    LUX vs Vision package

    Yep. Granted, my LR4 basis is the 2014-16 'era', but I'm pretty sure one could option-up a special order HSE with just about everything but the Windsor leather (with that it'd be a LUX lol). As I recall, the only options available on my 16 Landmark were- HD Pack (I have), Adaptive Cruise...

    LUX vs Vision package

    The 'Vision Assist Package' was included with 14 and 15 LUX trim and with the 2016 Landmark. It includes: "(Adaptive Headlamps, Auto High beam Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring w/ closing vehicle sensing & Reverse Traffic Detection, Surround Camera System w/Tow Assist, Tow hitch Assist and...

    2016 LR4 Landmark with bi-colored hood

    That one doesn't have HD Pack (low range and active locking rear diff.) There' a lot on this forum about it, but here's what the controls look like on model years 2014-2016 w/ HD. Low range control added to the stack on the right, and the rock-crawl icon light on the top right. A sure way to...

    2016 LR4 Landmark with bi-colored hood

    There's a 24k HSE, red w black pack on Bring A Trailer right now. Bids are up to $15.5K, but it will go for quite a bit more than that...if it at least meets the reserve amount. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2016-land-rover-lr4-91/. Good dealer serviced records, per CarFax, but appears to...

    2016 LR4 Landmark with bi-colored hood

    Not original to the 'Landmark'...or any other trim that I'm aware of.

    PSA - Kings Cross Automotive, SW Washington state

    What happened is clear. And understandably frustrating and disappointing (and costly) to have that happen when just doing service and preventatives on your 60K mile truck. The court process is a pain but you should be good on that. The Manager as much as admitted that there didn't seem to be...

    Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.

    If not already done, definitely have the 'flange' replaced under the recall. I have to say that is the largest leak that I've seen or heard of being relative to the flange. Mine was just the gas odor, no visible leak. They need to drop the tank to do the work, so there is the opportunity to...

    Hello from California!

    Welcome! Appears that you found a very nice one! Looks great! Given the age, and probably the mileage, just make sure that the 'cooling system frailties' have been, or soon will be addressed! It can be sudden and mechanically fatal. Best of luck!

    How-to DIY: Upgrade to new style fuel tank flange & filter

    That's a shock that they might still be selling that old 'recalled' part design. Seems irresponsible and loaded with liability. Thanks for posting. Mine was done by the JLR dealer, and it seems all good. I didn't realize that the flange and filter are now separate parts.

    Disable Eco start/stop action permanently

    Excellent! Just the motivation that I needed to do the Stage 2. Thanks!

    Disable Eco start/stop action permanently

    Same here. Over two years now with a dead stop/start battery. The working stop/start function annoys me way more than the warning light. No strange electrical probs as yet, or corrosion, but I should probably get it out of there. Or give in and replace it and go back to turning it off every time...

    2016 LR4 Original Owner. 75k. Thinking about selling, but not sure of alternative rides that can do everything this does.

    P400 or the 4 banger? If a 400 at 700 lbs lighter, 395 HP and 400+ ft lbs. ; also at 6 secs 0-60...hate to say it but it probably would've been "Hasta La Vista, Baby".

    Best windshield replacement option?

    Going to have to do that soon. The 'sand pitting' from desert driving is becoming 'annoying'. Cost? Ins. claim, or out of pocket?

    Was this color interior ever offered in the US?

    Mine doesn't have that interior color, but it was available on the 2016 LR4 'Landmark' edition.

    Touching Base

    PS- maybe consider just getting a new battery?...if you get so much as a 'low battery' warning or a sluggish start. When they go it can be a slow-rolling cascade of issues until it finally leaves you stranded. I'm a battery hog and mine died at three years from new. Might be best to just ease...

    Count on it! Best to you and your family. Trust that your hunk of 'British Steel' will make your travels safe. And strength to you!

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    "Too oversized" is key. Given what you are doing, you could find yourself in the middle of nowhere and unable to roll. 255-60-19 at 31" overall tire size is about max without 'fixed' suspension mods, for whatever wheel size. 30.5" is safe. Speed vs. off-road is apples and oranges. Suggest maybe...

    So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

    Now there's an idea. That way you can stick around. More Defenders in stock around the country these days. Best of luck with whatever you choose!

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    Doug DeMuro sold controlling interest in Cars and Bids and his YouTube channel to private equity not long ago. New CEO in charge. Not saying that's all bad, but sometimes things suffer for the bottom line. Wouldn't be surprised if those "specialists" are now offshore.

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I really like the R1T, a couple of my neighbors have them and couldn't be happier... (congrats!). As far as an EV being a little more like my LR4, if I had an extra $175K laying around (emphasize extra) I might go for one of these latest Gelandewagens (the EV). I've always liked them, and MBZ's...

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    The dealer closest to me has 6 D5's in stock....and 24 Defenders (90, 110, 130 variants, 1 is v8). It's a 'tell'.

    2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE

    I would want to chase that leak down. Btw, on your original question...My 2016 only 23K on the ODO sounds pretty much like that. Having a repair reserve $'s is a good plan. Even on the SC v6 the cooling system...crossovers, water pump etc. is an achilles heal.

    2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE

    Just saw the CARFAX. Not bad- one owner, ok miles, certainly dealer maintained. Should be able to drill down on all of that if need be.
