2016 LR4 Dead... need help!
I don't believe your other vehicles listed have smart alternators while the LR4 does (in an effort to improve FI). My LR3 is fine but the LR4 if subjected to short trips with heavy e-loads (windshield, 2-4 heated seats, heated steering wheel) does not keep the battery at 100%. It will eventually... -

Great. Try the Mobil1 EP high mileage version and see if that stops the leaking/weeping. Cheap option before committing to surgery. -

2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
