    maintenance history since new 2013

    True enough. Until they don’t and the catalytic converters get fouled.

    3rd Row Seat removal (leather part only)

    You inspired me to go and take a look…. the locking in place is done at the frame… and not even a “bounce” absorbed by the cushions. I hope I haven’t contributed to some kind of illicit transport business;)

    maintenance history since new 2013

    @MRLR4, I’m afraid to expose the obvious…. I’m not sure you have a well “maintained“ vehicle. And the $6500 price tag should have been a warning bell. I think its more along the lines that scheduled maintenance was ignored and it only went into the shop when there was a failure. That’s not...

    Long crank, no faults

    All these years later… applying the technique of starting a carburetor fed engine, to a fuel injected engine managed by an ecm; will never bade well.

    where is everybody

    Or is everyone like me and enjoys a basically trouble free LR2? ok ok, there is that coolant leak…. again. But it is going in. Cheers All!

    Increased Performance

    Yes…. but the size does make good sense. If there is an air suspension failure and the vehicle is on the stops… you can still drive it. If you oversize too far, you’ll be stuck. And that would really suck if you were in the deep back 40.

    Increased Performance

    :). yes, the xkr, xjr and s-type R can burn the rubber right off the tires (love those Eaton superchargers). All it costs is more gas. Lots of it. I have a very healthy resume of off road driving, all over the world. The LR4 is too heavy as a rally vehicle… so I won’t be needing that extra hp...

    Increased Performance

    And I change the supercharger fluid at 50k km intervals. I can’t see the value of slotted and drilled rotors, off road in these vehicles. Though I use low gears in low on the transfer box as opposed to the brakes. I haven’t had a need for more hp. And I have pressed in incline level limits. Are...

    Increased Performance

    :). back to “what are you using your LR4 for” I have pulleys, tunes, cats on the xjr and xkr. But they are road cars and this adds a layer of “delicacy” and therefore “maintenance” to the car. Is that what you want for an LR4? to drag between stop lights?? I use mine off road. and I want...

    Increased Performance

    LR used premium components when building this vehicle. Even todays engines are significantly better (efficient lighter, more HP /displacement, torque…) than engines of just 20 years ago. The air suspension is quite robust. Consider how old most these vehicles are, the environment in which...

    Affixing rear heater lines

    Why change the heater lines? They look fine. I did use nylon zip ties with a loop on the end that I used for a stainless screw. I tapped holes for the screw. Imho, it should have done like this in the first place.

    Ironman 4x4 Drawers

    Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4

    we use blizzaks, x-ice, conti wintercontacts. funny how we all rate these tires differently. I have driven with studs and chains/straps, and I’ll take the straps over the studs in snow any day. On ice, the studs.

    whine on cold start

    Not there to listen to the different components… so, ‘yes’ to any of the mentioned, and more. Nonetheless, I’d get it fixed as opposed to wait for the fail.

    Battery rundown protection?

    hmmm, are you certain you heard the fuel pump by opening the door and not depressing the start button?? I have my doubts…

    Battery rundown protection?

    I am certain that the ecu is not fired up until the start button is pressed as stated in the owners manual. Now I need to double check that. I do like the idea of segregating via a switched fuse…. so many fuses in so many locations… it might turn into one of those lifetime projects, lol.

    Affixing rear heater lines

    Just venting…. Who was the engineer that scoped thin gauge metal to affix the heater lines along the body to the rear heater…. news flash, they are all rusted out. I’m thinking of using nylon zip ties screwed to the body. Anyone have a better idea? Cheers.

    Greasy transmission, should I be worried?

    A term written in all military manuals, lol.

    ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?

    Perhaps… In a previous life, I would frequently drive all kinds of military vehicles. I appreciated the many gears. As all of us know, despite the current theme and trend, regular maintenance is paramount. Not servicing any transmission or cooling system is death. Avoiding overheating is not...

    Battery rundown protection?

    Press and hold the center button on the overhead console until the interior lights flash. You have now just disabled the interior lights coming on with the opening of a door. Press and hold again to enable. Some old habits die hard…. I always shut off all accessories prior to shutting down the...

    Advice needed, stalling with P2279 (intake air system leak) 2012 LR4 HSE 5.0 138,xxx miles

    Can you imagine… the original response of “you need a new engine”. Unfreakingbelievable.

    Tires

    Where I live, you won’t get away with All Seasons unless you are only fair weather, paved road driving in a maintained area. So, its x-ice for the winter and pirelli scorpion all terrains for the summer, for now.
