Ok so I washed the LR3 last night. I think i have figured out that my cowl has a leak as the truck was all kinds of freaked out this morning. See the pic. When running no tach and no speedo. Yes the 4 ways are on. Also it is not a fan of letting go of the key.

So I have done my best to dry out the passenger floor and kick panel/door jam. Also been investigating the shifter and not seeing anything out of the ordinary. When running it is silky smooth and seems happy...

 

So a big thank you to post 4 in this thread

It got me squared away

 

Glad you got it figured out, we're pretty lucky to have this forum as a resource.

I had no idea there was a warning light on the coolant temperature gauge. Seems utterly useless. By the time that light comes on, your engine internals must be molten metal!
