Figured this was the best place to start. looking at an 06 LR3 fully loaded with 44k miles. currently own an 07 FJ and previously had an 02 Discovery. The discovery was my favorite vehicle but riddled with problems so the reason why i got rid of it. Been reading the reveiws on the 06 LR3 and they seem to be mixed. Am i getting into something that i'll regret at a later time? this is a 2 owner vehicle and planning to bring to a reputable import shop for a thorough check prior to pulling the trigger.

any insight from current LR3 owners would be appreciated.
thanks

 

bring it to the dealer. they can spot stuff easier and at the same time they can do any recalls needed.

 

How did this work out I'm in the same boat.... the differencial issue is a potential $4000 problem .....

 

you can change the diffs oil when you buy it.

 

I think that helps but doesn't prevent the delaminating process

 

No but it gets any particles that have come off out of the oil, instead of letting them run the the bearings for the next XXXX miles until they fail completely

 

Do we know what years this is common
