    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I tend to look at the number of reviews on Amazon, if an item has say 10 then I take it with a pinch of salt; 100 reviews then I comb through them to figure out quality of the reviews; then and only then do I make a decision, it's basic stats at the end of the day! I also like YouTube...

    Lr4 Brakes

    I suspect that leading edge on the 2013 shoe helps reduce vibrations and therefore brake squeal

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I also put these on my wife's car and so far have had no complaints; I did this based on some comprehensive research after getting annoyed by the longevity of Bosch wipers! It appears that silicon wipers are the way to go when you're in the know...

    Rear door frame rust - driver/passenger sides

    Agreed, mud stuck in that trim area can be bad news, I don't recall the particular corrosion mechanism (there are three if I recall) but I believe standing mud can cause galvanic corrosion hence keeping these areas clean and sealed is important.

    Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons

    I have two garage door openers, one is quite new (circa 2021) the other is older (circa 2013). The LR4 works fine with the older one but not with the newer one. Both door openers have learn buttons (button color is important in the Chamberlain world)! Just an FYI.

    Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons

    My 2012 LR4 won't talk to my garage door (wrong technology), I had to purchase one of these as a relay: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LB16YQ5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The product states this: "855LM LiftMaster HomeLink Repeater Kit for Security+ 2.0 Garage Door...

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    FWIW - I also considered the OEM ones's too expensive and went with these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0843PW9PN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mine are clearly swollen; they look absolutely fine other than a 22mm socket doesn't fit!

    SCV6 Crankshaft Torque and Sequence

    Here's the video I was referring to: It's interesting to watch around 8mins but then the final tightening starts around 15min40s

    Mine's a Kona Honzo Carbon, third one in here, borrowing a friends bike rack! Likewise built at home!

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    Make sure you don't over tighten them when putting them back on! Note also that bolts have a tendency to swell over time so rather than being 22mm they end up being closer to 23mm... I believe the bolts are steel with a secondary stainless steel layer to look nice! The underlying steel core...

    SCV6 Crankshaft Torque and Sequence

    LR Time (YouTube) have worked on re-connecting the crank to the block; I suspect they cover the bolt sequence and torque if you're willing to watch the respective videos; they recently rebuilt a LR4 engine but not sure if the diesel and petrol engines are the same? Good luck.

    Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?

    Well done BigBriDogGuy - you have started the journey :). I agree with your approach, don't do the last ski run of the day if you're feeling tired... It's massively empowering to do your own work! Take your time. Well done.

    2011 LR4 TIMING JOB

    I also have this job in my future and like others have recommended I am in the process of "getting the knowledge"; I reckon this is going to take some time! I just watched the following series of videos and although it's a Range Rover Engine that also happens to be super charged there's value...

    Cosmetic for sun damage?

    What are peoples thoughts in terms of a good polish? I tend to use Autoglym super resin polish, it's a lightweight polish: https://www.autoglym.com/super-resin-polish-1 Curious to learn about other good ones, like powershift I'm in the process of polishing my LR4 regularly to spiff it up.

    Toll-road RDIF sticker on LR4 windshield

    This is true, but on a snowy cold morning I'm always thankful for the heater element... Different horses for different courses I guess!

    Nickname for LR4?

    Also, on the Doc theme is a great British TV series called Doc Martin :-). He drives a Lexus but has many of the traits of Jeremy in that he's crotchety... No name yet but thinking about it!
