2016 Kaikoura LR4 HSE LUX- Will I ever find one?
Instead of spending on getting an engine swap, wouldn't it be more economical to buy an LR4, with a beige interior, in great condition and get it painted or wrapped? Getting an engine or transmission swapped would require you to source a donor unit and pay someone to do the labor of swapping... -

How important is this foam? (LR4 spark plug change woes)
Thanks for the insight everyone. I wasn't sure if it was vital to insulate the ECU box or something. I ended up trimming down some of the stiff triangular portions to get it to fit in there. Figured kind of in there was better than not at all. -

How important is this foam? (LR4 spark plug change woes)
How important is it that the insulating (or vibrational?) foam on the drivers side of the spark plugs be absolutely seated in it's place? I battled that thing trying to get it back to where it started for at least an hour. It's down further than pictured (forgot to take a photo before I left it... -

Transmission Flush opinions
Sorry for the delay. Yeah that's the one I used. Shifts have been nice and smooth ever since I did it last year. -

Transmission Flush opinions
You could have an independent LR shop do the pan replacement? For most of the people who DIY their transmission change, myself included, the pan and filter (OEM is one piece) is replaced with a separate pan and filter to make subsequent changes easier for either you or the indy shop. -

Tech requirements, driving a Euro LR4 in US/CA
Pretty sure CA refers to Canada in this context, not California. No need for it to pass CA smog if it's here temporarily. -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Got under there a few weeks ago to take care of this 9 year, 80k mile old fluid. Thanks to all the great tips in this thread for guiding me through the process. While it took quite a bit longer than expected, a good chunk of it was just figuring out how to take off some of those damn pan screws... -

Leather Cleaner ?
I too use Leatherique, but only once or twice a year when it gets nice and warm out. I've also only been using it for about two years. When I do use it, I do both parts, the rejuvinator and cleaner. The rejuvinator is kind of a hassle and takes a while (I try to let it sit for at least 24 hours... -

Cargo area mat recommendation ?
I've thought about this as well, but I came to the conclusion that I can usually just ditch the mat wherever I picked up the extra passengers (since I'd likely have to take them back as well). -

Leather Dash Peeling/Pulling Up
The tumbled leather stuff is vinyl. The smooth stuff, like the steering wheel is leather. Unless you have the extended leather package, which puts leather on the dash and top of the doors -

Cooper Zeon LTZ
Wow I was going to move over to the TerrainContacts after my current Zeons were up, but I might have to just get a fresh set now -

Review of Continental TerrainContact A/T
Thanks for the write up. I'm on the Cooper Zeons atm (came with them when I bought my LR4) but I'm trying to decide if it's worth that pretty substantial premium to keep them on my next change or go to the TerrainContacts or possibly the Yokohama Geolandar G015. 99% of my driving is on road... -

Another roof rack question
I didn't put anything in the track, nor did the instructions tell me to, when I installed my front runner rack, so I think you're fine. -

Phone Mount For LR4?
I just have one of these guys placed in, the right hand side of the vent https://amzn.to/2H46wmH and this cheap chinese case on my phone https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Metal-Plate-Car-Holder-Magnetic-Phone-Case-for-iPhone-Xs-Max-Xr-X-6-6S-7/32905159044.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.22ec4c4dsiMovO... -

Point me to some Black 18” or 20” rims for LR4
Not sure who imports them, but have you looked at Mudtechs? https://www.mudtech4x4.com/en/18-wheels-discovery-4/ -

Roof Box Question - LR4
You're welcome! In case anyone is trying to ship the extended rails, be aware you're going to need a 96" long box and it's going to be a hefty price tag to ship due to it's length. -

Roof Box Question - LR4
I have a set of OEM roof rails (extended) and cross bars that I just removed from my LR4 that I'm going to be selling if you're interested! -

the true costs of running lift rods
Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I don't run rods), but isnt the main purpose of rods to increase off-roading ability by improving your stock ground clearance, further increasing your off-road height, and allowing you to use larger diameter tires (in addition to looking a bit cooler). -

Easy way to spot HD package on '14 - '16 LR4, but how about other years/models
The only visual way I know of is the full size spare underneath. You can see it from some rear photos, as it drops quite a bit further than a donut. A better method is to look up the vin on https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Land%20Rover and search the page for "spare" or "diff". The spare will... -

Folding mirrors while locking
It should be in your dash menu. Just press ok or a direction on the right steering wheel pad and you should be able to find it in there. The menu isn't very exhaustive, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it. Edit: Nvm, it's not in that menu. I apologize for the bad info. -

Broken part while trying to replace water pump and I don't know what it is called?
I think the part in question is LR045238. http://miamibritish.com/shop/land-rover-thermostat-hose-kit-range-lr4-rr-sport-5-0l-lr012636-oem/ The bottom part in the diagram. Is the part definitely broken or did you undo it and just broke the hose? -

Showoff Your LR4
1 Month old 2011 LR4, 72k miles. Took it on it's maiden voyage from San Francisco to Banff, AB via Jackson, WY. Water pump failed part way there, but after a three day detour/vacation in Idaho Falls, it made it! -

Coolant leak on 2011 LR4... Water pump failure?
Don't worry, I didn't. That last drive to Oreilly was it. No way I was driving a car that couldn't hold coolant. Got it towed 50 miles to the nearest city and the verdict was indeed a broken water pump.
