LR3 quits running randomly (1 Viewer)

[TexasHusker]

My daughter has a beautiful 2006 LR3 that runs perfectly. Except when it doesn't. She can drive it for several days, and then suddenly while driving down the street, it just quits running. She puts it in park, sometimes it starts right back up, and sometimes she has to wait 4-5 minutes. Then it starts back up and might go great for another week.

What would be your starting point to source this?

I know this thread is 5 6 years old. But as a longtime LR3-driver (it's recurring faults brought me over to the 200-series after 1.5 years of ownership - but I still drive the TDV6 LR3 from 08, which is called the Discovery 3 in Europe) the starting point is always reading the fault codes and determining the permanent ones. There is really no point in owning a LR3 while not owning a diagnostics tool.

From personal experience, I recommend the GAP IID Tool (click), which is the go-to diagnostics tool, and a visit over at disco3.co.uk.
