    Batteries

    And just to add, those pro rated warranties are a waste of time in my mind. For the mere few dollars in savings they are buying customer loyalty. Most of you have more patience than I; I don’t bother putting the battery on the charger unless I’m working on the vehicle. The moment the battery...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    Get this, I know of an instance where he tapped out by abandoning his vehicle at the shop. Apparently he destroyed his 3rd engine!! How do you do that, you ask? 1. on the first engine, ignore the timing chain rattle 2. on the second engine, never change or check the level of the oil… be sure to...

    Anyone care to admit this was them? Off the edge of a cliff and recovery from Matt's Offroad Recovery.

    …. Or just lessened the cost of insurance and improved the worth of the vehicle, lol. Announce these facts as a youtube video so it becomes mainstream thinking!

    Metal coolant plumbing for LR4?

    I had this very conversation with my very experienced Inde (LR master mechanic from Scotland). His position was in this case “stick to oem”, even though we do like going through the britparts catalogue. So that is what I’ve done. They are plastic, they are a maintenance item, I’m ok with...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    @Quijote , If I ever see a Mass. plated LR4 in my haunts, be prepared for a beep. @ryanjl , too true. Or as @BigBriDogGuy is contemplating; lets just factor in that the previous owner was better suited to own a pos and, we will take on the corrective action. Therefore, go get that preventative...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    @quijote…. would you go for a drive, please ;) I used to drive from Ottawa to Boston a lot. May I propose an outing to Kennebunkport Maine? Manchester VT? Bar Harbour? or just Mount Washington?

    Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off

    I think this is one of the stupid systems on our (and other) vehicles. 1. It always rusts out 2. I get to reach under the vehicle to get it 3. Try this off road in the muck 4. You have to clear the way to access the system in the rear of the vehicle anyways… So, to the engineer who designed...

    Lr4 oil level meter capacity

    The electronic oil level sensor is accurate… when it works. I’ve taken a page from someone else’ solutions: Immediately following an oil change, I check the level with (drum roll please) a dip stick!! That is, I shove a whipper snipper line down the oil extraction tube. And mark the level...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    Yes, We are about the same. I burn .25l in 5000km.

    Lr4 oil level meter capacity

    I have read the oil change procedure in the workshop manual, twice. There is no calibration of the oil level sensor that I see. What I read is, while in maintenance mode, check the level, if low add oil, ignition off, ignition on, in maintenance mode check oil again. It clearly states in the...

    Only 5 quarts of oil drained second oil change in a row (also… drain plug?)

    I would think that excessive. I’m at 160k kms. Mine was dropping 1.5l in 5000 km however, following the PCV replacement I am down to .25l / 5000 km.

    Talk about unpreparedness… But those recovery guys are awesome!

    Metal plumbing available for LR4 coolant system?

    Is there really a need to have 2 threads for the same topic, @M5Z3M ?

    maintenance history since new 2013

    But you have me at a disadvantage…. what is the year of your vehicle. And again I table the argument that if one cheaps out on maintenance, repair bills will be higher. For example, with the many types of materials used in the construction of engines today, it is a mistake to not change all...

    Idle Help

    Well, I reset the adaptations, once a year, every year. But I’m not convinced that would have anything to do with idle.

    True enough. Until they don’t and the catalytic converters get fouled.

    3rd Row Seat removal (leather part only)

    You inspired me to go and take a look…. the locking in place is done at the frame… and not even a “bounce” absorbed by the cushions. I hope I haven’t contributed to some kind of illicit transport business;)

    maintenance history since new 2013

    @MRLR4, I’m afraid to expose the obvious…. I’m not sure you have a well “maintained“ vehicle. And the $6500 price tag should have been a warning bell. I think its more along the lines that scheduled maintenance was ignored and it only went into the shop when there was a failure. That’s not...

    Long crank, no faults

    All these years later… applying the technique of starting a carburetor fed engine, to a fuel injected engine managed by an ecm; will never bade well.

    where is everybody

    Or is everyone like me and enjoys a basically trouble free LR2? ok ok, there is that coolant leak…. again. But it is going in. Cheers All!

    Increased Performance

    Yes…. but the size does make good sense. If there is an air suspension failure and the vehicle is on the stops… you can still drive it. If you oversize too far, you’ll be stuck. And that would really suck if you were in the deep back 40.
