    heated windshield retrofit on L405

    Good to know … I’ll probably roll without it right now . Coding anything new into jlr products has been a nightmare every single time . Very sparse aftermarket support , at least on the software front

    heated windshield retrofit on L405

    HI everyone. New to the range rover world. I have been a member on here in the LR4 section. we recently acquired a range rover full size (L405). Has anyone tried to retrofit a heated windshield on the current model L405 full size range rover that was not built with that option from the...

    18”New Defender steelies on LR4

    good to know. I may just have them use theirs and see how it goes. If not, I'll have them switch out theirs for the OEMs from my original set of 19s. Btw ... I am going to go ahead and give the OEM (from the new defender) goodyear all terrain adventure 255/70/18 (32") tires a try on the OEM...

    18”New Defender steelies on LR4

    good to know. However, isn't the 265/65/18 a 31.5" tire? whereas the 255/70/18 is a true 32" tire? apparently, from what I have searched the final 0.5" is what causes issues and the 255/70/18 apparently will not fit in the spare wheel well out at the back. did you run your 32" without any...

    18”New Defender steelies on LR4

    good to know. Thx for all the help. Do not mean to hijack the thread, so moderators - please feel free to move to a more relevant section. The defender 18" steelies that I'm getting incidentally come with the new defender OEM 255/70/18 tires (good year wrangler all terrain adventure) on...

    18”New Defender steelies on LR4

    interesting. If that is actually the case, I wonder if the generic TPMS that discount tire has will work since their's is of the 315Mhz frequency (I confirmed with them). I would rather have TPMS in each set of wheels rather than having to swap as long as it fits and seals correctly. More to...

    18”New Defender steelies on LR4

    deactivating the TPMS would be the last resort for me if nothing else works. I share the LR4 use with the wife and as such would like to retain the TPMS functionality. i'll probably have the tire shop take off the TPMS from the original alloy spare and see what frequency it runs. the silver on...

    Defender 130 an LR4 replacement?

    Just received the 2022 spec sheet from my local LR dealer. All the defender V8s (90, 110, carpathian edition) have the 20" wheels as a no cost option (can be had with the factory fit good year all terrains). Not as good as 18s for offroad, but definitely more versatile than the 22 inchers. My...

    Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?

    so glad I searched into this thread. Was almost ready to pull the trigger on compomotives but now after going through this thread, will probably go the steelies way. Looks like most are running the ET44 offset. Looking through Tuffant's website, they mention that the ET27 type should also fit...

    2010 lr4 coolant leak (Can’t Find) please help!!!

    For those of us like me that are not mechanically inclined and scared to muck it up and have a bigger mess on my hands, anyone knows the estimated cost to replace these (front and rear coolant cross over pipes/valves /hoses and related hardware) at a stealership or a reputed indy shop?? Any...
