    LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...

    Did you end up going with the Akebono pads? My OEM brakes have always squealed at lower speeds during light braking.

    Coolant Temp Questions

    Those temps look normal to me. I usually run right around 190 f. Oil temp is usually almost identical.

    LR4 5.0L overheating at idle

    I'd do a pressure test if you can. I had a very similar experience with a leaking water pump and failing crossover pipe. I also had another issue with a leaking radiator... The coolant temperature gauge on these cars are a joke. They stay in the middle range and shoot way up to the top with...

    LR4 won't move

    Might not work but you could try disconnecting and reconnecting your battery.

    2012 HSE 5.0 V8 Engine Rattle

    Good to hear. Keep us updated! My car has some intake noise that I've been curious about for a while, and sounds somewhat similar to your video, but not as loud. Maybe I'll do some investigating in the future.

    Finding the "Sweet Spot" (Statistical Failure Rates)

    Also my daily, however I'm looking at EVs in the near future for commuting to work.

    Suspension Fault Issues

    Yeah I’d probably investigate that suspension fault. Your car going into extended mode randomly is weird too. Could be a height sensor that’s going haywire. About 2 months ago I blew out one of my air bags (catastrophic leak) and it didn’t even throw a fault that was viewable on the dash. Just...

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    Does the old starter work?

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    The brake pedal is going to stay firm until the engine is running, providing vacuum.

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    This is going to happen without the engine running to provide vacuum. Make sure you press a little harder to allow the starter to engage for future attempts.

    2013 to 2014 Face Lift Headlight Install

    Agreed. I have my DRLs in the Canadian setting, and have never burned out a bulb. I had one explode on my early in my ownership but have had zero problems since.

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    Do you have a way to try and get more voltage to your battery like a portable jump starter or jumper cables with another car? These vehicles are really sensitive to power. How old is your battery?

    becoming collectible

    If my V8 with the HD package ever kicks the bucket I think I’d throw money into it. My fear is someone rear ending/side swiping me and totaling it out. It just drives so damn well compared to anything comparable. Probably eventually going to pickup a Defender, but that’s a ways down the road.

    Overlander Question

    No I bought it used with 42k miles and one year of factory warranty left, which helped me with a few things. One set (5) of tires. My number is about to go up a little bit as I have ordered new front shocks... but they weren't super expensive.

    Overlander Question

    I’m at $0.06 per mile for maintenance (all in, including tires) and $0.22 for fuel. So $0.28 per mile all in. This is over 74,300 miles.

    Interior sill plate protection

    Any paint protection film would prevent that damage, but not cover it up. You could maybe wrap it, but I don't think wraps will hold up that well.

    Every Fault Known To Man

    Check that your battery terminal connections are clean and tight. Any idea how old the battery is? Usually when unrelated systems start to all fail at the same time it’s the battery, however I’m not sure if that’s the case for you.

    Backup Camera stopped working with no explanation

    No, this was while I was under my factory extended warranty.

    Heavier wheel/LT tire combo "skipping" across pavement?

    Could throw in Bilsteins. https://cart.bilsteinus.com/details?id=3043951339689563244&fyv=true&Year=2629041714767035940&Make=6707698259107956128&Model=1936810013924047164&Submodel=3017349710151427203&Pos=Rear This is the shock for the rear. These are stiffer than the OEM shocks.

    2012 HSE 5.0 V8 Engine Rattle

    How many miles are on the engine? You mentioned you just bought it? It doesn’t sound like a timing chain slapping around.

    Oil Change Just Because It's Been 18 Months?

    Oil Change Just Because It's Been 18 Months?

    I personally wouldn't bother for another 12 months probably. You can do an oil analysis if you really want to know the state of your oil/engine health. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ is a good resource for reading up on oil.

    Coil Springs for my LR4 in the future as it ages

    Which one did you order? I'm ordering a flex head 1/4 ratchet and a 15mm flex head ratcheting wrench... Kind of curious what the better option is if you don't mind updating me when you do the job. I'm about a month out from starting my suspension work.

    Front Air Struts - time to replace...what else "while I'm in there"?

    I haven't done mine yet (ordering parts soon) but I've read a flex head ratchet may help, or you might be able to get to that nut from the engine compartment.

    Hanging Battery Wire
