    LR3 check brake pad warning

    I have 15k on my current brake pads, mostly highway, and the brake warning light is coming on saying check brake pads. It's been a while since that light has gone off for me, but I don't remember it acting like this and I am guessing the problem is not actually the brake pads. The light comes...

    LR3 suspension fault normal mode only

    So my 06 LR3 is getting a "suspension fault normal mode only" error. The suspension raises up, I got a few miles down the road, then get the error. 4x4 screen isn't telling me anything. When it first started it would only happen on the initial "drive", if I stopped to get a snack, and...

    forgot to update, I haven't driven much but so far it is looking like the grease on the steering limit worked. fingers crossed.

    grinding noise when turning right

    Last week my 06 LR3 started making a pronounced grinding noise when doing sharp turns. Usually it was in a parking lot pulling into a space, turning left doesn't seem to be an issue. Any ideas? Also, not sure if this is a thing or just my mind playing tricks on me, but I feel like there...

    LR3 tires

    that's where I am curious, it's going to be almost all on road (just not much cool off road in my area). So is this quiet and comfy for AT tires or generally quiet and comfy?

    LR3 tires

    I'll have to look those up, since posting I did a lot of tirerack review searching and so far Yokohama Geoland HT, Cooper Discoverer AT3, and Firestone Destination AT2 all show up with good ratings.

    LR3 tires

    OK, lets play nice. :} Anyways I know that tires cause a lot of arguments here, but I need new ones. Mostly I don't get to do much off road fun, so I would really like tires that do well around town, and on long road trips, but can also go out on some moderate off road trails as well...

    LR3 yellow brake light

    just occurred to me that I should probably update this in case anyone else runs into this: bad part from the store, replaced it again, and it worked with no issues.

    Barry Bonds' Beautiful Defender

    not being from the coast I probably didn't get the same press that you guys did, but I always wondered if he was generally a jerk or if it was just towards the press so the press made him out to look bad.

    LR3 yellow brake light

    message center just says to check the brake pads. At this point I am guessing I may have a defective sensor. Out of town though and haven't had a chance to investigate.

    LR3 yellow brake light

    I did replace the brake pads and sensor. I guess the new sensor could be bad? Does anyone know if that yellow brake light on the dash is for more than just brake pad wear?

    LR3 yellow brake light

    So my LR3 has a yellow brake light going off, I replaced the brake pads and sensors, but the light is still on. The owners manual says that light is only for brake pads, I don't remember anything I need to reset. Is that light just for brake pads low?

    Barry Bonds' Beautiful Defender

    Dude I would love to be able to get interested in a new hobby and then just go out and spend 80k on it. Honestly I don't mean that in a snarky way either, I would just love to be able to do it.

    LR3 Purchase Advice

    If the LR3 is at a used car lot, you could go there after close on a Saturday and measure mid-wheel to fender on all four tires, then come back sunday night and measure again. Most lots are closed on Sunday, so you would be able to tell if the shocks went down over that 24 hour period...

    Missed out on an LR3, now I have the bug. LR3 vs. LR4

    I don't have much to say on the LR3 vs LR4 front, but I have had an LR3 for 6 years now and I love the thing. Make sure you have a maintenance history on anything you purchase and you will be good to go. It's a great platform.
