    Testing how loud my Goodyear Duratrac are...

    There should be some good info for you on this recent thread: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/michilin-goodyear-or-nokian-19.30357/ Running with 20s, it seems the Michelin Defender LTX would be a viable option, but then again it depends what type of tire you are looking for. FWIW, I...

    Dash Cam Recommendations for the LR4?

    +1 for Umberto's writeup; I used that to install my Street Guardian SG9665V3 (model now called SGGCX2) camera. There seem to be many dash cam options and I'm sure a lot of them are good; some with simple features and others on the complex side with wifi, etc. I went with the Street Guardian...

    ECO Light

    I know on my 2015 LR4, it is in the engine bay, opposite the main battery under a plastic cover (so, left side of the vehicle nearest the firewall). Not sure if this is the same for your SDV6. I just had the same issue with the intermittent ECO light. I tried to charge it but my "smart"...

    Another Defender hint?

    Hey so I just picked up my LR4 from the dealer for warranty work and I stopped to visit my sales guy. While any visit to the dealership is typically a painful process, he makes it tolerable. Serious off-road enthusiast and Land Rover (not JLR) loyalist. We've already exchanged thoughts on...

    Preemptive 80K mile service...

    Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but does this Y-pipe issue affect the SCV6 engine?

    Terraincontact A/T

    Would be interested to hear about any loss in mpg. Currently on Duratracs but they are getting NOISY, so it’s between the Nokian WRG3 and TerrainContact. Would love to hear if anyone has snow experience with the Conti.

    LR4 Accessories

    I think it would work; I know if I am more than a foot or two away from the handle it won’t unlock when my wife tries to open the handle nearest to me.

    Lr4 second auxiliary battery size and model.

    Felix, great timing. A couple weeks ago, my eco mode unavailable light started coming on and then going off intermittently. Being a bit over three years old, I thought it may be a problem with the "motorcycle battery" used for the eco start/stop system. The battery would not take a charge or...

    LR4 Seats and Interior rattles

    I should clarify that it only started after a visit to the dealer for a new windshield. I blame them.

    Battery and Voltage

    It’s holding fairly steady at 13.7

    LR4 Seats and Interior rattles

    Oh man, and I thought I was the only one who is bothered by the interior noises. You are right on target with the inter plastics; just a gentle push anywhere emits a horrible creak. However my real nemesis happens to be the passenger seat. For the longest time I couldn't tell if it was...

    Battery and Voltage

    I want to say I see 13.4 to 13.8 normally but will take notice and send an update on the way home.

    Michilin, Goodyear or Nokian? (19")

    Thanks for that info, cperez...I was all set with the WRG3 until I got to the part about being directional! Do you just rotate tires front-to-back, then back-to-front?

    Restoring roofrack side rail bars after Isopropyl damage

    I know this is too late, but here is a post about the product I used to clean my stained roof rails: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/roof-rails-premature-aging.29524/#post-179399 I'm fairly certain the rails are black anodized and you may find a plating shop that would be willing to...

    Michilin, Goodyear or Nokian? (19")

    Thanks for this very timely post, Toddjb122, as I am almost in the market for tires as well. I have it narrowed it down to the Nokian WRG3 and Continental TerrainContact, but you do offer a fair point about the Michelins...I have always had excellent things to say about the LTX (had these on...

    GONE - 2015 Factory Side Steps - Free (pickup only in northern NJ)

    I just put sliders on, so if anyone wants a pair of factory side steps / running boards let me know...would rather give away than throw away.

    OEM Continental 4 x 4 Contact 255/55R19

    From my 2015 LR4 purchased in April 2015. Tires were removed and stored indoors in July 2015 with about 3k miles on them. Spare has never been used but still on the vehicle...I'm getting new tires soon so if you want that too give me a few days. If you like these tires, then great, but also...

    Hail Damage Repair in CO for LR?

    Ugh, I went through a similar (though not baseball-sized hail!) experience recently n NJ. From what you describe it will most likely need body work. We had some high straight-line wind storms right before a massive thunderstorm (it felt apocalyptic) and it caught me when I was halfway home...

    Dual Battery Install in 2014+

    I don't have time to search now but I do recall reading a post a while back about a member with a SCV6 who was able to make some room and install a 2nd battery.

    The mods begin...

    C-pillar looks great! I had a white loaner a while ago and I was thinking that this exact treatment would make it look much better...breaks up the mass of the rear section. There very well could be a gray diesel D5 in my future...at least when I need to retire my LR4. I thought I read...

    Bike Racks!!! Any ideas?

    1) Very easy; two bolts. I think I remember seeing in the documentation that you add up to three "add-on" units to a double for a total of five bikes (but that would be SUPER-long). 2) Hardware does not extend below LR hitch and it angles upwards. Check out the third photo in Preetsarai's...

    LR4 Replacments...

    Just got caught up on this thread. Probably my most favorite car owned was my B6 S4 wagon. 6-speed in Dolphin Grey. I sold it in 2010 after realizing it was a tad too small for my growing family. Of course now I keep saying, "We could have made it work"...lol. It did everything I wanted...

    don't touch that throttle body

    I'm also wondering that if there was some air leakage when throttle body is closed (such as at idle) it might help raise the "low idle" rpm issue a few ticks higher. Wishful thinking?

    Anyone with ProSpeed sliders?

    Thanks everybody for the comments. @toddjb122, your rig looks great and it does look like the Voyagers would be great for my pusposes...was installation straightfrorward? Have you had any creaking that others have mentioned? I'm not sure what the issue is the the compressor cover but I assume...
