    LR4 Farm Truck

    I rented a pretty sizable rototiller today to establish a garden plot in the cow pasture on the property out back. The rental guy looked at the LR4 and said, "Yeah, that should fit." So I put it in access mode to make it easier for him to ramp up the tiller in the back. Once he got it up past...

    Different oil level readings with hood open

    Maybe the method is a convenience for LR technicians when they are doing oil changes. The "hood up" would make sense if they are changing the oil and want to check if the level is acceptable without having to wait for 15 minutes to do so. They might also understand if there would be a...

    LR4 ARB Rear Locker is possible!

    I did a quick search and didn't find any aftermarket rear locker either. In fact, I couldn't even find a replacement part for the rear locker. AB had a motor kit. Maybe that's it. But seems more like an electric motor to maybe activate the locking differential rather than the unit itself...

    becoming collectible

    An 8 year old vehicle with 12k miles averages out to 1.5k miles a year. Is that even good for a vehicle to be driven that little? I've heard there can be problems that arise from lack of use.

    Homelink buttons on rear view mirror

    This may sound stupid (and probably is) but have you tried pushing and holding down two buttons at the same time (outside right and outside left, I think)? Been a minute since I set mine up (successfully after a number of different runs at it). Seem to recall the entire library of saved...

    Showoff Your LR4

    You have a very nice ride there. Much envy. Do you happen to have the rear locking differential as well?

    Is that gunmetal gray? Looks great!

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    Neighbor lady at the subdivision we recently moved from had a 2017 D5, white with black trim. Barely drove it. Saw it pull out of the drive a couple times a month. Nice person. She came over one day and she positively commented on my LR4 and said she couldn't believe it was over 10-years...

    I thought the Disco 5 was supposed to be the KIA killer. ;)

    There may be nothing you can do... P0016

    Mine is a daily driver I bought used to replace a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder that was totaled when I got rear-ended. Local vehicle sold by a private owner with reasonably low miles at a good price. Drove it and liked it. Seemed like a good comp to the Pathfinder. Bought it to drive it. To me...

    There may be nothing you can do... P0016

    Great! I can cross chains off the list of things to get neurotic about. I'm not going to drive it around with restricted performance codes and/or obvious bad noises coming from the engine.

    There may be nothing you can do... P0016

    That's interesting information, and comforting. My biggest fear is immediate and catastrophic engine failure that occurs without warning. Other stuff I can deal with, work around it, park the car until it can be fixed, or whatever. Otherwise, you can never be comfortable driving the car...

    2016 LR4 Landmark SCV6 Engine Failure at 65k. WWYD?

    I wasn't trying to be snarky with my previous comment. That would be my legit first response. Then I'd get mad, like it sounds you are. Without getting into specifics of the why and how of it, no normally maintained engine should blow up at 65k miles, unless it's a KIA. You might have some...

    2016 LR4 autolocking

    I took my LR4 to a local indy mechanic to do some routine work. When I came to pick it up, the key was missing, lost inside the car (turned out it slid deep under the driver's seat and it had to be pulled to get to the key). We knew the key was inside the vehicle because you could start it up...

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    Thanks to this thread, I finally figured out how to program the radio on my original head unit. I had one channel from the previous owner that I listened to (classic rock) but was never able to figure out how to save the other preset stations that I wanted to select. Turns out it was pretty...

    2016 LR4 autolocking

    I've noticed that if my LR4 is locked and I unlock it remotely with the key fob while waiting for the kids to get out the door of the house and into the vehicle that it will relock itself if it takes too long for them to enter the car. That's the closest I've had to the experience you are...

    No it was miles. kms were like 300k and change.

    Help to buy LR3 or RR Sport

    Based upon year, miles, and maintenance (along with your personal experience driving both) sounds like the RR is the better vehicle. If the situations were reversed and the LR3 was newer, had a lot less miles, and a good maintenance history, I wouldn't think twice about choosing the LR3. But...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    Just saw an LR3 for sale that has roughly 200,000 miles (Canadian). But the interesting thing is that it also claims to have a rear locker and from all the features listed, it sounds identical to my LR4 Lux. It's a 2006. That sound right?

    2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor

    I'm greener than grass. For me, it's "safety first". I was on a level concrete slab with jack stands supporting the frame in front and behind the compressor. I did remove the rear wheel to give me better access and I slid that flat under the frame in the unlikely event the whole thing...

    2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor

    In full disclosure, I just replaced my cheap Chinese suspension air compressor last night and this morning with a replacement the Chinese company covered under warranty. The original one gave out at the start of the week and I was showing "Only Normal Height Available". Just finished up the...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    @ttforcefed that was rough reading, for sure. Seems like most of them were the SCV6. One 2012 V8 NA. It's anecdotal evidence, small sample size, "could happen with any vehicle" kind of stuff, but still... My sense is if you don't shell out the cash for the major preventative maintenance it...
