    ACDelco Oil Filter

    They are made wherever's cheaper to make them... The next Mahle OX 774 you buy may very well be stamped "Made in China."

    LR4 Offroad Performance WITHOUT Heavey Duty Package

    You can shift to low range while moving (24 mph / 40 kmh or less): temporarily shift to N, push and hold the Lo Range button for a second, and when the Lo / mountain icon stops flashing and remains lit steady in the instrument cluster, shift back to Drive. If you try that trick at higher...

    LR4 Offroad Performance WITHOUT Heavey Duty Package

    There is no threshold because it's really not that cut and dry, the use of low range depends on driving conditions, terrain, etc. Nothing bad will happen (well, your gas mileage will suck) by staying in low range for stretches of flat trail, even at moderate speeds, if those stretches of trail...

    Spare tire

    It will hang low (no lower than the exhaust pipes in front of it) and a chunk of it - a few inches - will be visible from behind the car.

    Easy way to spot HD package on '14 - '16 LR4, but how about other years/models

    And yours is a NAS / US model? That seems quite odd - although if it was a late, end-of-production 2016 model I guess it's possible you got an odd build, perhaps they ran out of rear lockers. ;) If you send me your complete VIN (via Private Message if you don't want to post it here), I'd be...

    Spare tire

    Sounds like a no brainer. Any full size spare tire that matches the size of the running ones is better than the compact donut in an emergency.

    "Service Required" alert in my display

    That sounds right, but I believe it only works for 2014s and later. 2013s and earlier can only be reset via diagnostic tool.

    IIDTool CCF issue

    If you try the same thing with the steering wheel switches instead of via Bluetooth, does the routine complete as shown? I had similar issues in the past and noticed that the Bluetooth connection - rather the tool itself - appeared to be the issue. I haven't modified my CCF in a long time, so if...

    Sounds like air brakes on the drivers rear

    Do you hear it a few seconds after you park, exit the car and close the door? A brief release of air from the electronic air suspensions is normal, as the rear end often levels.

    Rattling noise from drivers side likely rear

    My twin daughters had left the cup holder behind the front console wide open and empty when they sat back there last weekend on one of our many after-school activities runs. That thing was rattling like a mofo over broken pavement and it took me a while to figure out what it was from the...

    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    I drive my LR4 over 30K miles a year, most of them on highway. This car is a fantastic highway cruiser, as long as you can put up with the fuel bills, which will be substantial I'm afraid. The heft of the car in a relatively compact footprint makes it as stable as a freight train at high speeds...

    Oil message: Below Minimum

    Gravity will prime it! :) You should always double check oil level after replacing the filter with a new one and letting the engine run for a few minutes (since filters do absorb some oil), but other than that... I don't see anything on the workshop manuals about priming the oil filter.

    Folding mirrors while locking

    Are you using Bluetooth, or the steering wheel buttons to make changes to the CCF? I have always used the steering wheel buttons when messing around / uploading the CCF, I just feel better taking the somewhat finicky Bluetooth connection out of the equation... I figured it's one less thing that...

    Oil message: Below Minimum

    I always add 8 to 8.5 quarts (that's about 8 liters), regardless of how much I vacuum out, and it's usually sufficient for a good fill. When's the last time you changed oil prior to this one? If you only drained 6 liters out of the engine, you most likely have a small leak somewhere and should...

    Folding mirrors while locking

    Correct, you need to load the CCF first, then > scroll to BCM - Body Control > scroll to Power Fold Mirror > the default is Fitted with Logic. Change from "Fitted with Logic" to "Fitted", exit and perform the steps required to save the modified CCF to the car (it's going to be a suspenseful...

    16 LR4 & Chamberlain garage door opener

    As you'll quickly discover through those threads, there is nothing to try out... You need to order a repeater from Homelink (call your Chamberlain support line to order it, they usually ship it to you for just a nominal S&H fee after verifying that your car is in the database of vehicles that...

    16 LR4 & Chamberlain garage door opener

    Chamberlain = Liftmaster. See these relevant threads: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2016-lr4-and-liftmaster-garage-slide-gate-opener.30085/ https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/liftmaster-garage-door-opener.27130/

    Broken part while trying to replace water pump and I don't know what it is called?

    That looks exactly like the part that broke off inside your engine. Plenty of web sites confirm that the part # is compatible with your LR4 (as well as any other model year LR4 with the V8 engine, 2010 to 13 included), as well as pretty much every other Land Rover vehicle with the same engine...

    Another Defender hint?

    Maybe it's a very early, back-to-the-drawing-board Discovery 6 test mule. :biggrin:

    Dash Cam Recommendations for the LR4?

    It would be cool, but the resolution of the vision assist digital cameras is barely passable for the touchscreen of our cars, I doubt it would be of any use when blown up on a computer monitor.

    Lower the suspension

    For long periods in storage (as in a couple of weeks or more), inflate your tires near the max allowed by the tire manufacturer - s/b around 50 PSI if you mount the stock or any equivalent eXtra Load tire as Land Rover recommends, around 80 PSI for E-range tires - to avoid flat spotting, and...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I saw an LR4 with 18" Black Rhino wheels at the recent WNLRR in Northern California.They were black, 6 or 7-spokes and looked great. They were neither of the styles above, if I had to guess (scrolling through their catalog) they were 18x8.5 Mozambique. The owner said he had to shave the outer...
