Two small issues; High engine compression, and suspension status.
Not sure if these are idiosyncrasies or actual problems, but I've noticed a few things about the LR3 so far. About 250 miles on it.
1. When you have the cruise control on, and are going down hill, it seems as if the car is trying to slow down with engine compression. It also slows down quite a bit when you are off the accelerator -- I tried this by going 30 mph on a flat surface, and within about 10 seconds I was under 5mph. These could be related.
2. This morning, when the car was in access height, the height display on the console showed that the car was both in access and off-road height. Pulling the lever up brought it to cruise height -- could this have been my first suspension sensor fault? Bummer.
Other than that, love the car. The light sensor for headlights and the NAV sensor is a little sensitive -- it gets dark and light quick if the sun is on your right and you pass streetlamps (the shade from them.)
