    BCM replacement

    Didn't see these details in your post: did you test the battery? age? might need a new one. did you test alternator? did you clear all codes manually before seeing which return? "lost communication" and "circuit voltage/current below threshold" are usually due to low battery, and not real...

    Suspension Issue

    Since your front dropped most, your issue is most likely in that area (not center/rear) Put in off-road height and spray soapy water on the Voss connector at the top of each front strut (again) A mirror can help see bubbles better Spray and inspect the front block(again) - but internal leaks...

    Installed new transmission pan coversion. Kit

    was your gasket paper? some switch to the aluminum w/ rubber lip (mine was/is paper and has no leaks - but not everyone has the same result) also - making sure you switched to the shorter bolts, did not re-use your old?

    Best LR4 Brakes for Heavy vehicle + towing.

    I tow 5k+ lbs and have 18s I highly recommend Akebono Euro brake pads Mine are going on 75k miles - absolutely buying again I have not replaced my rotors yet, but have used Zimmerman zinc-coated on previous vehicles If you don't want to spend on OEM, at least buy from a known brand/retailer

    has anyone upgraded to this metal tranny pan?

    I haven't seen metal version or separate pan/filter option for the later 8-speeds But at least the non-integrated pick up tube isn't in the way of removal?

    has anyone upgraded to this metal tranny pan?

    Not exactly apples to apples, but I have 85k+ miles on my LR3 metal pan Zero leaks or issues - great decision if you DIY service edit: should have mentioned mine is genuine ZF kit, from thectsc . com

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    "I'm finding on the LR4 street tires do so well offroad that I might as well lean towards street when compromising dirt/street" I think you have it wrong. Your Rover is so good, it is doing well off-road despite your street tires - not because of them. No, you don't need LT rating. Just get a...

    Bluetooth music streaming

    I am no electronics expert My guess is that something in the LR AUX board back there messes up the input levels, and plug-in solutions retain that problem. Most of us have that volume issue when we try to use OEM AUX port in the 2nd row - the levels are just bad. When I spliced in my ebay...

    Bluetooth music streaming

    Interesting, I had't seen a plug and play before I did the $7 ebay generic board, hacked into the wiring myself behind cooler box AUX works great, one of the most enjoyable mods I've done - brings the LR3 even more up-to-date

    LR3 Transmission Leak

    Is the puddle off to the driver's side up front? Could be power steering fluid. My trans leak was dead center under middle of vehicle (directly below the trans). I don't see how a leak from trans would follow anything up to front bumper.

    Really good coolant leak under the engine!

    Just making sure you checked the problematic bleeder T valve (under top engine cover)? They break quite often when old. I swapped mine to brass after it broke.

    Help to buy LR3 or RR Sport

    Too bad - they are plentiful in the States. Cheap too. What would the import difficulty/expense like for PR? Not saying its's a great option, but could be if the hurdles are not too high.

    Passenger side air intake and front sunroof drain

    That foam piece was mis-shapen where the elbow is on mine, so I re-formed it to allow drainage. I kept that top foam since it seemed like it would block dripping water from being sucked into the intake. Not just sound deadening - at least in my head - so I kept it. I DID however gladly pull...

    3rd Row Seatback Folding Problem: Seatbelt Latch Doesn't Retract

    Amazing timing! I was just reminded of this issue this morning when putting the seat down. Has been catching for years! Thank you, can't wait to get home and fix this.

    LR3 Hitch

    There is an OEM stubby hitch listed on OfferUp in Diamond Bar, CA

    LR3 Hitch

    Pretty sure it was an accessory/add-on, along with the required wiring (and brake controller) Nothing included by default Used ones pop up every now and then - just make sure to get the latest (stubby version) LR040248 Not the old long one that is prone to cracking

    2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!

    Yes if you don’t add some sort of shield as shown

    2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!

    correct, remove cowl to get access - the problem is underneath it also unfortunately, I think the a-pillars must be removed first in order to then remove the cowl so have new clips on hand

    2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!

    I had my cowl - and both A pillar trims - replaced by Safelite along with my new windshield (insurance covered all) Just took some asking on my part Also, not sure if the LR4 still has the same poor fresh air intake design as the LR3 (underneath the cowl) If so, I also highly recommend that you...

    Mistakes LR3

    Any spills near the shifter/terrain response controls? Is there water along the passenger door sill track (under trim and carpet)? Or, sometimes a new brake light switch is the cure.

    Rear air conditioning lines leaking - quick fix

    And yet, I have been turned away for simple AC recharges, alignments, etc. "Because they don't work on Land Rovers" ¯\(°_o)/¯

    Wheel/Tire combinations

    exactly and if you combine a smaller rim with an oversized sized tire, you benefit even more and don't forget, larger selection can also mean lower price
