    General grabber 255/55r19

    Well let us know what they say. My wife really liked the General Grabber AT2's on our LR3 (in 18") and would likely opt for the AT3 for her RR over anything else out there in 255/55/19 right now. I may do the same thing you are considering if you have luck with them!

    Your thoughts on these LR4 rims/wheels?

    There is a Rimini red LR4 near me for sale but it has 130,000 miles - I think that is a very sharp looking red in person (not always in pictures).

    DRL 2015 LR4 HSE

    LR is notorious for making random changes - some identical features that can be changed without a dealer on my 08 LR3 cannot be done on my 08 RR and vice-versa. Really makes no sense to me. The 15 manual does not show any process, it just says to contact the dealer. You could show them this...

    Another Defender hint?

    Well I sure hope it would be more than "a little nicer" - 95lb ft of torque and 90mph top speed well get you kiiled on the streets in the US :driver:

    Another Defender hint?

    Now that looks like a Spy Shot. Most of the time these "spy shots" look like prearranged promo shoots from the manufacturers. Looks like a decent amount of cargo room for a 2-door. Bigger than a 2-door Jeep, perhaps like the old 2-door Wrangler Unlimited in size.

    Tpms

    I did the same thing, chronic TPMS light on/off issues in both my LR3 and RR, so I bought an IIDTool and turned off the system.

    Move on or Fix

    I would argue it is worth less than 5-6K on the open market with the present issues you mentioned. It is probably worth 5K after those items are fixed. I think my 08 LR3 with 160,000 miles (and no current issues) would be garner 5K when the deal is actually signed, if I actually tried to sell...

    Your thoughts on these LR4 rims/wheels?

    The LR3 HSE wheels are fairly easy to come by (a lot of people ditched them for 18" wheels). Someone had a perfect unused spare of that wheel (in silver of course) around here on Craigslist for $25 not long ago. I do not know what a "really good price" means, but below are some options to...

    New owner First Service Wrong oil????

    As you know, the oils in the links below are what you want, although I am unsure what the difference is between the Pro and "non-pro" versions. It seems doubtful Volvo would specify the same oil, they do use a Castrol 5W30 in a few engines, but not a C1 that I have seen...

    2014 RR HSE SCV6- Deal?

    That thing looks like it is being passed around like a hot potato - clearly something was not 100% right after the accident. I'd pass on it unless you are inclined to do your own work if something is wrong...

    Transmission Service and Alignment

    I guess I should say that tight tolerance is not required if someone knows what they are doing - my local Indy shop does not use it either for same reasons described in the posts, but he knows exactly what he is doing and what to look for. The indy shop owner only trusts one person at the LR...

    Transmission Service and Alignment

    You don't need to use the tight tolerance mode for alignment - that stemmed from when the LR3 came out and the alignment specs were misprinted. See posts below for details. https://www.rangerovers.net/forum/9-range-rover-sport-l320/148185-four-wheel-alignment.html#post1052914...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    Yokohama now has the Geolandar AT G015 available in stock size, seems like very similar tire to the Conti. https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/geolandar-a-t-g015

    255/55/20 vs 255/50/20

    LR3/LR4 tires are 30" as the stock size, regardless of whether it is 18,19, or 20" wheels. This would be 255/50/20. However, you can safely fit up to about 31.5" before any potential rubbing or modication requirements become part of the equation. 255/55/20 are 31" tires and should fit fine...

    IIDTool CCF issue

    Yes, I had the same issue for one of the functions (would not successfully complete the upload) and it was fixed with a firmware update that I did not know was available for download. Hopefully that is all that is wrong.

    LR3 shift selector problem

    At the time Land Rover Merriam Parts was the cheapest I could find. It comes with the entire cable that goes through the very front of the center console and under the LR3 to the transmission linkage. At the time I could not discern if the old cable could safely be rmoved or not, but once I...

    LR3 shift selector problem

    I could not find any simple way to take the shifter assembly apart - I think it was rivoted together (I could be wrong) and there was a small circuit board at the connector, so it is quite possible the assembly board itself incurred an electrical short which would make cleaning its connector...

    It’s the new Land Rover Defender!

    The short wheel-base version is now running around https://www.autoblog.com/2018/11/05/2020-land-rover-defender-short-wheelbase-spy-photos/?ncid=edlinkusauto00000015

    Tpms

    I believe it is plug and play, but do not hold me to that 100% In 2007 the TPMS may still be up in the overhead console area (where the reading lights are). If not, then it is in the rear headliner above the driver-side rear door (C-Pillar). https://www.landroverworld.org/posts/150414/

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

    LR has had my LR4 for 3 MONTHS!

    Sounds like you need to run away from this place and never look back.

    Control arm question

    You will 100% need an alignment after this work. As for the bushings, if you have the equipment or know a place that can do this, there is no harm in just replacing them on the original control arms. Many people here have just done the bushings and they can chime in as to whether there were...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    An updated on the current and future production of Land Rovers from Just-Auto: September was an uncharacteristically poor month for Land Rover, with deliveries down 19 per cent. That's being blamed on tariff rises in China. Europe and North America are still strong though, and new models should...

    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    {Sorry to the OP for hijacking this thread} Yes they did, all classic cars in their own right now:

    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    There were several different Eagle body styles but I was thinking of this coupe when making the comparison - BMW makes a similar one as well - and everytime anyone I know sees one them they all say they look like the old Eagle. The GLE SUV is not too bad looking - perhaps a bit too glitsy...
