    Leaving the hood / bonnet open overnight for rats.

    LR3 alternator replacement cost

    A couple of weeks have passed and there is no change. I was drawn into panic for no reason by the look of it... I guess since we paid our LR3 off I have just been waiting for something to go wrong! It only has 71k miles on it though!
