Thread: My 2015 D4 is coming up to 160,000 km in 4.5 yrs. What should I have done?

The UHF has a remote head so the box is under the seat and the mic is fixed using HD velcro just under the stop start button

The tray I designed and it was manufactured by a bloke here in Adelaide. Photos attached

Rob, if/when you upgrade - let’s talk about me buying your roll out tray

Tombie no sweat it's a brilliant bit if design and manufacturer if I say so myself. Still going strong as we built for quality. It's a simple removal as the brackets use the tie-down bolts, we put in longer HT ones of course, as the location and fixing points in the back of the car. With the third row seats out most of my tools and all of my recover gear lives there

Will keep you posted. This week is I feel going to offer me a few things to chew over with this change

its been a fantastic vehicle. Just completing a 10,000 km trip around eastern Australia - never missed a beat.

I had the gear box serviced at 80,000 km and the cam shaft belts will be done at the 160k service.

Is there anything else I should have done?

How did your service go?

I just got the same one done on my 2012 SE and I now have an oil leak for the first time. My local bloke wouldn’t do it so I took it to a LR Dealer. About to take it back.

Booked in the last week of November with the local LR dealer.

My 2011 D4 is in at the moment at the local ARB / Repco / 4WD Centre for timing belts, water pump replacement, transmission service including replacement sump and a routine book service. They are not LR dealers or agents, but the owners of the business are LR owners themselves and have good knowledge and resources. Their main mechanic who is working on the car is pretty switched on - they also did the last routine service with no issues. I can't be bothered driving down to Perth for servicing etc any more unless I have other reasons to go there.
