2005 LR3. Any good ideas for a snow tire (tyre)? We live in a snowy, mountainous, hilly, rugged, dirt road location. Must be studded but would be curious about non studded opinions. Previously, I've used Nokian Hakkapeliittas with the eco studs. Worked great. Didn't last. Actually, none of...

I have an 05 approaching the end of the warranty period. I recently asked the dealership to make sure the vehicle had the latest firmware/software upgrades for all the computer controlled wizardry. The dealership refused, saying that Land Rover will not let them download the updates unless the...

91 Range Rover Classic. Passenger (right) side electric seats failed today. Went hunting for the fuses. The Haynes manual doesn't say and the owners manual says under the left hand seat. Pulled those panels, found one bank of relays and a 5, 5, and 20 W fuse there that did not control the...

Anybody have experience/advice on tire chains on an LR3? I run them when needed on my Discovery and Range Rover, but have been reluctant to approach that much more complicated wheel well of the LR3 with them. Thoughts?

We have a 05 LR3. We live on a challenging class IV road. Over all, the LR3 has been great. However, there seems to be one major weakness: you cannot spin the tires when you need to to dig to traction while climbing a snow packed hill. Last week (winter comes early here) I had another...

95 D1. Stock radio and CD player. It appears that I am periodically losing power to the CD player unit. When I switch to CD, about 10% of the time it just blinks and eventual says NO or something like that. I conclude that there is no juice to the player because the CD cassette will not...

2005 LR3. I have the stock Goodyears for summer tires on them which are quiet on road and hopeless about everywhere else. We run studded Nokian Hawks during snow/mud season so I am really looking for a summer tire. We live in Vermont on a class 4 road, so some bite to the tire would be nice...

95 Disco I. Over the past year, the transfer case shift lever has gotten harder and harder to shift back and forth. Now I have to be Popeye just to get it in and out of gear. Is there a way to lube this; or what else is going on? Thanks.

We recently added a 2005 LR3 to the household. We live in snow country and I have previously fitted Nokian Hawks on NATO steel wheels for the winter and left the summer tires on the factory alloys on our Disco I and Rangie Classic. This makes for an easy DIY changeover and allows you to thrash...

91 Range Rover Classic. Here is a puzzler but I'm zeroing in on it. For months we have had an erratic rough running -- always at about 1800 rpm. Idles fine. Frustratingly, it is intermittent. Would be fine for weeks and then appear and disappear several times a day. Replaced the TPS. Have...

I'm having this problem with both my 95 Disco I and my 91 RRC. Over the winter, one by one, the doors began sticking shut. They are not frozen shut. If you pull on the outside handle 6 to 16 times, they will eventually open. Something is obviously not "catching" or something right away...

95 Disco I. The power steering pump has been making a rattling noise for a week. Yesterday it starting belching fluid from the pump outlet on the "pump to box" pipe. I tightened the hose and the leak held -- for about 30 minutes. I notice now that the leaking is not coming from the hose...

I need some basic info on this one. I have never had to tackle the brakes on this vehicle (91 RRC) so I don't know much about it. But I guess I will soon find out because today I just lost almost all brake pressure. Over the last few days a shuddering noise had been coming from the brakes at...

91 Range Rover Classic. The car has a pronounced hesitation at 1800 RPM and 2300 RPM under throttle. The idle seems fine. The car does not stall. I checked for a vacuum leak or loose electrical. It happens when the car is cold, still happens when the car has warmed up and but goes away...

95 Disco I. What has been an occasional drop of coolant has now become a stream. My Disco I is leaking coolant from somewhere in the intake manifold area. The leak is visible right under the throttle/cruisecontrol assembly right over the left valve cover. I can't tell exactly where. The...

I bought my 95 Disco I used and the previous owner had put 245/75/16s on them. Although I liked the way it looked, I didn't like the occasional rubbing on the fenders. So because those tires had worn out, I just put stock 235/70/16s on....forgetting that the spare is a 245/75/16. So am I...

I am considering putting the genuine block heaters into my 91 Range Rover and my 95 Disco. I know from considering the heater plugs that they go into the "freeze plug." My question: where are these and how would I recognize it? And does anyone have any advice/warnings about this proposal. I...

Over time, gasoline spills have clouded the wax/finish underneath the fuel filler door on my wife's 91 Range Rover. Any ideas on how to fix this? I tried rewaxing but improvement was negligible. I am one who washes my Disco "once a year, whether it needs it or not" so all the exterior finish...

I have a 95 Disco I. About two weeks ago, I was idling with the AC on and suddenly the car began running rough. Sure enough, the "check engine" light came on. The problem did go away although the car ran somewhat rough all day. I took a look at the code and it says: "48" -- the stepper...
