    Same snows I have, they do have their limitations. Then again I have only wheeled on my 20" wheels. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

    Stock Wheels: Keep or Sell?

    :)What snow tires are you running? My Bridgestones are almost as aggressive as my Cooper Zeon's

    Stock Wheels: Keep or Sell?

    $1500 is a great price!! I would have jumped all over that. You could have financed another set of "backup" wheel ;) They go for $500-800 around here, with newish tires and immaculate wheels. For reference you can pick up a set of 18" LR3 wheels with good tires for a little over $400, in very...

    Stock Wheels: Keep or Sell?

    I hear ya on the wheel/tire pain. I have 2 full sets of wheel tires, for my LR4, BMW i3 (Wife's), Winter tires/wheels for a BMW 325Xi (car is gone, but still have a set of winter tires/rims), and a set of early 2000 Jaguar XKR 2 Piece BBS wheels (I'll part with some day)... and I think I have a...

    Are these OEM or > Quality Brakes?

    I just did my second pad swap in October 2016 (second set of pads on the EBC rotors). The rotors are still well within specification. No checking, pitting or cracks forming around the dimples or slots. There is a bit more dust with the EBC, but I have converted all my vehicles to them, given...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I like the idea of the "Rover Cafe". It would be like a monastery high in the mountains, a place of peace and worship.. only for Land Rovers. Hard to get to but worth the journey :D Although given the vastness of our country it would be hard to pick the right spot. You are correct with the...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I've stayed away from Disco 5 debate; what it is, what it isn't... However i can say this, it has grown on me for sure. Last May I was in the Solihull factory (without being too specific, my work has something to do with the rivet guns that bond the aluminum panels ;)) I cam across 3 Disco 5...

    I've Been An Idiot

    Surf, that is very true. I know what the problem was prior to sending to the dealer. But I had no time to fix. Good thing is it probably saved me 1-2 hours in labor. Lesson learned for sure. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

    I've Been An Idiot

    I was a "professional" mechanic for over 7 years (Jaguar and Land Rover Certified, hence the user name ;)). That's why this is so hard to come to terms with. I'll blame it on lack of practice for now. I have saved a ton over the years doing my own work, also was sure this was the problem prior...

    Not as bad as it could have been. Thankfully it's salvageable. Still so mad at myself Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

    I've Been An Idiot

    So as some can recall my numerous post about electrical issues with my LR4. I had narrowed it down to a CAN Network failure. Given the faults, and their commonality it was the only logical explanation. I started to look for a indication of a broken harness, failed connector, or a bad module...

    ABS Sensor

    ABS Sensor

    Has anyone else had a failed rear ABS sensor? I have had an intermittent issues with the LR4 basically becoming useless. No ABS, TC, DSC, TR, and suspension sitting on bump stops. At first I was told is was the battery by the dealer. It was replaced less than a year ago, so it was replaced...

    LR4 single speed transfer case

    From (the rest can correct me) 2015 on, if you didn't order the HD package you only got a single speed transfer case. Before that the HD package only included the rear locking Diff. my 2011 does not have the HD package, but does have the 2 speed transfer case (standard equipment in the states)...

    High Range to Low Range Scarry Feeling

    Simple rules of engaging low range, and Terrain response passed on to me from a Land Rover instructor, and long time adventurist/explorer - Never engage low range while the vehicle is moving in any modern Land Rover. The LR4 (as well as most modern vehicles) use an electric solenoid...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Price seems ok, not too high/low seems about what they are going for now. The radio is a bit tricky because you have to deal with the network in the vehicle as well. I get the "simplicity" of how it should work, but it would require not only a software update but a hardware update as well...

    A little Help

    It does happen right at startup. I have ordered a switch, but also an appointment at the local dealer. It had a new battery about 1 year ago, but it is possible it has gone sour already. I will let everyone know what the fix ends up being. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

    A little Help

    Normally I am very capable of diagnosing my own vehicle, but right now I am 3500 miles from it and my wife is driving the LR4 (2011). before I left it was getting an intermittent Air Suspension fault, driving modes unavailable as well. Pulled the codes, and got a EAS Module communication issue...

    Showoff Your LR4

    I am running a 20" wheels for now. I am going to switch to 18" for my summer/AT tires, and 20" for my snow only in the near future. I eill get a picture up soon.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Wider contact patch, trade off for the lower sidewall. The main reason for deflating tires when off roading is to increase the contact patch to increase weight distribution, and "floatation". With the lower profile tire, airing down becomes a significant issue. Going with a wider tire, means you...

    LR4 Clicking Noise from Engine

    Did that seem to fix the sound? Or was it something LR threw it to say they did something? Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk
