Maintenance concerns???

[TmacRover]

I see you neutralized the hitch lock, but for other readers... you can easily order a replacement here:

They just need the 2 digit # on your lock. Not too expensive even with shipping from UK.

Are you in the UK? Just guessing based on it having been used as a police car. ;-)

I just got back from a family vacation in Italy and it was cool to see the carabinieri rolling the streets in marked up LR4s (2014+ models).

Fortunately, I only saw the exterior of these vehicles while there.

I just purchased a 2012 LR4 with 55k miles on it. Was going to ask the same question about maintenance items, and saw this excellent post from @avslash! Super helpful, thanks!

If new to me, I would do the following, and probably some others as I think about it:

Front Rear Differential Fluid
T-Case Fluid
Brake Fluid
Engine Oil and Filter
Transmission Fluid and Filter - Very unlikely this has been done previously, and it NEEDS it at 90K. I don't care what the manual says.
Coolant Flush and fill
....

That’s a nice low mileage find for you. My ‘12 has been an all-time favorite!

It belonged to an old friend. I've been bugging him for a year to sell it to me!

With a screenname like that, I hope you'll be sharing some crispy photos either here or on IG. Congrats and enjoy the Rover.

I'll try! I do post on IG, just lots of stuff I find as I walk the dog, nothing too spectacular. Started out as a journalist, ended up in tech (like everyone else I guess).

Cool, but what year is this? The taillamps and fender flares look like LR3/D3, but the grill and front bumper seem like that from an LR4/D4.

BTW we also spent an afternoon in Bellagio and it was fantastic.

I was in Bellagio last year! About exactly one year ago. Didn't see that vehicle though. :-(
