New Voyager Low Profile Roof Rack and Ladder
Just keep an eye on it. My Voyager rock sliders chipped and rusted like no one's business. I wish they had used some type of zinc coating or something to protect them better. It seemed like it was simple paint on raw steel. When I removed the sliders after a few years' use, the biggest mess was...- Surfrider77

End of the road for me (for now)
Well, my time contracting here in the Middle East is done. With that came the sale of my LR4 yesterday. I have to say, this has been my most favorite vehicle that I have ever owned. It was always up for any off-road adventure I could think of our here. Giant 100+ft sand dunes, sharp rocky...- Surfrider77

Rear spare tire carrier
Yep, I wanted a Kaymar for ages but they stopped selling in the USA. You'd pay massive shipping direct from Aus and then have to pay import fees. It's a shame.- Surfrider77

Not my month...22k. Timing chain and coolant leak, thoughts.
After all of the issues with the 5.0L V8 and the leaking water pump / crossover pipe to the point they had to release a TSB... how is this still a thing in the new SCV6 engines!??- Surfrider77

Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
@jwest Talking about road noise... I love my BFG TA KO2, but dear lord are they noisy. I swear they weren't this bad when I put them on. As they have worn over the last year, they are definitely noisier. Small price for an otherwise fantastic tire.- Surfrider77

LR4 Accessories
I think its safe to say the electronics in these trucks are miles behind for the luxury market. BMW should be industry standard in this price bracket. I would love the Merc's Burmester audio option. Not even the D5 is up to snuff. Land Rover always feels a generation behind.- Surfrider77

Has anyone done any exhaust modifications to their SCV6 LR4?
Just FYI re: the Magnaflow on a V8: Do NOT do it! That's money I threw down the toilet. The Good: -It sounds fantastic under acceleration -It burbles and pops in Sport shift mode on downshifts! The Bad: -Drone. Crazy drone at cruising speeds. Drove me insane. The Ugly: -Poor design. It...- Surfrider77

Wear & Tear hvac knobs - door armrest
That knob wear is crazy. Mine still look brand new 5 years on. I live in the Middle East and it is FAR hotter than FL, so I doubt heat is the issue. I also rest my elbow on the door sill like you and have a mark, but not worn through. The natural arm rest in the door is stupid low. Who has...- Surfrider77

Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
I don't think you can just "flash" a truck with a supercharger like you do a turbo car like a VW / BMW. Those flashes will adjust wastegate actuation in a turbo system, adding more actual boost pressure. Superchargers work completely differently. I think one of the main way to seek power gains...- Surfrider77

Signs that LCAs need to be replaced
My dealer claimed it was a wear and tear item and they were not covered. YMMV. I do off-road more than most and mine didn't last more than 30k miles or so.- Surfrider77

Signs that LCAs need to be replaced
This is the exact diagnosis my local service center suggested. Get it up a few miles an hour and apply the brakes hard. Immediately get that "clunk" sound and can reproduce it every time. Prior to this I would get the occasional clunk when going over small bumps etc, which led me to believe the...- Surfrider77

Nice low mileage find! You're probably better off with a FL truck that has never seen yearly winter salt, unlike a PNW truck. Congrats and enjoy!- Surfrider77

Buying help needed!!!
Beautiful truck!! I would have chosen the same. Being truthful, I am not a fan of the silver arch / mirror wrap. I'd keep it completely blacked out.- Surfrider77

Radiator leak
Firstly, are you 100% sure it is the radiator? The LR4 5.0L V8 has a known issue with leaky water pump / crossover pipe. There's actually a Technical Service Bulletin about it. That said, if it were the radiator I would look to find one used online or out of a scrap yard. No point in paying full...- Surfrider77

Gear Shift Selector
Paddles sound like an absolute nightmare when driving in sand. Sometimes you hit the really soft stuff and I can react very quickly to slap the stick into lower gear and pull myself out of the situation. Carrying speed / momentum is the name of the game driving in the sand dunes here. Those...- Surfrider77

Sell a 2010 and buy a 2013?
I'm looking at making a move out of the Middle East and to the UK. This is the first vehicle I have loved so much, I want to go buy another. I can't take my left-hand-drive LR4 to the UK, so I need to sell my 2013 V8 and purchase a right-hand-drive in the UK. I am likely going to buy a 2016 with...- Surfrider77

Sweet Sounding F-Pace
In case this thread veers into asking about the Magnaflow exhaust for the LR4, I paid for it, put it on and eventually went back to the stock exhaust. It sounded amazing, but there was definitely a drone. It also was poorly engineered and the muffler hung significantly lower than the stock one...- Surfrider77

Saying goodbye to an albatross
I was under the impression the alternator in the LR4 was a sealed unit. Part of the over-engineering that went into these trucks for the off-road / wading capabilities. http://wardsauto.com/news-analysis/land-rover-lr4-sure-footed-elegant-pricey- Surfrider77
