    LR3 Reliability

    Splices, ha, I don't think there was one original wire left in the section of Canbus wires that run through the drivers side rear wheel well by the time I sold my LR3. Why anyone would design a vehicle with such important wiring exposed to the elements, especially road salt here in Canada...

    07' LR3 vehicle fault message

    I had some of those codes before, lost comm with inst cluster. My issue was the Canbus wires running through the drivers side rear wheel arch. Since I added the Land Rover extra sleeve last summer, this winter the salt didn't get to those wires.

    2008 LR3 with codes: P0441 & p0420

    I have the cat efficiency codes come up every winter. I even replaced one cat last summer. Once spring arrives, the CEL light and the codes go away. I think up here in Canada it has something to do with the additives in the winter gas and the ethanol content making the truck run richer. The...

    2008 LR3 with codes: P0441 & p0420

    I get codes for both banks on a regular basis. I did replace one cat with an aftermarket unit last summer but still get the CEL. Like you, it stays on for a few cycles and goes off. Seems more in winter than summer. I put it down to the fact LR engines run a bit rich and ethanol/winter gas. I...

    1995 Range Rover P38-$4000 obo

    Any chance you are parked near a hydro substation? The person I sold my P38 to started having battery drain issues. She was parked close to a hydro station and the radio antennas kept coming n and off, waking up the BECM constantly during the night. We disconnected the antennas and her problems...

    Always Get The Wierd Issues

    Dropped the LR3 off to the shop for an oil change yesterday. I get a call from my friend who runs the shop, "have you been having any problems with the climate control, alarm, etc". Nope, it's been running very well. They did the oil change, hooked up the Autologic to reset the service reminder...

    Complete new assemblies. I've used Arnott's in P38's and they have been great. Like everything else, quality control is dropping.

    Well, I think it's finally fixed. Because it was still dropping slightly on the front left after replacing the bags and valve block, we assumed the line has a small leak. I replaced it, still went down a small bit then after a day of driving, suspension light, slow to 35kph, drop to bumpstops...

    I pretty much ran my P38 with the compressor and valve block disconnected and topped up with the valves setup from Carol Rovers every week or so. However, it looks like I need to order an airline and hopefully, I'll be good. I'd switch to coils but I like the self leveling when pulling my trailer.

    So an update. Started checking things, the front bags were leaking, year old Arnotts. Replaced them, still the front was dropping. Did a calibration, no difference. Swapped out the valve block, that night the whole truck dropped like it was auto levelling. Next night, pulled fuse three and left...

    If it sits for a couple days, it does drop more. It's pretty much the whole truck, not just one corner. But front does drop more than rear. When I first bought it I did have the front left corner drop. Once I replaced the front bags with Arnott's that initial problem went away.

    Left a door open two nights in a row. It appears front drops about an 1" or so, back does drop about 1/2". So, maybe not the front valve block again.

    Thanks, I was leaning towards the valve block as well. I have the updated compressor. I haven't had any codes, the compressor just comes on way more than it used to.

    When I bought my LR3 the front left dropped overnight. Replaced the front bags, all was fine. After a time, both sides of the front dropped. Replaced the valve block, all was fine. Now a few months late, front dropping again, compressor comes on just about everytime I start the truck. Some...

    Another Canbus Issue?

    I will have to look closer, I haven't noticed any before. I do have the P0420 code and have just purchased the passenger side cat pipe to replace.

    Another Canbus Issue?

    It was a broken rear brake pad sensor wire. Replaced it yesterday. Thanks! Had a very bizarre situation Sunday evening though. It was -25C and windy here, went to start the truck and it took a bit of extra cranking and started a bit rough. Went to drive away and had no power, about as much as...

    Another Canbus Issue?

    That would be nice. I'll get them checked. We've had a lot of salt on the roads this winter so they could be damaged from that. I did replace the rear calipers and brake pads in December. I don't think the sensors were replaced.
