OEM Ladder fit
From the pic, it appears that the ladder bracket is not snug on the left side (as you stated), and may be: 1. The bracket is not bent to the contour of the tailgate (it kind of looks like this might be a contributor).. If you look at the bracket, Right by the "L" in Land Rover, it is centered... -
LR4 Landmark Audio Upgrade...
Agreed, but to your point: An excellent vehicle needs a great system- overlooking it subtracts from the experiences you will have in this truck. In my opinion, music is a solid backdrop for adventure. When it's 6:30am, and I have a roof full of duffle bags, truck full of Boy Scouts, and the... -

LR4 Landmark Audio Upgrade...
I can vouch for Focal's quality, installed them in a Porsche years back with McIntosh amps, and now run some in my flagship home stereo setup.. I am an audio snob, and it sucks to hear the Landmarks have the Meridian- the D5 has it also and it leaves a lot to be desired. I'd keep investigating... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Yep, just packaging.. It looks strange enough to beg the question! Mike -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I used Febi fluid, I've got about 9k on the truck since the fluid change and zero problems noted. I'm thinking at 90k I will drain/refill again, as I only did it once during the procedure (there is still old fluid in there as you don't get it all out). For a pump, I used one from the local... -
My rover won’t start...
...And one look at the clock tells me you are LATE to work! You better push the STEOP button and get moving.. Mike -

Well done sir! It looks great, glad to hear you found the fuse!! Mike -
LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
After watching the video, I have a stupid question: He states that the tensioners are driven by oil pressure. Over time, they are pressing hard enough to leave impressions (dents) in the guides, thus causing them to run outside their tolerance range and rattle. Could this be caused by... -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
Let figure out if you still have power there- I'm hoping you blew a fuse.. Are you familiar with how to use a multimeter? I'd check to make sure you still have 12v at those connectors.. Another way to check is to plug in the old 12v socket that was originally in the car and see if any... -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
Did you do the full install of the plug I installed, or one that plugs into the stock 12v receptacle? If you did it like mine, you might have the wires backwards.. Mike -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
Yes and yes. A fully charged healthy battery should be about 12.6 with the engine off. When I climb into my truck, mine is reading about 11- which means I am looking for a new battery. The jump to 14+ when driving means your alternator is functioning well. 17+ and your voltage regulator is... -
Extended Warranty Options
I don't know if you can get it by yourself, but the Lotus/Maserati dealer that sold me my LR4 used Safeguard. So far I'm in the green about 2x over from what I paid for it, and they haven't contested anything yet.. Control Arms, Injectors, power steering, etc.. They did send a mechanic to... -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
For the consoles with the shift knobs, there were a couple of challenges I found: 1. While sitting in the driver's seat, the location of the hole needs to move a little up and right. This is not a big deal, but necessary to clear the silver gear selector bezel: Highlighed in red is where... -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
Agreed, once the plug was installed it looked factory- which is what I wanted.. I love the way that it looks, except for the fact that I now know I need a new battery..! Both USBs fast charge my phone, so that extra 12v source is now a useful spot on the console.. I'll shoot up some pics... -
Winter Washing Options?
MBW- this spring you and I are going to have to go over rotary techniques, I am down to 3" pads and am still having problems with.. well, everything but the hood.:biggrin: Mike -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
TCM95- Thanks again for the guidance, I just finished this on my 2012. It looks fantastic, but I noticed there are some differences in the interior panel architecture for the "gear lever" consoles that I had to modify to get things to lay flat/fit.. There is hidden interference where the... -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
Well done, and thanks.. During the teardown, I plan on figuring out what plastic part is squeaking in my gear selector.. Mike -
Winter Washing Options?
We have been below freezing here for about 1.5 weeks now, and being originally from Minnesota I have found only 2 real options in the winter: 1. You can take it to a detailer that will wash it inside where it's warm. I hate this option, because it's my truck and I want to wash it. 2. Find a... -

x3 on that, what a great use for the plug! This looks like a great Saturday morning job.. Well done! Mike -
"Ping" sound from engine when cold
Hmmmm. It's rhythmic, but seems too slow to be directly attached to the crankshaft/camshaft (600rpm would be 10 times a second on the crank, 5 on the cams).. I can't think of anything mechanical in the engine that would cycle 1/5th of that. But it is metallic. Could it be those HP Fuel Pump... -
"Ping" sound from engine when cold
Hmmm.. Maybe a sticky valve? I'm not an expert on the timing chain issue, but this doesn't sound like that.. A repetitive "ping" makes me think something was being struck, like a cam lobe slapping a valve, and once it was moving/lubricated/a little warmer it went away.. I have a mechanic's... -
Christmas spirit (and lights)
I'm running a battery pack, set to "twinkle".. FYI- you can't use those store bought reindeer antlers in our windows, they won't roll up with them clipped on.. Not that I tried:rolleyes: Merry Christmas everyone.. May our highways be smooth, trails rough but manageable, and our check engine... -

Well done sir!! I went with white LEDs wrapped in garland- here's a couple of pics.. Happy Holidays!!
