Car was in a flood. I was away. I have a "friend" looking at it and he sent me the above video. Its a 2015 LR4 with 61k miles. I notice the Air Intake Tubes / Hoses are removed...not sure why. he says it could be timing chain or exhaust manifold from the sound but I'm not sure, especially with those hoses removed. He said he had to remove them to look at the car. Any suggestions from people with experience?

Hello all, so next week im going to see 3 different series santana landrovers. 2x 88s and 1x 109. Guy wants 1k usd each. But they have no chassis and only 1 has a drive train. Were we in central america, parts are hard to come by so was gonna get new galv chassis from the uk amd new firewalls. Before i go down that route. Would the body fit on any other LR chassis? And then engine? I am keen on a resto mod though im sure many of you think that is a crime. Thoughts

Just took my 2010 L320 5.0 SC on a 6 day roadtrip from Seattle to LA on highway 101 and highway 1. 1,400 miles and 35 hours later she did just fine. Here are some of my favorite shots from the trip.

I'm considering a LR as a second car for some hobby usage (ski trips, hauling mountain bikes, camping, possible off-roading) and to drive to work during winter months. I live in Wisconsin. My budget to purchase would be a max of $15,000 with $5000 as an initial maintenance budget. I have a reliable daily driver already so great reliability is not a concern. However, I also am aware of LRs reputation with reliability issues. Is that overblown or is it true? I do not know much about the brand. I am interested in this brand though because of the character of these vehicles. I'm wanting something different other than a wrangler, Cherokee, 4runner, gx, etc. so for my budget what would be the best model I can buy? I am considering the discovery II, LR3, and LR4.

And I literally only had one tire choice. After dropping $800 on the wife’s car’s tires the day before. 😅

Los Angeles. Hey everyone, I’m trying to find out if there are any independent Land Rover mechanics floating around Los Angeles? I know the major shops that will do work, but even they charge a premium markup on parts and mark up on labor. I’m trying to find somebody that can work with me on specific jobs where I buy the parts and they charge me to work on them. Any suggestions?

Just picked up this MINT P38 callaway from basically the original owner. It’s basically flawless outside of needing a new headliner. EVERYTHING works, no rust the engine bay is immaculate the interior is immaculate the paint is original and unfaded, I’ve already put 400 miles on her and outside of her thirsty nature she just purrs along. What a babe. Love the retro 90s feeling and the Harmon Kardon sound system sounds very good especially for the age. I’ll have to get better pics!

I shall be taking delligent care of her. She will be getting a new headliner in oem material/color.

All exterior plastics cleaned and ceramic costed in Cerokote

Clay bar and single stage paint correction

Sealed and waxed in Collinite 845 insulator wax

All rubber seals and gaskets coated in Shin Etsu

All door locks and tail gate locks coated with lithium grease

Engine bay rubbers and plastics coated in Sil Glyd

All electrical connection cleaned with Deoxit!

Frame coated in protective oil bc why not !

Interior condition and coated in leather honey

Unfortunately she may or may not be for sale in 18 months as I travel a lot for work and may have to again but I’m falling in love with her.

I may make some content so people can check up on her.

2016 LR4 HSE Silver Edition. Still got the 2006 LR3 in the driveway too!

Researching for months, been through a lot of forms and I’m starting to see the same things that these LR fours have issues with. Timing chains and the coolant crossover pipes are a lot of the main issues. I see, also the air suspension as well.

With all things considered, I’m still wanting to buy an LR for looking for a black or tan colored one. I found one a couple hours away. It’s a 2011 with about 150,000 miles. It’s priced around 8K and I’m wanting to talk to the guy down to a reasonable price.

I’m going to take a look at it on Sunday and just wanna be sure what to look for while I’m inspecting the vehicle. Any advice would be appreciated!

Carfax looks pretty good, the car was a lease and then owned by someone else who did oil changes about every 3k miles. Also seen the water pump was replace a couple times, is that common?

What's you favourite landys

Seriously considering a Freelander 2 to replace my 2007 Mitsubishi Pajero. Diesel is a fortune with my current 3.2 diesel but I do need to pull a 2ton trailer semi-regularly, and living very rurally on the Atlantic coast of Ireland so often need the 4WD.

I've read that FL2 from 2006 to 2010 came without dpf, as we have no ulez or anything like this is one of these worth waiting to find?

Automatic preferred too, assume the torque converter in these is safe enough for working?

Anything else I should consider?

Thanks a mill folks.

Hi everyone,

I’m considering picking up this 2004 discovery ii and wanted to get everyone’s thoughts if it’s a good idea.

It’s got 125k miles on it and has had its head gaskets, radiator, and alternator all recently replaced with just the ac motor needing some work.

Overall I think it’s a great deal with the price point at $3,800 but I’m having hesitations being totally new to owning any sort of vintage cars. I’ve driven the same Camry my entire life so far issues have never been something I’ve had to deal with.

I’m wanting to use this truck to make a 3.5 hour drive up to the mountains every other weekend or so for the ski season but wanted to see if everyone thinks the disco 2’s are unreliable as the forums would make you believe?

We have a 2011 LR4 with 148k miles and a couple years ago we spilled something on the parking brake switch. It stopped working but we never really used it so I didn’t think much of it. We had it at Land Rover for a recall and they looked at it but said we had to replace the whole module (which I believe is under the car?) and I think they wanted $1,200 to do the job.

So I bought a used parking brake switch off eBay just to test it, took out the cup holder so I could get to the switch, unplugged the old one and plugged in the “new” one and the parking brake works perfectly. Thanks Land Rover.

So now my only problem is how do I get the old one out? I took the two screws out from under the cup holders, I shifted into neutral and popped the shift knob off and I had the whole center console lifted up but from what I can tell, the screw is coming from the top of the switch but there is a plastic piece covering it and I can’t figure it out. I thought for sure there would be a video about it somewhere on the internet but I’m coming up short.
I’m hoping someone has done this and can help me out. Maybe it’s something extremely simple that I completely missed and that’s fine; just want to get it fixed.
Then I can move on to why I’m losing (or burning?) coolant even after I replaced the faulty pump and leaking hoses.

New here!

Never went riding with a group, anyone in California?

I recently bought a 2019 L405 AB P400e and when I last had an L494 3 years ago, I used https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com for this excellent parts catalog.

However, given they removed the part catalogs for both the L494 and L405 somewhat recently, I’m a little stuck as to where to find a comprehensive list of parts for the L405.

What are other people using to find parts for the RRs?

Hi everyone,

I own a 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE Luxury 2.0 diesel, and I need to replace its battery.

My original JLR battery has the following specifications:

• Part number: GX73-10655-AD
• Voltage: 12V
• Capacity: 80Ah
• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 800A
• Technology: AGM / VRLA

The authorised Land Rover dealer has quoted me ₹45,000 (approximately US$472) for the genuine JLR battery alone, excluding installation and labour.

I'm considering replacing it with a Varta Silver Dynamic AGM F21/A6 (580901080), which has these specifications:

• 12V
• 80Ah
• 800A CCA
• AGM technology
• Dimensions: 315 × 175 × 190 mm

The Varta costs approximately ₹27,300 (US$286) based on the price I've found.

Before purchasing it, I'd appreciate advice from owners or technicians familiar with this vehicle.

My questions:

1. Is the Varta F21/A6 a suitable direct replacement for the original JLR battery in the 2019 Discovery Sport 2.0 diesel?
2. Are the dimensions, terminal layout and mounting points identical to the original battery?
3. Does this vehicle require battery registration or a BMS reset after replacement?
4. Can an independent workshop perform the registration using an aftermarket diagnostic scanner, or is JLR-specific software required?
5. Have any owners experienced Start/Stop, charging or electrical issues after installing an aftermarket AGM battery?
6. Would you recommend Varta, Bosch, Exide AGM or the genuine JLR battery?
7. Is the genuine JLR battery worth the additional cost, or is a reputable aftermarket AGM battery equally suitable?

I'm based in India, where the genuine JLR battery is considerably more expensive than the aftermarket alternatives.

I'd particularly appreciate feedback from anyone who has replaced the battery on this exact model or has technical experience with JLR battery management systems.

Thanks in advance!

Took a way too bumpy road and now have this situation. Should I change all the undertray? Is it safe to drive while I don’t change it?

What would you say is a reasonable price for a running rust free SWB IIa with a Safari top, bikini top plus a few extra but needs interior (original seat covers and the like are shot), brake and electrical work in the US?

Maybe considering buying one.

Apropos of nothing at all, I just want to say I have a 2024 Discovery 360P Dynamic SE, and I fucking love it.

I see a lot of shit tipped on Land Rovers, and I get why, but this car is a cracker.

That's it really.

I recently replaced my LR4 with a 2021 L405 Westminster, but I'm struggling to part with the old one! 😫 They both have their charm and I love driving them. Should I sell my LR4 while it still has value, or keep it until it gives up on me? 🤔 Any advice from fellow enthusiasts? #LandRover #L405 #LR4

Myself, my cat and my Rover are preparing to set off on an epic adventure next month. Monte is a 2016 Land Rover LR4 with the 3.0-liter supercharged V6. Never had any trouble with him except the shift modulator going out at like 150k and our third winter (in Texas, not even in our former Colorado) I lost the air ride suspension in the cold one day. Coils now. That's giving me more peace of mind but I still miss the air ride. This morning Monte went into the shop for a good look over and the planning of any necessary changes/maintenance so wish us good luck! After the cautious go ahead from the shop we will get the winter tires on (thinking Bridgestone Blizzak). We will leave on a Monday in November and make a ten day drive through the US, the Yukon and into the interior of Alaska! Once there Monte will be winterized with heating pads, trickle charger, plug etc Anyone done the drive? Part of the drive? Advice? What am I not thinking of?

Hello. I got a 1997 Range Rover 4.6 HSE that is just “rotting away” in my country side home. It is a fully functional car that has the original green color and the light leather seats. It still has the main faults, some coolant problems like leaking a little and starting to boil when working for a little while, the ceiling sagging and it is a little slow to rise up to its offroad height. It has a little body damage also. I would wanna know what it would be worth, because one person who wants to buy it evaluated the price to be around 800, but I believe it is more worth.
