Refurbished key?
Just thought I would share my most recent journey. It began with moving my passenger seat and triggering the airbag fault. After pulling the seat and looking for bad connections and re-seating all the connectors (and in the process learning all about the electrical system in the seats) I finally found mention online that the error light will not reset without a LR scan tool. Do I spend $200 on a scanner or $550 on the GAP IID BT?
Well I have been living with 1 key fob for 5 years so it's about time to quit tempting fate, and get another. I bought the GAP tool from Lucky8 ($512, free shipping, no tax) and a refurb key on ebay ($90).
What a great tool! First was reading the error codes. There were many, dating back to 2014. I saved them for later reference and reset all the codes. I am happy to say the airbag fault cleared and has not returned.
Next was the key. With the GAP tool, this was a simple, 10 minute process. It worked just like it was meant to. Then I found a locksmith that could cut the key (there are not many) and now I am all set.
I am looking forward to digging in to all the other tasks I can perform with this tool.

She cranked right to life, no issues. Made me happy. She needs washed something fierce but we have a hurricane/tropical storm/big wind thing bearing down on us so washing it seems a bit pointless today.
Taking it tomorrow to have the wheel balance checked I think I threw a weight or two on a tire.

Battery was connected.
It was a good day. Discount Tire in Augusta took the time and did a fantastic job balancing my wheels and did a rotation for me while they were at it.
The LR3 is smooth down the road again, so I am extremely pleased!

I kind of have a rotation plan re oil changes so eventually the transfer case gets changed as well as all else.
If it was a Ford, Chev or Dodge, probably never, but with the 3, I think new oil in everything once in a while is good preventive maintenance - and it gives you a chance to see if any chunks are in the oil.
Your 3 looks real good in the jpg's above. Is that some sort of tow hook underneath that is visible in the first picture?
