Canada 2005 LR3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Tonga GreenLR3
My First Rover

Just took ownership of a 2005 Land Rover LR3 4.4 V8 SE and comes fully loaded minus nav.



Just finished giving her a clay war and wax last night. Going to clean the leather and give the black trim a refreshing today which is in decent condition just dirty or dried out. And I picked up around $600 in misc stuff to fix her up to replace broken/missing parts. So far I have been loving the LR3, in the past I have only owned Honda's and Nissan but I don't think I will ever not want a Rover in my life.

Upgrades, I am doing before winter is in full swing

- Refreshed front grill / side grill
- New front Land Rover lettering
- iPad Mini (with 3G/GPS) dash install
- IIDTool

Broken Things
- Front suspension wont lower unless moving (sensors?)
- Battery (Was getting transmission and HDC errors on start, replaced battery)
