    Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons

    @txfromwi I had the same problem initially. Where I was going wrong is I just programmed the soft button on the LR4 but never activated the "learn" function on the garage door opener. Apparently some garage doors will sync up just by programming the HomeLink soft key on the vehicle. Mine...

    LR4/3, Range Rover, and Disco Seats (Interchangeable?)

    It's not on the top of my "to do" list, but I will let you know what I find out. My thought is you may be able to swap out the leather-covered cushions rather than pulling the entire seat mechanisms. Where I really see this as a possibility is if I get into a Disco II. I've been doing an...

    LR4/3, Range Rover, and Disco Seats (Interchangeable?)

    Lately I've been admiring the look of two-tone seats and reddish brown seats that I have seen in other Land Rover models for sale online (mostly Range Rover). Don't get me wrong, My seats are great, heated and all that. In really good condition. Just your basic black, but goes well with the...

    Backup Camera stopped working with no explanation

    I just had the same problem, but intermittently. Lately, I've noticed when I back out of my garage the backup camera starts out fine, but when I put it into drive there is a brief bluescreen with the camera logo crossed out before it transitions to the normal home screen. Last night, it was...

    Check All Tire Pressure Fault

    I got the idiot light last night that said my right rear was low. After that, it prompted me to check all tire pressures. Luckily, I was at a gas station/truck stop that had air. It was dark and hard to read the manual gauge on the air nozzle but I aired up all four corners to what was...

    Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons

    Finally got around to getting my LR4's HomeLink (located on the bottom of the rearview mirror) programmed to open my Genie garage door opener. Had been using the clunky plastic clip-on garage door opener clamped onto my sun visor. (Hopefully those impression marks will fade over time). Now...

    Front Bull bar Lr4 2014

    @CRYA I love your rig. Super sharp looking. I do like the look of the ARB. I still think modifications can overpower the vehicle to the point where it is almost indistinguishable from any other off-road brand or model. For instance... I love the look but seems like it could be just about...

    Front Bull bar Lr4 2014

    " ...the huge ARB bumper that disfigures the whole front." I sort of agree on that point @loowee . In fact, I look at the grill and headlight area of my LR4 and it is probably the sharpest looking aspect of the entire rig. I just can't cover it in something that looks like the facemask of a...

    2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay

    @powershift I'd do a ton of research if I had to drop a new motor into mine and I wouldn't pull the trigger until I was 100% comfortable with the situation. That would include getting quotes from no less than three reputable shops so I can get a sense of the market. For me, it's just too big...

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    The maddening part is that it's the little things that stop you dead in your tracks. Back in the day, I had an old, beat up, Chevy pickup. I was living in a remote area of Montana and would need to drive down a couple miles of dirt road to get to pavement. When they graded the dirt road that...

    Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?

    I, for one, have not done brakes since I was born, but I did do one side today. Rear passenger's side with the sensor. I went really slowly and got it done. Lots of great videos with tips and tricks were incredibly helpful. It's the little things that were the most valuable, things that...

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    Followed up on the Les Schwab idea early this morning. Turned out to be a good move. They were able to get my lug nuts off without any problem in the process of rotating my tires (something that needed to be done anyway). While the tires and wheels were off, they also informed me that my...

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    As you can see, the wheels and lug nuts look in good condition. I'm also using a pretty heavy-duty lug wrench. I've shot all of them up with WD-40 and am going to let them sit overnight. Is there something I'm missing here? Could they be locking in a way that I am just not seeing? Anyone...

    Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?

    Thanks @ftillier. No manual. Just lots of YouTube vid watching. My worn pad sensor went off and then I looked around for professional help and it is either booked out until forever or really expensive for the type of work being done. The vids are pretty darn good. One question I had is that...

    Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?

    Well, looks like I am going to take the plunge into doing my own brakes. Watching the videos and such it seems if there were something a guy could do on his own, changing brake pads would be it. Any suggestions or tips would be welcome.

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Thanks @ftillier. So you could drop a RR SC engine into a Disco? Interesting... Good to know.

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    @Tapps33 how is the supercharger project coming? Also, I had a question along those same lines. Seems like guys pretty routinely will do an LS engine swap in a Disco II, for instance, so I'm confused why a Range Rover supercharged engine would be such a problem for the LR4 to accept. In...

    Rover Landers British Columbia Club Founder's Day Event

    Been crushing on the Disco IIs and got a chance to see a few up close and personal. More importantly, was able to talk to a few of the owners that filled me in on the particulars. I was strongly considering a 2004 because they had the center locking diff. What these folks said is that the...

    There's more, but you get the idea. Lots of LRs under one roof.
