    Reverse Camera Retrofit

    I've bought a donor LR4 for my daily LR4 and I'm considering taking the back-up reverse camera from the donor LR4 for my daily which doesn't have any. Is the wiring for the reverse camera already in the harness? How complex would this be? Any considerations I should take?

    18" New Defender Steelies on 2010 LR4

    I just recently acquired my LR4 via BaT and swapped out the original wheel set with new 18" Defender steelies. I'm loving the ride and the look. I ended up going with Nitto Terra Grapplers (265/65/18). If anyone wants to go this route, you will need the Defender lugs in order to hold the black...

    Fluids change after 9 years?

    Hello Everyone, I have a 2015 SCV6 LR4 with 13,400 miles on the ODO. I'm thinking about replacing the ATF, transfer case and brake fluids because they're about to get 10 years old and not because of mileage. Do you guys think this is advisable? And if so, should the ZF transmission adaptation...

    Misfire cylinder 8

    Hi all, I have a 2011 LR4 that has a persistent cylinder 8 misfire. It will pop a code p0316 and p0308, does not give me a P0300. However with live reading I can see that it is constantly misfiring. I've changed the injectors around, put in new spark plugs and swapped around coils. Misfire...

    Increased Performance

    I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experience with doing things that increased or improved performance on their LR4? I'm hoping to do a full overhaul of the vehicle in the near future. Preventative maintenance to avoid catastrophic failure is a necessary evil. It doesn't move the...

    Control arm fail

    Hello. Has anyone seen a control arm fail like this? These were installed at the end of 2019, the heavy duty control arm polybush set from Lucky8. It ripped the CV shaft straight out! Luckily we were pulling out of a parking spot when it happened and not driving along the highway. We do not do...

    2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay

    Good afternoon, I am curious to get some thoughts on how much you would pay for a 2013 LR4 HSE with 80k miles, perfect suspension but the engine was overheated by the previous owner and the heads and head gaskets need to be re-done. I'm not looking for opinions on if you would touch it or if you...

    Smoke on startup after longer trips

    Recently purchased a ‘16 lr4 w 70k miles and have noticed a decent amount of smoke from the exhaust on startup but only after the car was driven a longer distance (like an hour or so) then sits for a while. If I am just taking short trips then there is no smoke. Even longer trips where the car...

    Nickname for LR4?

    Seems like a lot of folks have nicknames for their rides. I'm thinking about "Stomper" because the shape reminds me of a hiking boot which we used to call a "Waffle Stomper". I've also considered "Escape Pod" or simply "The Pod" or "The Ark" (same idea). "My Precious"? (Maybe hitting too...

    Mechatronic Replacement

    Hiya folks, I've got a North American 2013 LR4 5.0l V8 currently located in the UK right now, having been imported to the UK from the US during a relocation a couple of years back. At present, the LR4 is in need of a mechatronic unit replacement. My mechanic is a UK LR specialist but they have...

    Fully Loaded

    The Clover Rover is earning her keep today. Spring cleaning, clearing out the garage and stacking it in storage. Fold flat seats are amazing. Tall cabin too. I can load it completely and the process for doing so never seems tortured or awkward. Everything just slides in. This is the first...

    Customized Decal

    Created this customized decal to personalize my LR4. We got an Irish Setter pup for the girls this Christmas. They named her "Clover" so I thought I would do something fun by playing off the Land Rover name and logo. We take her everywhere with us, so now it is the "Clover Rover". :)

    LR Time YouTube Videos

    These videos are hilarious. Really entertaining. They feature a German couple, Christian and Vera, and their obsession with fixing and maintaining Land Rovers (LR3s and LR4s). Christian has a complete machine shop at home (including a power lift that he built) and an obsession with fixing...

    Is this a bad tie rod?

    I've been getting what feels like a lot of steering shake when driving over bumps or rough road. No shake or wobble or anything when driving at any speed on smooth roads. More like the steering jerks left or right when hitting bumps. I tried swapping front and rear wheels- no difference...

    Freeway Speed Vibration or Rattle on Passenger Side near Windshield

    Recently bought a 2011 LR4 and noticed that when I get to speed on the freeway I start hearing a vibration or rattle near the windshield on the passenger side or maybe the dash near the windshield (it's hard to tell). It only happens when I get to over 55 or 60 mph. It's not all that loud just...

    Can anyone identify this slow ticking noise?

    Cold start on a 2013 LR4. This slow metallic sounding ticking noise only happens sometimes and just for a minute or two on cold start. Can anyone identify it?

    B11DB-87 Battery Monitoring Module Fault

    I'm having a charging issue with my 2011 LR4. I got a battery light and not charging message while driving. I hooked up my Gap tool and found that at idle the alternator load was 100% with minimal accessories on. After checking the basics, I replaced the alternator and battery with an OEM Denso...

    Land Rover LR4 2015 keeps entering valet mode on its own

    Hello all, I purchased a used Land Rover 2015 LR4 early in 2022, and it's been an amazing ride. However, recently, the vehicle enters valet mode on its own, and I can no longer access any of the navigation or audio functionalities as a result. I usually take it to the dealer, and they reset the...

    Cars and Bids LR4 Purchase & More

    A few weeks ago I purchased an LR4 form Cars and Bids with around 88,000 miles. I've gone back and forth on getting into a Land Rover for years and decided now was a good enough time, as prices have withdraw from pandemic highs. Dealers still want 19-25k for a decent LR4 or sport. It's a second...

    LR4 5.0 (2012) engine bay rattle when cold

    I recently purchased a 2012 LR4 with the 5.0L v8 on original timing chains with 88k miles. While the engine is noisy, I don’t believe there is any timing chain slap. However, a distinct rattle can be heard from the engine bay when cold. It’s not the failed fan clutch tick, this is much quicker...

    Yet another potential timing chain issue?

    Im running a 2010 LR4 with 82k miles, purchased 10 months ago. The other day I noticed a sound that made me shiver. After doing plenty of research on timing chain issues, im afraid im the next to fall victim. I'm not currently reading any faults from my IIDTool. I've tried the oil filler cap...
