    Exhaust opinion?

    Maybe that's what all of us working from home need to do...start the coffee maker, go out for a drive then come back and start our work day. ;)

    Exhaust opinion?

    Range Rover Sport SVR engine & exhaust system. I could live with this extra noise:

    Exhaust opinion?

    I'll have to agree as well. Why change such a smooth and quiet vehicle. If you do a search in the LR3 forum you can find a few people that installed the magnaflo exhaust then quickly took it off as the sound was too annoying.

    2012 LR4 HSE for sale

    Great deal but we already have two 2013 LR4's so we're all set. Did you try posting it in the LR3 forum as well? Could be someone there that wants to replace their LR3 with an LR4.

    2012 LR4 - Ticking saga...

    Could it be the cooling fan? Technician described it as a "bad fan clutch" and once replaced the additional noise was gone.

    Purchasing Pre-Owned LR4: 2015 vs. 2016

    No need to be angry about the full size spare as any LR4 can carry a full size spare. (It's not like a Q7 without any spare tire) You don't need the heavy duty package if only adding a full size spare. Just swap the donut spare for a full size wheel & tire. You do need the HD pack if you...

    Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British

    I didn't change anything. Just hooked up the boat trailer and everything worked fine. Rear view camera worked great to line-up the hitch with the trailer.

    Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British

    Hardest part was rotating the connector around in every direction to get it through the hole in the bumper. I did strip out the head on one of the screws. Pretty sure I ended up replacing 2 of the screws with better quality stainless steel screws.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Funny how many of us now have multiple LR4's.

    3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?

    I know one person with over 300K miles on that LR3 4.4 and another over 250K miles. That may be one of the longest lasting engines ever. (OK, maybe the Audi 2.8 from the late 1990's still has that title)

    Purchasing Pre-Owned LR4: 2015 vs. 2016

    Scott did a great job of covering the shipping issue above. And he's in NC too. I bought my CPO LR4 with 13K miles from a dealer in Chicago and had it shipped to Boston. Only reviewed photos and a Carfax report in hope that it was not in an accident. And I had the salesperson confirm in...

    2012 LR4 HSE for sale

    Yes! After seeing the Discovery SVX get cancelled, I'd certainly be interested in a V8 Defender/Defender SVX.

    Purchasing Pre-Owned LR4: 2015 vs. 2016

    I've read they went to the SCV6 for the 1 mpg increase. (CAFE compliance)

    Purchasing Pre-Owned LR4: 2015 vs. 2016

    Those of us that are used to the V8 in the 2010-2013 LR4 think the SCV6 in the 2014-2016 LR4 was a downgrade. However, since you are coming from an LR3, the SCV6 will be perfectly fine for you and you also get an 8-speed transmission. I'm not sure if there are any drastic differences between...

    2012 LR4 HSE for sale

    I agree, keep it to 150K miles. I'm at 119K miles and decided to take mine to 150K miles. At that point I will need the next set of new control arms, another transmission service, transfer case and differential fluid change, another set of brakes and rotors, probably another set of front hubs...

    3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?

    Mine: 119K miles, oil changed every 5K miles with basic Mobil 1 or Mobil 1 EP if available Hers: 37K miles, oil changed once a year with Mobil 1 AP Agree with the above. 5K to 7.5K intervals are perfectly fine. I get the Mahle oil filters from Atlantic British...

    Another Defender hint?

    The Audi plant in Slovakia resumes production on that same day. I know someone that ordered a 2020 SQ7 and they just got notice that they will receive a 2021 SQ7 instead, sometime later this year. Definitely a strong competitor to the RRS: https://www.audiusa.com/models/audi-sq7

    Slop in Steering. Steering Rack Replacement?

    Land Rover Cape Cod - just replied to your conversation message.

    Why is the "most capable 4x4" so fragile ?

    Probably not control arm bushings...yet. My knocking noise at about 40K miles was a bad stabilizer bar bushing.

    Slop in Steering. Steering Rack Replacement?

    At 110K miles my steering rack was leaking and the steering felt a little sloppy. When I picked it up with the new steering rack it handled like it was on rails. These suspension parts wear so slowly that when you finally replace them you notice the difference. But as noted above, the new...

    what’s the fastest you’ve gone in your LR4

    I don't mean to change the subject, but I was just thinking how great the leather seats look after 118K miles even with kids & the dog riding in the back. No wrinkles, cracking or tears whatsoever. Look as good as new and I only clean them once or twice a year with Lexol. Best quality leather...

    what’s the fastest you’ve gone in your LR4

    This is hysterical. I always wondered about reverse top speed and here's why...our kids bus stop in about 1/4 mile from our house. Once the bus comes I usually just back up to our house. I've hit around 25 mph and know that the speedometer shows the speed in reverse and ABS works well in...

    what’s the fastest you’ve gone in your LR4

    From my experience, the LR4 is perfectly comfortable doing 80-85 mph. Beyond that it's not as comfortable knowing there are so many bad drivers plus deer, moose and other animals wandering around out there. And troopers seem to take it personal once you are going more than 20-25 mph over the...
