Replying to: dandrews1 (Oct 30, 2006 11:02 am) I also suggest sending the children inside or at least out of ear shot. The dealer cleaned the lock with WD 40. I am sure that the dust will gum it up even worse. I don't know why Land Rover does not just use a latch pin. You could get a locking one if you were really worried that any one who could afford to pay for a Land Rover would try it to steal it.

I just got my '06 LR3 as I was "browsing" underneath I noticed two cast iron weights, one next to each tail pipe. They are mounted on a rubber bushing and can swing back and forth a little. Does anyone know what they are for?? I t would seem odd to be adding dead weight to an already overweight vehichle!!

Replying to: barracloug (Dec 16, 2007 1:48 pm) I posted almost this exact question about a year ago just after I got mine   The response I got was that they are vibration dampers - keeps the vehicle from shimmying...   I guess that's a good enough answer for me...?
