I sold my 2006 RRS (I guess I qualify since the original Sport is really just an LR3 in drags) with 210K miles on the odometer last year. My car should now be enjoying its retirement in Costa Rica, as a recreational vehicle of the lucky owner who bought it from me for his vacation home there...

For those with IIDTool BT and Android devices, I tested the IIDControl app with my Moto Droid Maxx (Verizon), which just received the 4.4 KitKat update this morning. App works great. Moto Droid Ultra, Mini and Moto X should be nearly identical to the Maxx in both hardware and software, so they...

Yes, front and rear sensors are different. Fortunately, they are cheap (and can be reused if they haven't been triggered yet): http://www.bputah.com/RR44/rr44_brake_pad_sensor.htm

Yeah, both left front and right rear pads incorporate a wear sensor and no, unfortunately you'll have to figure out which one of the two triggered the warning whenever one of them is tripped, all you'll get is a cryptic "Brake" red icon in the instrument cluster. In theory, this happens when...

Has anyone else successfully tested the IIDControl app for Android yet with their IIDTool BT? I tried it yesterday and it appears very buggy, don't know if it's an issue with my tablet (2013 Nexus 7 with KitKat 4.4.2) or with the app itself. Half the times the app will fail to connect to the...

Thanks Steve, it was my mistake. I was searching for your app on Google Play with the wrong device (my Droid MAXX, which has BLE, but is currently "behind" on Android 4.2.2), so the app couldn't be found. It popped up right away when I looked for it with the Nexus 7, which has Android 4.4.2.

Steve, what's the app name on Google Play? I have a 2013 Nexus 7 with Android 4.4.2 and cannot find it, perhaps I am searching for the wrong app name. Also have a Droid MAXX, which has BLE, but Android 4.2.2. I assume that won't work?

I also look forward to an Android version of the app, as I am tired of stealing my wife's iPad... However, at present - and at least until the latest enhancements detailed earlier in this thread are introduced to the public in March - you don't really need an iPhone to operate the unit, since...

Thanks for the clarification on RS. Too bad though, I had their rock sliders on my 2006 Sport, and they were a work of art, following the contour of the funky plastic moldings of the RRS to perfection. They were strong AND attractive. Tactical picked up some of the slack for LR3/4 with their...

I thought Rover Specialties went belly up last year?

Keep a brake switch and a cooling system bleed valve handy, they are stupid little parts that have a nasty habit of failing / breaking in the boonies. The first one, located above the brake pedal, will cause all kinds of doomsday messages to pop up when it fails, likely incapacitating your air...

The Compos' offset is 44mm, the OEM 18s s/b 53.

Perhaps the spacers on ExPo's project LR4 are really 1.25", which translates to 31.75 mm, instead of 30 mm as discussed on later posts. A difference of 1.75 mm doesn't sound like much, but it's not negligible either on such an "exacting" application.

He is probably inquiring about the "old" 4-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine used on early model years of base LR3s, not the brand new S/C V6 used on the 2014 LR4. I haven't heard too many good things about that older Ford engine (although I have no direct experience with it), it got the job...

What style of 18" rims did you buy Axel? The 10-spokers or a different design? Perhaps that's the difference between your experience vs. other owners.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Rastas strictly protect the doors / door sills and do not extend under the chassis to cover stuff such as pump, tank, etc.

On my 2013, I see about 300-330 miles per tankful in mixed city/highway driving, which is about 15-16 mpg give or take. On long highway only trips I am pushing 19-20. Off road, with low range engaged... Who knows. 7-10 mpg maybe, depending on terrain? I don't tow anything. The 5-liter V8...

Don't know if it helps, but here is description and operation of the camera system (warning, it's a 23-page PDF...), the section pertinent to the "Hi-Line" 5-camera digital system starts on page 12. You can see how much more complex the system is compared to the analog, "Lo-Line" single reverse...

Heck no. Mine (2013) runs for about 30 seconds to 1 minute pretty much every morning when I first start the car in the garage, and for several seconds here and there throughout the day, especially after the engine starts.

axels, actually the load rating for the Compos is 950 kilos (2100 lbs), the OEM rims are TUV rated at 940 kilos (+/- 2070 lbs), so about the same. Don't know about the XDs, but nobody has confirmed whether they even fit without spacers or mods up to now, so...
