    12' Supercharged RRS engine rattle/knock

    So my wife's 12' supercharged RRS is making a slight knocking/rattle sound that seems to be coming from the front of the engine. It doesn't have that exhaust leak ticking noise but more of a rattle/knocking sound. I tried searching but didn't find anything pertaining to this.

    Reliability of LR3 4.4L vs LR4 5.0L V8?

    I have a 07' LR3 HSE with the 4.4L V8 and it has been very reliable. How does the 5.0L V8 compare to it in terms of reliability? Possible going to go look at a 2011 LR4 but not sure if that engine is going to be as reliable as the 4.4L V8. Thoughts?

    Thoughts on 08' BMW X5 4.8i?

    We have a 07' LR3 HSE and we're thinking of buying another vehicle. I have been looking at BMW X5's online. I've been looking at the 4.8 V8's. Does anyone have any personal experience with these vehicles? It would be used for day to day driving so I'm not worried about off road performance. How...

    07' LR3 vehicle fault message

    So my 07' LR3 HSE started unlocking the doors while driving and displaying this on the radio screen. I decided to replace the battery since it was 5 years old and when tested it was weak. I also replaced the brake light switch. Thought the problem was solved because it was fine for a few days...

    Brake pads that work well when cold

    I need to replace the front pads and rotors on our 07' LR3 HSE. I've used ceramic pads on our old D2 and our Subaru Baja turbo and haven't been happy with them on the first stop of the day. We have a steep driveway and when backing down and you go to apply the brakes the vehicle doesn't stop...

    07' LR3 vs 10' LR4?

    A local car dealer has a 10' LR4 for sale. How would it compare to our 07' LR3 HSE? I really like our 07'. Would there a big difference in the 10' LR4? I know the engine is a 5.0L vs the 4.4L ours has. Are there more problems with that motor? I might go look at it just to see it in person.

    Anyone using 5w-40 oil?

    I know with our DII the owners manual stated a 5w-40 oil could be used. Is it alright to use a 5w-40 oil in a LR3 or should I stick with a 5w-30 oil?

    Best jack for LR3?

    We bought a 07' LR3 HSE and it doesn't have a jack in it. The manual shows a scissor jack. Our DII had a bottle jack. Is the factory scissor jack any good or is a bottle jack the way to go?

    ARB front bumper and park sensors

    Since we were involved in a minor accident and have to replace the front bumper I was thinking of replacing it with an ARB bumper. Does anyone know if you can modify it to accept the front park sensors? Also any pics of one installed?

    Corner of fan blade broken

    While I was changing the belts out on our 07' the wrench slipped when I was tightening the fan and I broke a corner off of one of the fan blades. The outer ring of the fan that ties all of the blades together is fine. Can I continue to drive it this way or will it cause problems?

    Plastic transmission pan/filter change?

    I purchased a transmission filter intending to change the filter and fluid. Has anyone done this using the plastic pan filter? I've read some write-ups using a metal replacement pan but nothing using the plastic one. Sounds like the plastic one is harder to install.

    255/55-19 Goodyear Duratrac speed rating question

    I'm looking at the Goodyear Dura Tracs and noticed they have a 111S rating which is up to 112 mph. The Cooper Zeon LTZ's I'm also looking at have a 111H rating which is up to 130 mph. Not that I would ever go that fast but will the lower speed rating of the Goodyear cause any handling...

    How to program BCM for towing?

    Is there a way besides the dealer to program the BCM for towing. I was informed once I added the hitch and wiring harness I would need to have the BCM reprogrammed so the rear park sensors and air springs would be re-calibrated for towing.

    Pentosin ATF1 fluid or ZF Lifeguard 6?

    I have a 07' LR3 HSE and came across some Pentosin ATF1 fluid that states it's compatible with Land Rovers. Is the Lifeguard 6 the fluid to use or is the Pentosin okay as well?
