Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
You have just discovered the issue with many SUVs (and modern 4 door trucks) who tow and carry passengers. There is a balance of everything. A LR4 cannot tow it's max rating and carry a full load of passengers, at least not legally. You will also notice that the tire inflation pressures are... -

Oil leak showing up behind alternator?
Thanks for providing closure. I may or may not have a leak . ( Not sure if all oil residue was from leaking oil filter o ring). May ignore until it starts hitting the ground. Oil seems to miss the alternator. -

Oil leak showing up behind alternator?
That sucks. Well at least you know not to take it the indie shop that missed it in the first place. Or you use it for some pricing leverage. -

Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?
That rust is nothing. Most of that stuff will be replaced long before rust becomes the issue. However do use the rust as leverage in your negotiation. -

They are heavy and unless you have mudder tires stay out of the mud. This is something one of my kids would do lol. -

Oil leak showing up behind alternator?
Start simple. My last Wix filter it looks like the oring for the filter housing got stiff and there was a leak. Mimic' d a leaking valve cover and was dripping down the front and along the valve cover edge. Start high (oilfilter housing) and work your way down. If you have oil on the filter... -

So they don't want a balding guy in a dirty undershirt swearing underneath his LR4 looking for an air leak in his valve block? :) -

The people ordering Land Rovers in the lower mainland of British Columbia aren't slumming around in Discoverys. The centerdiff will lock and unlock as needed. -

When is it time to say goodbye?
That's a good point. Unfortunately the expensive stuff is consumable too and when one of those goes that is what determines the "life of the vehicle". A normal day to day soldier 15 years and/or 200k miles? My 2010 owes me nothing and likely when something big goes that will be the glue factory... -

When is it time to say goodbye?
Only thing done at a shop was two sets of LCAs and alignments, one of the water pumps and a transmission pan swap. There is $3150 worth of tires (winter and summers). The minor stuff all done at home (brakes, fluids, water pump, plugs, alternator etc). -

When is it time to say goodbye?
For the past 10 years the maintenance costs on the LR4 are $0.104/km Canadian. About $0.12/mile US Does not include fuel, registration and insurance or the purchase price My Ridgeline is about half of that. That being said different vehicles and yes Land Rovers are not cheap to keep on the road. -

It's time for a rear cross-over pipe talk. What to do about the backorder?
There just isn't enough of a market for the aftermarket to get excited and put the resources into a solution. Most discovery's worldwide were diesel.
