    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    Every single chance I get. I'm a 48 year old hoon. My teen daughters laugh their asses off at their old man skiing park And P-car corner at Casa de Avslash. The 997TT has been visited by the Champion Motorsports fairy with 68mm turbos, intercoolers, etc. It hits boost like a modified...

    I did a thing

    https://www.cascadia4x4.com/collections/vehicle-specific-hood-solar-panel/products/landrover-lr3-lr4-vss-system-100-watt-hood-solar-panel Found it. Thanks. That is very slick. Off to look for connectors to run my existing panel with it when stationary.

    Where did this thing come from? Link? If I can work that with my existing panel, i will be doing your thing too. Nice.

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    Nice! Those are great looking cars. I need to get a 964 at some point. As I'm sure you're aware, the air cooled cars pricing is just nuts at this point. I kick myself for not buying a a 993TT at $60K when I had the chance. I still think of the 964's as the last of the "real" 911's that would...

    LR4 - LCA - Longevitiy/Diagnostic

    Interesting. I didn't come across that in my research before doing mine. If I pop a rear arm at some point, I will let you guys know.

    Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?

    I don't think they see the Defender as a competitor. Different price point, fixed roof, foreign, etc. Their chief competitor (the Wrangler) has a similar anemic tow rating. I think they probably think they are golden.

    Air suspension leak issue

    From memory, so forgive any slight oversights. Disclaimer - I can never remember what the factory fittings that connect the air lines are called. I think they are "bsf" fittings. If not, my apologies. The kit is dirt simple. It consists of 20 or so feet of extra air line. 4 quick...

    Air suspension leak issue

    Just dumb luck on my part, is what it sounds like. I will take it. I have been on the losing end many times. Glad you got some recompence, though.

    Air suspension leak issue

    I remember reading your story. I ordered their adjustable rods and the emergency air kit years ago and had no issues though. For anyone looking to replicate the air kit, it is entirely possible to source the parts and replicate it yourself.

    AC Compressor replaced @ 115k Miles

    I've had more than 1 guy ask me isn't that Rover hard to work on? In relative terms... Yeah, no. The 997TT HVAC does function like a real car though. The progression of the 911 from the air cooled cars to the water cooled cars is massive. And a bit sad at the same time.

    Rear Roof Glass Replacement near Seattle, WA

    Body shop to weld in sheet metal for a permanent fix? That's only half said in jest. I have never like that big pane of glass up there.

    AC Compressor replaced @ 115k Miles

    At the risk of jinxing myself, I haven't worked on an AC system in years. Can you even recharge it yourself nowadays? Last time I touched an AC was in 2008 or 2009 when I had to dig into the system on my 993. It still runs as cold as those air cooled cars are likely to get, so I must have...

    Considering a 2014 LR4 Lux Package.... Need Some Advice

    1. Don't worry about it. Fix it when it leaks. 2. Change them before 75K miles. 3. If original, they are due. 4. Haha. It will fail at some point. Fix it when it does. 5. Yes. Potential problems here are the price of admission. My .02.

    2015 LR4 - Battery died, now doors won't lock

    Battery disconnect switch and a separate "power bank".... The charging system on these rigs is my biggest disappointment after 8 years of ownership. They suck, to put it as mildly as I can. This topic has come up several times over the years, and none of us has yet found a way to enable the...

    Showoff Your LR4

    I originally started with the Prospeed rack flooring, but ended up ditching it in favor of using waffle boards from OK offroad as my flooring. They are about 1.5 inches tall, but are stout enough to be used as legitimate bridging/sand ladders. They are also perforated and stiff enough to be...

    Engine oil analysis results on 2010 LR4 V8

    I might have to try that as well. Do you get a puddle to pull through prior to the burnout? My dad was a big drag racer in his youth. I never caught that bug, but was a fairly serious autocrosser prior to my kids coming along. I will say that everybody owes it to themselves to attend a top...

    Engine oil analysis results on 2010 LR4 V8

    Can it smoke all four tires if you turn off TC? Do people even do a burnout for bracket racing? That is cool to see.

    Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) failure

    You will drive yourself nuts. If it works, I suggest trying to forget about until there is an actual issue. I have been down the same road with a "General Electrical Failure-Remote control - circuit open". Relates to one of the steering wheel mounted control switches. No amount of tinkering...

    OIl Leak - top of engine

    A little P-car humor from a long-time porschenaut. Clearly you don't. Have a nice life.

    LR4 - LCA - Longevitiy/Diagnostic

    And we're off...:) I am not someone who really cares about ride quality. I drive a 3/4 truck day to day and a 911TT that is spring like a buckboard when I'm not in the LR4 so it might come down to that, but I honestly don't notice a difference pre and post poly bushings. Even if I did, I...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    That is actually great to hear. Just bought a house in Chatham which is about 30 minutes away and parked a Rangie there for local use. I won't be working on that one since it's a vacation house, so nice to hear a plug from someone with experience there. If you like to fish for striped bass...
