Gear selector compatibility
Friends I have the same problem at the moment (stuck in Park). I have the shifter out of the car—seems like an easy replace. BUT I want to verify one detail that hasn't been answered as far as I can tell upthread: What's the difference in the two-letter suffix in the part number, and does it... -

Oil filter cap
Well 300 miles over my oil-change interval so thought I'd quickly take care of that over the weekend (extractor, new filter, take the old oil to AutoZone, etc). Well, the old filter wouldn't easily come out of the cap, so in the application of the muscle to get it it out of there, off came the... -

Passenger side air intake and front sunroof drain
Hey mates - Rover trivia tonight. Yes the drain was clogged, **** whacker line to the rescue. But I wanted to trade notes about the outlet of this line, which as most of us know drains into, or rather behind, the right-side engine air intake grille. The cleaned-out drain tube drained fast... -

Best way to clean out sunroof drains
I’ve cleared our Lr3 and lr4 drains via the weedwhacker method several times. But question… what purpose does the constriction serve at the end of the line? If I didn’t know better I would say it was designed to catch debris and cause a clog. Seems common to all sunroof drain designs... -

Sunroof drain preventative maintenance?
Omg you’re kidding me. One can’t write w e e d w h a c k e r without getting censored. I’m living in North Kore. -

Sunroof drain preventative maintenance?
yep - We park outside and they get clogged easily. **** whacker line usually does the trick. Roverrange: What is the advantage of the Volvo part vs Land Rover OEM? timc930: How do you blow out the lines with air? The plastic trim does not allow a positive seal to the down tube. -

getting that damn eco/stop start light off on the IP
Yep. New Exide did the trick for me. -

Leaf and debris catcher
The the LR3/4 under-hood drains seem designed to capture any and all tree debris and store it away in the wheel wells with an idea of future compost. I opened the hood the other day and saw a mouse duck down there so thought I'd better do a deep clean. Any tricks for keeping junk out of there... -

Speedometer recalibration with IID Tool
Ditto! Thanks Jimmy I have also been trying to get the speedo right. I have almost the same tire - bit wider - but can't wait to try MSB IPC @ 30. -

Signing off
Umberto - You don't know this but your posts gave me the confidence to take the plunge upward away from our rusty old 2000 DII (no sunroof!) to the 2014 LR4 we're just a little bit too proud of. Thanks and best of luck with your new ride. -

Windshield Cowl Grille Replacement
Looks great and my truck suffers the same. What's your source at $80? I searched but everything I saw was twice that amount. -

Well crap!
Ah well crap—reading the how-tos gives me a little buyers remorse but I'm getting old and my better half won't let me spend days outside wrestling Rover Fixes to the ground. Avoiding opportunity cost comes at a cost. But with a much lighter wallet the rig is back with new crossovers (both)... -

Well crap!
Since we're discussing cost would you guys mind jumping in with thoughts about an estimate I have for the following ('14 LR4 with 116,00 miles). All preventative maintenance - I got no leaks whatsoever at the moment. The water pump was done at 40k. No evidence the crossovers have ever been...
