    Part Number Needed...

    I also found this part# for the LR4 Or maybe they switched in the RRS badge at the end? I think that one is 1mm smaller.

    Part Number Needed...

    I only see LR023296, some places they show green, others silver black when searching that number, you'll have to double check before they ship it!

    That sounds like complete covfefe to me!

    06 LR3- Sunroof Left Open - Transmission Fault

    The same thing happened to me and based on what you describe, it is likely the shifter assembly harness causing the issue. Water seems to run down that harness and very quickly short something out on the board. Did you pull that particular harness off? It is possible it is still a fixable...

    Great work, thanks for sharing! It will surely save someone from 2-3 years of madness down the road!

    Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.

    I had a similar issue with my DII. Previous owner had the fuel pump module replaced among many other things. I would get check engine light in my case, but occassionally smelled gas, but not a lot. Shop went with DMTL valve replacement, light was off about two weeks, then came back. Then...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Looks like you can get a rear locker at a semi-reasonable price point, just under 57K. http://www.hennessyauto.com/New-2017-Land-Rover-Discovery-HSE-Alpharetta-GA/vd/44386073 On the other hand, I see some HSE LUX ones that are just over 85K and somehow 2 managed to show up exceeding $90k...

    coolant leaking in LR4

    That I do not know. I would assume (like with an AC system), that dyes could have some long term impact to the coolant properties, so I would just plan on flushing it out and adding new coolant once the issue is found and repaired. It's not highly expensive stuff.

    coolant leaking in LR4

    Yes, you can add a dye to the coolant and use a UV light to see where drips may be originating. You can pressure test with the engine off and cold, which makes it easier to poke around with your fingers in places. The dye would need to run through the system with the engine running, although...

    coolant leaking in LR4

    I have topped up all of our cars (Saab, LR3, RR, and former DII) that use Dexcool many times. I have pressure tested several times, sometimes there IS a leak and sometimes there is not. I have no idea where the stuff goes - it drives me crazy everytime I see one of the vehicles get low. I...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I keep telling my wife we need to get over to the dealer to take a look at the D5, but she seems disinterested (and she loves everything LR). She actually seems more fixated on restoring a DII as that is her favorite body style. Anyway, a new Land Cruiser drove in front of us the other day...

    Hold my beer...LR4 gets stuck, goes viral

    This was a snippet from the news. The lights flashing is probably just the LED effect on the camera, but the high pitch noise may be trouble - it looks like they stopped somewhere to check it out..

    Gear Box Not in Park Warning!

    Not sure if they are sharing the same "new" software as the new Discovery or not but it is the same issue over in the UK right now. https://disco5.co.uk/forum/thread498.html

    Gear Box Not in Park Warning!

    I dont blame you! It is probably a June timeframe because they have their full staff working on all the new Discovery software bugs. They have a dedicated team in place for the first several months of production to help iron out all the inevitable kinks that come with a new vehicle platform...

    Duratrac S or Q speed rating

    The 255/55/19 Duratrac that I bought two years was product code 150663574 and was Q rated. The tire disappeared for a short time and when it came back the product code changed to 150884574 and was briefly listed as S rated, but then I thought it went back to Q. I found one site with both Q...

    Drove the new Discovery and I'm totally confused now.

    Land Rover sees Diesel as better option than Petrol (http://autoweek.com/article/diesel/jaguar-land-rover-doubles-down-diesel), but there is a reason that Tesla is the most valuable car maker in the world despite having only a tiny fraction of a percent of total vehicle sales, the Wall St gurus...

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    I do not know about the LR4 specs, but my LR3 is at 145,000 miles and so far it has had 8 oil changes in its liftetime. I am the 3rd owner since 96k, but records provided show 14k, 33k, 52k, 73k, 96k, 107k, 119k, and 139k. 14k, 33k, and 96k were with dino oil as that was the spec in 08 and...

    Spare 19" rim?

    You can post in the classifieds as "wanted" and someone may pop up out of the woodwork. You can also try Roverland Parts. They run sales frequently and if you call in, they can often do better than what is on the website. I am not sure which style you are after, they may or may not have it...

    About those Plastic Windshield ticket tabs...

    Neither our 08 LR3 or 08 RR has this, but out Saab does. Although I could come up with potential uses for it, I was never really sure what its intended purpose was. I have never used it, and I have pulled hard on it to remove it, but it would not budge, so it is still there. It does not seem...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    I asked Goodyear this question and they said this tire was specifically made for Land Rover, so I suspect it has something to do with the compound used and what they were after when they requested it. However, the same 255/55/19 tire sold in other locations (such as Scotland) that is made in...

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    My wife routinely drives over 100mph in her RR with the 255/55/19 Duratrac tires with no issues (thankfully!). She has about 15,000 miles on them now and they are a little bit louder than when new for sure. She does not care, I find the noise a little intrusive, but not terrible. The RR is...

    Add 1 Quart of Oil after 6000 miles

    My 04 Disco burned 1 quart every 400 miles! Not a drop anywhere (well, an occassional drop), ran fine for the 3 years I had it, no smoke, etc. I fed it Techron, Seafoam, and BG44K like candy to be safe. It had a rebuilt engine, but no one could ever figure out why it used so much with no...

    Octane

    Around here most stations have 3 grades: 87, 89, and 92 or 93 and the price differential between 87 and 93 varies between $.40 and $0.60 more per gallon, so it does add up with a vehicle that gets 13-15mpg (my LR3). I run 93 but recently found a Sunoco station that has 4 grades including 91 and...

    Slider Comparison; anyone used either of these?

    I don't know about a lift, but you can now have your car valet parked and get a car wash for $10 at the King of Prussia mall. Go shop and eat and have your car washed, convenience services are getting out of hand!
