    Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?

    Well, Jim Ratcliffe is worth roughly 18 billion and Elon Musk is worth roughly 83 billion, but Jim Ratcliffe does not have to fund a Space Company, so they are not too far apart in my book - he seems to have the resources to make it work, if he really wants to go all the way.

    Another Defender hint?

    The black out of the silver bits is much nicer, but I still kinda like the squared off look:

    LR4 vs Defender

    :dito: I was driving along and suddenly I noticed a silver Defender at a stoplight across from me heading the opposite direction. Definately did not jump out as anything special, just another modern SUV on the road. I kept hearing how much better it is in person, but nope, it did nothing for...

    Transmission Fault Limited Gears Available

    I agree, I only left my sunroof open 1 time and it rained hard for 20 min. When I got in, I did not think ANY water got inside as everything was bone dry. I assumed the sunroof drains caught it all and it was a non-issue to have left it open. I tried to leave and started having weird issues...

    DIY LR3 catalytic converter replacement - how difficult?

    Do you have a code reader and has the light been reset? It sounds like you have but I am just checking, I had this code pop up once on my 08 LR3 with 170K while on the highway, I used my IIDTool to reset it (an Ultraguage or similar will also work) and it has never come back on (about a year...

    Emotional buy alert - need help now!

    For whatever reason I have seen quite a few of the early RR diesels listed as the cheapest RR's when searching. Not 100% sure why but they do seem like great deals at this point and $37k sure sounds like a great price. Heck I am may have to check one out myself...

    Excessive rolling when turning or at speed

    It is not clear if these summer tires are new or ones you took off last year and the mechanic just swapped them back on. Did anyone check for any tire damage or the air pressures in the tires?

    Parts Catalog / Diagrams websites?

    The other dealer site to try is https://www.landrovermerriamparts.com/ Check them all out, it can vary by part and/or sales going on.

    Another Defender hint?

    Hey, your right, I had not noticed the rear tire is not on the LR image that was leaked before the reveal. I guess that makes the split-gate and option, but it would seem like an extra expense to produce an entirely different gate for just one trim, unless it is indeed going to be very...

    Another Defender hint?

    It takes a quirky person to find all the little quirks of each vehicle, that is why he has his niche. I also agree the 130 will be nice, I feel like I would need/want the extra foot of space in the boot if I had the option.

    TPMS Question Regarding replacing Tires

    If you have the tires off and they are 10 years old, I would replace them (unless you are willing to turn off the TPMS system using the IIDTool or similar if they act up). They eventually develop tiny cracks from age and you can end up with slow air leaks even if the sensor itself it still...

    Since when is 5.3 or 5.8 seconds 0-60 not fast in an SUV? He must be a bit jaded by selling his bi-turbo wagon.

    Another Defender hint?

    It looks like pickings will be slim for a while, aparently only a few hundred have been sent. I don't suppose custom orders will be shipped until the next wave makes it's wave to the US...

    Tire Sensor?

    I disabled my wife's 08 RR TPMS using the Gap tool for the same reason.

    Another Defender hint?

    Land Rover's website shows 5 Defenders for the entire US right now, so I am guessing they are on trucks enroute to various dealers. Will definately have to check one out - from various commentary it seems pictures do not quite do the thing justice. LR Alexandria shows 5 with 3 sold. The 2...

    3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?

    As someone said, ask 3 mechanics and get 3 answers. Previous owner told me his friend worked for some oil company and he told him that modern oils would easily last 20k of highway driving (which the previous owner mostly did) no problem. Who knows. My 08 LR3 has had oil changes at: 11K, 22k...

    They say the V8 is not part of the SVO division, just a regular production car that will be coming to compete with the G-Wagon crowd. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/exclusive-land-rover-v8-defender-revealed-spy-shots

    Transmission Fault Limited Gears Available

    Even though you cleaned the connector, it could be the shifter assembly itself, in which case there is no way to replace the circuit board inside, you would have to order the part itself, which comes with a new shifter cable as well. The part number is UCB500072...

    Well if there are a lot of cancellations, you may get your 110 sooner!

    I am sure there will be some delays: Nitra-based carmaker Jaguar Land Rover plans to resume its production on May 18. It was suspended on March 20.

    Another Defender hint?

    Maybe doing some early testing for the 130 too, I would think the upper end of that one would have a V8 option for sure. Put that in the 90 and I bet some people would pay top dollar for it!
