    E-brake malfunction

    I had the amber brake light come on in my '05. Had a brake pad that broke lose and it was hitting the sensor. Trip to the dealer got it fixed. I was also told that when the brake pads wear down that light will come on as well. Winslow

    Passive Keyless Entry

    It is like the Auto Headlights and Wipers on my LR3. I thought who would ever use this, now I miss them when I take my other car to work. Winslow

    A living, breathing, ...dieing... example of socialism at work.

    Yes but it helps that the 3 states we border have tighter liquor controls than we do. Also we have state run stores all over the state, not just in border towns. We even have them off I-95 and I-93 at rest areas so you can stock up on your way to Maine, the Mountains, back home or where ever...

    Rovertym Announces LR3 Front Bumper!

    I like the design, and would put one on my LR3. I would like to see it though without the wrap around bar and just a light bar in front tabs for 4 lights. Also I was wondering about the fog light access for repairs or light replacements. Winslow

    Fault Codes

    Yeah I picked one up from them that will read codes, give some basic engine and emissions data and allow me to clear codes to see if they come back. I think I payed $65-70 for one. Worth the money while I was tracking an emissions fault. Winslow

    OK, Need some advice

    I agree with Jwest, that is what I did was pick up a CPO LR3, best option available. Also brakes and rotors? When the brakes need changing you get a yellow brake light on the dash. I had mine go at about 48K and got them replaced at far less money than your being quoted. Also on tires, the...

    Accessories are Crazy Expensive

    Some of the accessories are designed for multiple vehicles, trailer hitch, LR3 and RRS (possibly RR). The wiring harness basically plugs into the vehicles wiring, designed to work after a quick connection. I have seen a few butcher jobs on D1?s where U-Hall tried to install a trailer wire...

    oil change

    The oil type and weight is dependent on where you live and how you drive. 5W30 should be fine for an LR3, unless your going north a lot in the winter or doing what would be considered severe driving, 0W40 might be a bit much. I live in NH run 5W30 in the LR3 and 15W40 in my Discovery. Winslow

    What is LNRA32CON?

    If this unit is faulty could it cause some lights to work on the back of the rover and others not to? Winslow

    Climbing a snow packed hill

    In sport shift mode, you can start in 2nd gear in High Range. Not sure what it allows in Low Range. I have found that in most cases I just leave the vehicle in normal mode and just drive. Because BMW helped design the DSC I usually shut it off in the winter as it is a major pain in the ass to...

    How safe are Discos in accidents, compared with other SUVs? What stories do you have?

    Re: How safe are Discos in accidents, compared with other SUVs? What stories do you have? I hit a tree pretty hard off road (slipped off a rock while coming down over a rock wall). Bashed in my front bumper and hood pretty good. No other damage, truck stalled, hazards went on...etc. Shut it...

    CHARGED!? He should get a medal!

    It is a prank when you do it once. These boys did it a couple times. Winslow

    CHARGED!? He should get a medal!

    So what your saying is, because the sign was free it is not considered property, so the guy had no right to defend it? And since the two boys were not damaging property they shouldn't be charged for vandalism and trespassing? I mean if the guy who thought he was protecting his property is...

    Starter question...

    Did a search, and confirmed my problem with my starter this weekend. (Hit out on a trail miles from the nearest road.) Turn the key, plenty of power, lights on the dash, and a spinning/whirling noise coming from the starter, but the engine will not turn over. After doing the normal things...

    ignition for 97 disco 1

    I usually get this on Victoria when I am out in the woods. Another way to free the cylinder is to rapidly move the steering wheel back and forth. Make sure the key is out of the ignition. With the wheel locked, every time it hits it vibrates the steering column. After about 30 seconds of...

    im looking for your imput on a new car

    Go with a Used RR or LR3. You can get them certified used car status or whatever LRNA calls them. Get the warrenty out to 75K or 6 years. Then if you need to get work done your covered. If you don't like it having that extra warrenty helps at trade in time. Winslow
