Question about the factory hitch reciever
I'll measure mine, I'm pretty sure it was extending out much further than that when manually pushing the release pin. I'd guess over an inch by memory. I know that there's a detent ball that just becomes exposed on the bottom side of the locking pin. When you say "you should feel it protruding... -
Question about the factory hitch reciever
No matter what I do I can't get mine to rotate any more than to where the green handle is horizontal when I put it pin looks to be extended about half way into the hole before it stops. On mine, the only way that I can get the pin to go out is if I manually push in the release pin. Is yours... -
Trailer Wiring
The dummy plugs are attached to brackets and they're a bit more towards the top and rear of the cavity than the ones for the tail lights. When you remove them from the brackets you then remove the dummy plugs which will have no wires coming out of them. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
A big thanks to @Pfunk951 for this excellent write-up. I did this pan retrofit/fluid change this past weekend and it all went extremely well. A couple tricky/fiddly steps, but it all worked out. I used the kit from RoverParts.com and the real ZF fluid. It took me about 3 1/2 hours total. The... -
Trailer Wiring
I just installed their kit this past weekend and everything plugged right in. Is it possible that you're using the wrong connections behind the taillight? They should be connected to dummy plugs from the factory, not the ones that actually go to the taillight as you'd use on many other vehicles... -
Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)
The brochure is available here: http://www.motorologist.com/car-brochures/land-rover-brochures/ In the Land Rover LR4 HSE LUX exterior includes section on page 44 it says "Heated windscreen including heated washer jets" -
Question about the factory hitch reciever
Thanks - that is exactly what I needed to see. I don't think my green knob is rotating that far forward. -

Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)
The lines are definitely visible on mine, same as in the LR3s that I've test driven. -
Question about the factory hitch reciever
Hi Everyone, I recently bought the newest style (shorter) hitch receiver for my LR4. When I seat it up into the receptacle in the bumper, the release pin at the top compresses and the larger locking pin at the back extends, but it looks like it's only coming out about 1/4" and just catching on... -

No, you have to install it. There's a kit from Land Rover, or Atlantic British makes a kit that uses the same connectors for about half price. -
Long term plan for the LR4
The LR4 tranny is the same as the LR3 and there are plenty of them with over 200K on them. I'm not sure how many had tranny work done, but given the cost to value I'd assume that most are in the original tranny. -
Windshield
The OEM Windshield replacement for our Evoque a couple months ago, which probably has most of the same features (rain sensor, heated, etc) was $1,200 at the local dealer's preferred place. The clips are cheap, be sure to do them. -
Found an LR4, a couple pre-purchase questions...
We went the other way. I spent about a month in an LR4 loaner last year while my wife's Evoque was in the shop and ended up buying one because I liked it so much. -
