    Spare tire mount accessories

    Glad you dodged a bullet! I've found Voyager's customer service to be spotty at best. They're friendly on initial conversation, but then just seem to disappear. I was trying to address the rusted and seized pivot on my swing arm and at first they were very helpful, but never actually got around...

    2016 LR4 Intelligent stop/start not working

    Michael Gain had a great thread on rewiring the start/stop battery control unit to permanently remove the battery: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2014-2016-traxide-dual-battery-kit-lessons-learned.42404/

    Control Arms or Warped Rotors?

    +1 to control arm bushings. I have an issue currently where the steering vibrates from left to right under braking for speeds greater than 45 mph and it's lower control arm bushings.

    Resting current draw on battery

    My LR4 draws 6-7 amps when in a "wake" state (i.e. just unlocked and the door opened) -- definitely more than I would have expected. When I lock the car, it takes a few minutes to drop to ~2 amps, and then after about 15 mins drops to < 0.5 amp.

    2016 LR4 Intelligent stop/start not working

    From memory, if you remove the ECO battery it will throw errors on startup every time. I believe the vehicle will continue to function, but you'll get a "start/stop function unavailable" warning every time with an icon on the dash.

    Lower Control Arm ball-joint

    Perfect timing, thanks! LR quoted me just shy of $2k to replace my front lower control arms (they replace the whole arms, not just worn bushings).

    Swing away tire carrier

    I posted this in another thread, but it has not gone well. Some examples of issues I've had: The instructions include JPG files for the mounting templates, with no indication of scale which make them largely useless. The swing arm is powder coated with no anti corrosion treatment on the...

    Spare tire mount accessories

    It could be fixed with a cutting wheel and grinder, and then some additional welding. You'd also need to repaint it, but given the poor powder coating that Voyager uses, you should probably do that anyway :)

    Spare tire mount accessories

    This unfortunately will not work on the Voyager tyre carrier, as the mounting face for the tyre is not flat.

    Water tank under cargo area floor?

    I have one of these mounted behind the second row of seats, with a Shurflo pump feeding water to a small faucet in the trunk: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/water-solutions/tanks-mounts/front-runner-slanted-water-tank.html It works well and is easy to fill. The biggest issue is the...

    Voyager Rack Ladder Nightmare

    I posted this in another thread, but felt it was just as appropriate here. I have the Voyager swing and it's not well designed or well made. Some examples of issues I've had: The instructions include JPG files for the mounting templates, with no indication of scale which make them largely...

    Spare tire mount accessories

    I'd strongly recommend considering the Terrafirma spare tire swing arm. I have the Voyager swing and it's not well designed or well made. Some examples of issues I've had: The instructions include JPG files for the mounting templates, with no indication of scale which make them largely useless...

    Tax return plans?

    Love the XLifter for that reason! So good for sleeping in/on the LR4.

    How to: Replace Humidity Sensor.

    On a related note, I used this as a power source pick-off point for my dash cam.

    [FS] New ProSpeed LR3/4 Hidden Winch Mount + Bullbar - $650

    I'm selling my new ProSpeed Hidden Winch Mount and Bullbar. I bought this from Lucky8 a year ago and have decided to change directions on the truck and not fit it. It cost $1288, I'm selling it for half that. The bullbar bolts on, so you don't have to fit it if you don't want it. Located in...

    Battery Issue? AGM Lifetime?

    The car would fire up fine every time, but more and more regularly I would see the warning on the dash stating the battery was low and to start as soon as possible. This began when I was at camp and opened the doors pretty regularly, but then it was occurring more and more often - sometimes when...

    Phone Mount For LR4?

    Yep, that's the one. NaviPlus regularly have discount codes and group buys. I would send them an email ahead of time and see if they currently have any promotions active. I installed it myself. It's a bit fiddly, but not too difficult. You have to pull the entire center console out to get...

    Phone Mount For LR4?

    I used the NaviPlus system sold from Australia. The price was around $700 and they do offer product support. It replaces the "Nav" screen on the OEM system, so you can still access the 4x4 info pages and other elements of the OEM experience.

    Phone Mount For LR4?

    I used the genuine Apple MagSafe (for the iPhone 12) mount. I haven't had any issues with it coming free. Adding CarPlay to the LR4 has been quite possibly the single greatest improvement I've made to the vehicle - it's modernised it so much. I ordered the wireless NaviPlus unit and it was...

    Battery Issue? AGM Lifetime?

    I had a genuine Land Rover battery replaced ~2.5 years ago and I recently switched it out because it was failing. It does feel like these things go through batteries at a crazy rate - I'm assuming based on where it's located that it runs very hot which shortens its lifespan.

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    What mini ratchet is that? EDIT: Sorry to hear about your transmission fluid bath!

    Phone Mount For LR4?

    I have the lower ProClip base and an adjustable mount for an iPhone X(S) for sale if anyone's interested. $25 including postage. EDIT: In case anyone's interested, I replaced it with the higher mount and attached the new Apple MagSafe mount using double-sided tape.

    2016 brush guards, rack and ladder - please identify

    I have the rear light guards on my 2015 and they line up perfectly. The 2010-2013 front headlight guards can bolt up, but don't match up with the shape of the headlights (you can see it in the first picture). I suspect the indicators and headlight beams are unaffected, but the DRLs will be...

    2014-2016 Traxide Dual Battery Kit Lessons Learned

    Auto start/stop functions correctly on my LR4 and I can verify that if the seatbelt is not present, it will not engage (it will also switch off the engine if the car is auto stopped, you put it into Park and then remove your seatbelt). It's certainly possible that the heated steering wheel is...
