Broke my glass roof
Well, it just happened to me under different circumstances. A rock flew up and smacked my ski rack, then spiked down and caused a chip in the roof glass. By the time I got home to call my auto glass repair guy, a crack had already started and was too late to repair. After calling half a... -

IID Tool updated current sites?
I received mine in 15 days (from date of purchase). It was shipped via Royal Mail, and delivered via USPS. I've got to say, it's probably the best purchase I've made for the LR4—I use it all the time for so many different purposes. If you ordered it soon, I have no doubt that it'll arrive before... -
Velar?
It's definitely not a truck. I am in full agreement with all that it's a beautiful design, and that if LR didn't produce a vehicle for this type of market, they would lose their ass to the competition. My only hope is that they don't sell out their heritage to these (valley girl) types of... -
LR5 Release Updates?
As LR has done with the Range Rover and Discovery, I have a suspicion that the new Defender will become a sub-brand with (eventually) multiple models… That would be pretty neat, and give us more to look forward to in the coming months/years. LR's vision for their three model sub-brands: Range...- crash1121

Velar?
With an arrogant weasel as design director, a new bad ass Defender is now seemingly a lot to ask for from LR. The Velar shouldn't mainly target on-road performance—Porsche's Macan will eat it for breakfast. It better have very decent off-road capabilities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

LR5 Release Updates?
Reminds me of the hood "vents" on the RRS. Meh, what a nerd fest these cars are becoming...- crash1121

LR5 Release Updates?
The window deal annoys me too. Also, the fact that LR decided to make purely an aesthetic design decision to accentuate that C-pillar really says a lot about their new philosophy. They could've designed it to be less obtrusive for the rear passengers, but to me it also seems the D5 was designed...- crash1121

LR4 single speed transfer case
A sad and bitter truth... LR should have sent the LR4 off with dignity by installing 2-speed t-cases on all units, but nooopppeee. -
LR4 Accessories
The Logic 7 system in my '13 isn't all that great either, so don't feel like you're missing out on too much. Just rev up that V8! -
2016 Land Rover LR4 (Discovery 4) Project Build
Bravo—awesome documentation and progress on this beast! Can't wait to see you put it through its paces and take it to its limits (with pics ;)). In regard to weight, may the Land Rover gods bless your poor bushings and compressor with everlasting life! -
Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas
^ That's one adorable Golden @colorover ! I ended up buying my second choice winter tire (Blizzak DM-V2), simply because Nokian wasn't sending anymore Hakka R2s this year in the size I wanted (255/55R20)—damn Finns! So as the saying goes, when you snooze you lose... The Blizzaks have been... -
LR5 Release Updates?
According to the brochure, LR will be using Aintree Green, which is on the current models. ...or if you prefer to see a more majestic vehicle wear it: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- crash1121

LR5 Release Updates?
Yeah I'm sure it will, since it'll weigh 1k lbs more than this. I love me some plush suspension!- crash1121

LR5 Release Updates?
If it drives anything like my Disco Sport loaner, I'll pass......buuuut I would still give it another chance if the SVX version is actually offered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- crash1121

Change out differential and transfer case fluids
Yeah, I’ll agree mine was a bit premature. I was mainly anxious to see what the fluids looked like after the previous owner drove 28k miles in L.A. stop-and-go traffic. It’ll be interesting to see what these fluids look like after 35k miles of very mixed driving (cross-country trips... -
Change out differential and transfer case fluids
Got my fluids changed over the weekend as planned, just after cracking 36k miles. Many thanks to those who provided some helpful tips which made this an even easier DIY. My front & rear diff fluids looked pretty much new, but both drain plugs had (minimal) shavings. The transfer case fluid was... -
Towing with the LR4
Thank you, sir. Very cool! Our FJ40 is an '80, and I couldn't agree with you more regarding the RRC. It's also a seriously underrated off-roader—probably my favorite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Towing with the LR4
I tow 5500 & 6700 lbs at high elevation (up to 11000 feet) during the summers, and my '13 LR4 does very well. Hopefully I'll get to knock that load down ~800 lbs once I buy my own trailer. The quick-release hitch's max tongue weight of 770 lbs is sufficient for me. Also, Tahoes are great tow... -
Infotainment problems
Very interesting... Some of the steering wheel buttons on my '13 have been acting up lately, but only after pressing them. Like you, it only happens after I've been driving for over an hour or so. When pressing the volume up/down buttons, it skips multiple levels. Same skipping issue occurs when...
