Frustrated Past Believe

[gmoney]

Need some advise PLEASE…I am at my wits end.

I dint know if it is the car, 2005 LR3 32,000 miles or the service people.
They don’t seem to be able to correct anything that is wrong or they can’t find issues that I am having or things I am hearing…

Example over the last four months they have replaced the suspension compressor three times. After that many times maybe they should look elsewhere for another issue that is causing that to happen…never off road.

This is just one of the issues, getting transmission faults, cant fix the rear lid from banging, cant hear or fix the bumping in the front end,.
Very frustrating.

Opinion, is this the car, the dealer what…

Its the dealer. The thigns you have been mentioned have been discussed on all the forums countless times, often with TSB numbers associated with them. Take the ball and run with it. Do your homework, get the TSB numbers, print out the threads, bring it to the dealer and educate them. Pain in the ass, yes! But if your dealer sucks, what are you going to do?

Another suggestion is to take it off road. Your LR3 is clearly unhappy. Treat to some quality time in the dirt. That always made my LR3 much happier. It would run better, smoother, and just more zen like after a good trail run. Seriously!

Woods, I was gonna tell this poster the SAME THING!

The LR3 is like a dog; if you don't take it offroad now and then, it becomes like a dog that never gets taken for a walk. Treat it right!

I think its therapy for them. Seems like the harder I use it the happier it is.

I have found that a helpful and knowledgeable dealer will increase your LR enjoyment 1000%. If you are trying to correct issues that are known tsb's, common issues, and your dealer isn't aware of them - find a new dealer.
