I just bought a land rover LR3, and as I'm coming to a rolling stop the car really down shifts hard, as if someone is hitting me from behind. Also while I'm coming to a rolling stop, I push on the gas to go, it seems delayed in acceleration and it shifts even harder. What is it? The transmission? The computer system? It almost feels unsafe to drive. The check engine is not on, but there is also a faulty tire pressure monitoring system. Please help me out.

from where is the sound coming from, and is it constant or intermittent?

Life car is about 225000 km.You have 224000 km.Think about.

I had a similar problem in that when the driver stopped at a set of ligjhts the engine died. ran alright every where else just when the car was stopped. The problem turned out to be a vacuum leak in the brake booster leaning out the idle when the foot was on the brakes. resulting in the engine stopping. Try parking using the hand brake and not the foot brake. It could be as simple as that.

Get an obd tool and scan the fault codes will save u heaps of money u can pi k one up on ebay for under 30 dollars .my personal opinion is i think ur ecu is playing up or possibly ur bcm

some of these cars have a plug near the trip meter reset that is pressed with a long narrow object like a thin Philips screwdriver or a knitting needle.

any bonnet light come on? Youll need to have the potentio meter at each axle inspected for disconnection

No. reach in from inside, remove panel, tiset and pull out bulb and socket. The other kind have screws that remove from inside than entire lens pulls out to remove bulb and socket.

I used to a own jeep grand cherokee but sold it for an LR3. From experience the jeep is somewhat economical over the lr3 in term mpg. Seating in the jeep is a joke, not enough leg room or head room or comfort from daily driving for 3 years. Most of the jeep dashboard is plastic which is essentially price reducing overall to the cost of the car. In terms of the LR3, you have lots of driver and passenger comfort, more suspension features, more capability, however, buttons for certain things are hard to find and need time to remember. Next, LR3's tires need to be replaced once every year, at least since i off-road 4times a month, not much but yea.

Overall the jeep is cheaper and more economical to drive with less comfort. The LR3 is the exact opposite, its more comfortable, more capable on/off road, more better looking, however, it consumes lots and lots of fuel, maintenance can be lot at 30 or 60k. let me put it this way, a jeep grand cherokee is like a bicycle and an LR3 is like a sports bike.
