    First road trip with LR3

    Good question... Initially I was playing a bit in a snowy parking lot at low speed, and I got the computers to do some work, this was the first time I could actually test that it all worked! When actually driving, the couple of small slips were so short that the computers did not do anything...

    First road trip with LR3

    I finally got all the pre-existing conditions sorted on the LR3 and we took a nice trip. There was 6 of us, a dog and a 11month old baby spread across a LR3 and an 07 Expedition. Both cars were fully loaded and had ski hitches attached. We started in Portland and went to Mt hood for 4...

    The Best LR3 All Season/Terrain Tire Thread of 2013

    I put a new set of duellers onion oct. went up mountain yesterday, the roads were icy and they did really well. They ride firm, but they are quiet and grippy. I like the extensive siping in the tread, probably explains the great traction and breaking on the ice.

    Brake light switch fixed my problems

    My wife drove the LR3 today in cold (for Portland!) temps. It is about 32F outside, she got 5 miles and had all the dash lights come on. Suspension fault, HDC, orange park light... I told her not worry and just head home, I changed the brake light switch (2 min job) and all is well... As...

    Battery voltages

    Thanks Mike, that is what I thought.... What can I do about this? Should the garage change it out?

    Battery voltages

    Battery voltages

    What a day! The AAA guy could not get the LR3 started. The guy had it hooked up to his truck, let the battery take charge for 10mins. The crank sounded good, but the engine would not fire up.... so they loaded her up in a flatbed and towed her to my chosen garage. Question: is there any risk...

    Battery voltages

    Sounds reasonable to me - but I am a newbie to the LR3. My LR3 was dead this morning. I don't have a trickle charger or jump cables.... AAA are coming out to try and get me started. Local independent LR garage is on standby! What a day!

    Battery voltages

    So, the plot thickens.... Today, after about 5-7 days of not being used I took the LR3 for a short spin. The battery light came on. Temps in portland the last week have been lows of high 40s and highs of mid 60s, so not crazy temps. I pulled up the 753 screen and I was at 10.5v with the engine...
