LR4 Transmission Calibration (adaption clearing) after service
Also, no data just reading forums, seems as though people who clear the ZF adaptation later in transmission life have more problems than those who don't.- Al Pizzica

Lube Guard Instant Shudder fix - works….RPM fluctuation and trans shudder gone
Yup, lots of conflicting info out there. FYI I used the Ford Mercon fluid which is way cheaper and it is approved for the tranny. Works great.- Al Pizzica

Lube Guard Instant Shudder fix - works….RPM fluctuation and trans shudder gone
FYI my Indy LR shop STRONGLY advised not doing the adaptation reset on any older transmission that is having slip issues. Apparently fine to do if you are doing routine refill before things start to go bad. He said the computer "learning" the transmission can make things much worse and he's seen...- Al Pizzica

Lube Guard Instant Shudder fix - works….RPM fluctuation and trans shudder gone
BTW if you open the trans fill when the engine is running cold nothing should come out and you can add the lubegard.- Al Pizzica

Lube Guard Instant Shudder fix - works….RPM fluctuation and trans shudder gone
I second this, Lubeguard got rid of hesitation and weird shifts for me until I could do the zipkit and two transmissions fluid changes (you can't get everything out of the torque converter). I also added lubeguard into the final change. Transmission has been back to normal for almost 20k miles...- Al Pizzica

Front and Rear (Lower) Control Arm Guards
In hundreds of hours off roading I have never seen a failure related to not having a control arm guards, like @greiswig said, they aren't something that can't take a few hits. Plus, anything that would damage them would not be stopped from doing so by these.- Al Pizzica

ZF6 to ZF8 upgrade!
You brought back memories of driving my C5 half way across the country at 90mph in uniform so when the cops stopped me they would let me go(happened once) and calculating that I got 30mpg when I would stop for gas.- Al Pizzica

ZF6 to ZF8 upgrade!
IMHO the ZF8 is a much better all around transmission. I've had the 6 in two land rovers and the 8 in two BMWs. Hands down the 8 is the better shifter. The 6 is nearly always in the wrong gear, I feel, or just doesn't have the gear it should be in. The ZF8 is put into many of the best cars in...- Al Pizzica

Anyone swapped out for newer seats?
I can get a fairly immaculate cream colored interior out of a '16 LR4 Lux for $500. Our cream colored seats in our '13 are kind of dingy. Seems like a fun spring project. Anyone done this?- Al Pizzica

When is it time to say goodbye?
I said it was a dumb thing, admittedly, but there are straws that break the back, esp when the vehicle becomes the ship of Theseus- Al Pizzica

When is it time to say goodbye?
This is really stupid but my front seat heat died and I think it's in the seat. These are the kind of little things that have me thinking about something new but I don't want to do it. Oil change interval discrepancy of reality vs the manual should be class action suit, for sure.- Al Pizzica

Cold weather transmission failure
These things are so damn battery sensitive! I have a new AGM battery for this winter and in the same conditions skiiing overnight at 0 deg it now fires right up compared to last year she was a little hesitant.- Al Pizzica

P0016 comes and goes after oil change
Like Dieter and his schprockets? (may be too old of an SNL joke for some here) Catastrophic issue or just wait till they fail and fix then?- Al Pizzica

That is what I am trying to avoid. All the reading on here says you can wait until they make noise, they don't make any noise whatsoever.- Al Pizzica
