Default 2006 LR3 Tools needed

I am looking at a 2006 LR3 with 55000 miles. I was wondering how many special tools I will need to work on it. To do brake work ECT ECT. Is there a tool kit available online with everything I will need. Can I turn the brake change warning light off myself or check engine light and other warnings or does the dealer have to do it? Can I work on it and then have dealer turn lights off after how much will they charge? Any help on performing your own work would be great. Thanks

I do not believe many special tools are required, other than the obvious. I assume you have some experience. Most everything is metric, so you would need the basic set of metric stuff. Other things like hub pullers, etc. are pretty standard. Certainly there are some specialized tools, depending on the job, but some or most times you can make due with the generic equivalent.

Some places, like PEP boys, etc. rent tools, and some Land Rover groups, have Tech days, which can put you in an indy shop, with some like minded folks for small jobs, learning, etc.. Consider going to some LR events, etc. where you can get to know people, indy shops and sellers, as well as other owners, etc. Bodsy Brake Bible is pretty thorough for brake work.

Consider some of those thoughts and options
