    Howto: DIY LR4 Alternator replacement

    Sorry to revive and old thread, I’m having battery drain issues and trying to rule out the alternator. It pushes 14v when running and charges the batteries. Overnight when parked and locked they drain quite fast. I have the same year (2013) and traxide setup. Any information on the alternator...

    Rust around rear recovery point. Is this piece replaceable?

    Hi all. Any chance anyone knows if the piece in the pic is replaceable? If so can someone identify the part name or number? I don’t think its part of the recovery point metal. Seems to be quite thinner and has that rectangular cutout. Thanks in advance.

    ARGH! LR4 not starting, clicks and 4x4 screen comes up

    Thanks, car sat for 2 days. I had the CTEK on for a couple hours, and pulled the SM relay and put back in. I tried to start and it started straight up. I shut it down and it started fine again and drove all good. It’s not the OEM battery. It’s an Interstate model. I’ll see if starts later...

    ARGH! LR4 not starting, clicks and 4x4 screen comes up

    Hey all, This damn car is driving me insane. My wife rung this morning and couldn’t get the LR4 started. I was about a 5 hour drive away and the noise was like WTF. So being a good boy I drove the hell home and yup, no starting. I have an AUX Traxide set up and and had the CTEK on there for...

    18’s with 265/65/18. Traction control engaging on highway corners.

    I finally seem to have sorted to the issues with LCA’s and the alignment. I put Corse 18’s on with Cooper ST MAXX 265/65/18’s. When cornering at moderate speeds the traction control keeps engaging on dry roads. The car generally seems “wobbly”. I had the 19’s with LTZ Zeons and never had any...

    The never ending steering knock!!

    Forgot to reply to this. So i talked to AB and they promptly sent a new set of LCA’s. Had them installed and couldn’t believe what came off. Both LCA’s were cracked at the weld where the large bushing goes opposite of the ball joint. I’ve never seen anything like this before. So this cost so...

    The never ending steering knock!!

    Thanks all. I booked in to LR but it’ll be a week before they can get to it. I went by a place close to my work and they had a quick look with the jack under the control arm and lifted a couple inches. When they used a lever under the wheel they said the ball joints were moving up and down in...

    The never ending steering knock!!

    13 LR4 with 50k miles now. I replaced the lower control arms with new ones from Atlantic British. I got the supposed upgrade ones with the heavy duty bushes. I was feeling some knocking in the steering wheel on sharp bumps. After that it was still there. The mechanic I took it to said the driver...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    You were right for sure. I loaded up the rear with bags for 4 people and two 16” bikes in the rear, 4 bike rack with 4 bikes, 2 adults and 2 kids a dog, and the only extra thing I have permanent is the D34 battery. First time on the highway and the night before I put the Cooper recommend...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Thanks, I did ring Cooper and wasn’t sure I get the exact details from them. The lady had to look through heaps of files and there wasn’t a listing for LR4 so used LR3. She said the weight they had was 7100lbs and the pressures were F-40, R-42.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I didn’t get the 5th wheel yet. I was able to transfer over the TPMS no problem. However I never thought about that I could disable with the GAP tool. Probably would have if I knew ahead of time. The wheel nuts were confusing at first but a picture helped. I went with the DP Accessories ones in...

    Finally eliminated (275/65R18) tire rub at frame horn

    Anyone know the process for doing this as far as the welding? I’ve never welded on a vehicle before. I assume you disconnect batteries and have the earth as close to possible to the area being welded? Any chance a template would be floating around of the fill in piece? If not I’ll measure and...

    Tech requirements, driving a Euro LR4 in US/CA

    I looked into this for other countries but for the US it doesn’t seem that bad actually. Here are two good links; https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/importing-car https://myoverlandadventure.com/temporarily-importing-driving-foreign-vehicle-usa/ You are limited to one year and must...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Hi all, I’ve just fit the Evo Corse wheels with ST Maxx in 265 65 18. One question I couldn’t seem to nail down was for tire pressure. Anybody have any recommendations? I have done the dual battery this week with Optima and will do rear fridge soon. So not as weighted as would be with bull bars...

    Traxide D3-DU dual battery kit on 2013 LR4 Help Please..

    Thanks mate, I got it today in the end. Ended up doing the same. Was a little harder because the Negative terminal had to be forward and the USI-160 is a lot larger and has two Positive terminal posts. It was quite the hassle because every thing I remember from the last install is backwards. I...

    Definitive roof rack thread?

    I’ve been wanting to do the ProSpeed rack for ages. Only just saw the posts about short rails. I definitely have the full length rails. Does anyone have a pic and or clearer description of what is required to fit the ProSpeed rack. Thanks

    Traxide D3-DU dual battery kit on 2013 LR4 Help Please..

    Hi all, I started my dual battery install today using a Traxide D3-DU kit and Optima D34. When I was living in New Zealand I installed a kit made for the Discovery 4 3.0 Diesel over there and it was super easy. On this one I am a bit confused though. Everything is backwards. But at least I...
