What Do I Need To Know? 2005 LR3 by BluStreak(m): 3:08pm On Jan 05, 2016
I need a quick info on 2005 LR3. I have always loved the Rover SUVs. I have always dreamt of owning one and almost bought a right-hand drive Freelander until I was advised against conversion.

Now I got a super deal on a neatly used black 2005 LR3 with navigation. I drove it o and movement is still excellent. The seller has 2 other superb SUVs and said he is selling to for a quick cash.

Please what do I need to know about this ride in terms of maintenance and associated problems peculiar to the LR3.

I know being a Landrover series, maintenance will be a bit steep but its not gonna be a daily ride.

Well you didn't give complete details, like how many years has it been used in Nigeria!

LR3 is has its peculiar issues, but be sure of these 1: transmission, 2: suspension 3: Engine (is it a V6 or V8?)


If you are in Lagos, I could run a quick scan and give you a breakdown...... Number is in my signature!!

He bough it in 2012 and it wasnt an everyday drive according to him and the ride is in an almost new condition. Its a 4.0 V 6 Engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission, I drove it and the movement is awesome. I want to also mention that I am very glad its a V6 engine instead of a V8 like the Toyota GX470 which is another SUV I am crazy about.

So guys abeg una o, I wan know more about this ride. Make una helepie meeee o. grin

Well the v8 is it! The v6 may struggle a bit to move the heavy car. The Lr3 is fantastic and the parts are not that expensive. Sooper Rescue is the man to see for your repairs. He may even come check the car for you if you ask nicely.. grin cool

I was banned by a spam bot, which evidently is drowning in its own hebetude for commenting on this thread.

I made a simple post offering an opinion on the OP's question.

I was banned for 24 hours which just expired.

If I get banned again for such a silly justification, I would not mind deactivating my account and maybe viewing as a guest forthwith
