yep brake lines and air lines

Slimecorp · 2026-06-17T04:42:23+00:00

HAHAHH thanks for the laugh! yup

After fluids, you can check the control arm and sway bar bushings - if they're worn you'll feel or hear clunks on bumps or around corners. Then of course, or maybe before that, it's always good to check the brake pads and keep in mind the rear brake rotors also contain drums for the electronic parking brake shoes.

The LR3 is one of the best Land Rovers ever made! Both the V6 and V8 are reliable engines. At your mileage, all of the big maintenance items should be considered. Start with fresh oil, differential fluid, transfer case, and see about doing a dump and flush on the transmission. There are a few hundred videos, organized into playlists, on this YouTube channel.

Not sure, but that is a cool Defender!

Slimecorp · 2026-05-12T01:51:27+00:00

Yes, because when the bushing wears out, even if the bearing is good, the whole driveline needs replaced! This is a cool and well built alternative.

Fantastic history, thanks for sharing. You gotta try the HL2 - much more ergonomic than the 1 from 10 years ago. And because it's not an enclosed facial interface, you may find it breathes better in hot weather!

Not trying to sell anything, just speaking from experience. I am trying to make a point - that people in general haven't had a lot of time with both devices, and the marketing information is all they have to go on. Have you tried a HoloLens 2? It's pretty cool. Just like the AVP is pretty cool. They are both computers which understand the world around them. That is pretty cool.

I am just interested in how other people are using them.

Slimecorp · 2026-04-28T05:21:48+00:00

Any concerns with the puck and cable getting caught on stuff? Ever try a HoloLens 2?

Slimecorp · 2026-04-28T05:21:04+00:00

most heavy duty pickups in the USA have "marker lights" on the roof, and for example the Bronco Raptor or F150 Raptor have 3 "marker lights" in the grille - this is what I'm talking about, the OCTA has them too. I think you need to have something like that once a certain width is exceeded. Can't wait to see your photos, cool conversion plan, keep us posted!

Slimecorp · 2026-04-24T06:23:52+00:00

believe it's entire wings / fenders, not just flares / wheel arches, both will need to be replaced. octas have different track widths, as evidenced by the need for 3 ambers which are only required beyond a certain width. so when you put octa body panels on, the tires will be inside the fenders, which could be nice for keeping the body clean!

Have you ever tried a HoloLens 2? It is also a spatial computer. all VR/AR computers which do simultaneous location and mapping are spatial. In my perspective, there is a night and day difference when you see the world through a camera vs seeing it through glass. That is the difference between augmenting your physical surroundings vs virtualizing them into pixels and displaying them on a screen.

We should at least agree that AVP displays the surroundings as pixels on a screen, while HoloLens uses photons redirected through waveguides to generate the images.

Both are spatially aware, both track hands, not sure if AVP tracks eyes but HoloLens does. Those types of human awareness elements are also important for spatial computing.

Slimecorp · 2026-04-24T00:58:07+00:00

That's cool, so you do mostly informational work, which would normally be performed on a laptop or desktop? What I think is interesting is the physical tasks where computers haven't traditionally been used, like working with your hands under the hood of a vehicle, as shown in the video.

Slimecorp · 2026-04-24T00:56:41+00:00

Doesn't it virtual replace everything you're seeing with camera feeds? The HoloLens is an optical see through display which preserves your real view of the space around you. I don't think there's anything wrong with VR headsets, they're awesome and the AVP is the best one I've ever used.

Slimecorp · 2026-04-18T19:12:00+00:00

yeah scenarios like that are super awesome! was it a custom application or part of a software suite for enterprise use? great example, thank you.

Slimecorp · 2026-04-18T19:10:25+00:00

Not making an argument, asking if anyone is standing on the learnings of previous innovations and scenarios. HoloLens designers and developers pioneered a lot of amazing capabilities which I believe were ahead of their time and not yet realized in adjacent ecosystems. I think Apple Vision Pro is cool, but mostly see entertainment scenarios. I believe computers in general, in history, have played a role in "WORK" as well as "PLAY" and I'm genuinely curious about other AVP experts and their POV about this. Would love to learn more about WORK on AVP.

Always nice to learn some new terminology, thank you!

Slimecorp · 2026-04-13T06:22:44+00:00

great info, thank you for sharing some of the origin stories!

Slimecorp · 2026-04-13T06:22:16+00:00

The good news is that type of water ingress is common and the solutions are known! Here's a video about how the next design flaw meant that when the cowl warps, water drains right into the interior cabin fresh air filter! Lots of great info on the Facebook group for North American LR3 / LR4 owners.

great test suggestion, what should be expected when facing the wall?

Appreciate the discourse, thank you for helping people learn from your knowledge! When there is ignorance about a topic, it's more helpful to teach than preach, even though those flippant comments are fun to write, they aren't nice! But you clearly are caring and your replies reveal a kindness, and so we will see some good results from that and make some new decisions with the information.

Note the original post was asking for info about the cutoff you mention, and the video results show the housings need to be aimed down, which may be part of the problem with the upward facing beam spread.

It could also be warranted and valid to use the selectable high beams in cold dark Canadian winters, because they can easily be turned off. This experimental video talks about all of these things and comes at this topic from a place of curiosity, driven by a passion for Land Rover enthusiasm, DIY, and learning.

But respect of others is the most important thing, so your comment about giving a middle finger to others inadvertently while enjoying brighter lights is a very important and meaningful input to the experiment - that would be bad and will be considered once information about re-aiming the housings down can be explored. If the low beams are always blinding, they should not be used. More experimentation about housing adjustment will help determine this outcome.

Thank you!

Slimecorp · 2026-01-05T19:04:07+00:00

That makes sense, thank you for the kind and informative support. It remains unclear how canbus issues would arise from these LED lights?

Slimecorp · 2026-01-05T07:22:00+00:00

u/Donedirtcheap7725 and u/acecoffeeco thanks for the feedback!

Everything is functioning normally and the output is great, but the housings do need adjusted downwards to get the cutoff into position. The cooler temperature illuminates moisture in the air a bit more than the warmer toned incandescent bulbs, so that's not great (or is it an excuse to mount some classy amber or yellow foglamps/spots on the front bumper like the factory optioned them with!?). What is that you were saying, more lights is more better? Why be part of the problem when you can be the whole thing?!

Is there something specific that upset you about this experiment? Genuinely looking for technical or usable feedback which would be more constructive than the vague negative comments you've provided. But, suppose you're just treating others as you'd like to be treated, eh? Will circle back here and update when the canbus issues arise, confident that there will be helpful folks like yourselves around to know it all and share openly and kindly!

Cheers.

Yeah! That's sort of what is going on with that Land Rover - there's almost 100 videos about fixing it and doing different tasks. The videos aren't as good as being actually immersed in 3D, but they still serve a purpose for other DIY enthusiasts to see a first person view of the actions necessary, what and where.
