    voice recognition issues with 06 LR3 w/o Nav

    Is a 2008 up to date 4 years later? I think when you are buying a 2008 disc in 2012, it is probably genuine, but hopefully a bit stale relative to the latest production. I say hopefully, but as you referenced, I kind of doubt it. Hence maybe next year, a 2011 will hit the surplus pile and...

    voice recognition issues with 06 LR3 w/o Nav

    keeping the original DVD I tend to agree that keeping the original DVD has much merit. I did however update to the 2008 DVD a couple of years back when I was able to purchase a genuine thru one of the forum members for about fifty dollars. I did lose the hack but what surprised me was not...

    voice recognition issues with 06 LR3 w/o Nav

    same CD - new software - no hack Best you keep your original CD as with the newer CD's, that 1792 hack got bypassed and now there is no hack once a newer CD is loaded. What we are talking about is replacing the old software inside the NAV with newer software so that the input frozen...

    voice recognition issues with 06 LR3 w/o Nav

    bit of a back art yet Below is about all there is I would say with reference to Nav on the Move and it is more a series of questions rather than solutions. The mod is still a bit of a black art at this time as best I can tell - at least for the unwashed such as myself. Any other...

    voice recognition issues with 06 LR3 w/o Nav

    interesting thought A couple of weeks back I got the Nav on the Move feature working. If I understood what I did, I overwrote the existing software in the NAV with the HW_NAV1 software and then overwrote that Nav on the Move software will what I will call the NAV/Touch Screen software...

    voice recognition issues with 06 LR3 w/o Nav

    Denso GPS Voice Recognition software I do not have a precise answer to the question of voice recognition software being either included or effective with regards to the Denso system we have. The LR books are silent with regards to any hint of a learning ability, however everyone except the...

    voice recognition issues with 06 LR3 w/o Nav

    be patient with the lady Mine does understand me, but not always. I find I best use the exact LR recommended voice commands. I often have to repeat. I think it learns however as commands I often use, it seems to understand OK, but new commands, what a struggle. Also exasperation, yelling...

    Replacing DMTL pump on LR3

    be happy Your situation is better than my usual attempts - you have the new part still in the box and the problem resolved. For me, usually with great difficulty, time, and effort, the parts eventually get installed and I still have the problem - actually maybe more problems. I really am a...

    Replacing DMTL pump on LR3

    Super extended height perhaps? Is the DMTL located sort of in front of the spare tyre and kind of above the rear differential? I think it is so no wonder it is impossible to remove. Towards the bottom of the link below, there is one file in particular that has good diagrams of the DMTL...

    Rear Tailgate Latch

    link to manual latch release mod Thanks for posting and please keep us informed of your progress. I recently had to replace the cable puller as I will call it. This time the cable was OK, but instead the puller had just got tired. The part number is FUG500010 and LR calls it an actuator. The...

    Thinking LR3...am I crazy

    regardless of year, it is a hundred thousand dollar vehicle when fixing I noted the comment above referencing the cost of a head light bulb. Here in Western Canada, a new LR4 Lux runs near a hundred thousand dollars - yes, sounds crazy but that is what they go for. Used, my 2005 is...

    AC went out!

    may be just low on refrigerant The easy suggestion is just that your system is low on refrigerant and needs a top up charge. Pretty much every spring, I top up my system - not too much leaks out over the previous year but it always takes a pound or so. The link below is to a number of...

    Air Suspension Help needed.

    Tedious, but the way. Congratulations and thanks for the update. What you did was about the only way to find a problem - check each conductor individually for continuity, but what a task. For what it is worth, while hidden under the insulation, wire breaks are most often from internal...

    Chasing one last foreign sound...

    Skid plate sounds about right. I might note that you can purchase about five far east sourced wheel bearing assemblies for the price of one genuine LR part number LR014147 so it really comes down to the cost of labour. If your are adventurous, consider the Timken HA500601 product; you can...

    Thinking LR3...am I crazy

    Crazy - probably! You do not purchase a Land Rover primarily to go to the grocery store; well actually the first owner probably did, but that is not you I would think. About all I can say is that a 3 is not a Jeep or a Toyota or .... but then Royalty and Big Guys do not prance about in much...

    Is this the old style or new hitch receiver?

    harness more important than the hitch I mention the harness as I regard it as being of more significance than the hitch. I say that because once installed, the harness is there all the time and can affect operation of the vehicle regardless of if a trailer/hitch is attached or not. In...

    What is this plug?

    Transportation from the factory related. The factory plugs some sort of transport module into that connector that the dealer later removes and throws away prior to new vehicle delivery. The transport module is something that keeps the vehicle in low power mode and also inhibits operation of...

    Is this the old style or new hitch receiver?

    Two piece harness set install. I presume that you do not have the two piece electrical harness set for plugging in the wiring? If not, while others disagree, that is one item I would be purchasing the factory set up. The primary reason I say that is that the 3 suffers from so many tail...

    ...anyone have to change their oil pan yet?

    made for LR3 I suppose the problem with saying a particular Quick Drain model applies to the LR3 is that one would have to cut a hole in the skid plate to accertain that the skid plate and drain could not contact each other. As such, that requirement precludes one listing a suitable drain...

    ...anyone have to change their oil pan yet?

    Quick Drain This is a link to a site that offers what they call a "quick drain". I have something like it on on the pan of my Lycoming O-320 aircraft engine for years now. I note under the British Cars section, while they cover some Land Rovers, a valve for our 4.4 AJV8 engine does not see...

    Is this the old style or new hitch receiver?

    Hitch data - the long and short of it. Below is a link to some material I have regarding hitches for the 3. As with all things Land Rover, there is more involved in purchasing the long type that one might think as they have been subject to an upgrade related to the locking mechanism. Per...

    ...anyone have to change their oil pan yet?

    The term might be Lift! In the UK, below is step one for most repairs. It is probably less time consuming than one might think. The 3 is designed for this routine and it is not as difficult as it might appear.

    65K miles, what services do you recommend?

    LR oil if you have the E diff, suggests me. I always use the official LR fluids but that is because I do not know much about oil, let alone why it is that all things Land Rover tend to be a bit different. I think enough of the guys use Royal Purple products in their 3's that by now we would...

    65K miles, what services do you recommend?

    Consider the breather mod as well re front diff. Changing oil in both the front and rear differentials is a good idea. If you do not have the rear E diff, they both take the same oil - and not much of it either which is why changing oil makes sense. You might consider replacing the front...
