Living up to its unreliable history
Maybe the windshield was replaced and someone did not replace the clips on the outside A pillar piece - which SHOULD be done or they may eventually fail like they did. They probably did not secure the wipers properly when done either, so my guess is that it is all one related problem and not... -
Gearbox Fault
I replaced my entire gear selector cable on my LR3, but I did not have to replace the bushings on the shifter linkage attached to the transmission itelf. Having been down there, it seemed like a fairly simple piece and thus, a farily simple repair. The only shot I got was blurry, but my finger... -

LR3 Smokes only at startup?!
My random guess is that fuel is making its way into the combustion chamber of 1 or more cyliders casuing an temporary rich fuel/air mixture at startup. I would think something is either sticking or slightly worn, allowing fuel to enter, which would be why it is only at startup and ends almost... -

Air Compressor
I agree because when it is hyperlinked, I would assume the poster is linking to the site they purchased the item and/or the site with the best pricing.... Considering both of your auto-linked items are to Amazon, I would guess this is just another step in their quest to take over the world.... -

I don't know much of anything about BMW as they are not my cup of tea, but two of my neighbors have M5's or M6's and they both sound horrible to me. One guy does not know how to drive it and litterally drives up and down the street in 1st gear the whole way everyday - that's amusing and...- catman

LR5 Release Updates?
The "reveal" is happening in 2018, the actual release will be next year sometime. I was hoping for earlier (May) not "late next year". Although with global rollouts (like with the D5), production begins much earlier than when things actually hit the lots in the US, so we will have lots of UK...- catman

LR5 Release Updates?
Anyone see this slide? Automotive News Europe April 13, 2018 06:01 CET Jaguar Land Rover is under increasing pressure to reveal more about the redesigned Land Rover Defender, coming late next year. During the opening of JLR's new U.S. headquarters last month in Mahwah, New Jersey, the...- catman

Dim Center Instrument Display
Sorry, the first things that jumped out at me watching that video was the Russian language and the music. Those Russians love David Hasselhoff, he's like Michael Jackson over in Eastern Europe. -

The David Hasselhoff music really makes that video (jump to about 1 min in) -
LR4 Replacments...
Don't be fooled, the Chesapeake Bay is in poor condition - a lot of crabs up here are actually brought up from down south in places like Alabama, might as well get them fresh when down there! -
Dim Center Instrument Display
After a fall/winter detailing my LR3 radio screen went "light" for several months (ok at night, not so much in the day). It was not until it got really hot one day in Spring that it came back to normal. I presume it was due to the pressure of someone cleaning it. I am not sure if the center... -
255/55/19 Duratracs discontinued?
Looks like it was Dec 2016 when version 2 popped up on their site and then it went away again not too long thereafter. http://www.landroverworld.org/posts/172065/ -
Engine Noise 2006 LR3 HSE
My 2008 with 154,000 miles sounds just like those sound bites - I noticed the "ticking" (if you want to call it that) caught my ear as soon as the weather warmed up this Spring. I wondered the same thing, if it was a new sound or if I was just hearing it differently but it has always been there... -
255/55/19 Duratracs discontinued?
The 255-55-19 was definately on their site two times with different SKU's and then gone again. I think if and when they decide to run another batch, they will put it back on their site while it is avaialble from distributors, and then once they are all sold, they will reomve it again. Then you... -
LR4 Replacments...
I drove an Atlas V6 (they did not have the 2.0 turbo) back in Janurary and it is not in the same league as the LR3/LR4. But, it was decent for the price point. I did not find the drive to be particularly engaging and none of the drive "modes" they have felt any different to me dispite the...
