    Factory Wheels. Opinions?

    Sixshooter, My 2012 came with the 20" Black/Polished wheels. I bought 19" wheels to use for snow tires. Besides styling, I like the 20" because it's a little easier to clean and the black inlay hides brake dust very good. Plus, you don't see a lot of the 20" wheels on the LR4s.

    Window Tint Specs

    In the event that you are thinking about tinting the windows on your LR4, I thought the following specs would be beneficial. Sorry for the formatting- I don't know how to make a table in a post. DESCRIPTION LIGHT TRANSMISSION % SOLAR TRANSMISSION % Wind Shield 82 58 Front Door...

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    I've had the oil, filter, filter socket, Snap-On 3/8" TechAngle torque wrench (for torquing the filter housing back on), 2" extension and MityVac sitting in my garage for the past 3 months waiting to put enough miles on mine to make it worth changing. With 4,000 miles on the odometer and this...

    Land Rover maintenance

    Yes. Cadillac has a similar program available, but I don't know that it comes on all models and all years. It is in effect on my 2011 CTS-V and that reminds me that I need to get the cabin filters replaced.

    2012 LR4 review

    Nicely written. I think you pretty well pegged it.

    Major bonehead move

    It seems like there may be a good opportunity for someone to make something purpose built stays permanently mounted at the correct jacking point. It wouldn't have to be very high profile, but might simplify things. Heck, with compressor, a built in jack might even be possible.

    Lr4 Brakes

    Just a question and sorry if I missed it. For those of us with 2012 LR4s- Do we have the improved rotors and brakes?

    Part question for broken 3rd row seat belt lever

    When attempting to stow the 3rd row seats, I noticed that one of the seat backs would not go down because the seat belt (the receptacle end) was still sticking up. I looked at the other side and saw that there is a lever that retracts the seat belt so that the seat back doesn't close up on the...

    Offroading Video

    Thanks! That makes me feel better.. definitely more confident in mine. I highly doubt I'll need to go anywhere that is more demanding that in your video.

    Offroading Video

    Jamgolf, That was awesome man! I do have two questions. Do you have the HD package with the locking rear differential? Just curious as I didn't get it on my 2012 and am wondering if mine is as capable as what you're doing there? If you do have the HD package, did you notice if your rear...

    Normal Air Compressor operation

    I hear mine running upon start up sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Mud Flaps

    Go for it. As stated, it's best to have a ratchet and bit as even a stubby screwdriver is pushing it when it comes to space. The fronts can be installed basically as fast as you can remove a couple of screws and reinstall them. The back probably took me 45 minutes because there was what...

    Should I Go For It?

    I have a LR dealer 100 miles away and another one 160 miles away. I bought from the further one because of their loaner policy- for $100 they will pick it up, drop off a loaner and bring it back when done. I'm sure most people looking to buy a new $60 - $70K vehicle would rather shell out...

    Dealers who can sell / ship Castrol SLX 5w-20

    Just a fyi. I wasn't able to find it on here, but the correct filter wrench/cap to access the filter is the Assenmacher AHJA9015 90mm 15-flats Jaguar Oil Filter Wrench.

    Dealers who can sell / ship Castrol SLX 5w-20

    Update: Although I firmly believe that Overblown is correct in his assessment, I wanted to stick with the factory recommended oil at least until I get my "free" oil change at the first 15K miles. Since I plan on this being a keeper, I want to change the oil out after the first 2500 miles or so...

    Dealers who can sell / ship Castrol SLX 5w-20

    Unfortunately, there are no Land Rover dealers within 125 miles that sell the recommended oil (Castrol SLX 5w-20) by the quart- they have bulk only. I've tried searching here and elsewhere, but don't seem to be able to find it on the net. Please post any info if you are aware of a dealer who...

    TPMS Frequency for 2012 LR4?

    Thanks Expat, I have confirmed the same thing through the parts department. 315mhz it is.

    LR4 Tow Assist - does it exist?

    Okay, not to thread jack, but since we are talking about towing... Does TSA or Land Rover Trailer Stability Assist have to be enabled in order to work? I am of the impression that the camera system (which I don't have) is not required for that to work, but was wondering if it comes from the...

    TPMS Frequency for 2012 LR4?

    The title pretty much ask it. I have ordered a set of wheels to use as winter tires and would like to know what frequency I need for the TPMS to work properly. Thanks in advance! ---------------------------------- Land Rover dealer confirmed that 2012 LR 4 uses TPMS sending units operating...

    What are the under carriage weights for?

    While I was in the process of installing my mud flaps, I noticed that there is some kind of mechanism just ahead of the bumper that looks like a swinging weight. There is one on each side of the vehicle, but I have no idea what it's for. Could one of you fill me in? Thanks

    HD Radio

    I'm not sure what the update will do for your Sirius. My Sirius was unchanged because it has always worked.

    HD Radio

    I had mine updated today. I think it is called the Q180 HD Radio update or something of that sort. It works wonderfully now. Being my first HD radio, I'm surprised at how many of the local channels broadcast in HD.
