Installed the LR all weather mats for the front and second row after finding pretty cheap online. The previous owner had the Weather Tech laser fit that are thinner and have high sides. They tend to curl over and I don’t think they fit as well as the LR rubber. I had Weather Tech All Weather...

This is the third vehicle I’ve installed the ProClip mobile phone holder on. my stepson‘s 4Runner, my LX and now the LR. Always a great (a bit pricey) fit and quality product. No disassembly of the console or dash required for this model. Just snaps on and is very solid. I wish they made a...

Always wanted the light guards on my “old” D2 but never got around to it. I realize they probably add negligible protection for the headlamps, but I dig the look and they were easy to do while I wait for other stuff to come in. Also recently started on my DIY drawers. Before the light guards...

What’s a “Metropolis”?

Diff and transfer fluids. Not a hard job really, just a bit messy. I tried something different by pumping the fluid in with a 60ml syringe. It worked fairly well but not perfect. Used factory spec fluid (as I do for most everything unless there is a clearly better option). The fluid that...

Rear heater tube replacement performed by a shop just a few blocks away along with the brake line service and flush. Both ends of the heater tube (rear) looked like this at 96k which tells me it’s seen very little heat. I will put the front crossover tube on a 50k preventative service, but...

Ok. I got some things on the way. I had better make sure the maintenance is caught up. As I mentioned the previous owner was all over the oil changes which was great. Time to match up all the other maintenance and repairs to the service schedule (I use the “arduous” schedule from LR). I...

Next I had to do something about the wheels and tires! It’s a good looking car as it sits, but I really want a bit more sidewall and more aggressive tread. I considered the Terrafirma wheels (which were seemingly available right away), but I prefer the look of the TuffAnts (slightly lower price...

My car just prior to this was a 2004 LX 470. Great car. Durable. Reliable. Drove like a bank vault on the interstate. BORING. Not a Rover. I had a D2 a few years back, and even though the engine overheated and I didn’t trust it anymore, I always liked rovers. I do get them off road for...

Maybe mostly service hehe. I recently picked up a well maintained (oil changed every 5k), garaged LR4 in Ipanema Sand for an “I can’t pass this up” price. I had been looking for a 2013 Lux almost exclusively (mainly due to timing chain issues) for a few months. So many had serious holes in...

It stopped working for me right when I bought an LR4 a few months ago. I had looked up a bunch prior without issue, then it would never give me the build on mine (although mine is an oddball HSE with the Windsor “Lux” leather).

I’ve been just digging into the use of the GAP tool and was excited as only a Rover geek can be that I now have programmed the fog lights to stay on with high beams. Simple thing I used to have to modify wiring to do on previous vehicles. I am having issues getting my HD Radio to work, which...

Welcome! Great looking RRS! I had seriously considered one of those as well before my LR4.

Just back into an LR4 from an LX and a D2 in years past and definitely watching this for some good ideas. I did carry a tensioner, belts, a few hoses and coil on my “indestructible” LX. My immediate plan is some heavy prevention for the LR4 like new front hubs, rear crossover coolant manifold...

Picked up a 2011 HSE Ipanema Sand LR4 a few weeks ago. Well cared for with regular 5k oil changes at 95k (I had been looking for a while and so many had 20k plus holes in their service histories). So when I found this one I jumped! It’s in great shape, happy to be back in a Rover (had a 2004...

Love to hear about high mileage LR3’s & LR4’s!

Funny. The same debate occurs over the AHC system on LC / LX forums. Love the AHC on my LX. Currently in the market for a LR4. I would take the same approach with either- maintain as long as it makes financial sense. Change to coils if that maintenance is no longer financially acceptable. It...

this looks decent. And if it’s price doesn’t go up much, could be a good deal. Triple Locked. Winch. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-toyota-land-cruiser-fj80-11/

Is it an HD?

As it turned out, I had the cover oriented incorrectly. While not in the instructions, the aluminum support has a channel where one edge of the cover slides into semi-permanently and the other sides Velcro. I kinda missed that initially. This Velcro is on two sides. It would seal better...
