Highest mileage LR4?
Here's a question my wife asked: If Lr4 s were still being sold new in the market, and I was in the market for a new car (60k - 80k), what would I buy? The answer was obviously, LR4 all day long. Not even a question for me, I love my 2015MY lux with HD). That made me wonder what I'll do when I... -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
Yay, looking forward to it. Will zf8 follow same process as zf6? Although, looks like I'm looking at a bigger project in my near future. Hey, if you are looking for a subject car to work on an oil leak investigation and repair you tube video, let me know -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
This car is 78k miles young. Too soon if you ask me Thanks for the responses. I wasn't expecting anyone to just know what's going on, but guesses from those with more experience is what I was looking for. I'll talk off some plastics, do some more digging and take more shots to share here... -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
Changed tcase oil, level was about right. T case looks very clean and solid, leak likely not from that. The photos are of the transmission, just north (towards the front of the car) of the plastic transmission pan. That's either transmission oil or engine oil, I'm guessing. Has to be slow leak... -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
I just took off the under body shield of my 2015 Lr4 to change front diff oil, I see grease. No pooling of oil on the shield, no pooling on the floor, bought the car almost 2 yrs ago when inspection said bone dry underneath. Should I be worried or is this ordinary? Haven't changed transmission... -

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
I used it religiously during my crossover replacement work. Did just about every step (and then some), that @txfromwi showcased for us. Great resource, thanks so much. Having said that, Ive driven about 2.5k miles since my replacement, and coolant level slowly climbing down. I used bleeding... -

Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
Congrats on getting your LR back on the road. I wish I could get a brand new engine on my 2nd hand Truck, just so I can take care of the engine and not worry about what the last guy did to it. While my 76k engine is still running good, and I take care of it as well as I can, if I run into the... -

Modernize the infotainment without hacking :P
That system looked great, but expensive I think. Reading long term reviews tend to point at one issue. Over time, these Android based units start showing their age. They get slow, unresponsive, restarts required, updates fail, etc etc. I'm sure they are not all that bad, some may offer value for... -

Modernize the infotainment without hacking :P
That's fair. Im not in love with the carpuride system. There are small issues here and there, hate not having steering control for next song, or launching "hey Google". I'm using Aux, happy with that, don't notice sound quality issue, but now I'm having difficulty with calling. On top of that... -

Modernize the infotainment without hacking :P
Here's my "solution". I wanted Android auto (carplay works as well), without interfering with current setup and it's old school charm. I also did not want to leave marks on leather, or do major operation to install/uninstall. -

Hyundai just built a LR4
That looks far better than the old Santa Fe, which looked like every other SUV in the market, i.e. a sideways egg. -

2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
I have the 2015 MY, bought it at 65k, now at 75k. I get 14mpg around town (haven't registered any highway miles on it unfortunately). I'm on 255/60 Toyo AT3, so that hurts performance a bit as well -

Has anyone installed these defender style lights?
That looks beautiful. If lr4 lights were trash, I'd totally think about making those upgrades. But the thing is, I love the lr4 look already, one of the best lights out on street. Hard to justify $1k expense to change something that works great and looks great already. -

Poor man’s CarPlay installed
Here's what I'm leaning towards. Found this phone mount on AliExpress for less that $2.5 each. Cut a small slit in the plastic to make a 'dock'. seems to be working fine. Stable enough, but ordered two more to cut narrower slots for increased stability.
