Help in Denver Area- Disco Inspection
Just pay for a professional inspection. Should only be $200 and there should be lots of shops in denver who should be close enough to wherever the car is located. This plus the service history should be enough info to base your purchasing decision off of. If the car doesn't have a service... -
Engine swap
Washington State got rid of smog Testing as of Jan 1st 2020, apparently the air is cleaner now than when they started testing in 1982. Good news for us car guys! I'm not too concerned about torque, if I go offroad it's mostly down service roads or snow covered roads that haven't been plowed... -
Lucky 8 LR4 ARB Rear Locker
https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/lr4-factory-locker-swap.218167/page-3 This guy recently did a factory locker swap and documented it, seems pretty involved but should be the cleanest solution. -
Brake question
I've been running Max Brake Pads & Rotors for the last 25k miles and they have been great, low dust, no noise. affordable. I'm not sure what brakes were on the car when I bought it, I'm assuming OEM but they were louder and created way more dust. -
Engine swap
I've got a D2 in my shop that I bought without a motor. I had intended to put a R2.8 Cummins motor paired with an 8 speed transmission in it as there are a couple of them running around but the cost/complexity is making it so I wouldn't be able to tackle the project anytime soon. I've... -
LR4 to Disco 5
Yeah it's looking like the 2018-2020 Diesels are going to be the model to have.- DirtyHal

Manual & Oil Change
Do you have any pictures you can upload of the bolts in question? Regarding the leak could it be the vacuum pump? https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/help-its-smoking.42151/page-2 -
Lr4 secondary Belt Install?
I have never done it, there's a ton of options out there. Maybe ask the guys at Atlantic British or Lucky8 what they use. -

2011 LR4 Pricing
If you're not afraid to pay shipping costs you can open your search up nationwide. I paid an extra $1700 to have my LR4 shipped up from Florida to WA but it was totally worth it IMO, got exactly what I wanted. The mechanical history was solid and it came with a short used car warranty. Upon... -

I'd keep looking, tons of high mileage LR4's out there to choose from. -
LR4 compressor guard options?
Have you called Lucky8 to see if they can just order it for you? I think they get regular shipments from prospeed so I don’t think it would be too hard to have one thrown in... -

2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise
I'm fairly certain it's just the fan clutch. At one point I had my mechanic check it out and they said the chains were fine. Also, the noise from a loose timing chain is quite a bit different. My Oil Anecdote was in relation to the OP's cold start concerns, I think the Liqui Moly ceratec... -
2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise
Mine makes that same ticking noise, and has since I bought it 2.5years and 60k miles ago. on my last oil change I switched to the liqui moly 0w-20 and I used their Motor oil flush, ceratec and motor oil saver products as well. The engine is now significantly quieter. I plan on sending a... -
BD Squadron fog lights
That's awesome! I was just looking at their lights the other day. Which beam pattern did you use? -
Any ideas what this is??
FWIW I asked this same question at my local dealership, and they also said it doesn't matter where it is as long as it's secure. You can zip tie it to w/e as long as it is secure and not in the way of something else. -

Considering a 2014 LR4 Lux Package.... Need Some Advice
When you park the car and lock it for the night the air suspension will self-level, you'll hear a hiss as you get out. It's not going to sink dramatically but it will adjust slightly. The car tries to stay level so it will keep adjusting itself if there is a leak somewhere in the system. To... -
Considering a 2014 LR4 Lux Package.... Need Some Advice
That’s a good point, haha I didn’t really touch on why we all put up with this. They really are amazing vehicles. They drive well on road and off, in all weathers and conditions. There’s a ton of storage, air suspension (which has a lot of benefits), great towing abilities, A fairly large... -
Considering a 2014 LR4 Lux Package.... Need Some Advice
I'm guessing so but if I were you I would just call my local indy shop and get a quote. -
Considering a 2014 LR4 Lux Package.... Need Some Advice
I would have the crossover pipes and water pump replaced and the rest of those items can be handled as they occur. They are actually pretty reliable cars, albeit expensive to maintain. I bought my 2011 with 62k miles on it about 2.5 years ago and I have put 64k miles on it without any issues... -
2020 Defender Drive Impressions.
I imagine the 130 will keep the same styling as the 110, it would be kind of weird from a design language point of view to have two models in the same line that look different not only in size and scale but aesthetically as well. In better news sounds like the V8 that is coming won't be a BMW...- DirtyHal

5.0 Reman Engine Supplier
Could you elaborate on the Re-sleeving and why that is not possible? Not trying to argue or anything, just trying to learn! :) I was doing some researching this morning and re-sleeving aluminum blocks seems relatively common? I couldn't find anything specific about Land Rover 5.0 engines...
