    Leather Dash Peeling/Pulling Up

    Pretty big thread on that here: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/advice-on-peeling-dash.30447/ TL;DR: The OP ended up replacing his dash by hand.

    Removed running boards

    Yeah - I live in Chicagoland and we dump salt all winter long. My boards are showing the effects and have rust/corrosion from winter use. I'll be replacing them at some point with step/slider combos that aren't as sensitive to salt.

    Looking to buy an LR4 and have some questions

    The big things would be: 2010-2012 - make sure that crossover pipe and timing guides have been done 2013 - it's magically delicious and the last year for the V8 2014-2016 - V6 (really the V8 with 2 deleted cylinders). The killed the locking rear diff without getting the HD pack and those are...

    So here is why after owning (4) Land Rovers I don't think I will ever own one again.

    Write this up and file a complaint with your state attorney general. (Assuming you’re in the US) I had issues with warranty work on a F150 and filed one. The state went after them and boy were they (Ford) quick to suddenly make my issue go away. It didn’t stop me from trading in the truck for...

    Blown head gasket

    I wouldn't recommend a mickey mouse fix unless you're 100% destined to head to the full $12k replacement. As Quijote mentioned there's a lot of cross contamination issues and I don't think you'd want gasket sealant leaking into the oil system and doubling down on the existing damage. Get a...

    Do I wait to do the brakes or?

    And I thought 10k a year was low mileage!

    Do I wait to do the brakes or?

    2013 LR4 - 41k now. I bought this lovely beast with 24k miles on it and the brakes were a little chirpy then. It's been getting a little be more pronounced as of late and even chirps at highway speeds. There's no feeling of warped rotors or drop in response for stopping but the...

    Discovery 4 Sat Nav reset

    Just more FYI. Google maps can go offline if you plan ahead. There are other offline map options too for mobile if you ante up. I’m a fan I cheaper more up to date mobile options than a static slow built in solution.

    2014 LR4 Specialist needed in the L.A. area.

    I’d have a hard time believing that swapping a motor vs a head gasket would be cheaper. How many miles and what’s the source of the overheat? Crossover pipe fail?

    Discovery 4 Sat Nav reset

    Something else I've considered (since I've gone back to Apple land) would be to put an iPad mini on the dash (more or less mounted permanently) and then let the data sharing from the phone provide the internet needed for Waze/other apps (music, etc). Use it as bluetooth audio streamer too...

    Another Defender hint?

    That two door looks like a mail truck. Haha

    Another Defender hint?

    Except it’ll be 3-3-2 probably not 2-3-3. My f150 had 3-3 and seating 3 in the front was a last ditch move.

    Another Defender hint?

    The 130 looks like it’s a year out not 3. Pretty sure the S says “18” not 19. They weren’t using a James Bond camera that’s for sure.

    Another Defender hint?

    Putting the key photos here.

    Another Defender hint?

    That’s probably the best pic yet. My slush fund will need a boost.

    Another Defender hint?

    You assume that's not all plastic. :)

    ID a part

    Is it necessary? No. Are most missing it? Yes. Does it actually help keep the crud out of the receiver hole so I don't have to scrub it out/lube it to get the hitch receiver in? Yes. Do I feel like my LR4 would be incomplete without one? Sort of. o_O

    Another Defender hint?

    Now someone explain to me how those doors might be removable? I think there’s going to be a utility and glam edition. Not one that does both.
  19. TheWidup

    Another Defender hint?

    Here’s the perfect example of what’s going to happen to 90% of glam drivers with external mounted spares. Hmmm...OEM tire outside, clearly never rotated, doesn’t match tires on ride. Might as well put a donut there.

    Another Defender hint?

    I'm not against the dash either. I understand there are those that like the shifter in hand as a way to rest the arm. I used to be in that camp but since I bought the LR4 I've been using the flip down arm rest much more often than the center arm console. The command style seating (probably...

    Another Defender hint?

    Anyone want to put money on that not being the final dash design? That may be custom just to accommodate the laptop / road testing electronics
  22. TheWidup

    Another Defender hint?

    Might be that the 2 door is a little bit more rugged than the 4 door. Not sure how many folks really like removing and storing 4 doors.

    Another Defender hint?

    Is that a rivian? Lol. On looks I’m sold. Let’s see that feature and pricing layout.

    Discovery 4 Sat Nav reset

    I’m also curious. Where did you get any upgrade? I thought those were dealer only and vin coded.

    2011 LR 4 won't turn over, locked in Park, emergency brake set

    yeah guys...let's not beat up each other for doing the tl;dr move. These threads can drone on forever and a simple clarity of 6 or 8 speed around the world helps...I didn't know if the 8 was offered before 2014 and that info on the diesel is new to me. Take a breath and accept that nobody...
