Thanks for all the ideas. I have a control knob that moves the mirrors as expected and does deflect downwards when set to the middle position. I need to get this mirror foldback module. I can't find it on any of the Land Rover parts supplier websites. Think I will call the dealer on Monday and...

Thanks for the diagrams. Are these from an electrical manual you downloaded? I have downloaded a service manual which is a bit awkward as it is multiple files, each for various systems. I don't think it has anything like these diagrams though. Looks like "component location" information similar...

Got the battery today, a Panasonic VL 2330. Used a thin abrasive wheel in a Dremel to cut around the case and pried it apart. Battery inside was the same Panasonic. Used some de-soldering wick to remove the battery. Checked out good at 3.3 volts. I noticed that the smaller pin on the bottom of...

Nope. That is the memory control module. The mirrors run through that because their position can be memorized along with the seat position. There is a foldback module that looks like a relay and that is said to be in the CJB, central junction box. I will take a look at the two fuse boxes. Not...

I wonder if they will continue with a digital version. I just finished reading February's edition and was looking forward to getting my digital edition soon.

The owner's manual I downloaded does indicate the power folding mirrors are an option so it is possible I don't have them but this particular car is an HSE with quite a few options: premium leather, premium stereo, cold climate package and adaptive bixenon headlights so I would think the...

Spent a few hours partially taking down the headliner in the P38 so that I can swap in a different sunroof. The one in the car does not close fully at the back edge. Will try and install tomorrow.

I just subscribed to the digital version....

According to the owners manual I managed to find online I am supposed to be able to fold the outside mirrors of my 2008 LR3 by centreing the mirror adjustment knob and then pushing it downwards. Nothing happens when I do this. The knob does adjust the position of the mirrors and I can push it...

I have ordered a Panasonic brand battery with solder terminals. Will arrive next Saturday and I will give it a go. My P38 fob works fine even though I have run it through the wash twice so I don't see why this one will not work after getting a new battery. The fob with my 2008 RRSC still works...

Silly me, I forgot to check YouTube. There are half a dozen videos on the subject although I don't approve of some of their destructive methods.

So I have decided to upgrade from P38 to LR3. I managed to find a very clean 2008 with premium leather, premium sound and the cold climate package. Everything seems to work fine and I am generally pleased except for one thing: the fob is dead. I am annoyed that the used car dealer did not make...

That is exactly what I did. Rock crawl and low range. Never saw the diff symbols show locking but much drama at the rear diff.

Thanks for the replies. I have a 2008 full size RR supercharged which does definitely have the rear locker so I drove it around in a parking lot in low range making 90 degree turns and I never heard anything from the rear diff so I'm inclined to believe there is problem with the LR3 diff. I...

Today I looked at a 2007 D3/LR3 with the intent to purchase however I am not sure the locking rear diff is working correctly. I have no experience with these so need advice before purchase. Driving around a parking lot in low range I could hear and feel the rear diff seemingly locking up but...

Well I had to replace one in my car to cure a missfire so they can fail for some reason. Doubt it was plugged though as you would expect others to be plugged as well.

So when do you suggest changing the fuel pump? I changed mine when I bought the car because you don't know when they might fail but it's a dead pump that will stop you, not a plugged filter. Edit: On thinking further I recall that I only changed the pump. I used the old housing that contains the...

A filter actually becomes more efficient as it is used. The pores are shut by debris starting with the larger ones first. After 20 years, assuming original, it will be filtering fine particulates. Same applies to your oil filter. I change mine every second oil change.

I thought Terrafirma were a UK company? I don't think a US company would post adverts in Land Rover International magazine.
