Hello, I purchased my first Land Rover ever (2006 LR3 w/57K miles). I have worked and tinkered on many American make/models but completely new to the Land Rover family. I noticed a few items and wanted some feedback if these are normal to the model or if they need immediate attention.

1) brakes squeak at low speeds
2) rear tailgate window latch has to be slammed to shut to turn off DIC "open" message
3) at engine start DIC message "Normal Ride Height only"
4) full throttle from stop seems sluggish - is this normal for this model (I am comparing to my H2 and F150)

Also, are there any recommended tips or maintenance for this age and mileage truck?

 

possibly the rear door hatch is off a bit, check the alignment.
you have a fault in the air suspension if it always says normal height only.
foor throttle being sluggish could be a repgrm in the ecu and tcu.
