A few notes from Houston

I know its tough, but I would let insurance have them. If the carpet is wet than the wiring harnesses in the sill running along the outside have been completely submerged.
I had a truck come in because the seat wouldn't move and the carpet was soaked. I dried it out and starting cleaning connections.
By the time I was done the sunroof didn't work, both seats didn't work, the keyless entry didn't work, and it had a parasitic draw on the battery.
As a hail mary I installed a brand new BECM, no change.
If they will let you keep them for a month to see if systems start acting up, then maybe try to keep them. If you have to decide now, let them go.

If it was salt water, this would be a completely different story, but it sounds like you might get by just fine. *fingers crossed*

They are gone!
After much sole searching, I let the insurance take them away.
I figured with as much as I have learned from this forum, the next one should be easier to fix.
As long as the engine and tranny are good, I can fix the rest, so keep a look out in the next few weeks as I chamge my signature to show the Rover.
Thanks for all the interest and help

3 vs 4
They are different. Speaking from a users point of view not an engineer........
The 4 rode better on the road (but it did have 100,000 les miles than the 3)
It took us awhile to figure out the locking scheme. Seems how you lock it make a diffetence on what does when you unlock it. And how you unlocked.
(It has those small buttons on the door handles for locking)
The nav is intergrated. No way to change it out like the 3.
It rides better on the rode again, may have been difference in milage.
4 has more acceleration and the ZF tranny seems to like the
torque curve of the 5.0 better than the 4.4 (but my 4.4 may have been a little tired)
The 4 requires unicorn tears for engine oil. (If you want to use the factory listed oil, it is impossible to find locally and if you do, it is $13 to $15 a quart.)
Other than that...... Same car.
If you understand the maintnenace requirements of these cars, either one is a good choice. If i had the money, I would think about replacing my 3 with a 4, but a 2007 LR3 with 176,000 won't. be much of a down payment, even for a 2010 LR4. bUT I dont have the money only alot of LR stuff so I will buy another LR3
Hope you find the one you want
