    It is, they totaled it. So I used the payout to add a 2012 HD to the fleet. Moving all the off road goodies to it, and giving the 2010 to my son

    Wind, trees, alpine roof...oh my

    Had a bad storm a few weeks ago. Tree fell, bounced off kids basketball hoop, then my rover. Thank goodness it wasn't a large tree. Took out roof rack, bent long bars, third brake light and the glass roof. Going to attempt to do the glass myself. Hope I can stop for pics, as I usually end up...

    Worn pad light

    Check the sensor wire. Mine cracked and was rubbing the wheel. Had plenty of pad left, so I looped the wire back on itself until I could get a new sensor. Light is gone...

    Coolant pipe replacement every 5 years on V8?

    How often is the coolant being tested or replaced? I've wondered if acidic coolant is partly to blame?

    When I went I got valve blocks front and rear, reservoir valve ( center block) compressor ( if same amk vs Hitachi) , air tank ( mine was rusty), and anything In better cosmetic shape knobs, center wood piece, Rear third light, wiper arm. Also cut some fiber optic for a test splice piece.

    Are these air struts bad?

    I see no visual indication they are bad. Look fine, and you said they perform fine. I'd say ...your ok.

    Key Fob Help - 2012 LR4

    Mine only had one fob when I bought it, I bought a used factory fob from eBay ( smaller one) for ~$60 and coded it to get a second fob. Only have one actual key ( emergency blade) though.

    Key Fob Help - 2012 LR4

    I have a 2010 and was able to program the smaller ( like the link earlier in the thread) as my main key with gap. Kept the brick as a backup

    Key Fob Help - 2012 LR4

    Btw, newer smaller FOB' s work just the same. So you can downsize if you don't like the brick (2012 still the big ones right?)

    Resolving door squeaks?

    Yep, one in the same. I watch his stuff and found it satisfying that someone else knew of it. I had it for actually greasing my old benz's sunroof, he opened my eyes to its other uses. I bought a small container from some guy on eBay years ago ( solo plastic sauce container like you'd get with a...

    Resolving door squeaks?

    Had a similar squeak in area behind the front door mirrors. I used some mercedes " gelittepaste" (spelling?). It's their million dollar sunroof paste. A very rubber nourishing(silicone I think) paste. I'd pick something that softens runner and makes it slippery, but lasts long.

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    Jlac, sorry to hear man. I think your slow bleed may have done it in. Sounds similar to mine. My skid plate doesn't collect any appreciable amount though. I found regular full synthetic would leak more, high mileage ( has seal conditioners) leaked much less, pretty much negligible now after two...

    Driving in access mode on the highway

    I would be concerned that the bags would be, or close to, bottomed out at access height. Bumps could d be harsh and potentially damaging?

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    I personally use a d2 two stage bottle on those dimples. Love showing others when the rover " lifts it leg" to help with a tire change.

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    I'm and outlier here. I've been running Sailun terramax for over a year. Wanted more sidewall, stronger construction mainly. Sailun is a Chinese company with this tire being made in very modern facility in Cambodia. They are apparently pretty big, #10 in production , just behind Toyo.They make...

    has anyone upgraded to this metal tranny pan?

    Yep, they are the preferred pan setup for maintenance. For the gasket, lubelocker makes a silicone gasket that is much better than the paper.

    2011 lr4 cliking noises coming through speakers

    I bet you found your culprit. Alternator was probably freaking out a bit because of the loose connection. The alternator varies output based on what voltage it sees.
