Adaptive Headlights Flashing Warning
Can you retrofit them with non adaptive? New adaptive are over $4k -

Downshift catching... a bit harsh... Just a bit.
Why not try adaptation and if it can't relearn due to things you mention do your suggested work then? -

LR3 Small Mystery Coolant Leak
Interesting use of a stethoscope. Could you see evidence of the leak once you isolated it? I love my LR3. It's so well designed in many ways but let down badly in others. LR not following through consistently on quality and maintainability. Some things leave you just shaking your head, and... -

LR3 to LR4V8 to LR4SCV6 differences
The most important feature/consideration of any Land Rover is reliability. They can be complicated troublesome POS. Like you, my 08 LR3 has been very good. The seats continue to be comfortable and hard wearing. Everything works. I would not spend significant $$ to move to something that is... -

OEM Hitch Receiver Pin doesn't seem to be engaging all the way?
Clean out the whole area where the receiver goes, especially the hole where the main pin engages in to with a bit of emery/sand paper. Spray the whole area including hole with lube. Take just the LR receiver and line it up square in the mount and firmly push it up to engage. Using your finger... -

2020 defender off road pack - rear locker
We are lucky in Canada as we have only have 15yr rule. Southern european 200 or 300 tdi is the way to go if your state allows. Way better gas mileage/range and still fine for 70mph cruising. $35 - 45 U.S. ish ? plus a bit of refurb.. obviously a crude drive compared modern defender.- PWD2

2020 defender off road pack - rear locker
Or an old defender and put Ashcroft lockers in. A lifted 90 on 33s 255/85/16 with lockers gets you to a lot of places. If you want to sleep in the back or carry gear, a 110 is nearly as good.- PWD2

Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?
Interesting contrast with the folks who go off road and want an accessible full size spare instead of the failure prone PITA underslung winch system. Only topped by the ridiculous $700 failure prone tow hitch. Guess that's why i bought a 90 too.. Bronco looks interesting. Hard to beat lr3/4s... -

what’s the fastest you’ve gone in your LR4
In pre Orwellian times, ie before the advent of cameras and managed motorways, and when we had a few million less people ... life oop North was a bit easier shall we say. Xjs was worth having then. Have you watched top gear? -

Leaving the hood / bonnet open overnight for rats.
Ive had problem way back with 93 lexus and atvs. Leaving vehicle parked up seems to be root of the problem. We work from home and have multiple vehicles nowadays.. Regarding rat deterrents seems peppermint oil is one of the most recognised and effective... -

hitch storage location
If folks have no immediate off road plans they may well be tempted to just leave it on, especially they were towing on a somewhat regular basis. -

hitch storage location
Im on my second LR hitch, an lr4 one. I had lr3 one previously. Complete garbage in my opinion. Do not leave on the vehicle for any length of time as they can be hard to get off. Even only installing it when towing and lubricating mine with graphite lock lubricant it takes some banging to get it... -

May be late model LR3 v8 is the sweet spot?
Owned my 08 HSE for 8yrs now and it seems to be wearing very well indeed. 150+ miles. Its on the original exhaust, starter, alternator etc. Engine still seems quiet, no drop off in power or mpg that i can detect. Does not use any oil at all. Yes it's had regular 5w40 synthetic oil. Tranny fine...
