    Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)

    Thanks @hickersb that looks right. I can't imagine it would be any different on a RR than a LR. I wonder if these are the ones for the tailgate? I don't see any screw heads on mine. They just look like plastic button heads...

    Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)

    Since we are on the topic. I have a couple real minor fasteners that I would like to replace, but they appear to be black plastic. One is the screw tab for the rear bumper plate that covers the recovery ring and tow wiring. There are two that are underneath and hold the plate in place. When...

    Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input

    @nwoods interesting take on the DIY. I'm like you, polar opposite of mechanically inclined. Owning this LR4 has gotten me thinking about picking up a wrench and learning to use it. I already have in lots of ways, not the engine, but things like trailer hitch and wiring harness and roof rack...

    Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...

    @TonyInIdaho that's pretty amazing. Based upon the size of the LR4, I would never have thought it was capable of towing these larger/heavier trailers. I have a 2011 V8 and it is rated for 7,700 lbs. That seems like pushing it to me. But maybe not.

    Modernize the infotainment without hacking :P

    I'm really enjoying all this creativity. This has been a hot topic on other threads as well. Lots of aftermarket upgrade options, but none of them seems to offer the perfect solution. For me, the perfect solution would be something that retains all the features and functionality of the...

    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    Everyone has their own pain points they are willing to tolerate, but I'm sorry, the minute I find myself staring down $5, $7, or $10,000 repair bills, my LR4 becomes a "disposable razor" to me.

    Hyundai just built a LR4

    @djkaosone went to the Wagoneer website and the interior seats fold down flat. I'm a little disappointed to tell you the truth. KIAs (*cough cough* I mean Hyundai) and Wagoneers are copying those things I like about the LR4. Hey, here's a Nissan Pathfinder. Look familiar?

    Indy Shop Over-Charging?

    Thanks @ftillier. By the way, you really have been on some adventures (looking at you chiming in on previous posts). I was pretty specific in stating that they could skip it if they didn't know how to do it. I just came in for a straight oil change and mentioned they could throw in the...

    Indy Shop Over-Charging?

    Got an oil change with full synthetic and it cost me $175 (plus tax). Last oil change less than 6 months ago was $150. Plus, I asked them about programming my tow stuff because I just added the wiring with a brake controller. They couldn't figure it out and tried calling the LR Help Desk and...

    2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage

    I have the 5.0L V8. I expected the MPG to be horrific. It hasn't been that bad. I took an over 800 mile round trip drive a couple of weekends ago. When I filled up after, it said I had a range of well over 300 miles. I think my average MPG was close to 15. That's not great and with premium...

    Showoff Your LR4

    @Jimmy Brooks in an earlier post you mentioned a "ceramic" coating that got your LR4 to shine. I have the same black and notice it shines pretty good (when washed). Not sure if it ever had the treatment you speak of. I suspect it's just the regular paint after getting a wax and clear coat...

    @Jimmy Brooks Looking good. What kind of roof rack do you have?

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Tried to go camping today and that was disappointing. My youngest daughter has really been looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, it's not the same world out there as when I was growing up. We first tried going to a state park that had overnight camping on a lake. I had called...

    Showoff Your LR4

    We tried to go camping today but every spot was taken. Went up into the woods on some steep, narrow, back roads near Mt. Baker, WA. Finally decided to turn around and head back home. Rig got a good workout and I was able to use a lot of functions that I wouldn't normally. With 8 and...

    Long crank, no faults

    Glad I was able to witness the culmination of the long-running saga. Always seems to be the way it is though, right? Complicated problem that ends up having a simple solution.

    LR4 Injector Replacement

    What does replacing your fuel injectors get you? I ask because I'm thinking about doing some things in not too distant future to improve the performance of the vehicle. Should new fuel injectors be on the list, and what can I expect from replacing them?

    E on dash and LR3 wont start all Errors flash up

    When mine lit up like a Christmas tree, it was because the alternator went down. Drained the battery and, as that happened, more and more warning lights came on while less and less functions worked. When the tow guy came to pick it up, he had to hook up his portable battery unit just to get...

    Discovery Sport Bluetooth issue

    My neighbor lady has a 2018 Disco 5 Sport (I have a 2011 LR4 Lux) and she was telling me about the problems she has with it. One of the main things she wanted when she bought the car from our local used luxury car dealership was for it to have Android Auto. She has a bit of an oddball phone, a...

    Wood panel door inserts

    Okay, so this is where it's gotten to. I noticed that the wood door panel inserts on my LR4 have hairline cracks in the clear plastic cover over the faux wood grain on the driver's side front and passenger doors. It really doesn't bother me and it's barely noticeable, but it is clearly...

    Low Battery Warning while camping overnight....

    @djkaosone that was a good tip that I got in response to my drive-in movie nightmare. Now the dome light off is my default. Seems I'm constantly opening and closing the thing or leaving the rear open. Most times, I don't need the interior lights and, when I do, it's easy enough to reactivate...

    LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?

    My other choices would be a Dodge Durango RT or Grand Caravan. I also like the idea of a Toyota Sequoia. Truthfully, I wouldn't have a problem with a Toyota Highlander or even an AWD Sienna. I actually kind of like the look of the Lincoln Aviator. It's a 3-row, mid-sized, SUV, so that's...

    Has anyone installed these defender style lights?

    I like the way my stock lights look on the LR4. My problem is they won't adjust to illuminate the road straight ahead and parallel and they aren't very bright. After messing with them over a period of several days and getting nowhere, a member told me to forget it. He had been down the same...

    Trailer light question

    I mentioned this issue when I went to the local trailer shop and they plugged in their pigtail testing unit into my 7-pin. The pigtail was about 10 feet long so he could go up to the controls by the driver's side door and test everything while he was reading the tester. He said "Everything...

    Suspension failure warning- won’t raise out of access height

    I had a lot of suspension issues and getting a cheap knockoff compressor solved them all. I've owned my LR4 since March. Lot of threads to search here on suspension issues. A guy might check those out to see if the answer has already been discussed. These kinds of problems and fixes seems to...
