Multiple Errors - Parking Brake, Suspension, Fun!
It doesn't sound battery related to me and the ebrake may fail locked in-place if you keep using it depending on the problem. The CCA on my battery I thought was 820A. 760 might be a little low, but really you'll probably have less reserve capacity and that's where the killer is. The computers...- powershift

Should I Rebuild?
I targeted an additional 100k miles out of the truck when I got it at 97k mi. Then I looked at the engine I had and compared it to a new reman long block. I looked hard initially because a company called TAPA in So Cal talked me into thinking they offered an engine with more power across the RPM...- powershift

Should I Rebuild?
The previous owner probably overheated the engine, then tried to cover it up. At this point the best path forward is a new reman. You can get them for $14k. I was ready to put one into my rig when I bought it in 2023, but it didn't need it.- powershift

Brake Fluid
If I were that worried I'd buy Land Rover brand and let them stick it to me. Fresh DOT 4 from a reputable brand is good enough. If I had a worry its the brakes in general because they don't work as well as I'd like. A big brake kit would fix that, AP Racing or Brembo monoblocks front and back...- powershift

Water leaking just started yesterday, HELP
I had my drains blown out after purchase, there are 4 of them. I may hit monsoons this summer so I'm as ready as I'll ever be for leaks. Sometimes I get a drip down the rear glass hatch, but overall it feels like a tank inside. I don't park under trees much anymore because that is one way the...- powershift

Replace the VVT Phasers when replacing chains on a '16 LR4
When I was shopping for a mechanic to do my engine work, I came across a guy that wouldn't do the work because timing problems can still occur after doing the chain. The shop I went with wouldn't do the chains w/out replacing the timing actuators. They turned out to be a shady shop, but I have...- powershift

Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?
I'd like to replace the spare with a 25+ gallon water tank and then fill it using a pump and the water vending machines. It would save a lot of space inside the cargo area because I have three 6 gal. containers, then 5 gal diesel and two 5 gal nato fuel cans inside. But the inconvenience of the...- powershift

steering wheel
There was a someone on this forum that put paddle shifters on and made a post about it, not sure if it was a '12. He used SDD to adapt it.- powershift

LR4 Window problems
Gotta say the winders in the LR4 are reliable asf so far. I was afraid to use them so much when I first got it 7/23. No problems with mine so far, including the sunroof which is used multiple times a day. Love that fresh air.- powershift

2010 LR4 Air suspension need advice
Periodic re-leveling is probably what bit me when I started parking on 2X6es to level the frame while overlanding. I went in circles with it trying to figure out what the leak was and then just said f-it and stopped using the 2X6es lol. Now I just disconnect the battery when camping and that...- powershift

Exhaust solutions?
If anyone has idle, rev or WOT clips of their modified feel free to post them and your mods to the exhaust! I've been thinking about cutting off the mufflers at the rear, welding in a pipe in its place and leaving the upstream mufflers/resonators in place. I don't think I've heard that one on TY...- powershift

Sudden Hissing near Valve Cover (5.0 V8)
White smoke is coolant burning. I'd do an oil change to ensure it isn't chocolate milk instead of oil. Are you seeing the white smoke from your rear-view mirror or do you get out and inspect the exhaust? Hot or cold engine temperature is one thing to note when its happening too. I haven't...- powershift

LUX vs Vision package
The LUX package is confusing if it doesn't have center console cooler, the memory seats, and the premium leather.- powershift
