    LLAMS goes full Viagra

    A bit late to the party, but when I moved the LLAMS module from my old Sport to the LR4, I recalibrated it and everything was OK for several weeks. I then started getting random EAS faults (although my height never arbitrarily changed like yours.) Eventually, I traced the problem to one of the...

    LR3 owners sound off, which tires?

    I believe Goodyear's limited treadwear warranty is prorated like most other manufacturers, isn't it?

    LR4 tires for 19"

    There is an Italian company (or are they German? Can't figure it out) selling an 8.5 x 18" wheel that - they claim - is fully compatible with the Disco/LR4 brakes, without mods: http://www.mudtech4x4.com/cerchi-raid/?lang=en Kinda-sorta looks like the 10-spoke design of the 18" LR3 OEM wheels...

    LR4/Discovery 4: School me?

    To be fair, up to MY2013 the HD pack of the LR4 was pretty much the same price as the LR3, about $700 or so because, just like on the LR3, it only included the active rear diff and a full size spare wheel. It became more expensive on MY2014-16s, when in its infinite wisdom Land Rover decided to...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Use the sunroof to get in and out? You may want to get your battery checked if it dies that easily, but turning off the automatic dome/door lamps that fire up every time you open or unlock a door would be a good start. Press and hold the center button on the front overhead console for about 5...

    WNLRR - Sedoana?

    I uploaded a few shots here: https://umbertob.smugmug.com/WNLRR-2015/ And for my accounting dept., like I said many times this was a fully deductible business trip, not a vacation.

    WNLRR - Sedoana?

    I think it was an extremely well organized rally, and look forward to the next one in a couple of years (Northern California is rumored to host it next?) 140 Land Rovers of all ages and sizes from 12+ states, owners - many with families and friends - in a festive mood, a stunningly beautiful...

    WNLRR - Sedoana?

    I'll be there, arriving to the staging area tomorrow afternoon-ish from Pasadena. I think there will be about 10-15 SCLR members total joining in. Should be fun. I have heard 140 vehicles total, so our AZ friends must be showing up in droves.

    Lucky 8 Deal of the Day - 8/31/15

    Is this the "old" design with the hex head (that you can turn with the lug nut brace tool) or the new one requiring the "hooked" extension of the factory jack to winch up/down?

    Rotor/ Hub Wobble

    The front wheel hubs / bearings of my 2006 RRS went out at 100K (driver) and 150K (passenger side), respectively. I don't recall them being so expensive to replace honestly, my recollection is they were about $350-400 or so per side (OEM, including labor) from my indy shop, but that was quite a...

    Trouble starting, HDC and Transmission codes

    I think it comes from the factory with an H7 (my 2013 LR4 and 2006 Sport definitely did) but an H8 can be fitted as a more suitable alternative - it is only a bit longer and still fits without modifications on the battery tray.

    For LR4, thinking of switching to LR3 18"s and have a TPMS question

    The manufacturer (Compomotive in the UK.) But they resurrected and are manufacturing again - under a different ownership - and have even acquired a US distributor now, Lucky8. Edit: Oops, just noticed you are in Australia, sorry about the useless US distributor info. But the wheels are...

    LR3 key issue

    Just to make sure the IIDTool's capability to program a fob for the LR3 is understood... It can successfully reprogram an original fob for that vehicle if its immobilizer chip has somehow been disabled (which may be the case here), or a new, never before programmed fob. It cannot reprogram a...

    LR 4 / Disco 4 Auxiliary Battery

    I also have two AGMs, coincidentally and not because I knew any better... The OEM Varta flooded crapola started giving me grief less than a year after I purchased my car, so instead of taking the warranty freebie from the dealer I decided to splurge for a better AGM battery. I run the Optima as...

    LR 4 / Disco 4 Auxiliary Battery

    It depends on what you would like to add. In my case, I just wanted extra 12v socket(s) in the trunk for a fridge and stuff, plus the capacity to feed a couple of low-power dash cams while parked, so I got the "basic" D3-BS kit. If you are powering a winch or other more power hungry stuff, they...

    LR 4 / Disco 4 Auxiliary Battery

    Quite a few threads about it, here is mine: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/111179-Traxide-dual-battery-kit-on-LR4?highlight=traxide If you have a 2014+ you have more crap in there (auxiliary battery and related goodies for Stop/Start system), so that may not be doable. But...

    LR3/4 second battery (deep cycle) option

    Online guides may recommend a L4/94R/H7 replacement for the LR4, which is the matching size of the OEM battery installed at the factory. A size L5/49/H8 is about 1.5" longer and a few pounds heavier, but the same width and height. So, it fits on the battery tray without any issues or...

    Black LR4 in Moab, anyone off here?

    Maybe it's a new one, no standard low range anymore since MY14 (unless you order the optional HD pack.) That would be funny, an LR4 armored to the teeth but without low range... :oops:

    LR3/4 second battery (deep cycle) option

    I have been monitoring both my cranking (no longer the factory, flooded Varta crapola that lasted me barely a year, I have switched to an Exide Edge AGM L5/49/H8) and the Optima Yellow Top auxiliary, and they seem to stay consistently and evenly charged in my experience, both ranging from 12.5...
