Travel trailer towing - first experience
I tow basically what you just bought with the LR3. When you start getting into longer lengths The area that wind is blowing against the side of the trailer is huge. It starts to become the tail waging the dog pretty easily, since the wheel base of the Rover is pretty short. There isn’t much... -
Planning on swapping trans pan and fluid change...low profile torx recommendations?
I took the rear cross member off. It was simple to do and gave me much more room to work. Just have an extra jack stand to set the transfer case on. -
Putting LR4 Brakes on LR3
Almost all wheels are tapered in the inside. So larger diameter on the inner edge and smaller at the spoke side. LR 18” wheels have too much taper so the wheel won’t fit all the way on to the hub without hitting the caliper. You need the spacer so the wheel is setting further out allowing it to... -
Putting LR4 Brakes on LR3
LR4s in US all came with 19” or larger wheels. You cannot fit LR3 18” wheels over calipers the from an LR4 without spacers. You would also have to get new caliper carriers. Many LR4 owners are putting LR3 discs and calipers on to be able to put 18”s on. -
the true costs of running lift rods
This isn’t totally true. The iid tool will only allow you to adjust up a certain amount. Depending on your sensor calibration it may be as little as 10mm. What I have done is use adjustable rods then recalibrate the ride height down to the normal stock level. This keeps the cv joints straighter... -
Made the move from LRII to LRIII
Lots of your “faults” are not faults or due to your work already done without knowing what your doing. Check Brake pads - there are wear sensors on each wheel that need to be replaced when you replace pads Suspension fault - you took out the air suspension but didn’t reprogram the computer to... -
Electronics Issue
Your best bet to figuring this out and will probably pay for its self the first time you use it is to buy an iid tool from gap diagnostics. It will read all your fault codes and point you in the right direction if not tell you exactly what is wrong. The tool also does a number of other cool... -
2005 LR3 Key Fob Replacement or Battery
Just got 2 new keys $82 all in plus iid tool which I already had. $16 a piece for keys $25 per key to get cut. The hardest part is finding somewhere to get the keys cut. Had to go to 7 places before I had success. Not all Ace hardwares have the right equipment and the Ford dealer tried and... -
help locating the Bluetooth module hardware in the lr3
I believe it is built into the phone module, which is located behind the right rear trim panel above the wheel well. -
All Too Common Tire Post
I have the exo grappler in a 265/65/18. They are much more aggressive than the terra grappler. They are noisier but not bad. I have only about 1000 miles on the so I don’t know about longevity. The reason I bought them was about $300 in savings between the KO2 and the exo grappler, also the... -
lr3 suspension fault
This is more for others reading this for future swaps because you're already in the middle of the job. When replacing the original Hitachi compressor with the AMK you should order the complete kit. Part # LR061663 is what you need. The kit includes the hoses required to reroute the air lines it... -

5x120 Trailer Hubs! Where can I get them?
I didn't find hubs of brake drums in a 5x120 but 5x4.75 is 5x120.6 which does work. I ended up needing to make spacers for wheel clearance so I made5x4.75 to 5x120 spacers -
NO AIR TO FRONT SUSPENSION... Read On...
What brand of compressor did you put in? The AMK needs an ecu reflash. Your faults sound like you need a sensor height calibration done though. All of this can be done with the IID tool. -
Special Program Error, but goes away on Restart
Sorry, I'm a little late to this. Have you checked your compressor? I had very similar issues when mine was going bad. If the compressor isn't running you will get these faults. On the IID tool check the gallery pressure while the truck is running it should be over 1500 kPa. -

LR5 Release Updates?
The oem snorkel wasn't watertight anyway so the fording depth didn't increase. They were made to suck cleaner air in dusty conditions.- jaamrode

LR5 Release Updates?
I can do build with the new discovery HSE with 7 seats and a hi/low transfer case and air suspension for an MSRP of $59100. So what other options do do you think you need to spec out to make it comparable to the LR4 SE?- jaamrode

Bad suspension compressor
The faults are most likely due to the bad alignment. There is a steering position sensor that was telling the computer that the vehicle should be turning but the wheel speed sensors were telling the computer that it was going straight. Therefore, the computer says something is wrong and am going... -
LR5 Release Updates?
My concern with this video is they are using 1000 lbs tongue weight for a 4000 lb. trailer. Why are they not using the standard 10-15% tongue weight which would be 400-600 lbs. if they wanted to show the effects of a 1000 lb. tongue weight why not use a 10,000 lb. trailer?- jaamrode
