    Engine cover

    Ive heard some horror stories about allroad's, just a question for fun, whats been more of a maintenance headache? The LR4 or the allroad?

    Need Part Numbers Please - Differential Drain Plug and Transmission Heat Shield

    I think the heat shields only came on the LR3 Zf6 transmissions, I remember coming across this same thing in the workshop manual and researching it because mine too did not have a heat shield. I don't think any LR4's came with a transmission heat shield.

    Advice needed, stalling with P2279 (intake air system leak) 2012 LR4 HSE 5.0 138,xxx miles

    There is no readable value for the low pressure pump. Can you go WOT without any hiccups in the power band? Does it feel like all the normal power? If so I would rule out fuel system. if your not convinced, run some BG44K through it, doubt it will help thought. Highly doubt it is timing...

    Is this a failing crossover pipe?

    You should use the orange coolant, most auto-parts stores sell it, it's within spec, and its not expensive.

    Advice on peeling dash

    I do all the leather in my car every 1-2 months, I just used the chemical guys shampoo and then their conditioner after. It has worked wonders on the leather in my rig. Think the main part of it is making sure you do a good job and getting on a consistent schedule of doing it rather than the...

    Off-Road and/or Overland Terrain Conditions

    What tires do you have on it? Those are gunna be the main thing that holds you back especially in low traction conditions (anything other than dirt) on hills. Other thing to worry about is weight, these cars are really heavy so make sure that it doesn’t just sink so I would make sure of that...

    Rear door frame rust - driver/passenger sides

    I would be very nervous about what that bottom trim piece hides underneath it.

    Engine smell when flogging it

    I know one of my bolts sheared off because i found the spacer that sits in between the heat shield and the manifold itself wedged in between the cat and the cat heat shield. I also hear the slightest exhaust leak on cold start but goes away when warm (i assume the manifold binds back to the...

    software update

    You can reset the adaptions with the IID tool. I had to reset my adaptions a couple of times after my trans was overhauled to make it shift super smoothly.

    Amber Check Engine Light ON

    thats a little odd... These trucks are finicky, I would wait till it comes back, check codes frequently so you can rule out the codes that aren't causing it but my bet is that the transfer case code may have set it off.

    LR4/3, Range Rover, and Disco Seats (Interchangeable?)

    Ventilated seats would be a dream come true, my rig is black and you know how California gets. There would have to be some serious work done to get ventilated seats into these cars tho. I’m pretty sure they would have to have a module of sorts and all that jazz.

    Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons

    Ya I have this same problem so I wedged the opener in that little storage area on the passagerside where the parking brake is on the drivers side. Fits perfectly

    Engine oil analysis results on 2010 LR4 V8

    I use the same mobil one extended performance but 0W-20 and run 5k intervals. Oil always looks good when I'm dumping it out of the vacuum pump at O'Rileys.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Love that rear window decal where did you get that from?

    2011 LR4 gearbox/transmission

    Mine didn’t like heat very much, my new one has been fine. If you don’t shift into first yourself it will not shift into it automatically so that’s why your starting in second. In automatic mode it will start in first. These gearboxes were used in a ton of bmws and other cars but they are...

    Alternative sound system

    I spent $800 on my whole set up. I got the sub for $500 and got everything installed for $300 by a professional shop in California. I think the sub is more expensive now but if you did it yourself you could still do it for less than 1k. Ofc again you lose a little cargo space and the tie downs.

    Nickname for LR4?

    ^^ Either call it the “LR” “LR4” or “The Rover” (the is optional) not very creative but I just never named the cars I had, figured the names they were given were descriptive enough. Can totally see the Clarkson name, Jeremy loved his Rovers after all. I don’t really understand the point of...

    Alternative sound system

    Thought about it but then you go through the process of trying to make that tailgate quiet and not rattle and it just seemed like the box was less of a headache. But it’s definitely possible and by all means and I’m not against the idea of you doing it. Here’s a thread of another member who did...

    Alternative sound system

    Here’s a link to what I was talking about but unfortunately it doesn’t look like your getting much more space than what I have, it’s just cleaner than my set up. https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-h-k-subwoofer-no-longer-working.41935/ You should see the photos on the first page...

    Alternative sound system

    It gets input from the factory sub wires and since the factory sub is in the tailgate the wires are all right there so it was super simple and can be hidden behind the plastic paneling in the rear, unfortunately like you stated you do lose cargo space that you may need for big adventures. You...

    Alternative sound system

    If bass is strictly what your looking for then I would throw a sub in there. I run a JL ACP110LG-TW1, it’s a 400 watt 10 inch sub with a ported enclosure powered by a built in class D amplifier. It sounds great because of the LR4s boxy design and will shake my seat if I crank the knobs. Also...

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    I’ve had the same thoughts, have you seen the leaks for the bigger defender that has been in testing for over a year now? It’s likely to take the name “SVX” which they intended on giving to the D5 but bailed last minute. Registration forms say it has the bmw N63, 4.4L TTV8.
