I have 15k on my current brake pads, mostly highway, and the brake warning light is coming on saying check brake pads. It's been a while since that light has gone off for me, but I don't remember it acting like this and I am guessing the problem is not actually the brake pads. The light comes...

would the IID Gap tool provide more information for this problem?

So my 06 LR3 is getting a "suspension fault normal mode only" error. The suspension raises up, I got a few miles down the road, then get the error. 4x4 screen isn't telling me anything. When it first started it would only happen on the initial "drive", if I stopped to get a snack, and...

forgot to update, I haven't driven much but so far it is looking like the grease on the steering limit worked. fingers crossed.

been on a business trip, so it's sitting at home not being touched currently. Get back soon and will let you know.

I'll give that a shot and see what happens!

Last week my 06 LR3 started making a pronounced grinding noise when doing sharp turns. Usually it was in a parking lot pulling into a space, turning left doesn't seem to be an issue. Any ideas? Also, not sure if this is a thing or just my mind playing tricks on me, but I feel like there...

that's where I am curious, it's going to be almost all on road (just not much cool off road in my area). So is this quiet and comfy for AT tires or generally quiet and comfy?

I'll have to look those up, since posting I did a lot of tirerack review searching and so far Yokohama Geoland HT, Cooper Discoverer AT3, and Firestone Destination AT2 all show up with good ratings.

OK, lets play nice. :} Anyways I know that tires cause a lot of arguments here, but I need new ones. Mostly I don't get to do much off road fun, so I would really like tires that do well around town, and on long road trips, but can also go out on some moderate off road trails as well...

just occurred to me that I should probably update this in case anyone else runs into this: bad part from the store, replaced it again, and it worked with no issues.

not being from the coast I probably didn't get the same press that you guys did, but I always wondered if he was generally a jerk or if it was just towards the press so the press made him out to look bad.

actually, what would happen if I didn't get the sensor plugged in properly?

message center just says to check the brake pads. At this point I am guessing I may have a defective sensor. Out of town though and haven't had a chance to investigate.

I did replace the brake pads and sensor. I guess the new sensor could be bad? Does anyone know if that yellow brake light on the dash is for more than just brake pad wear?
