minute video of five 2020 factory Defenders on a trek thru the sands of Namibia. I figure that is where the tow the truck event occurred. -
No sound from radio or sound system after sunroof leak into passenger footwell
If you want to view what I think is a really enjoyable Defender video, below is a Dropbox link to about a twenty minute video filmed in the Libyan desert in 2007. The video was done as an advertising promo by a French expedition outfit to promote desert tours for 2008. Link to the French LR... -
Possible windshield prep?
I did not have to do the tape fix on the last windscreen change out, but if I do get wind noise, I run a vertical strip of black 3M electrical tape up the inside edge of the A pillar taping it to the windscreen. Done right, it hardly shows at all. -
No sound from radio or sound system after sunroof leak into passenger footwell
I am wondering how the new Defender is with regards to the vehicle systems shutting it down, (no go), as a result of a computer issue? I watched a near 30 minute LR promo video which sort of referenced that towing scene plus there was a comment re making the systems more fault tolerant. I hope... -
Possible windshield prep?
I agree; usually they have a Pilkington in stock or within a week but last year, not so - it puzzled me as well. A few years back I had the shop install a new cowling and also both A pillar covers; with the new windscreen, the 3 looked new. I have wondered about new windscreen wiper arms as... -
Defender(s) making a massive scene recovering a 20ton truck
I am not certain about fake, but I did wonder how two new Defenders that really do not yet exist show up in the same place. I presume it was some sort of LR fleet test in Africa or similar and agree, it is not remarkable. It also seems to me that the LR 3/4s did that sort of tow by themselves... -
Possible windshield prep?
Fortunately, there is one glass shop in my village that the local LR dealer sends his vehicles. As such, the guys are good at replacing the LR3/4 windscreens. They hate doing the glass roof however. I have always had them use the Pilkington windscreen but for last years replacement they... -
No sound from radio or sound system after sunroof leak into passenger footwell
I think your post got lost, so again, if I understand the question, your audio system does not make any noise and you think it has something to do with a ground? Exactly what Land Rover do you have? It sounds like a 2005 Discovery ?? HSE but without the upscale Harmon Kardon audio system that... -
Defender(s) making a massive scene recovering a 20ton truck
Do the new Defenders have a frame? I was under the impression that they are unit body. I understand the Ford Bronco's have a frame and I have been saying that the Defenders are upscale Bronco's so again, does the new Defender have a frame? -
2008 LR3, HSE
2008, that is the good 3; they finally got everything right by then so of course, was time for the LR4 and to start over again. I figure the price of a 3 is some percentage of the current market price of a Chev Tahoe. As to if it is 50% or more, that is a good question. -
2020 Defender Drive Impressions.
I have the feeling that the Defender is generally smaller inside than the 3/4. I know at the back, there is less length, but how does it feel side to side in the front seats - less width than the 3/4 or wider feeling? The Park setting being not at the top of the shifter will prove to be a real...- bbyer

Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
Yes, correct but the first purchaser is going to be like the LR3/4's, soccer Moms as a grocery getter. This is the same group that put electric lifts on the rear hatches of Tahoe's and electric sliders on the Minivans. The fact the AAA guy might have to unload the groceries to get at the spare... -
2005 to 2012 L322 Nav Upgrade
I do not suppose a Range Rover is an LR3? I note that the display size etc above is very different from what comes in the LR3 and I suppose LR4, hence there is no kit available for them. I am actually fairly happy with my Nav display - was able to update the CD a few years back so the roads...- bbyer

Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
The side hinged door is either tradition or cheaper - you choose which. Rear hatch windows sliding down into the sheet metal below costs money; same as having the glass hinge upwards off the hinged door. Our LR 3/4 tailgate is something now only found on the FFRR which costs real money and... -
Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?
I am hoping that is a few years when or if LR comes out with a 130 Defender, that the spare tyre will be somewhere other than on the door - not the bonnet either, but that is tradition. Without the door mounted spare, a 130 would be no longer than a 110 and the rear door less bulky and heavy. -
LR4 -> Defender anyone?
You are correct. The original Bronco came about because International Harvester invented the Scout and people liked it. Ford also liked it and said we can copy that, and did. People forgot the Scout as they liked the Bronco so Ford made it more comfortable and took a Ranger and made the roof... -
LR4 -> Defender anyone?
Yes, correct, but then why choose the Defender to copy? The only thing that does puzzle me is that the C&D articles and others suggest the Bronco is body on frame and the Defender appears to be Unit Body; ie, no frame. -
2020 Defender Drive Impressions.
It's a Bronco! I was wrong when I predicted that the Defender would be a rebadged Ranger; instead per the link below, it is a Bronco. You will love the rear view showing the tail lights. It seems Land Rover is doing Ford's preproduction testing again...- bbyer

LR4 -> Defender anyone?
2008 was when the economy in North American collapsed, or more correctly, the stock market. I was predicting that the new Defender would look like a Ford Ranger; I was wrong, the Defender is a pre-release Ford Bronco. Land Rover is doing the testing for Ford again. If you like the Defender... -
Drivers Side No Heat - Fixed
It has occurred to me that probably all our older 3's are suffering the clogging problem to some degree. This year, I have been wondering if my heater is a good as it once seemed to be? Unless one side gets full cold, it is a slow process that over the years, one would not notice. I have...
