Air suspension reliability?
2013 LR4 with 83,000 miles. Bought the car new. I had to replace air Compressor at around 80K miles and front left " air strut" more or less at 70K mile mark. Keep in mind that my LR4 has been used for off roading regularly and it has some extra weight ( full set of skid plates from Tactical... -

Signing off
I knew that this sad day would have to come. Thank you so much for all your contribution to this forum. Your transition to a new defender and saying "goodbye" to your LR4 just brought lots of memories ex. - we were early adopters of tactical rovers underbody protection (I believe that Eric was... -

Another Defender hint?
Umberto, I am sorry you can not get a new defender for the next year or two but at the same time I am really happy we will have you on this forum next few years. My gues is that once a new defender will hit tbe showrooms discovery 5 will not sell at all. We should see great deals on new and... -

Another Defender hint?
Central auto inflation / deflator system. The way they did it ( if it is true) seams to me overcomplicated. More and more electronics to fail. What if you want to put different tires ,wheels, to replace low profile stock tires with high profile E rated tires. I met people who were land rover... -

Suspension creaking squawking
My LR4 just developed this creak and squeal from the rear when going slowly over bump stops. Started reading this thread , went to the garage, opened the tailgate and pushed down on it. It creaks like an old mattress so must be rear sway bar bushings, right? Anyone knows how much it cost to... -

More proof the LR4 is a very safe vehicle
LR4 is very safe. This is my 2011 LR4 when Honda Odyssey driver run the red light and hit our 2 year old LR4 head on. My wife and kids were fine but LR4 was totaled. At collision center we were told that body on frame construction saved my family. Too bad Land Rover dose not make LR4 any more... -

SELLING Grey Compomotive Wheels & 265/65 BFG KO2 Tires!!!
I almost forgot how brand new anthracite compomotive wheels looked like. Too bad they do not fit new Discovery and you have to sell them. Are you sure nothing can be done to make them work? I am still in love with my compos I have had for almost 6 years. They are bulletproof. Back in 2013, in... -

BFG KO2 265/65 18 PSI?
We had this discussion on the forum before. Some people contacted BFG regarding this. Those are E rates tires, not P tires and they should be run at higher pressure then LR factory P tires. I used to run my BFG 265/65/18 at 42Psi front and 48PSI back for quite long time. I had no problems and... -

Spare tire
When getting full size spare tire do not forget about 5 wheel rotation pattern. Otherwise your full size spare may be useless when you need it one day. ( or should I say your diff. may not like it ) -

what say you?
I am just confused. What is going on with land rover. Discovery5 has nothing in common with Discovery line. It is a capable car but has no character and looks like any other cross over on the market. These new spy shots of future Defender..... Are they just refreshing LR4 and calling it... -

Locking the LR4 : Hatch
2013 LR4 . I can lock the car with my remote then go to the tailgate and open it. All the doors stay locked. When my tailgate is open I can open the lower portion of a tailgate without my smart key and all the doors still stay locked. I hope this will help. -

Land Rovers Suck!! Hear me out!
Matt, I am puzzled too. The plastic pipe may be crappy but if It fsiled just after one year then something is/ was wrong. Are you sure the installation was correct? -

Land Rovers Suck!! Hear me out!
I asked if there were any aftermarket crossover pipes ( especially not plastic) but was told that nothing was available. So,my crossover pipe was replaced with a new Fo Mo Co part. Anyone knows about other options? -

Land Rovers Suck!! Hear me out!
This is my crossover pipe story. About 2 minutes form home low coolant message appeared. AC became weaker. ( outside temp was 106*F. ) Parked the truck in my garage , got out of the car and I could smell burning coolant. At the same moment coolant started pouring down on the garage floor. Lost... -

Trade in *mint* 2015 CPO for higher mileage 2014 ?
What is the selling price for 2014 corris grey and what will you get for your 2015 on trade in? You still will have to pay off your car loan of more or less $34,000 first. So, price of your trade in, minus $34,000 on loan balance plus $10,000 is the price for a new car? Something does not add... -

Trade in *mint* 2015 CPO for higher mileage 2014 ?
I wouldn't do it just to get a different color. Is the change worth $10,000 ? Plus more miles on odometer and no CPO. It just does not make any sense. You asked so I answered. But,.... it is your money and you can do whatever you want. Do whatever will make you happy. -

Need a clear Off-Road tire option answer for 2011 LR4
Jwest is right 100%. I have been doing 5 tire rotation on my LR4 . I never had a flat tire with BFG TA KO 265/65/18 but...just few days ago I got a flat on my Audi S4. Audi came with a spare doughnut so at least I had something to use. My flat tire could not be repaired so I got a new one. Not a... -

Hi Umberto, Congratulations on your 172K miles. Out 2013 is just shy of 54,000 I had less issues with it then with my 2014 audi S4. Since we have almost the same set up on our trucks I have a question for you. Do you keep your skid plates all the time or you take them off ( fuel tank) when not... -
