Advice for a New Engine on 03 2003 Disco II
Start your hunting for a deal on ebay and craigslist. I've been looking for a replacement engine for a while for my '00 DII and found one locally for $700 but there were some good deals on ebay also. Example, a brand new engine, 4.6L complete long block. Listed for about $4K. Gone now. A... -
Any Aftermarket LED rings out there...like on the BMWs?
Like I and others have noted, it's not supposed to be the daytime running lights. In Canada where DRL is required, high beam lights up at reduced brightness or something else lights up ( I forgot which). DRL is disabled for US market and dealer is prohibited or unabled to even enable it. WIth... -
Any Aftermarket LED rings out there...like on the BMWs?
You can see it but the brightness is not in a same league as Audi ones. In Audi, LEDs are high brightness type and each one is located in the reflector. On LR4, it's just a tiny regular LEDs without any reflector. On Audis, sometimes you can't even stare at it because it's too bright but that... -
LR4 Tow Assist - does it exist?
Any accessaries sold and installed by the dealer is an extra charge basically. this is same for any dealer. However, most often, when you negotiate the price of car, accessaries are often rolled into the deal including parts and even labor. It all depends how you negotiate. Person A negotiates... -

Headlamp LED Rings
Removing headlight from LR4 is extremly easy. I can pull both headlights in less then a minute. Seriously... read the owners manual on how to replace headlight bulbs. Pull the grill. Pull the quick release tabs and pull the headlight away and disconnect cables. Done. No bolts to turn, no screws... -
Headlamp LED Rings
Unfortunately lower spec models, US model or not will not have these LEDs in the headlight. Two separate part numbers. -
Link Smartkey to memory locations
I don't believe such functionality is there. I used to own a Lexus which does that too and I thought it's a very neat feature because I and my wife often swap cars. I am bit disappointed to find that such feature is lacking dispite having all kinds of cool features. -
LR4 Accessories Prices
I had good exprience with parts.com plus eBay. I bought a brand new LR4 rubber floor mat set for just $110 including shipping. You don't see them every day but from time to time you see brand new genuine Land Rover parts for same on ebay. You can buy a new genuine LR4 tow electronic for about... -
How to ship expedition roof rack or take it apart???
Can the expedition roof rack shipped reasonably? I know it's too big for UPS or FedEx ground. Better yet, can this be taken apart in 2+ pieces? FexEx ground can do upto 150lbs but not at this size (I estimated 87"x50"x7") -
Electrical Fix
I had same problem when I got the car back in January. It was a known issue back then too so they applied the software fix per TSB. Issue came back couple of weeks later. Reset procedure per owner's manual doesn't work. I've got a notice for software upgrade program and a $50 voucher so I am... -
LR4 Tow Assist - does it exist?
I have the US model HSE Lux Plus but don't have the button. I was expecting or wondering rather if the button will show up once I put the two wiring and enable the feature in the system (CCF or Car Configuration FIle only accessable by the dealer). It batter be as it clearly states on the... -
Considering Purchase
It's very true that most people who says Land rover is very unreliable have never owned one. It's true that reliability used to be pretty bad. I own a 2000 discovery too and I am about to pull the engine out and replace it. It's got a cracked block from overheating and that's very typical... -
Software Updates?
There are no benefit for them to add additional features to existing cars already sold. I mean they already sold the car, why not try to provide additional features at their expense when most owners are happy with the car as is. It's possible that they could add additional features through... -
Floor mats for LR4
body is exactly same between LR3 and LR4. No changes were made to the body except the bumpers, fenders, headlights and taillights. Earlier LR3 had double hooks for front mats and went to a single hook from 2008 model year or so and no change to LR4. So if you can get a floor mat designed for... -
Current X5 owner looking at LR4 - Question about RSE
Looks like two owners are already given an incorrect information on factory RSE by the sales man in an attempt to persuade buyer toward an aftermarket system offered through the dealer. I bet it's because they want to sell the car in stock instead of special ordering another one with RSE... -
Tips and shortcuts on removing engine
I searched and haven't found a good answer. I am not looking for an instruction to remove an engine from DII. I've got an official workshop manual for that. What I am looking for is, real world practical tips and shortcuts from exprienced people who has done this before. Steps I could skip or... -
My take on my new LR4, after trading in Lexus LX570
Yep barn door. I hate it. Split door is so much more practical if you have kids especially. However, it would have been perfect if LR4 had automatic closure or at least power closure feature. It's so hard to close the top door. Navigation on my LR4, while looks decent has proved to be... -
Current X5 owner looking at LR4 - Question about RSE
My LR4 didn't come with a RSE so I don't have a first hand exprience with any issues but I have very insight information on the system as I am actually trying to retrofit the system and have reasearched a lot and collected few componets. The system was initially introduced back in 2006 or so... -
My take on my new LR4, after trading in Lexus LX570
Interesting... I am a former Lexus owner, traded in 07 GS350 AWD and got LR4. Also considered Lexus 2010 GX460 which was no contest to LR4 in just about every category except dealer service and reliability. But guess which one got recalled? Glad you like your LR4 over LX. My father in law... -
Extended Warranty
Those extended waranties are useless when you really need it. I am sure few people have benifited from it but mostly, the company will come up with every excuse to deny the claim. Most of them require you to have the car regularly serviced per fectory recommended schedule. When it's time to... -
As long as I'm ditching the air suspension...
Have you sprayed some soppy solution on the airbag to see if you have any leak? Not sure why people are ditching air suspension but I see pair of new aftermarket airbags for less than $200 on internet and changing is really simple. I would think that's cheaper than converting to coil spring? If... -
W T F is this?
It says it also kills bacteria growth for extra horsepower gain. Kills what?!?!? -
DII overheating part 2
So, I decided to fix it. It's worth practically nothing with engine problem like other poster said. May be $2000 if I am lucky. I have the ability to replace/rebuild the engine. My labor is not free but at least I don't have to pay $100 an hour shop rate to make someone else rich. If...
