Finding the "Sweet Spot" (Statistical Failure Rates)
The V8 LR4s are now at least 10 years old. As a daily driver you are asking a lot from them. As a niche second/third/fourth play vehicle they are supreme. -

LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?

This all sounds correct. Don't chase problems on a LR4. -

2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start
I know you had to get an engine soon after buying. What is the mileage? It is 11 years old and a complex 4x4 vehicle. Outside of the engine the other stuff is just consumables expected on an 11 year old vehicle? -

2012 versus 2015 LR4
and the V6 will have two blanked off cylinders to remind you that Land Rover was nuts. -

2013 to 2014 Face Lift Headlight Install
Something not right. In Canaada our headlights at full power are the DRL option so the bi xenons are on constantly. I replaced my 2010 bulbs in 2016 as a precaution but have never had one burn out otherwise. -

Lem Forder - Control Arms
I went with the meyle HD ones through lucky8. Maybe a smidge more stiff than stock but the bushings are supposed to be more durable. -

Coolant leak from small hose on Waterpump
On the Land Rover scale it is very easy. If unsure take it to a mechanic. -

Overlander Question
Mine got a little skewed because I included the extra set of winter tires and wheels (used from a 2006 Range Rover). Also windshields here are a maintenance item it seems. -

Oh mine is not fuel, that would be depressing. $0.106/km CDN = $0.130 /mile US -

Overlander Question
Bought my 2010 LR4 10 years ago with 70k kms on it. Now at 205k kms and still feels good. It has cost me $0.106 per km to keep it tip top. That is everything: tires, wipers, windshields etc. This is more than most vehicles but it is a special ride, -

Less is more. You don't electricity to go camping as a good cooler will hold ice for 5 days. I camp off my dirt bike and have everything I need to be comfortable with a total weight around 22lbs including the bag that carries it. Takes 5 mins to pack and 10 mins to break camp. Try to keep it... -

Every Fault Known To Man
I found a new Denso (try to avoid remans) for $600 CDN. About $450 US, last summer. OE is Denso. Look for those, don't go through dealer. -

Heavier wheel/LT tire combo "skipping" across pavement?
Unsprung weight is a real killer to ride and handling. That poor stock shock assembly is trying to control the heavier wheel/tire combo. The best solution would be proper shock valving for the increased unsprung weight but that would be $$$$$$. -

Mystery speedometer
Thanks for following up. Strange they went to the trouble of putting a sticker on since you can dispaly MPH on the digital readout on canadian spec gauges. I would much prefer that to digging around in the instrument cluster. -

Oil Change Just Because It's Been 18 Months?
Get it out on the highway and get that oil good and hot to drive out moisture. I think you are fine...
