    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    We do minor to moderate off roading, but not very often as our areas are a long way from home, so we don't have special tires for that. But we run Michelin Cross Climate 2 as our all season every day rides, and they serve just fine for our off roading purposes. Like riding on a magic carpet...

    has anyone upgraded to this metal tranny pan?

    Your local LR Mechanic has no interest in making this easier for you in the future, is trying to scare you away and has no interest in doing the job because it takes a bit of extra effort. Once the metal pan is in place, the filter change becomes a whole lot easier next time! There is nothing...

    Oil Filter O Ring Pinched

    My grandfather taught me to oil the o-rings before installing (not saying you did not - just fond memories...) I have never seen this before!

    Control Knobs

    I find that "gummy" comes from one of my cleaning products, still not sure which one, and only seems to affect certain knobs and nothing else. I have had success with rubbing alcohol and elbow grease, the gummy does come off - with some effort...

    Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading

    Coolant smell is not normal, it's leaking, you just don't know from where - yet. Reservoir can remain full even if it's a small leak - and for longer than you might think. Direct experience on that.... Get a UV light, as above, Rover coolant is UV active, poke around absolutely everywhere. It...

    LR4 Seat Covers

    OEM seat covers are not available through (at least my) dealerships. The last set I ordered I purchased from Land Rover Classics, an on line parts vendor. https://store.landrover.com/customer/account/login/referer/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yZS5sYW5kcm92ZXIuY29tL2N1c3RvbWVyL2FjY291bnQvZWRpdC8~/ Hint -...

    Best online source form a oem timing chain kit?

    My favorite on-line vendor is Land Rover Palm Beach Parts. Not the least expensive, but great customer service, and parts come properly wrapped for shipment.

    LR4 Trailer Hitch Service / Rebuild

    I strongly second the advice from CRYA, excellent videos and excellent kits. Make sure you order the correct kit as there are 2 hitch variants. My hitch was damaged when I bought the truck used. You can cut the plastic bits until you can get it apart and then rebuilt as per the videos. I...

    Windscreen Vendors ?

    That's right, I forgot... I will need to take a look at how bad it is when my D gets home this evening....

    Windscreen Vendors ?

    Well, it happened to my D just now. 2015 Red Rover picked up something and the crack runs through the drivers line of sight (haven't even seen it yet...) - so I need a new windscreen to pass the next inspection. I would much prefer an original Rover Branded, but at the least a PPG (is it PPG...

    Upgrade or keep 2010 V8?

    Better the Devil you know. If it has never failed, there is no particular reason to move on. I drive all my vehicles until they die in the driveway. Toward the end of course they are used only as far as I care to walk home. Every day without a car payment, or a large purchase depleting my...

    LR4 Window problems

    On a semi-related note. I purchased this vehicle used a couple years ago and just noticed this. On the drivers window. When the window is down and you pull up on the switch there is a detent/click that is supposed to completely close the window. It clicks but when the switch is released the...

    2010 LR4 Air suspension need advice

    Can't answer all that, but... On my 2016, and I have heard this from others as well.... This appears to be a factory build error... The software in the vehicle is for the Hitachi pump, but the actual installed hardware was the AMK pump. Suggest that whatever your path, you make sure that the...

    ZF6 to ZF8 upgrade!

    Glad to know that this is possible, but, at least for my hardware, the ZF6 is much smoother, and I don't care about 2mpg. So please explain to me why one would change from 6 to 8 ? Not being contrary - just wanting to understand....

    Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4

    I find that the folks at Land Rover Palm Beach on-line parts are wizards in locating part numbers. Palm Beach Rover is also a reliable vendor - more expensive than some - but parts are properly packaged and have always arrived in good condition. That particular "not compatible" message comes...

    Replacing Lower Control Arms 2016 LR4 HD

    LCA, the last time I did them, were something like $200-$300 each. Use Rover branded. If you are really into pressing bushings and want to alter the ride, that is also an option that some have taken. I find this particular job a PITA because I keep bonking myself on the head when installing...

    2015 LR4 Coolant Issue - Nothingburger or...

    Inexpensive and quick. Get a UV flashlight, $10. After dark look all around, especially on the front of the engine. Also, at about 2:00 at the oil filter, look straight down, 6" or so, until you see a little triangular space down there. If you are running Rover coolant, anything orange/yellow is...
