non-decorative-capped lugnut availability?
I purchased a set of chrome Gorilla lug nuts off eBay from seller "tuneshop" (item #181000940211) and they are solid lug nuts with no cap. They have been installed for 6 months now and I haven't had any issues, would definitely recommend over the OEM ones. I replaced several OEM lug nuts due to...- pantalones

Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?
I had a similar experience with two Central Florida Land Rover dealerships, one told me it was sealed for life and wondered why I wanted to change it, the other flat out said no. Went to a few independent shops, neither was that interested or would return my calls. I finally gave up and went...- pantalones

Spare tire low pressure warning
Same here, I replaced my donut spare with a full size and have been unable to find a way to prevent that alarm from showing during startup. I believe the full size spare was part of the HD package, so not sure if it requires some ECU flash that only the dealer can do, but I would love to find a...- pantalones

Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY
Funny, I was just out swapping my old Bosch H8 with a Walmart EverStart H8 and it looks like that cable doesn't actually connect to anything, it's just taped to the positive battery cable on my LR4: I was able to close the battery cover on both my H8 batteries (Bosch & EverStart), just took...- pantalones

Possible CPU problem, dashboard warnings
Also ran into a similar situation when I was driving, transmission/gearbox errors, etc. all started going off, turned out my battery was about to die due to the alternator having failed. Put in a new battery to drive the car home, then replaced the alternator, all good now.- pantalones

2013 LR4 LED/Halogen/Xenon Light Bulb Refresh DIY
Wow, I forgot about that pain, I must have blocked it out! I think I went through half as many, but I remember a small spark occurring while changing the vanity mirror, which gave me a bit of pause, luckily it just required changing the fuse(s) to restore functionality. For anyone considering...- pantalones

2013 LR4 LED/Halogen/Xenon Light Bulb Refresh DIY
My original fog housings were fairly scratched up and a little foggy, so I just replaced the bulbs when I replaced the housings. They new bulbs are brighter, but probably not that much different from the originals.- pantalones

2013 LR4 LED/Halogen/Xenon Light Bulb Refresh DIY
Some of the bulbs I was replacing with LEDs were in the same housing as other non-LED bulbs, so I decided just to replace them all at once. I assume they were all original and they were all working fine, mainly just wanted to replace the interior with LEDs to get rid of the dim incandescents.- pantalones

Review of Continental TerrainContact A/T
I've had the TerrainContacts on for about 2k miles now and am very happy with them so far. Since 99% of my driving in highway, I didn't want to go with anything too aggressive, but I did want something that was somewhat off-road capable for that 1%. I recently took them through some forest...- pantalones

Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY
I recently replaced my battery after receiving a few low battery warnings and decided to upgrade to an H8 from the factory H7 size. Overall this is a simple battery swap, but I wanted to include the steps to update the Car Configuration File (CCF) and reset the Battery Management System (BMS)...- pantalones

2013 LR4 LED/Halogen/Xenon Light Bulb Refresh DIY
Decided to replace all the interior light bulbs with LEDs recently and ended up just replacing all the lights bulbs on my LR4. Took a while to figure out what type and number of bulbs I would need, along with what could be upgraded to LED. So, I decided to share this info with anyone else who...- pantalones

New Software?
Looks like this is an update for the Symptom Driven Diagnostics system that the Dealer/technicians use to work on your vehicle with, not necessarily an software upgrade for LR4's. http://britishdiagnostics.co.uk/sdd-symptom-driven-diagnostics/- pantalones

DIY Oil Change for LR4
Don't recall seeing this brand mentioned before, but I recently came across Ravenol J1A1504 5W-20 which seems to meets the JLR standards. According to their website, they claim "Formal Factory Approval" for the Jaguar/Land Rover STJLR.03.5004 standard. May be a good alternative to the Castrol OE...- pantalones
