    Lem Forder - Control Arms

    Anyone have any experience with control arms made by Lem Forder? Mine need replacing & when I got the quote I challenged the shop that services my LR4 on the cost of the parts. I was told these are superior to say the parts listed on Atlantic British for $149. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Best roof rails and roof rack?

    I went with the Yakima Lock-N-Load platform on Yakima crossbars & factory rails. I like being able to take the platform off with ease when not in use - which is most the time. Will take every extra MPG I can get with this rig !

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    Got my recall done. Interesting - the letter stated 2-3 hours. My dealer needed 3 days, said they had to drop the gas tank. After picking up the vehicle, 10 miles down the road the "Check Gas Cap" light comes on. Checked it 3 times & keeps coming on. Called the dealer and they claimed it could...

    Battery replacement - diagnostic procedures ?

    It's time to replace the main battery on my 2016 LR4. I have replaced batteries in the past on less "sophisticated" vehicles easily. Is there any diagnostic or computer related step that needs to happen once the new battery is in on this vehicle ?

    CPO warranty valuation?

    According to Land Rover the CPO warranty does not cover any plastic components. They denied coverage on my recent replacement of the front crossover pipe. You got yours covered ?

    Off topic - but gotta ask. What do you do for service in Mammoth Lakes? I visit there often & have wondered about owning a Land Rover in a relatively remote place.

    ECO Throttle Battery - 2016 LR4

    Please do post up how it works out. Seems like it should work. Agreed $300 is nuts for a battery !

    ECO Throttle Battery - 2016 LR4

    Yeah - I thought about that as an option but my understanding is that when you replace the battery you need to tell the vehicle (via a diagnostic tool) that there is a NEW battery. I don't have such a tool. Thanks for the battery info.

    ECO Throttle Battery - 2016 LR4

    A few weeks ago the ECO throttle light illuminated with the error message "Eco Throttle Not Available". A little research here & on other forums point towards the 2nd battery that is apparently dedicated to this feature. I consulted both a local Land Rover/British Car repair shop and my local...

    Does the reset apply to the Eco Start Stop battery ?

    The ladder is a Frontrunner. Pretty easy install & solid.

    Definitive roof rack thread?

    I was looking for a small light duty platform that I could easily remove when not being used for an extended period of time. I opted for the Yakima Lock-N-Load (K-55"x49"). It attaches to my existing Yakima crossbars and can be easily removed. It sits a little higher than I would like but...

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

    Never claimed that the Tahoe had the same potential as the LR4. Was merely making a point about durability in light off road usage for a vehicle that lays its claim to fame to off road ruggedness. Unacceptable for these parts to fail this soon. But, I have learned to live with it (for now) as I...
