Mild Equipped 2005 LR3 SE, 123k Miles located in Woodbury CT
The good: Solid running truck, no leaks, with long service history, no dash lights, and some mods for today's overlander, all of which can easily be returned to stock. Lots of preventative maintenance has been taken care of including the known usual big ticket LR3 problems (see below)
The bad: Small 4inch scratch/dent in front pass door, small crack in 3rd brake light lense which I sealed (not visible while walking around), rock rash on spokes of factory wheels (none structural or around the bead), some dents on lowest sections of exhaust and gas tank skid, none of which are structural or effecting flow. Earlier this year the fuel tank senders started acting funny giving false readings (known LR3 issue) so I purchased brand new genuine VDO replacements but did not install yet due to the fact it's been working. Replacements will be included in the purchase along with some other small items.
Done with prior owner...
46k compressor
57k LCA bushings
67k thermostat
82k driverside tie rod
86k Sunroof drains
96k brake booster
Within last two years I have done the following, mostly as preventative maintenance to stay ahead of the maintenance curve...
100k brake pressure switch, new agm battery and negative battery cable
101k Diff breather upgrade,thermostat housing, drive belts, radiator hose, coolant flush
107k transfer case and diff service, transmission software update
114k idler pulley and both tensioners, alternator, waterpump, clutch fan assembly, spark plugs, transmission service kit including upgraded two piece oil pan and filter, heater resistor (blower motor was replaced a month or two prior)
115k Front air suspension distribution box, pcv valve, thermostat housing and thermostat (new one was leaking)
117k rear driveshaft assembly
119k right rear caliper, stainless steel rear brake lines, rear pads and rotors, e-brake rebuild and adjust
121k front rotors and pads
123k air and cabin filters and last oil service. Left rear caliper
All parts were genuine or quality oem, no junk, researched everything going into it and each brand chosen. Oil services always genuine fluids and did not go cheap, was done on schedule routinely. I have records from the prior owner showing it's life from 40k till the time I purchased it, it had been purchased prior from a dealership, he gave me as much as he could when I purchased the truck from him. The vehicle spent most of it's life in Georgia, hence the rot free frame.
