New to Land Rovers and the one I have wont move
Alright, I am new to Land Rovers. While browsing an auction sight I saw a 2006 LR3 SE V6 that looked nice. I did not read any description and just placed a $100 bid above where it was currently at. Well, I now have me a 2006 LR3 SE V6
. I received it this evening, and on the windshield it says "air bags, drive shaft, axle?" It wont go in to gear. I am thinking transmission. When I try to put it in drive it makes a sound but nothing is engaging. The engine starts and runs great. It just wont engage. Does anybody have a starting point? Thanks in advance.

yes it shows shows up on the display when I move through gears. The error message on the display says “transmission fault Limited gears available”. The Hi Lo lights by the shifter are blinking.

Oh yes I do! As you can see it has 108,565 miles on it so It might be worth pouring some funds into her. I am already in too much to take a loss. So I have decided to just make it my off road vehicle/toy. This will be a long process, but I would like to get her road worthy. I will invest in the GAP tool. A part of me just wants to have it towed to the dealership in Nashville just to "rip" the band aid off to see just how bad she is.

Lol get the gap tool it will pay off. Both if of mine are over 150k and going strong.
I almost wonder if it's the transfer case module. Behind the battery up by the firewall is a silver module with three connectors. Pull them loose and look for corrosion. If it's there pic up some electrical connection cleaner and a soft bristle toothbrush to clean it up cost it with dielectric grease reconnect. Than do a hard reset and give it a go
