2011 Land Rover LR4 HSE transmission problem
How do you know it's the transmission? How many miles? Has it ever been serviced? (fluid change) Does it shift fine? -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I've been using VALVOLINE MAXLIFE ATF DEXRON/MERCON fluid for at least 80-100K miles on both Mercedes without any problems what so ever. It's been in my LR4 for 13K miles and the tranny shifts extremely smoothly with no adverse effects what so ever. I'm also using it on my 2013 Mini Cooper... -

Engine air filter
I just replaced both air filters at 71K miles. They were slightly dirty and could've gone longer but since I had the new ones, they were replaced. My 2013 Mini on the other hand, with 45K miles, had an extremely dirty air filter (so much for the service performed at the dealership...) -

Are these OEM or > Quality Brakes?
There is brake dust. I've gone the route of using ceramic pads to greatly reduce the amount of brake dust on my Mercedes vehicles but it came at a much reduced braking performance cost which I don't want to compromise. I'd rather clean the wheels more often than get into an accident. Can't speak... -

Are these OEM or > Quality Brakes?
I don't know but I can tell you I installed EBC greenstuff pads and EBC rotors and could not be happier. A little more costly but I wouldn't risk putting possible inferior products on a $55K truck. I can tell you I have NEVER driven an SUV that brakes as well as our LR4 with these pads and will... -

New battery: Sears?
The only problem with Sears is that they're on the brink of going out of business so you may not have warranty for too long. -

LR4 Headlights Flicker?!?!
I agree but I noticed more light EVERYWHERE than with the Halogen bulbs. Much more "useful" since I can see much better..... -

LR4 Headlights Flicker?!?!
Installing a relay wiring harness is very easy. Retroffiting an HID kit into a projector lens system such as the halogen projectors used in the LR4 will not negatively affect the beam pattern like it does in a reflector type system. I've done both and never had anyone flash their high beams at...
