LR4 Low Compression
I hope I'm not too late to the discussion, it could be carbon buildup on the back of the valve. With direct injection carbon can build up on the back of the valves and eventually prevent the valves from closing all the way. Pull the intake manifold and inspect the valves. It doesn't take very... -

Castrol Synthetic Motor Oil Choices
While it doesn't directly answer you question I'll share my experience. I use Castrol Edge Extended Performance 5W-20 Full Synthetic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JGQM1WO/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_v7Q3CbR53X0DG I change it every 5,000 and send a sample to Blackstone labs for testing. The report... -

Change LR4 default vehicle height
This could be a nice feature. A real OCD owner might not like this. Articulating the lower bushings every time you park could cause premature failure. A guy wouldn't get any sleep a tnight knowing those bushings are under unnecessary tension. haha -

2013 LR4 Home Setting in Navigation
I see what you are thinking here, you don't want the thief to find your house from the vehicle navigation. I respect that concern, I have thought that too. Don't over think it though. Is the registration and insurance current on your vehicle? Do you keep documentation of this in your glovebox... -

Preemptive 80K mile service...

DIY Oil Change for LR4
You are talking about a different style of engine. On an engine with no drain plug and a top mounted cartridge style oil filter (i.e. LR4 engine) I feel that it is best to loosen the filter first. This allows the oil in the filter to drain into the oil pan. Then you can syphon the oil out, once... -

DIY Oil Change for LR4
Loosen the filter first. Then it will drain while you syphon the rest of the oil out. It makes things a bit cleaner and gets more of the old oil out. -

Please understand that I am only reviewing the Baja STZ in the 265/60R18 size on a 2003 Discovery, while the other sizes of the STZ are nearly identical they are all different. Results will vary between tire sizes, vehicles, road conditions, and drivers. The prices and websites are accurate as...
