Thread: Do I actually own a 4wd tourer?

Hi,

I don’t have a D4 so shouldn’t answer this, but from all that I have read - do your regular maintenance, look at the suspension bushes, top radiator hose, and you should be fine.

The D4 is a great vehicle.

Get a Land Rover Indie to have a good look over your vehicle.

Yeah i use a indie in Brookvale (sydney) who agrees its a good car but the kms are getting high...

272,000km still going. Better get to 500,000km.

That's a big call... You not long ago had a post where you had to remove a crank. There was also a post recently about people at the same age. All of us basically getting to 220,000 then investing. LCA is a given. Every 80k for me.
But I've just done manifolds, coolant junction, AC is on the fritz and needs a valve. Coolant tank been done with alternator and rear latches last quarter of last year.
Up until now yeah I thought my car was a freak of nature. Now. It is what it is. If your outback and the manifolds go. Finding someone to do them won't be easy. I would invest in a decent amount of insurance, warranty and road side assistance. As well as making sure the Indy is available by phone for help when needed.
I have a gap tool and a tablet in my glove box. The tablet has the manuals loaded on it so I have help when I need them. I broke it out into sections so it's not 7500 pages long. Just the chapter I need when I need it

Absolutely. Fresh bearings all in tolerance again. New oil pump, oil cooler, seals. The oil system is as good as new essentially. Wishful thinking maybe, but my fingers are crossed.

Hmmm - my 2015 D4 has 170,000 km on the clock. I wouldn’t hesitate to take it up Cape York !

Yeah I honestly agree that it would and should get there. Mine hasn't had that work.. But I basically need it to reach that aswell.
My point was though. You stated that you were at 270 and still going looking to 500, which can be confusing to the op. Because you didn't mention what you have been through. He's talking about taking a car into the bush as a tourer and at that milage. He's nearly in cheque book territory

Yes true. I’ve never hesitated taking mine anywhere. Admittedly I know my vehicle’s history so I know what’s expected and what’s been done.
