    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    If you'd said that the LR4 is faster than the LR3 I would have simply agreed. You said one is slow and the other is not, which to me is just silly because neither are fast. I will take the slower of the slow vehicles and the engine that doesn't lose its timing chain and get destroyed. If we...

    Yes. My wife's Q50 does it in 5-flat or less....and that's not fast either.

    They're both slow...

    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    Power? That 75HP is meaningless on the trails....and on the roads, well, the LR3/4 is just not fast regardless. I'll take the -75HP to avoid the crappy timing chain guides and crossover pipe, any day.

    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    ...a better question is "why?" By all accounts the 4.4 is a better engine.

    Air bag light on dash

    Idk but I'd try doing a hard reset. Also, why would this issue affect your emissions test?

    No coolant flowing

    I'm sure someone will set you straight on this forum. I think...and I'm not sure but from reading post after post about coolant over the years, you have to bleed the system and you likely have air in it. Also I hope you replaced that bleeder T with a copper one.

    Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE

    This job as a DIY is out of my league. I don't have the space or tools or patience to tackle this. $1000 is a pretty fair price if it was at a dealer. I wonder....if you bought the $300 strut from AB and took it into an indy, what they'd charge you for labor. Might be worth a quote....

    tis the season, block heater, anyone do it?

    I don't know if that is what it ended up being...I remember it costing around $550 and that's less than 5 hours labor. You could always try the adhesive type or the kinds that cut into the coolant. I have big ass aftermarket skids under my vehicle and didn't want to mess around.

    air suspension -- dumb question

    Only problem will be the one day you forget!!!

    maintenance history since new 2013

    ...only rear control arms I have heard of needing replaced on an LR3 at least, are ones that had polybushes installed. The thinking there was that the stiffer polys transferred more of the load into the control arm and caused it to fail. The reason the fronts get replaced is because the rear...

    the true costs of running lift rods

    That is true; I forgot about that variability from VIN to VIN. I am lucky in that I easily found a sweet spot where I don't get any rubbing with my tires yet I can go into Extended Height still and not get out-of-range faults. I only use that when off-road; otherwise I'm in stock heights.

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    I recently had my LR3 on Hakkas in a foot of snow in the mountains. I had zero issues...not true of the Jeep Rubi that was with us. Nokians are legit.

    the true costs of running lift rods

    If you have the IIDTool you don't need the lift rods at all. You can create up to three new EAS settings, higher or lower than stock.

    Move on or Fix

    Well then since I'm on a roll I am going to impart some more wisdom! :) Get a genuine no bullshit AMK compressor.

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    Same here. I have an Infiniyi Q50 and it has LEDs...2014. that's why I asked the year...figured LR would have gone Led by then. I line HIDs way better and I used to be a Lighting Engineer on airplanes. Each have their advantages.

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    Wow...that's a good comparison, and thanks for the clarification. I'm surprised the Evoque didn't go with LEDs. What year?

    the true costs of running lift rods

    ...seems like the rods would help avoid tire rubbing on less severe obstacles, though...full stuff is full stuff, agreed....but being in extended height has to help with general tire clearance and of course ground clearance. The counter-argument is to say you have just as much tire-clearance in...

    Will our LR4's be desirable in 10 - 15 years, or are they just another modern day LR?

    I mean that sounds like a nice patina :) ...but some of that stuff is really cheap and easy to eradicate. I've had half a dozen dings removed and updated things like wheel arches and windshield cowlings cheaply. Now that I'm better equipped to maintain them I can make them last forever. I'm an...

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    How do you know that they are SIGNIFICANTLY better than the factory HIDs if you had Halogens before?

    Will our LR4's be desirable in 10 - 15 years, or are they just another modern day LR?

    I'd add that it will largely depend on what the new Defender specs out like.

    @zelatore what I call a black diamond trail are ones that have a sign at the trail head with a black diamond on them. I know you've done serious stuff...in all your rigs. My point...is that stock v stock the LR3 is ridiculously capable. That's really all.
