    Drivers side front half axle replacement

    Thanks for the reply. I am trying to sort out if the drivers side is harder to do than the right side. I cut the end off the breather tube when I did the passenger side. I put more fluid in it recently and would like to put it off till spring. The lr3 is my winter driver and I am afraid...

    Drivers side front half axle replacement

    Is it possible to use a slide hammer with the c collar gizmo I bought and used on the passenger side. I now have a leak on the left side. If there is no room or ability to use the slide hammer to remove the half axle what is the way to accomplish this ? As always thanks for all comments.

    Air struts for lr3

    Thanks for your reply. When I installed the rear air struts I removed the air line directly from the shock without any depressurization at the block or with a gap tool. This led to the strut moving some once the air line was loosened. To access the line the lower bolt was removed and the...

    Air struts for lr3

    I replaced the rear air struts a few weeks ago without depressurizing the system. Perhaps this was foolish. The shock did move some. I ordered from lucky 8. Not sure what brand they offer. Any comments on the front and what to do there.

    Air struts for lr3

    when replacing front air struts on lr 3 is it necessary to remove the plastic wheel well cladding to have room to remove the air hose? Do you have to go from under the hood to get the back upper bolt loose? should I depressurize the system by loosening air hose fitting at the block or is okay...

    Air struts for lr3

    Anyone care to comment on brands that are good or to avoid. Some less expensive ones out there I’m cheap by nature. Is it okay to go cheap ?

    Cel on v8 lr3 with codes p0420 and p0116

    Thanks for the replies. The battery is good. I don’t hear with my untrained ear any exhaust leak or rattle. The exhaust does not have any odor or black smoke. The cel has not come back on. Is there a place for doing anything now ?

    Cel on v8 lr3 with codes p0420 and p0116

    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping the expert response would be to replace oxygen sensors and all will be good. I used my code reader to erase and therefore turn the light off. There is plenty of coolant in the reservoir. Now I will drive and see how long till cel comes back on. Any...

    Cel on v8 lr3 with codes p0420 and p0116

    Hoping for a plan to resolve check engine light on lr3 with codes of p0420 and p0116. No issues with driving but light just came on. No exhaust odors or noises from exhaust. Around 150k on the odometer. I am original owner. I have not changed oxygen sensors or coolant sensors. Where to...

    No heat from drivers side on discovery 5

    Anyone care to comment on the fix for no heat from drivers vents but great heat from passenger side on a 2017 Discovery. Is this a common problem with a well known solution? Doesn’t seem to resolve on its own. Maybe someone has had this before and can share their experience. Maybe a...
