2011 LR4 Lux Non-HD Head Unit Replacement
Looking for a replacement or upgrade to my head unit. The cameras have been going on and off with the "cameras" rectangle on the display screen going gray (cameras off) then lighting back up (cameras on). A few times, I have gotten a "Cameras System Fault" and after sitting for a bit, it will...- BigBriDogGuy

2008 RR 4.2 SC
Looked at a RR tonight as a backup to my LR4. Super well maintained. Rear locker. Luxurious interior. All of it. Reasonably priced as well. In spite of all that, I still prefer my LR4. The RR was luxurious in an old fashioned way that seemed stuffy. Like all the LR products I've seen up...- BigBriDogGuy

Cooling System Replacement - Dealership.
Was quoted $4k all in from the dealership in the Seattle area to replace the cooling system (front and rear crossover pipes and water pump). Does that sound about right? 2011 LR4 Lux 5.0L with 125,000 miles. Not having overheating problems, but my understanding is the cooling system is the...- BigBriDogGuy

Seattle Indy Shop Recommendations
Looking to do the preventative maintenance on my 2011 LR4 over the next 30 days. Anyone know of a solid Indy shop in the greater Seattle area? There's the dealership, but Seattle is now catering to a high end client base that is too rich for my blood. I've heard "Green Oval" in Portland...- BigBriDogGuy

Touching Base
It's been a minute since I checked in. The LR4 gave me a scare last night as it wouldn't start. I had been filling it with stuff for a trip and left the hatch open for an extended period of time. The interior lights were in off mode, but it must have still somehow drained my battery. I gave...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 Farm Truck
I rented a pretty sizable rototiller today to establish a garden plot in the cow pasture on the property out back. The rental guy looked at the LR4 and said, "Yeah, that should fit." So I put it in access mode to make it easier for him to ramp up the tiller in the back. Once he got it up past...- BigBriDogGuy

Increased Performance
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experience with doing things that increased or improved performance on their LR4? I'm hoping to do a full overhaul of the vehicle in the near future.

Rear Wiper
Learned something new about my 2011 LR4 Lux tonight. It was raining pretty hard and when I backed up, the rear wiper came on, even though I had it off. I guess the car figured that if I am backing up in the rain the rear wiper needs to be on so I can see what's behind me. Normally, when I...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4/3, Range Rover, and Disco Seats (Interchangeable?)
Lately I've been admiring the look of two-tone seats and reddish brown seats that I have seen in other Land Rover models for sale online (mostly Range Rover).

Lug Nuts Will Not Budge
As you can see, the wheels and lug nuts look in good condition. I'm also using a pretty heavy-duty lug wrench. I've shot all of them up with WD-40 and am going to let them sit overnight. Is there something I'm missing here? Could they be locking in a way that I am just not seeing? Anyone...- BigBriDogGuy

Nickname for LR4?
Seems like a lot of folks have nicknames for their rides. I'm thinking about "Stomper" because the shape reminds me of a hiking boot which we used to call a "Waffle Stomper". I've also considered "Escape Pod" or simply "The Pod" or "The Ark" (same idea). "My Precious"? (Maybe hitting too...- BigBriDogGuy

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
I've got my 2011 LR4 HSE Lux and am really enjoying it.

Hot Hood. Hot engine compartment. Hot grill.
Touched my hood and walked past the front grill and everything was really warm. Opened the hood and the inside surfaces were warm to the touch, to the point of being hot. Engine seems to be running fine. Just had the oil changed and the coolant level looked good, still does. Took a black...- BigBriDogGuy

Indy Shop Over-Charging?
