Hi all,

New owner of a 2007 LR3 HSE - Chawton/Alpaca w/ 116k (No HD package sadly).

It's service history is lengthy and impressive, so hopefully only have to worry about regular maintenance (or whatever breaks early). Tons of big-ticket items done recently though!

Love this truck so far - always wanted a LR - so this will tide me over till I can get the Defender 110! Or RRC . . . or all of the above?

Been doing my research - gotta love the internet for us DIY guys!
Already got my compressor rebuild kit, with new desiccant - and will clean/refresh the valve blocks/o-rings too - got the latest NAV DVD - need to fix the left rear heated seat - will get the IID tool as soon as my previous car sells.

Will need new tires soon - hoping to replace with 18" 5-spokes (satin black) with upsized tires. Probably add on-board air too. Maybe ditch the running boards for some slider bars - better function/look and can still step on them.

The worst part so far is piecing back the missing items that "should have" come with the truck - 2nd key, loadspace cover, hitch/wiring, Rosen dummy AUX plug, fuse pullers (really), rack crossbars - I did get a decent Owner's Manual set from eBay already. I am **** and sell my cars in perfect condition, with everything right down to the window sticker/etc. Why can't others share my extremely considerate quality?

Looking forward to taking it camping with my wife/son when he is older!
Let's make this thing last till 216k+!

 

Welcome and I like your optimism Sir!

 

Greetings where in CA?

It would be nice if others shared the same quality, it's always great to set the example for others to follow, well done and welcome douglastic!
