However, I wanted to post some information as I think it could be useful for those DIY’ers who enjoy working on their truck and want to save a buck. I recently disassembled both my side-view mirrors to...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Camera System Fault
Dear LR4 lovers, Has anyone had the problem shown in my photo: “Camera System Fault”? I have been having this problem intermittently for some time (~8 months); I believe it is basically a wiring harness issue (loose connection). I previously pulled out and cleaned everything in the rear...- Land Rover Joe

Service Light
David, The “Service Required” light blinks on as a warning, and after you exceed the “MY Maintenance Schedule” interval which the computer is set for, the light will always blink on when you start the engine up. I did some homework. The 2010 “MY Maintenance Schedule” from Land Rover says...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Radiator Flush and Coolant Change
Update for everyone, So I just checked the books: The 2010 “MY Maintenance Schedule” from Land Rover says to change engine coolant every 10 years (!). The workshop manual for the LR4 (May 2011 update) in “Maintenance Schedules-Gasoline Engines” says the same: “Coolant-Replace Every 10 years...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Radiator Flush and Coolant Change
Hello Everyone, I have not seen much on the LR4 radiator, and I have just finished a bit of servicing and wanted to post my notes. First, the LR4 Radiator is a 10.8L capacity system with a manufacturer recommended coolant of Castrol SF (50-50 mix). The manufacturer doesn’t have a lot of...- Land Rover Joe

Premium VS Regular Gas
All, Great topic and really relevant to the community! JC, In the age of exorbitant gas prices and cheap additives and fuel alternatives, fuel quality and composition is a real problem. I am a bit extreme and live/work in Africa, so I bought a fuel test kit (search for “fueltestkit”) to...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Stainless Steel Brake Lines

PlastiDipped Wheels!
Mr. Prez, The wheels look good; please send out pictures if you do the silver trim in black (plastic air intake grills and plastic front grill). I am curious how the whole truck would look with Black trim rather than silver. I actually think gunmetal would be a nice alternative: tougher than...- Land Rover Joe

Black Powder Coated Rims - Yes or No?
Captain, I agree: I personally do not like the black look (so there are two). Not that it is bad, it is just super-tough, and I think part of the charm of the LR4 (vice Defender) is the elegant lines and styling. I have considered it, and if I were to go with black, I would get rid of the...- Land Rover Joe

LR4 Desert Driving
rokurbas, Thanks for the note! I hope you did not get the wrong impression from my post; I do not feel that the LR4 (granted, I drive the NAS gasoline V8) is underpowered...absolutely not. However, my experience with the LR4 in sand (especially deep sand) is that it is so heavy it tends to...- Land Rover Joe

Universal Hi-Lift Jack Mounts?
Oh captain my captain, This is a great thread. Thanks for everyone’s input. I have used hi-lift’s all over Africa, and when used properly, are amazing and powerful tools for vehicle recovery (even rescue with the Hi-Lift Xtreme). First, I use a hard-to-find product called Jackguard to...- Land Rover Joe

Brush Guard for LR4. (Part II)
Dom, A lot of people probably find your question strange...of course the LR4 NAS uses gasoline! What else is there? The Discovery 4, as far as I know, uses diesel. Thus, getting a gas truck in Europe (an LR4), or a diesel truck in the US (Disco 4), is near impossible. I got the LR4 through...- Land Rover Joe

DIY Oil Change for LR4
94 speedster, Great post. Many thanks. Folks, The LR4 (or at least my 2010 HSE) has a drain plug. Pull off the engine sump plate and check it out. I have drained my engine twice already. I am getting fatigued of everyone saying that the LR4 does not have a drain plug. It does. But...- Land Rover Joe

Second Battery Installed in LR4
Nathan, Again-hats off to you and Drivesafe for my favorite thread.

Second Battery Installed in LR4
Nathan, BLUF: no. This is partially due to my own ineptitude, but largely out of finances. My idea of installing the second battery is tied to several other accessories I want to wire into that battery (as an old fashioned “uncomputerized” second circuit), and when one adds up the cost of the...- Land Rover Joe
