    My Alibaba wheel experience

    Didn't read but I wouldn't trust any rims from there. NFW, too much to go wrong.

    Rear high mount taillight replacement NOT the worst..

    The valve covers are tight and sealed. I did have that problem when I bought it and could smell it. One time there was blue smoke pouring out the side of the hood at the end of an off-ramp at a light lol. That is a possibility I haven't ruled out. I wipe them down with a rag at each wash, they...

    Rear high mount taillight replacement NOT the worst..

    I have a couple leaks in back on my LR4, a drip down the rear hatch window in monsoons. Another clue of a problem is at WOT and when the 5.0L starts omitting a viscous growl tone in the mid to upper power band, if the air is just right and its giving all it has, I smell exhaust. It gets in the...

    Seattle area – need IIDTool CCF help, happy to pay

    If you buy a dongle you could use SDD for free (what IID reverse-engineered code from to re-sell in a device). There is a Virtualbox image shared on the jagforum, its super easy if you have Windows on a laptop.

    Roof glass replacement possible?

    The glass guys didn't want to do the used one? I could understand that but if the glass arrives with what you need to seal it the work would be DIY. There is a lot of glass up top so I kinda think more than windsheild prices. If it holds up to hail that would be good. I'm traveling to Utah to...

    Roof glass replacement possible?

    Knarly. I bet its expensive lol. I'd be interested to hear how much Land Rover wants for it. Not sure I'd want to do a 3rd party no-name brand on it because it may not pass the same specs.

    Rear high mount taillight replacement NOT the worst..

    The broken glass was already there before the procedure? On my light its loose in its housing. I figure I'll wait to perform the procedure until its hanging off or it starts moving around a few inches. Now its at 1/4" movement. The problem is the plastic sticks up at the roof side so air flowing...

    Finally, back in the saddle.

    Congratulations. Can't see how at Toyota would suffice outside of being body-on-frame. Which engine did you get in the Defender?

    Motortrend reviews the Octa

    Lots of great offroad features in the Octa and surprisingly the Defender 110 SC V8 is only .2 slower ET in the 1/4 mile https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/first-test-2026-land-rover-defender-octa

    Cargo Cover

    I'm curious about that file encoding even though I don't have a 3D printer. If you were to rename it to .stl it would be compatible with a 3D a printer?

    Pics/advice on your rear license plate/camera relocations

    I don't have an answer for you but would like to also have custom cameras. One for left and right sides plus the rear so that I can black-out the windows in back. Haven't found outdoor hi-res cameras yet that are small enough. But I'd like to hook them up to a linux box with a touch screen and...

    Driving in sand

    I've been stuck in the sand (but not near salt water) and the right way to do it is to avoid sand that is too soft. If you are in soft sand and still have momentum, keep the pedal down because you'll never get started again. You'll feel more resistance and need more throttle when the sand gets...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    I'd just clean it with alcohol, it won't leak there if you are using a gasket since the gaskets job is to fill imperfections in the metal. As an aside, I have always used Permatex and a gasket for pans, but it sounds like not the right way and I'm not suggesting it unless it leaks with just...

    Smart Key Not found - Solution

    The OBD2 port isn't a hot pluggable bus, I would expect errors and possible damage if there was a surge. You could try unplugging the negative cable on the starter battery for a while if you haven't done that already?

    Multiple repairs on a 70K miles 2013 LR4: what can I expect next

    I love driving mine. I remember the first time I drove it off-road, it felt cushy and isolated from the ground. The engineers spent a lot of time making it luxurious which includes hanging counter-weights off the hydro-formed steel frame rails. They struck a great balance between sport and...

    2016 Replaced front lower control arms and hardware

    I found evidence there is insulation somewhere outside. I haven't seen any crawling under there but then I found a rats nest under my intake cover. Thick batting material came from somewhere and it isn't natural to the Mohave desert so I'm pretty sure there is thick batting somewhere that would...

    Aftermarket Rear Differential Cover: Worth It or Waste?

    I hadn't thought of one for mine. Its a 4lbs rear end, pretty stout for a mid-sized SUV. Proper diff coolers have a radiator and plumbing. Just changing the fluid as part of maintenance is enough and making sure it has the correct fluid. On my diff I'd like toto disenguage the locking at times...

    2016 Replaced front lower control arms and hardware

    The extra noise is coming through the windshield? Look for missing hood insulation.

    2016 Replaced front lower control arms and hardware

    Pretty odd problem. Maybe they stole some parts. Did you look for missing parts? Does your glass branding and print look the same?

    TPMS RESET

    They probably broke the sensor(s). There is an antenna in each wheel area and it doesn't matter which wheel is mounted where. If the spare goes flat, the DIC will indicate that.

    "Hello everyone! Greetings from China to the Land Rover world!"

    過去兩年，我一直開著路虎攬勝4（LR4）進行越野旅行。我會搭起一個可容納八人的帆布帳篷，它可以改造成一個有活動空間的辦公室。然後我會從營地出發，進行各種越野探險。這輛車非常可靠，但我花了15,000美元把它改裝成現在的樣子。其實我自己也能做這些改裝，但是更換正時鏈條和執行器違反了我公寓停車場的規定。

    No issues??

    On a Corvette .35 degrees off is huge. Not sure how that translates to an LR4 but that would have had worn the tire wrong.
