    Let's remember that when you look at it globally, this is what a "Rest of World" dealership looks like...and they get it.

    Bull bar data

    Alot of people don't like the ARB's, particularly rock crawlers, because it hurts the approach angle because they stick out. It's a tradeoff. I'll give up approach angle for remote travel security anyday.

    Bull bar data

    I was on a driving tip up the coast of Oz from Sydney to Brisbane. About half way up, roo's popped up everywhere along the highway. We were in a rental Ford something or other sedan. On some gravel backroad they call a highway, one jumped out in front of us, and skidding to a stop we hit it...

    The LR4 — Crossing America Offroad with Tom Collins at the helm!

    I would not add the Jeep JK or the G wagen in this hypothetical comparison. The LR model for comparison to those two is the Defender, which obviously is not sold in the US market.

    300Tdi question

    Also check the wastegate line than runs from wastegate around the front to you injection pump boost diaphragm. I've had that slip off before, and you still get normal boost, but your injection pump doesn't get a boost signal, and the result is a sound like you've described.

    300Tdi question

    Sure sounds like boost pressure leaking out of one of the turbo hoses to me. Examine your entire pressure line. the hoses on the intercooler in particular need to be really tight. also make sure that there are no bungs or taps on the intake manifold missing their plugs or hoses (eg line to...

    Getting ready for a trip to Mexico

    Nope, missed that. Saw your reference to postponing due to the risk being to high, but didn't see a specific reference to travel ban for the military. Must be active duty. I'm in the Guard and haven't heard anything on it. Wouldn't stop me from going. I've never heard of a ban that applies to...

    LR4 Reliability

    The LR4 with a 3.0 ltr SDV6 gets over 30 mpg. that's why I would wait. European and US diesel regs finally converge after a long wait for diesel advocates in the US...

    The LR4 — Crossing America Offroad with Tom Collins at the helm!

    CV's breaking due to lock loading from pouring on the power to get over an obstacle is turning this into a diesel vs petrol argument. Low RPM torque curve of diesels mean you don't have to "gun it" to get over.
