    I have a ‘16 TD6 and it has been amazing . Avg 26 mpg, tows effortlessly and is as comfortable as the day is long. Zero issues so far and I have 52 k on the clock

    Probably dumb frame horn removal question

    No, you dont. it isnt structural there so JB welding a small piece of metal is fine.. Hell, its your car.

    LR L322 engine swap info

    I would go TD5 or 6 since you shouldnt have to mess with your ECU.. I love my TD6 in my L405 and get 26mpg all day everyday.

    White, steel, Defender-style 18" wheels for LR4?

    has anyone just looked up the spec of the new defender steel wheel? It is an 18" which will clear the calipers and it should be 5x120 so all we really need to find out is: what is the offset? anything 42-45 would be fine on the lr4.

    2016 L405 Towing

    All, I installed the tow package for my 2016 RR (L405) Tdi6. it took me 2hrs in the driveway when the dealer wanted $750-1k to do it. They now claim it needs to be reflashed. Is this true? there is no mode for towing that i can find so why would it need to be reflashed?

    Towing with 16 L405 Diesel

    Is the only option for a reciever hitch on the '16 L405 thru Land Rover? when i search Google all i find are for the sport model which i believe is smaller in the back frame width..

    For those that offroad their LR4...a few questions before I pull the trigger

    can you tell me which Traxide LR4 dual battery kit you chose? they all state that they are NOT designed for non-Australian models

    Jump-starting

    AGM batteries do not off gas as they are sealed which would negate the need to find a non-painted ground

    Battery life

    It seem that based upon a different thread that the Alt is running systems rather than charging batteries and that the batteries never get more than about 80% charged

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    ditto. your tire guy doesn't know anything about suspension or physics. added unsprung weight will affect rotating mass and thus BRAKING, and could affect handling... in racing. it wont wear out your bags. .

    Jump-starting

    I just went thru this on Monday, with a dead battery at the coast. No warning ever. there was no unpainted ground to use so i used the negative terminal on the battery. No issues to report whatsoever.

    Battery life

    Thanks Umbertob. I live in TX so heat is probably the culprit. It is under warranty but i couldn't wait for the service dept. replaced with fresh AGM battery. its time for service so i will take your advice and have them check the alt.
