Auxillary Fuel Tank
Those are the BFG KM2 but the current KM3 looks almost the same. A benefit of the km3 is how it's designed to be very flexible at ultra low psi. THe Compomotive are not the only solution for 18" wheels. Look at the Lucky8 website and also check the defender 18" steel/alloy on the powerfulUK... -
Auxillary Fuel Tank
I would have expected that tank to be larger because I have one for the LR3, though maybe it is the other similarly named brand. There was Long Range and Long Ranger LOL. My LR3 can take on 52 US gallons from damn near emtpy. ( I did come up short by a mile one time when I was pushing my luck... -

LUX vs Vision package
THANK YOU ! At the bottom, I guess the "less" means those are NOT part of the build ? so presumably no towing package which as far as I know would mean the wiring loom and the receiver "adapter" insert just like on the LR3 plus maybe any programming for sway control in the stability program... -
LUX vs Vision package
SALAK2D4XCA614164 Might buy it but need to get a gut feeling on it in person first. VIN check is in part to be sure it's worth the drive. Doesn't have the "extended leather" but seems otherwise fairly optioned. Being a mechanic, thoughts on V8 LR4 vs later models with more highway safety... -
LUX vs Vision package
Hey, are you able to do this for anyone on here? I am considering a 2012 lr4 that has vision, or at least the cameras because the side mirror underside cameras unit is visible in photos. The seats have the single centerline stitching so i think it's a lux, and with the usual lux spec 20"... -
Any recommendations for snow tires for 20"?
Nokian absolutely ! Currently in fall 2025, the R5 "suv" non-studded or the studded Haka 10. I have the LT3 on my lr3 in 7x17 wheel but am planning on a 22" version for the v8 130.- jwest

Extended warranty
You should definitely take the paperwork to your dealer service department and ask if they can work with it and if it looks good to them.- jwest

Dashboard Cracks - Repaired
Nasty. No pics needed. I'd live with a few irrelevant cracks or get a new part installed. -
Extended warranty
Thinking you're saving somehow by agreeing to a $100, or especially $250, deductible is a bad plan. You're just adding at least $1000 to the deal, probably more. My ext warranty started at the end of factory and added 4 more years, up to 100,000 miles, paid $4500 at the time, full coverage of...- jwest

Mysterious Hose to Nowhere
Well, 'maybe' is a word people use differently. I'm not sure why you didn't show the bottom end of it but I told you what it was based solely on incomplete photos. Good luck on the next one. -
Ha! finally I have a "known issue" to fix on the LR3 - rear tailgate latch switch
Looking over their website, I'm not impressed when a business won't list their location anywhere. Pretty easy for these types to scam you or just flake out. -

yeah, that's it. Thank you! Dealer said something like 300 or more ! Apparently there is no simple "just the switch" option out there. Going to pull the interior side plastic cover off to see if there's an easy solution like a bad connection. -
