    Brake Controllers & LR4

    So I bought a travel trailer for the family and I. As I told the wife, it’s nothing but an expense but we’re buying memories while the kids are still small and we only get 18 summers. I wished to share my experience buying a brake controller. I tried a Bluetooth/wireless brake controller...

    Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?

    https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ineos-grenadier-2021 Ladies & Gents, I offer for your consideration the Ineos Grenadier. While still in the development stage the developers are pretty bold about claiming it will be on the market in 2021, COVID complications not withstanding...

    2020 Defender Drive Impressions.

    So, I had a really cool opportunity to drive the new 2020 Defender at a Land Rover sponsored event in Coachella (CA). It had a fleet of brand new, just shipped in, Defenders for us to drive. I’ll be honest enough to tell you I didn’t particularly like the press images of the Defender I had...

    Towing Questions.

    So I’ve finally decided to buy a camping trailer for family trips and will be towing with my LR4. I’m not sure if the towing assist software includes a braking control system, or I’ll need to buy a separate one. Any recommendations for one particular brand if that’s necessary? (Perhaps that’s...

    Snow Chains

    I live in Southern California which means most of you will probably laugh at the idea I even know what inclimate weather looks like, but I swear I saw it once. In any event the kids like trips to the snow and the local mountains get their share. California has chain laws so depending where I’m...

    The Stupidity Story

    So, ill just share this story of stupidity because one day somebody may find value in my error. I rented a tear-drop trailer and took my son to Zion National Park for some camping. When we arrived the beauty of the place, as well as our eagerness to set up camp, distracted me and I left the...

    Second Row Sun-shade.

    My LR4 has developed a weird quirk. The second row, and ONLY the second row, sunshade likes to randomly retract. Since it's under tension it snaps open quite forcefully when it goes. It is loud and startles the kids if they are in back and the wife should she be driving. I took it in, they...

    What the heck is this thing?

    So, I have about 6000mi on the 2016.5 LR4 HSE. I was crawling around and exploring this beautiful piece of British steel and came across something I've never quite seen before. I've spent only a moderate amount of time under cars but all of them have, to date anyhow, been American. Near...

    DivX Video

    Trying to figure out where I can download DivX videos. It seems that I need to save them on a USB flash drive / memory stick then plug them in the glove compartment USB port. Anybody with experience doing so have advice? The DivX website brags about their product pretty well but doesn't really...

    Emergency Braking System

    So I recently purchased my LR4 as the "2016.5" model, selecting the HSE Silver Edition. This of course offered some technology which, as an end of production model, was included as a standard item rather than as an additional cost option as would have previously been the case. I have located...

    Tears rolled down my cheeks.

    Crash Test Info

    Hello LR4 Crowd, I recently ordered my 2016 LR4 HSE Silver and expect to take delivery in May. Naturally I'm quite excited. In my efforts to explain to my wonderful wife WHY I'm so excited I've shown her countless videos and articles. One thing I wanted to show her, anecdotally, was the...

    Cool 360 "virtual" tour of a Disco 4.

    Thought this was a pretty cool 360 "virtual" (man, I'm so over the use of that word) tour of the interior of a Land Rover Discovery 4. Enjoy. http://www.eyerevolution.co.uk/tours/land-rover/

    Trying to Find a DIY Manual for an LR4.

    Ok, so I'm pretty new at this Land Rover thing but I'm simply unable to locate a DIY mechanics manual for a LR4. Something similar to a Chiltons or Haynes service manual for the vehicle. In addition to self service I'm interested in simply having a better understanding of the mechanics of my...

    New to Land Rover & the Forum.

    Greetings, My name is Chris and I'm new to the thread. In fact I'm new to the whole forum concept joining only one other one (about 1911's, not Rovers). I've been fascinated by Land Rovers ever since I saw my first Defender 110 NAS as a kid. I eyeballed them for years and occasionally...
