    LR3 not accelerating properly....

    It would be a step towards understanding whether your LR3 has an issue, or if this is a trait of the LR3 you don't like.

    Thinking about going in to the mud, for the first time!

    Thanks! I prob won't head out until November. I have a friend moving down from Seattle and he wants in :) We are going to stick the girls in his truck as the back up team!

    Thinking about going in to the mud, for the first time!

    I really want to get out on to a trail, I have never done anything like this before. I don't count my snow experience or sand experience. What should I be taking with me? I have a couple of 2x20 recovery straps and 2x Warner 3/4" shackles. But those won't be much help on their own...

    I have 2x Warner 3/4" shackles and 2x20ft recovery straps! Am I going to have to venture out on my own? If so, what should I be packing?

    Portland, Oregon - newbie

    Hi there. I have a "new to me" 2007 LR3 HSE. In a previous life it was owned by a Beverly Hills soccer mom.... I figured now I have this awesome LR3, I should try and do a little off roading with it. I have no gear and no idea, so here is the question: Any one around here feel like...

    The most uncomfortable SUV ever?

    What wheels/ tires did you have? I think the LR3 rides really firm, but I like that.

    Battery voltages

    Last update. The plot thickens. I picked up Eleanor (my LR3!) today. She had her bushings and ball joints done ($1160). On the way home, I called up the 753 screen and the voltage was solid at 13.5. I give up! I will keep plodding along and worry about other things like my compressor!

    Battery voltages

    All thread starts need an end :) Just got back from the local independent dealer, they said the battery and alternator were fine. When I was driving home, the voltage as displayed by the 753 screen hack showed 13v and with the engine off it was 12.5v. I don't feel great, but they insist not...

    Ants in the cab

    Get some Terro ant traps and put a few of in places you have seen the ants in the car, after a week there will be no more ants. Make sure you leave the traps there for a while up to 3 months The pricipal is they capture the scout ants so the rest never find out if there are delicious goodies in...

    Battery voltages

    Thanks! I have the LR3 booked in for 1pm at the the local independent LR specialist, lets see if they identify this as part of their inspection service. I presume a new alternator will be about $400 fitted, please let me know if I should prepare for something more $$$ :)

    Battery voltages

    UPDATE: I checked the battery, it is an interstate :) So I drove to the local store and they did a battery test, all checked out fine...12.45v, 989CCA BUT they detected a diode short :( Does this mean a new alternator???? Thanks for reading :)

    Battery voltages

    Thanks for the responses. Looks like I am on the right track. Is it worth investing in a charger? The LR3 is our second car and will only be used a couple of days a week. I will definitely switch out the battery, it is one of those things I do whenever I buy a used car! I can see a...

    Battery voltages

    Hi, totally new to the LR3 world, but already I understand the importance of a good battery or two. I took delivery of a 07 HSE 2 days ago and the HK radio would not go past 20 and I got the low battery sign :(. Thanks to google and this forum, I found the 735 hack and I could see the...

    Hello there, I am a new LR3 owner :). I picked up my 07 HSE with 53k miles 2 days ago. So far so good, new tyres, oil change, full exterior detail (done myself). Booked in for some minor work on Monday. Door seal, code scan, low voltage on the battery 11.5v . . . This forum was an amazing...
