Daughter's LR3 dead in the driveway
So she went out to go to school today and her LR3 cranked right up. Except the emergency flashers were on and we could not get them to go off. The dash showed faults for parking brake, HDC, "tyres", and coolant level. The radio and nav were off. We could press the power button the radio and it would for a split second come on, then off.
So we turned the car off, and tried turning it on again, and this time nothing. No starter, nothing. I got out, locked it, unlocked, it, still no start. I'm still getting all those fault codes, too.
Any ideas before I have it towed? Seems like this unit is in the shop once a week. I'm growing weary.

Sorry you've had bad luck.
Experiences vary: Some have few issues, some have a lot.
I have done no more than routine maintenance, a front valve block cleaning, and a new battery - for the past 25k miles.
That puts me at almost 2 yrs of uninterrupted bliss. I am now at 150k and bought at 115k.
The first 10k miles had a few more issues, but nothing devastating to my mind (or pocketbook)
- Replace trans pan due to leak, upgraded to metal
- New PCV valve, MAF sensor, clean TB
- EAS rebuild, dryer cap, desiccant, valve block cleanings
- New tires
Unfortunately, I think the "LR3 Experience" is summed up as:
"You never know what you're gonna get"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Best of luck to you!

I drive mine everywhere. I went to Rovers on the Rocks with it a couple weeks ago. 750 highway miles, then two solid days of trails and than 750 miles back.
Red Clay rally 500 miles each way to get there/back and 600 miles in the competition all in about 5 days.
Both of mine have been fantastic. Just digging in to the 3rd LR3 I picked up.
I am sorry to hear about the issues your having though.
An intermittent no start can be a sign of a failing starter
