    Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?

    I had not noticed that until you guys mentioned it. Be curious to hear more details on this as reviews and test rides come out (re. is the low towing capacity a sign of an underbuilt vehicle... all style, no durability?). It is extremely rare that I tow, but for me a sign of an engine designed...

    Michilin, Goodyear or Nokian? (19")

    I've run several set of Michelins on my LR3 and LR4 over the years. They last long and ride smooth, but I liked a little more tread... which is tough to find in 19" tire options but there are a lot more options out there than there used to be. I run similar terrain as you described and I've...

    Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?

    By now I'm sure you've all seen the all new Bronco press, if not... Google it. It's all over the place. The general train of thought in this group is that most of us did not like the Discovery as an LR4 replacement and have been instead looking to the new Defender, which is more in line with...

    tires for LR4

    Here are two threads which both have great information on 19" tire options; https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/michilin-goodyear-or-nokian-19.30357/ https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/lr4-19%E2%80%9D-tire-options.40675/ Good luck, let us know what you decide. I'm currently on the...

    Decent trailer hitch/bike rack combo on a budget ?

    That is a really interesting option for a hitch. While I do like being able to remove it, so I have the clearance in the back when I need it... this is going to be the right option for many people. Looks solid.

    Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British

    Well, update on this order. I did indeed order that RoverLand part. It arrived and was sitting in my garage boxed up. I opened it up to install last week and found that it was a pretty beat up looking USED part. I did not see "used" noted anywhere in the listing, but do realize now that...

    Well crap!

    That's a bummer. A good LR mechanic would suggest replacing those with the water pump, because he knew they were risk items.

    Help with Wing mirror part number.

    For what it's worth, I just had to get the painted mirro backing replaced on mine. It was cheaper for me to get the entire mirror from a junkyard, then to get the primed part from the dealer and then find someone to paint it. I think the piece you are pointing at is black plastic on all...

    Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British

    AB used to have both harnesses listed (theirs and the OEM). It's a relatively cheap part, by landrover standards. For my 2013 I think the price was very close. Currently they only have theirs listed at $130. Roverland has the OEM part for $119 with free shipping. I don't get that... it seems...

    Removing rusted-in OEM tow hitch

    If they had a standard place for it to tuck away securely in the car, I'd take it out (I know sometimes they have offerred that). But... I find with hitches, sometimes when you need them the most, you don't have them with you. So I prefer to just leave the receivers in/on the car. And the...

    Removing rusted-in OEM tow hitch

    I know this has been discussed here before, so do a search on the forum and you'll likely find it. The first time mine was stuck my mechanic used his persuader to get it off (tapped it with a sledge hammer!) The trick is to first put the key in the handle, turn it and get it to pop out as it's...

    Help with Rear Seat DVD

    I suspect not. I don't know the design, but it seems very specific to the two seat positions behind the head rests. I don't think it would work if a kid was in a center seat or the 3rd row. It uses the IR sensor to figure out what side the headphones are on so that it knows what display audio...

    Easter Eggs

    I remember trying that once when I first got the truck... and found the rules of operation convoluted. Nothing I would remember to use on the fly. Anyone use it regularly?

    Easter Eggs

    Cool. I did not know about this and will try it on my 2013 HSE LUX. Is there a way to put windows UP with the remote as well?

    Where to buy a SIDE MIRROR backing?

    Both good options. Thanks guys. Powerfuluk has a lot of mirror cap replacement and cover options. I also saw that the standard mirror is indeed a matte plastic, so it's good to know I should be able to order that from the dealer if needed. (Unfortunately I already bought an entire mirror...

    Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?

    Everyone kept mentioning this 130... finally had to look it up. Couldn't find a lot about it, but this image doesn't show a rear tire silhouette on the back. So that's a good thing. Are there any spy shots of it? Sounds like it is the same chassis as the 110, with more of a rear overhang to...

    Where to buy a SIDE MIRROR backing?

    If anyone finds matte black plastic mirror backs, please let me know. I'd still be interested in those. I only saw glossy black, which I didn't really like for my vehicle (all the black I have is matte)

    Where to buy a SIDE MIRROR backing?

    I was able to find the OEM part unpainted, of course, at various prices at or below dealer price of $120. There are also aftermarket unpainted parts for like $20 if you look around. Maybe they are okay, but the plastic was white instead of black and I didn't know if it'd be more thin or...

    Where to buy a SIDE MIRROR backing?

    I should note, I also don't mind just replacing both sides with matte black plastic mirror backs, if that is an option. :hmmmm: I've seen them out here, perhaps a part for a different model of LR4 is click-in compatible and doesn't require any painting. May come out cheaper in the end also...

    Where to buy a SIDE MIRROR backing?

    So, I went for a drive yesterday and came home without the back to my driver side mirror. Retraced my steps, didn't see it anywhere. This driver's side mirror has been suspect since it was repaired poorly by Carmax prior to purchase (I'd have to snap it back on once in a while), and I finally...

    Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?

    That's too bad. I have not read any of the recent reviews now that the embargo was lifted. Didn't realize the inside has a tight feel. I definitely like the height of the LR3/4. It makes up for the width being on the narrow side (but that makes it fit nicer in my garage).

    LR4 19” tire options!

    Will be interested to see what that tire looks like in our size. Obviously, the one pictures is not a 255/55

    Humming sound after vehicle is turned off

    Same. I'll definitely get the suspension leveling noise as it readjusts when I unload.

    Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?

    :D That's a riot. I have two labs. I have had one of them jump over it on occasion. Now I open up the glass with my arm out ready to deflect escapes... I'm more afraid they are going to blow a shoulder out and cost me thousands than I care that they leap!

    Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?

    That would be awesome. Buy the Defender, but get a tailgate/liftgate like the LR3/4 installed. Does the Defender rear window power down into the door? That would at least be one saving grace allowing you access without opening the gate.
