Here are some of my thoughts from your previous post - Q: Are there other jobs i should do while in there? A: Always.... Q: Any tips or tricks on removing the lines and fluid...- Land Rover Joe

Installed CarPlay
@richord - can you detail what specific model you used and what instructions you followed (did they come with the device or did you watch YouTube)...? Sounds like a great install - any photos?- Land Rover Joe

Oil level sensor leaking
Right - you need to know which engine you are working on...the diesels are completely different.- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Services and Replacement
@Mozambique - many thanks and we did mine in conjunction with a lot of other services / work. Thus, the work was a lot easier because we had a lot more room to maneuver in there... I honestly can't see how it could be done without pulling out some of the junk back there (just no room and hard...- Land Rover Joe

Paint Cost
Thanks @powershift and you are most correct: plastic/rubber upkeep is work and combined with the wheels...never been a waste of time. I have just repainted a number of things on my 2010 LR4 HSE including the hood, lower and upper tailgates, and rear driver side door. That doesn't include the...- Land Rover Joe

What Did You Do To Your LR Today?
I think a much-needed "upgrade" (probably should have come stock...). Good luck to all and while I haven't needed mine yet...it is useful and if required, definitely worth the time/money/effort! I ordered mine direct from Italy although I understand Luck8 stocks them as well. Maybe someone has...- Land Rover Joe

Showoff Your LR4
@callin : Thanks - It is the LR4 "Protection Bar." VPLAP0022. I noted a few still for sale on eBay if you are interested although I doubt these are still manufactured or available from the dealer (who knows). They don't really protect much...see a photo from 2011 where I got side swiped just...- Land Rover Joe

2011 LR4 HSE oil question
No - do not overfill the oil. 8.5 is it unless you are leaking/burning oil. It is possible the oil temperature and level sensor isn't working well so perhaps that is the problem. All worth investigating...- Land Rover Joe

2011 LR4 HSE oil question
The oil change refill is 8.5 quarts (what you would vacuum or drain out) and the total oil in the engine (i.e. in the sump) is 10.5. 15 is a bit strange....- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Speaking of rebuilt brake calipers...here is a shot of what the front calipers looked like as we were reassembling everything. We have had no issues and the rebuild brakes are working great. So we have come a long way and I am (overall) really happy with how these look and feel (once the work...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
And here is the rear end after doing all that work...you can easily see the braided (aftermarket as mentioned above) stainless steel hoses. Unlike the front end, these hoses fit properly (we had to fabricate a couple brackets for the front end hoses out of sheet metal in order to route them...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Tribe, I wanted to follow up with this job. A bit of a bust for some parts. So it turns out that the "long" steel brake lines I purchased to replace the ends going into the wheel wells...don't fit directly onto the factory lines after all. I think this is actually a refurb kit the manufacturer...- Land Rover Joe
