    RRS SC Brake Upgrade

    I have wanted to do this since I bought my LR4. There are multiple styles of Brembo Calipers depending on the year of RRS. Can you tell me what year your calipers came from? Thank you!

    RRC502690 Wheel Install

    Looks awesome! I’m currrntly trying to decide which 265/50r20 tire I want to go with. I haven’t considered the Coopers, but they’re now on my list! Can you post a full side shot as well?

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    The Evoque is 2013. They may have put LED’s in the 2015 refresh. Generally, LED’s have good color and are extreme bright, but don’t have great control over the light, or a sharp cut off. I would rather have a good set of HID’s at this point over LED’s.

    Need advice on LR4 20 inch wheel tire options

    The Nitto Tarra Grappler G2’s seems to be the standard for 265/50r20’s. Has anyone considered the Toyo Open Countey AT2’s? According to the Toyo website, they are available in 265/50r20 as well. Looks like they’re about $200 a piece with an XL Load Rating of 111 T...

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    I had an LR3 with HID’s before my LR4. LR3’s have Bosch Projectors which are far better than the Valeo HID Projectors that the LR4’s come with. In the HID world, Valeo is pretty much considered bottom of the barrel, and are commonly used in a lot of vehicles...including Tesla & Chevy. My wife...

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    I purchased the ballasts, Projectors, and sealant from www.lightwerkz.net, the bulbs from Amazon, and the projector brackets from a company called “Custom Brackets & Design.” Here are the parts I used: - Ballasts: Matsushita Gen V (OEM from Nissan) -Bi-Xenon Projectors: Morimoto D2S 5.0...

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    I had to open them up. That was the hardest part of the project.

    Installing LR3 Xenon's into an LR4 with halogens?

    I just completed a full HID retrofit on my ‘12 LR4 Halogen headlights. Involved disassembling the headlights, removing the Valeo H7 Halogen Projector, & installing HID Projectors & Ballasts. Quite a project, but well worth the outcome.

    Temperature calibration

    I seem to have the same issue as well. I had an LR3 for almost 10 years and never felt the temp was off...strange.

    LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?

    Yes, I got it back last week. It’s been really bad weather (rain, snow & lots of wind), so I haven’t been able to get an ‘after’ video yet. The timing chain noise is 100% gone, only noise is the ‘tap tap tap’ from the brand new injectors (which I had relaxed as well during the timing chain job)...

    LR4 Landmark Audio Upgrade...

    I think there are other options, but none that I know of that connect to the factory optical cable and integrate into the factory audio controls. It also has firmware spacifcly designed for the LR4, and completely adjustable/tunable through a laptop or tablet. It’s not cheap ($750 for the DA3 I...

    LR4 Landmark Audio Upgrade...

    mObridge offers a unit that plugs into the factory optical cable, and then integrates with your factory audio controls. It essentially replaces the factory Amp, and then gives you up to 8 full range channels so you can connect to aftermarket amps. I plan on eventually using their DA3 to...

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    I’m ultra impressed that you did this job your self! I’m an extreme DIY’er, but this job really made me uneasy.

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    I got my LR4 back last night. The timing chain noise is 100% gone. My mechanic told me it’s now as quiet as a 5.0 gets. Aside from the faint tap tap tap from the injectors and high pressure fuel pumps, it’s as quiet as my LR3 4.4 was. I also no longer hear the engine at all when at a stop. All I...

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    Unless this site is using the wrong image, that looks nothing like the timing chain, tensioners, & guides from the 5.0. Based on the water pump gasket pictured, it looks more like the 4.4 LR3 Timing Chain.

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    I bought the timing belt kit, injectors, and water pump from Atlantic British. Total for parts was roughly $2k (with the 10% off New Years coupon they sent me). I was quoted $6k for labor, but I won’t know the final price until I pick it up. The LR dealership wouldn’t give me a firm quote, but...

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    I received the Bosch injectors from AB today, and took them to my mechanic. I compared them closely to the factory original injectors pulled out of my LR4. I am 99.99% certain the Factory injectors are either manufactured by Bosch (or Bosch’s manufacture makes the Factory injectors as well)...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Thank you for the Part Numbers... Did you buy it from the same place you linked in a previous post for the ATF (rmeuropean)? I searched those part numbers on that site, but could not locate any Febi brand, only Land Rover, Shell, & and Castrol...very strange...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Thank you! Just wanted to make sure I didn’t need the expensive one AB sells for some reason! My LR4 has 66k miles, and it’s staring to feel a little clunky/rough on shifts, no slipping that I can tell though, so I’m going to do this soon. I would also like to flush the tranny once or twice...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Pfunk951, what kind of fluids did you use for your diff’s and TC? Also, what kind of filling pump/system are you using? Also, thank you for the very valuable info!

    My rover won’t start...

    What is the process for removing it? Mine is worn out as well. I’m thinking about replacing mine with an Evoque button (if it fits). My wife has an Evoque, and I much prefer her start button over my LR4. It is concaved instead of convexed and has a much nicer feal...

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    I’ve read that the heavy duty fuel injector cleaners can also be harsh on the o2 sensors as well. Is this the case with this BG 44k? I’m going to start changing my oil every 7,500 (I just don’t trust 15k oil, and have read it could contribute to these timing chain issues), so I may start...

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    On to some actual LR4 & 5.0 discussion... So after talking to my mechanic, and finding out how much he charges to to replace injectors as a stand alone job, it did not make sense to hold off on them when I can have them installed with zero labor costs as part of the timing chain job. I bit the...

    5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?

    That actually not too far off. :-( Guess I have a really expensive corn popper, lol.
