#4432 of 4512 Re: Problems with LR3 [ssp1] by gsapnar Apr 20, 2008 (6:05 pm)
Replying to: ssp1 (Apr 18, 2008 8:12 am) The car started up again and drove ok. When I took it in to get checked they said it needed updated software for the transmission. That was it. No we're sorry. We'll take care of the damage.   As far as your trip.. I had never had this problem before and I think it 's rare that it happens. But the guy at Service has seen it before. He wasn't surprised by it. In fact he asked me what warning came up after that?   I'm trying to find other owners who've have it happen to see if it's worth persuing. I really just don't want anyone to get hurt. We're very lucky no one was hurt. Replies to this message: ssp1 (Apr 21, 2008 9:07 am) dmelnik1 (Apr 21, 2008 9:13 am)

Replying to: gsapnar (Apr 20, 2008 6:05 pm) Im guessing that they are all trained not to take responsiblity beyond whats covered by the warranty. i would guess again that you have to sue them to show proximate cause. You may be sucessful because the car failed due to something covered by the warranty so there wouldnt be a dispute as to the failure of the vehicle.   a pain in the ass to do but its the only way i think you will get compensated for the loss. there may be an appeal process you can follow. i would suggest placing a formal written demand for payment of damages as a caused by the engine failure. the appeal procedures in your manual books may behelpful but this may be outside of that as well

#4435 of 4512 Blocking the sun from sunroofs by derrickh22 May 01, 2008 (2:42 pm)
I recently acquired a 2007 LR3. It is almost perfectly designed, except for a couple of little things. One is the sun roofs: the shade is simply not dark enough to block off the Florida sun. The car already gets extremely hot now; I can't imagine how bad it can be in the summer! I checked with car tinting shops, and they told me not to dark tint the sun roof glass because of glass breaking danger (which is true based on experts). Does anyboy know of any way I can block off the sun from directly shining into the cabin through the sunroofs? I would really appreciate any suggestions you mght have!

Replying to: derrickh22 (May 01, 2008 2:42 pm) The old discovery had the same type of shades. I did see someone install a new shade that was opaque on a 200 Discovery. I believe the work was done at California Rover in Encinitas. You can at least ask them where they got the parts to do so (and i believe they came from the east coast) and if something for LR3 is available aftermarket   However I would imagine the car at 135 degrees doesnt feel much cooler than 165 degrees
#4437 of 4512 My 2006 LR3 by mark156 May 26, 2008 (5:46 pm)
I agree with you about the perforated sun screens. I wish that Land Rover would have made them solid. As a quick fix, just on those days when the sun is shining directly over the LR, I thought about just slipping a piece of computer paper between the shade and the glass just to keep the rays out.   Mark

Anyone interested in a tow hitch for the LR3? I just turned my lease in, and would like to sell it. Replies to this message: steve_ (May 30, 2008 8:05 am) catero (Jul 16, 2008 3:38 pm) narbpd510 (Oct 03, 2008 12:03 pm)

Replying to: derrickh22 (May 01, 2008 2:42 pm) I believe there is also a spray on tint you could use. But that still leaves you with the breaking problem. You could also find a custom shop that will take off the perforated ones and put in solid shades. But it's $$. Another option is to get some thin cloth that matches your interior (Not Black or it will build up heat), and 3M spray on adhesive (The kind used to re-attach headliners like I had to do on my old 96 Disco) and cut the cloth and spray the glue on the cloth and attach it to the blind while it is shut. I did this on my Disco when I lived in Jacksonville, FL and it worked fine. Even retracted OK since it wasn't that much thicker. And it is easy to peel off later if you want to trade, Just make sure you spray the cloth, not the blindm and wait for he glue to be tacky before you put it up. Now I live in Seattle, and have since traded the old girl for an 05 LR3 so it's no longer a problem. Hope this helps.
#4441 of 4512 Bluetooth by discoman Jun 23, 2008 (12:58 pm)
Does anyone know if I can gt the bluetooth added to my 2005 LR3? I have the navigation Package and was wondering if anyone has had it done afterwards Replies to this message: dmelnik1 (Jun 24, 2008 3:57 am) discoman (Jun 24, 2008 2:15 pm) dmelnik1 (Jun 25, 2008 3:49 am)
