    HD vs non-HD package LR4

    I found a 2012 LR4 with the HD Package for sale in my area (Greater Seattle). Has 112,000 miles. Don't know anything else about it. Not sure I'm interested, but thought I'd pass it along.

    Help to decide

    The timing chain is a big ticket item that probably needs to be replaced once during the life of the car, but you shouldn't have to do it again. The fuel system seems to be the same. Your two biggest items aren't regular and routine maintenance but major swap outs that, once again, should hold...

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    I have the Duratrac. Here is what they look like on my 19" wheels.

    This is the one I'm seeing for $350 that fits my rig (2011 LR4). Says it's OEM. British Atlantic. https://www.roverparts.com/electrical/alternators/LR065246/

    We'll know more once they replace it. I'll let you know ftillier once the dust settles.

    The video I watched made it look pretty darn easy. But it always looks easy when they do it. ;)

    ...and for those of you playing along at home, the answer is (drumroll) alternator. ($1,200) Ouch. Could have been worse.

    Every Fault Known To Man

    I actually did have a counseling session today as part of my rehab from a recent accident where my previous vehicle was rear-ended and totaled. We talked about the LR4 meltdown and she asked how I was feeling about it. I said, "It all depends upon how it works out but, right now, I'm feeling...

    Every Fault Known To Man

    Western Washington (Seattle area) gets a ton of rain. Typically, it's overcast and partially cloudy with scattered showers. That could be the weather forecast 75% of the time. My brother-in-law came to our wedding from Mexico City and said, "I can see now why Kurt Cobain killed himself." Had...

    The "Clover Rover" headed off to the (im)pound. Actually, it's the local shop.

    Every Fault Known To Man

    Thanks theegovernor. That was my thought as well. Something was sucking the juice out of the battery. I was also thinking maybe a grounding short in the light wiring. I mean the light would come on for a few moments and then die off. Now I will say that the old normal beam lamp was pretty...

    Thanks f1racer328. I hope it is something like that. In spite of everything, I still love the LR4. I just feel like I want to gut the thing and put a bunch of new stuff inside. It would be one heck of a ride if it was mechanically and electronically sound.

    Every Fault Known To Man

    It started with my driver's side normal headlight going out. (It would illuminate for a few moments and then go dead. The high beams on both sides worked fine). It turned out to be one of those square HID units, so I watched a video, went down to O'Reilly's, got the right HID unit and planned...

    Customized Decal

    Created this customized decal to personalize my LR4. We got an Irish Setter pup for the girls this Christmas. They named her "Clover" so I thought I would do something fun by playing off the Land Rover name and logo. We take her everywhere with us, so now it is the "Clover Rover". :)

    Considering an LR4. Would you buy one at 100k mileage?

    I bought my 2011 LR4 Lux with 102,000 miles a couple months ago for $14,000 USD. I purchased it from a local private owner and it was clear he was using it to haul his family around on a regular basis. Except for needing to be detailed, it was in great condition both inside and out. The loan...

    Name That Sound !

    It was a new sound, A humming sound. A soft "whirring" sound. I knew it was coming from somewhere, but where? I stopped in a parking lot and popped the hood. Same loud engine sound as always. Not sure, but probably not. Was it the dash? The back seat? Maybe. Maybe the kids left the fan...

    Long crank, no faults

    Okay, so take this with a grain of salt, because I am an idiot. (It's a known issue.) I just realized I don't have to continue to press the keyless starter button until the engine catches (as I have been doing this entire time). All I have to do is put my foot on the brake, press and release...

    Best rack for LR4 without factory rails

    Talked to the Voyager sales guy over the phone. He's in Bozeman, MT. They are in the process of opening up a new office there. We planned a meet up for this May and we'll get the whole thing done on site. Nice little road trip from where I'm at on the Washington State coast. I graduated...

    Best rack for LR4 without factory rails

    I was about to pull the trigger on a low profile Voyager from British Atlantic until they told me the shipping cost would be $800 (from NY to WA state). That's over half the cost of the rack.

    Suspension faults - C112F and C1130... and height sensor issue?

    I've gotten the occasional suspension fault warning light on my dash when I start up the rig. I turn it back off and then just press the button w/o my foot on the brake to have the vehicle go through its system check. Then I start the rig again and the suspension fault warning light is gone...

    Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...

    Thanks ftillier, that's actually reassuring. I can't imagine a scenario where they would have a 7,700 lbs. towing capacity and 770 lbs. (10%) rated receiver and not have that be the intended max tongue weight. It would be so misleading as to invite overloading the tongue. I can't imagine Land...

    Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...

    I have been thinking about doing some hauling as well and have read through a lot of these streams. When I look at the LR4 and then look at trailers, it seems like common sense would dictate that you not put something on there that's ridiculously large or heavy. My take away is that the LR4 is...
