Suspension fault light came on, dealer says the compressor needs to be replaced, $1600 for a part that seems to be a very popular problem with LR3. Why there hasn't been a recall, or a service bulletin on this is beyond me.

Landrover lr 3 have a known problem of having water collect in the sunroof area due to blockage in some drainage tube from debris. Cleaning of these tubes is not a regular part of maintenance if you take your vehicle to the dealership for scheduled maintenance or service. The water collect and leaks into the cabin directly over the radio and middle console. It also leaks over the dashboard near the passenger heat register and in the driver's side dashboard area over the heat register. Water seeps into the electric system (the main BCM) that controls many important functions of the vehicle operation. So far I have a short in the radio. Many of the landrover forums online have several customers and owners of landrover LR3 that have experienced this problem. This defect in the drainage system for the sunroof could cause serious damage / shorting out of the BCM that controls the entire vehicle.
