Caked on Brake dust removal tips?
Can I safely use this without jacking up the Rover and removing the wheels first? I saw some comments about it stripping the rotors. I am a careful person I'm pretty wound up about keeping a clean Rover myself. If I had been the original owner of my current LR4 I never would have let the... -
Rhino / ox hitch option
If memory serves, there was an issue with those bushings being reverse labeled in the early batches (one for LR3, one for LR4) as you encountered. As you found it was easy to determine which one fit snugly. Big fan of the Rhino hitch. -
Rhino / ox hitch option
Welcome to the Rhino hitch fam. You will love the way it works for you and even the looks on your rear bumper are good for style points. I just used mine this morning with my heavy Thule 2-bike tray system carrier. The one and only issue I've had with it is seasonal. Sometimes after long... -
Caked on Brake dust removal tips?
When I bought my preowned '13, the 10-spoke wheels had similar deposits in the corners. All this time I thought it was damage to the paint itself. It has always bothered me even though it's hardly noticeable to the casual observer after the wheels are cleaned. I even thought about getting them... -
3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?
Thanks for the input. I wasn't asking about OCI but furnished my info in the interest of giving as much relevant data as possible to John in case it influenced the advice he might offer (to my specific driving pattern, mileage, etc.). I agree I could go longer between changes but I decided to... -
Anyone here with a marmaris teal LR4?
Resurrecting this ancient thread because this color (Marmaris Teal) came up in a conversation I was having with an owner on Instagram who has an LR4 in this color. He was told that only 600 were produced worldwide (he wasn't able to verify that). He is in Costa Rica and says that only 3-4 made... -
Tire Match F/R
I'm sorry I can't quote a source, but I'm pretty sure that I was told that until you get to a tread depth difference of 3/32" or more, the transmission would tolerate it. That puts your situation into worrisome territory. I had a similar situation but my tires were much newer so I was able to... -
Exhaust opinion?
It really is therapeutic. I have done my share of "essential" errands: Beer/wine/liquor runs, cigars, snacks, hoagies and pizza pickups, etc. It's so nice to just drive, especially in a Rover. -

Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British
I was going by a comment in another thread that was specifically about the TSA feature: https://www.landroverworld.org/posts/179209/ Look at the LR video above this comment in that thread. It says that TSA is automatic and doesn't even require the trailer electronics to be connected. That... -
Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British
At the time I got mine the price difference was $20 or $30 if memory serves. Enough to make me lean to the AB product based on its solid reviews. But if you found OEM for that price I'd do that all day long. Even though this install takes a bit of fiddling around, I think you'll find it to be... -
Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British
I bought a $6 trailer light tester dongle as part of the install prep. That way you don't need the hassle of backing up to and connecting to a trailer to test your connections, blinkers, etc. Do you get any current when you use a circuit tester on the existing wiring? Is everything connected... -
3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?
A: I really don't know. Because sometimes we get factory advice that is demonstrable BS driven by CAFE standards and other factors that may not have anything to do with ensuring the longevity of our vehicles? I'm not trying to argue after asking for your advice. The reason I asked is precisely... -
Exhaust opinion?
Exactly my view. The LR4 for me strikes an almost perfect balance between elegance and serious capability. Loud exhaust sounds? Nope. There's no checkbox for that on my personal spec sheet. But I will always go back to encouraging people to do what they want with their pride and joy. I think... -
Exhaust opinion?
Normally I would not comment on another person's mods if they weren't to my taste. But since you asked: This is not to my taste. -
3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?
Your responses, reasoning, and even tone have generated a lot of credibility in my mind. Is it your position that my 2013 5.0L engine could safely transition to 0-20 Castrol? I'm in the Mid-Atlantic (DC, so hot summers and fairly mild winters), work from home so no daily commute, and I enjoy... -
2012 LR4 HSE for sale
Very nice. Hope it winds up with someone who appreciates what they're getting. -
Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British
I can only address a couple of your questions. I have towed with a 2011 and a 2013 (both HSE trim level) and neither required any software flash to provide basic towing features, most notably towing sway control. This is built in. I never missed the backup alignment assist feature. Re lights... -
2015 LR4 BRAKES
I enjoy the powerfuluk guy's style of how-to videos; good stuff. -
Trailer Wiring Kit from Atlantic British
This was my install experience to a tee, on both of my LR4s. Except in my case I had the reverse of the OP's situation with loose screws. For me, the screws to mount the connector were incredibly tight. I also had the issue with the grommet not placed correctly. I made it work as-is because I... -
what’s the fastest you’ve gone in your LR4
I've been just under 100mph in mine. Felt solid and planted but that's as fast as I would take this one for grins. I, too, had a flappy A-pillar at speed just a few days after I got my first LR4. Kind of alarming and frankly embarrassing, haha. -
Easter Eggs
During the hot summer I use this feature a fair amount. If I've been parked in the sun, I will lower all the windows as I approach the Rover. I'll even pop the sunroof open if it's really a steamer. I feel like it helps release all the superheated air inside. Then I blast the AC on Max and close... -
Windshield wipers obnoxiously scraping
I spent some lockdown time doing a deep cleaning of the LR4 including the lower side trim strips. I admire that particular part every morning when I'm doing my bootcamp group workouts via Zoom in the garage. I will hit those areas with this product, too. -
Windshield wipers obnoxiously scraping
I will try this product. For as methodical as I am when washing my Rover, I give short shrift to the wiper blades during the soapy phase. I notice this every time I'm finishing it off with the synthetic chamois. When I wipe the blades they always leave a black streak on the cloth... -
Windshield wipers obnoxiously scraping
I agree with @PaulLR3 . I use either Rain-X periodically, or a product called WashWaxAll that is a waterless wash fluid for my exterior. It is basically a detailing product for very lightly soiled vehicles; the same type of spray you would use when using a claybar. It also works great on glass.
