Saying goodbye to an albatross
Just got a 3k bill on my 08 LR3 for Christmas, rear control arms and bushings, brake caliper went, rear rotors and brakes, thermostat housing developed a crack, and while in there the belt tensioners had a lot of play so I replaced those and belts. 4 years and 55,000 miles since I have had it... -
Engine oil analysis results on 2010 LR4 V8
Well, that would explain why every time I get an oil change using Mobil 1 5W30 on my LR3 that I see no change in the oil level for quite some time and then suddenly it starts using a little oil the closer I get to the next change. It was boggling my mind for years! -

LR5 Release Updates?
Well that 2009 Freelanderish Evoque gives me hope! I like the D5 tailgate insert, it does look better that way.- catman

LR5 Release Updates?
Did anyone see this Defender spy shot page yet? It seems to follow right on the heels of Gerry McGovern speaking about it, so I am wondering if these are legit shots? I am not sure what to even think as he keeps saying the Defender will look different than the others, yet in these photos, it...- catman

What is the loading height of a LR3?
Unfortunately, my LR3 is currently in the shop for inspection, so I cannot measure accurately for you. But I have 3 dogs and can tell you that my Chihuahua cannot make the jump, even in access height! :) My 35lb pit/boxer mix could make the jump a few years ago, but he is now 17 and we lift... -
steering wheel shakes at 60+mph
I have a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W on my LR3 and I have the same issue, only I am good until about 70mph. I had mine road force balanced and they really struggled to get within the parameters they like, so I am pretty sure one (or more) of the tires is slightly out-of-round. It's frustrating... -
Pricing Differences for 2013 vs earlier (big changes?)
There is indeed a jump between 2012 ans 2013, but it is not a great as it used to be. There is nothing substancial bewtween 2012 and 2013 to warrant the increase, it is indeed (in my opionion) completely related to 2013 being the last year of the V8 and gear shifter and every vehicle having the... -
2-Speed Transfer Case 2016 LR4
Looks like the D5 pricing is going up a bit for 2018... https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1113739_land-rover-discovery-sees-price-rise-for-2018 -
2-Speed Transfer Case 2016 LR4
The 2018 D5 is scheduled to go into production on Monday, so I would hold out for that if you go that route, there were a lot of kinks being ironed out this year and it will probably save you a lot of trips to the dealer if you wait. Not sure if the used D4's will drop in price slightly with... -
I give up...
They should have called Xzibit for a special "Pimp My Ride" episode, could have been a lot more fun. -
Android integrated with factory screen
I don't think the lack of detail is really that surprising. I put a custom Rosen DVD/Nav unit in my FJ Cruiser and even though they are a more or less "well-known" custom manufacturer, I had a heck of a time getting any support or details on the unit. All I ever got a was a 2 line email from a... -
How is your new D5?
There is no point in complaining at this point, the evolution of LR is well under way. It's a long process growing from niche player, to small market player, to mid market player, to leading the pack, and each jump along the way will require more changes we probably will not like. That's just...- catman

Discovery SVX
Here is the media page in case anyone has not already found it. The little orange X on the shifter is a bit over the top to me, but I do like the shifter verus the rotary knob... -
My LR4 next to a new Discovery...
Similar to a new Windows operating system, there is now a complete "service pack 1" rollup of updates for the D5. And, like Windows, some updates to fix problems have caused new problems and have been pulled pending a new fix. Technology is tough no matter how you slice it, but over time it... -

Mirror Reverse Dip stopped working...
I'll have to investigate more thoroughly and report back on this. The whole seat memory system is glitchy. The memory buttons have a way a suddenly changing postions on their own. They will work for months and then suddenly one day all of the presets go to different positions. Sometimes the... -
Mirror Reverse Dip stopped working...
Is there a way to undo a programmed FOB setting without going to the dealer? On our 08 RR everytime I grab the "spare FOB" and unlock the doors the driver seat goes all the way back and almost all the way down. I presume the previous owner did this and he must have been the size of Andre the... -
How is your new D5?
I would not bother sitting $2K with a dealer on this. The UK forum is littered with upset early order people who received their new Discovery well after the launch and some new uncommited ones were sitting on lots available for purchase. Dealers always ask for money down, but I have never paid...- catman

LR5 Release Updates?
I have been seeing a lot of Discovery commercials lately, they don't spend money unless they have to. In this case, they need to reach that new demographic and it will take some time and a lot of commercials I suspect. I think noticed sales were about flat in July (848) compared to June at 845...- catman

Keeping Audio on without Engine running
Oh yes, I killed my battery many times tailgating at concerts when I was younger. Fortunately I always had manual transmission cars and it's pretty easy to get a bunch of people together to push-jump a car in a stadium parking lot! What I hate in my LR3 is that the radio automatically reduces... -
Thoughts on sunroof drain tube issues?
I replaced my cowl on my LR3 AND used silicone underneath to hold it down and within a year it started to pull/bow out from the windshiled in the same spot, but the silicone underneath seems to be keeping water out for now. If I have a break-through again (water in passenger footwell) I will... -
