What are considered normal LR3 noises / rattles
Hi LR3 Community! I am searching for a solid LR3 and found the sticky on PPI / "what to look for" very helpful! Thank you to All that contributed. I am curious to know if there are "things, noises, etc" that are usual and to be expected in the LR3?
I'm asking as I browse the ads out there and if an owner says "it makes this noise but my mechanic says its normal" - I'd love to call BS or know if it is indeed normal and worth my time going to see it - nothing noteworthy seems close to me. For example, is engine ticking/tapping for 5-10s on cold start normal? Wind noise from A-pilar or roof rails? Any regular rattles or other mechanical items one should expect? Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting back and more active in the LR community. Tony |
Rattling or ticking at start up is generally not normal in a LR3 unless it's a diesel. Wind noise at the A pillar is normal along with water ingress there is a TSB on that. Rattles from underneath while idling are usually loose heat shields on the exhaust, or a broken exhaust pipe hanger. Compressor shouldn't run for ages on start up.

Somewhat hijacking here but it pertains to the topic... What is the normal run time for the EAS compressor. I would say mines currently running a minute or two each time on startup.

I've had an issue from day 1 of the third row seats making some noise when folded flat. A few folded towels placed underneath fixed that, putting pressure on the hold down clamps. Both of the outboard vents (in the way they attach on the dash make some noise, but stop when a gentle hand pushes on them. I'm generally a fanatic about squeaks and rattles, but I'm now at 146K (and the original owner), so I do expect some stuff to come up, but even friends are shocked at how solid everything is given that I'm not exactly nice when driving it.
Memphis rover, I'd have to time mine, but I'm guessing maybe 30 seconds on startup? |
30 seconds sounds about right.

It can take up to two minutes if you changed suspension heights (like if you parked in Access). Otherwise yeah 30 seconds sounds about right. |

I pulled original according to the date code lower front control arms off mine at 135k. Sometimes you get lucky
