    New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon

    Yes, I understand your point! I am from Wisconsin and, at least when I was younger, we had some serious snow. By cracky do you remember the winter of '78 ? - I was at university. It was the last time I saw thunder snow. When I was very young I remember my grandfather changing out the tires...

    First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.

    Can you please clarify "mid to late 2013", is there a way to track my 2013 VIN number vs the re-design date? Would be nice to know what my future may hold. Currently at about 90K and sounds like new... Thanks,

    Bought a used 2024 and wondering about Vehicle Care Protection & Vehicle Protection Plan

    I try to change at 5K miles but in reality it ends up at 7.5-10K.

    Bought a used 2024 and wondering about Vehicle Care Protection & Vehicle Protection Plan

    Oil and filter for one change can be purchased for less than $200 from reputable Rover parts vendors. Extraction tool is less than $200 and will last for many years. Oil filter tool is likely about $25 and lasts forever. Do it yourself.....

    New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon

    I know status changes, but I have them on the 2016. Because the 2016 was out of state I paid the price and had them done at the dealership in Rochester, NY. It took them a while to get the tires, (and a new spare) - I think it took them a couple of weeks - but I gave them several months notice...

    First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.

    I thought the timing chain issue was with the V8? Not the V6????

    First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.

    Welcome to the group - this is a great place to be! So that's the V6 with the supercharger and the 8 speed transmission. There are several other strings on this forum with that question, seek them out... Here are a few... Remove the appearance cover. At the oil filter at about 2:00, look...

    Front and rear differential service and engine oil service

    I know nothing about the Disco 5. But note that on the LR4 (Disco 4) front and rear differentials are NOT filled to the filler plug level. They are filled BY VOLUME. Also Front and rear and locking rear all use different fluids. Service interval on the front and rear is 10 yrs/150K miles...

    Discovery Transmission issues

    Not sure about the 2001, as a general statement, the transfer case function can be both internal to or external to the transmission itself. I can tell you that in my 2013-2016 LR4's the transfer case is separate and is external to the transmission proper. First find the leak. Remove all...

    Throttle body coolant line mystery

    I recommend you use a vacuum extraction tool. Couple of hundred $. A nice investment in tools.

    Dash Cam - Best Options?

    I have been considering installing a dash cam. Initially considering a VanTrue N5 but that's not really the question. At least with a quick look at the vendor website, I don't see an install manual, so typical questions remain. Mostly concerned about installation, where the wires will run...

    2012 LR4 coolant leak

    As long as it showed up in a comment above: Regarding the fuel flange recall. Red Rover 2015, completed recall at the Dallas dealership - no issues. White Rover 2016, completed recall - local Houston dealer did a botched job, ongoing fuel leaks until I could get it to another dealership...

    Project Dark Knight Rising

    Now that's a serious project !! Yes, the ZF 6HP 26 and 28 are identically mechanically. They produce different torque outputs and that is via the mechatronic and the software. If you pull the attached document it lists every mechanical part, and they are all identical.

    ECO (Auxiliary) Battery Recharge?

    It's a very simple task to change the battery. Exide EK 151 as per above. Get it from vendors in the UK, I source mine from Groves Batteries - even after the shipping it will still be much, much less expensive than obtaining the battery at a dealership. It's been a while since I looked for one...

    Control Arms

    I went with OEM. It's not too hard a job, you can do it yourself. But of course there are tricks - it IS a Rover after all. Then an alignment at your favorite shop. I have a video out there on YouTube for this project.

    Best windshield replacement option?

    So where EXACTLY does one obtain the Pilkington glass? i.e. name, address, phone number. The last time I tried, every "glass shop" in Houston claimed that it was not available in the states. (Classic Houston - would rather lose business than make even one phone call...) On that project I ended...
