I'm slowly building my '17 L494 for exploring/camping/mild "Overlanding". Part of my needs are a second battery. This platform. along with the L405 (I assume), present some interesting problems and advantages. First being that the main battery is already in the back of the vehicle so cable runs...

From the reading I've been doing, the L405, L462 and L494 are all basically the same platform. The L405 Range Rover is obviously a tad bigger. Other than the mix of different mixes of trim packages, option packages, features, engine options, and interior volumes is it safe to assume both the...

Over the past year I have been experimenting with replacing the Gen2 auxiliary gauge pack and factory stereo with an Android head unit. One of my goals was to no lose the voltage and oil pressure meters. There is an android app (Torque Pro) the replicates gauges on the screen using OBDII data...

Recently the thermostat housing on my '06 V8 LR3 decided to crack and leak at the large o-ring that seals the front and rear pieces. I replaced the complete housing with one from Atlantic British along with the water pump and both drive belts. After a slight derailment from a damaged o-ring...

Hopefully this mini-report helps somebody down the line when a "Is an LR3/4 good for me" question pops up. Over the last week we took 21 scouts and 4 leaders to Camp Whitsett for summer camp. My 2006 LR3 HSE was the main workhorse. It carried 7 passengers at all times, and towed the gear...

So, my 'new to me' LR3 had an encounter with a deer. Considering what I've seen from deer hits on normal cars, I'm amazed at how good the Rover still looks. Other than the obvious from the pics below, the cowl molding was shook loose, the airbag light is on (none actually deployed), and the A/C...

Hello all. I've been reading this forum for a while, but rarely post. I just messed up the front of my Montero and am looking for a replacement. My uses are mostly taking my kids and scouts camping, exploring, off roading, and daily driving when the other car is down. I'm not into rock crawling...
