Highest mileage LR4?
College son drives the LR4 [v8 hse lux]; it now has 106k miles. Been looking for a D5 for the wife but want a newer one with the ingenium inline 6/48volt electric boost....seems to be a unicorn here on the east coast. A number of them are available 2021 and before with the SCv6. Actually after... -

maintenance history since new 2013
IMHO, the Lr4 was pretty cutting edge on the tech side when it came out. A lot of those systems are more "fragile" then the typical suv-truck set up like traditional coil springs and shocks etc. The plastic cooling parts really suck but if not mistaken BMW started this many years prior to the... -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
i would just get one of the cheapo ebay ones or perhaps a good southern car junk yard special. its not like the winch is rocket science. I think the ebay ones are like $60 -

Metal plumbing available for LR4 coolant system?
AFIK, the aftermarket only makes the aluminum replacemenet crossovers for the SCv6 3.0. Seems like it would not be that difficult to make it for the NA v8 but i guess the demand must be rather low. -

Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off
how old is your spare? Most times, spares are the age of the vehicle and the TPMS batteries have long since died. The LR4 system is dynamic and as soon as it reads correct pressure from the snesors it will turn off the light..sometimes takes a fefw miles of driving. this system also has a small... -

maintenance history since new 2013
wow, interesting things breaking on your LR4: lower steering shaft? not common, i dont think. You are correct, parts [OE] are kind of expensive but some of the chineseuim stuff is just crap; even it is my lobor, this beast is enough trouble to work on that i dont want to do many of the things... -

Increased Performance
for the suspension bushings i really like the meyle HD LCAs. Rubber bushings that ride almost as nice as oem but should outlast them. Previous owner's shop fitted green stuff pads...they stop and perform well but make a lot of dust. I am happy with the 5.0 v8 performance as is. -

Control arm fail
replaced my front LCAs about 10k miles ago (around 90k miles on the clock). The uppers front and rear look basically new. there must be another problem your disco has that is causing the wear on the UCAs -

front drivetrain noise
i would suspect the driveshaft carrier bearing for the thumping noises. As for the other, ours ate its transfer case bearings last year. started out as a small whine and continued to get louder. eventually was very loud and had to have the t-case replaced at about 90k miles. -

whine on cold start
Ok my son's 2011 v8. Started it up yesterday [coldish morning 30 f], pretty audible whine coming from front at idle. continued to whine for a fefw minutes. when warmed it whine went away. Sounded kind of like a bearing whine. any ideas? perhaps idler bearing for belt? alternator bearing? Not... -

Left (driver) front fender flare wheel arch question
i believe the early lr3 ones were textured black and the last year model or so were smooth painted to match body color as wtih the LR4. You would need the smooth one for painting purposes -

2012 Lr4 service required message “Reset”
Use your GAP tool and under instrument pack, you can reset it. After 15k miles, it will appear each time car is started and then stay there either until you hit ok to dismiss or for a short while then go away. Wish there was a way to reprogram to like 5k miles which should the maximum oil change... -

The V8 crossover front pipe is still the two piece "welded" design. I think they re-engineered the v6 front crossover to a one piece tube -

shopping for D5
Wow, is the D5 reawlly that bad. Not getting rid of the LR4; my son is driving it away at his University. I would really like to get the newer one with the inline 6/mild hybrid but really none around except a brand new one at local dealer...[not interested in the massive depreciation on this.]...- ugmw177

shopping for D5
Hi all, My Wife is interested in a Discovery 5 [full size, not sport] here in the US. We have an LR4 petrol v8 [great car but takes a lot of maintenance]. Just looking for a rundown of things we should be on the lookout for on the Discovery 2017-present. I assume the early ones had the same...- ugmw177

Tried to get my suspension fixed
Wow, it baffles me how an alighment shop would return the car to the customer with the wheel off. It is not rocket science. they should set the wheel straight, use a clamp to hold it there then set the toe in with the tie rods. The camber adjustments is what some shops do not understand on the... -
