i work on them for a living... they use the same jaguar v8 engine as the XJ8, XK and XF.
the transmission is a ZF 6 speed; bmw, audi , jaguar use the same one. the drivetrain is pretty bulletproof. the problems arise from electrical issues, stupid interior trim issues and basically just random stupid problems. they don't have consistent problems across the model range that always occur; everything is different. to me, that's worse than having one or 2 of the same problems that happen to every car. they do go through brakes very often, just because it's a heavy truck.

Thanks for all the input guys.
I did a little more shopping for her today and we've had a nice talk about some of the more practicle aspects of her new SUV; it looks like she's either going into an RX or an SRX.
So the problem of what we know about the LR3 is 'solved'
