Suspension Issue
Since your front dropped most, your issue is most likely in that area (not center/rear) Put in off-road height and spray soapy water on the Voss connector at the top of each front strut (again) A mirror can help see bubbles better Spray and inspect the front block(again) - but internal leaks...- douglastic

was your gasket paper? some switch to the aluminum w/ rubber lip (mine was/is paper and has no leaks - but not everyone has the same result) also - making sure you switched to the shorter bolts, did not re-use your old?- douglastic

Best LR4 Brakes for Heavy vehicle + towing.
I tow 5k+ lbs and have 18s I highly recommend Akebono Euro brake pads Mine are going on 75k miles - absolutely buying again I have not replaced my rotors yet, but have used Zimmerman zinc-coated on previous vehicles If you don't want to spend on OEM, at least buy from a known brand/retailer- douglastic

has anyone upgraded to this metal tranny pan?
I haven't seen metal version or separate pan/filter option for the later 8-speeds But at least the non-integrated pick up tube isn't in the way of removal?- douglastic

Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?
"I'm finding on the LR4 street tires do so well offroad that I might as well lean towards street when compromising dirt/street" I think you have it wrong. Your Rover is so good, it is doing well off-road despite your street tires - not because of them. No, you don't need LT rating. Just get a...- douglastic

Bluetooth music streaming
I am no electronics expert My guess is that something in the LR AUX board back there messes up the input levels, and plug-in solutions retain that problem. Most of us have that volume issue when we try to use OEM AUX port in the 2nd row - the levels are just bad. When I spliced in my ebay...- douglastic

Interesting, I had't seen a plug and play before I did the $7 ebay generic board, hacked into the wiring myself behind cooler box AUX works great, one of the most enjoyable mods I've done - brings the LR3 even more up-to-date- douglastic

LR3 Transmission Leak
Is the puddle off to the driver's side up front? Could be power steering fluid. My trans leak was dead center under middle of vehicle (directly below the trans). I don't see how a leak from trans would follow anything up to front bumper.- douglastic

Really good coolant leak under the engine!
Just making sure you checked the problematic bleeder T valve (under top engine cover)? They break quite often when old. I swapped mine to brass after it broke.- douglastic

Help to buy LR3 or RR Sport
Too bad - they are plentiful in the States. Cheap too. What would the import difficulty/expense like for PR? Not saying its's a great option, but could be if the hurdles are not too high.- douglastic

Passenger side air intake and front sunroof drain
That foam piece was mis-shapen where the elbow is on mine, so I re-formed it to allow drainage. I kept that top foam since it seemed like it would block dripping water from being sucked into the intake. Not just sound deadening - at least in my head - so I kept it. I DID however gladly pull...- douglastic
