Not cheap- but you can retro fit them - Mine was installed when I did the video... www.ebay.com/itm/116222949280

I have to say - the old ones held a drink more securely - the new ones are a bit shallow - WDE

Careful... it can be a gateway drug...

Enjoy! But be careful, it can lead to a lifetime of psycophancy

Rodney - thanks for the comment! I have little or no experience with the LR3/LR4s - Do you subscribe to LRTime on here(www.youtube.com/@Vera_and_Christian)? They are "Disco 3 and 4" aficionados. In Europe, I believe our LR3/4 is their Disco 3/4. I have a buddy up the hill who bought an LR4 for his daughter. I can see if I can get it and take it on a drive. Less luxurious, but many of the same engines and components.

Texted my buddy. Happy to let me do a review, but his daughter is a camp counselor and won't be home until mid-July. But keep an eye out for the video by the end of July hopefully

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate you watching until the end! Let me know if there is other things you would like to see.

Over the past 11 years really I have spent more on the suspension than the engine. When my daughter was driving it we had to replace some coolant line that looked like an octopus. Of course they bought Range Rover brand. It seems like it was about $900. The biggest expense that I can recall was the air conditioning compressor. I also had to replace a fuel pump and starters and alternators. That was before I figured out the ground (earth) strap was bad.

Thanks for the kind words. I do have the GAP IID (Gen2 I believe - Purchased July 2016) I think they pay for themselves in no time. I did the paddle shifters myself - it is not a hard install. the worst part is getting the airbag off. I think I filmed some of it... just not sure where I saved the footage?!?!? After 11 years of tinkering and swapping this part and that - I really don't have many issues. Back in probably Feb or Mar, i was chasing a vacuum leak. Ended up replacing the intake seals and the rocker cover gaskets - big job, but 'while I was in there' also did spark plugs and injectors. The TPMS is on the fritz - but I used the GAP to disable it. One of these days I will take it by Discount tire, get the sensors refreshed and turn it back on. Glad you liked the video - thanks for watching!

Great truck! They're like meth... Don't try them once unless you want a lifetime habit! 😁

I got a certified letter from my hinges asking me to quit sitting on the tailgate 😞

Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed it! It is up in the description - I have only found it in the UK - Paddle Shift Retro Fit Kit from LR Parts www.lrparts.net/lrc9100-retro-fit-paddle-shift-gear-selector-for-range-rover-l322-fits-2002-2010-doesn-t-fit-with-dial-style-selector-plug-and-play-kit.html

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! i am glad you enjoyed the video! - JDW

Good to know! Was it all models, or just the higher spec? I thought I had seen some 2007s without it.

THANKS FOR WATCHING! Did you make it all the way through?

​@JDWFolkart yup, watched the whole thing! Good information

It is not an all ya gotta do - but the full thread is found here: www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic65388.html You have to find an old spinny knob to scavenge the male connector off the bottom - build a pigtail tp the flat 10 pin female connector for the L494. Towards the end of the thread are dimensions for the subframe and the filler piece. If you are serious about it - I am happy to help. Especially with the filler and sub-frame.

Also can you share the link to the android radio that is installed in your L405! I love the interface! TY

@@JDWFolkartI will visit a few salvage yards and locate the hardware and circle back ! TY

@@ajnath4 Here is where I got it off eBay - I have seen it cheaper elsewhere - but there is my unit. www.ebay.com/itm/255809786774

Fair 'nuff

Which error did you get? If you have a GAP IID you can remove the faults. Without a GAP it *should* reset itself after about 30 miles and a couple of key cycles. Note that this is based on my experience. I don't want you to get stranded. Can you drive it around the house some before the big trip?

I don't have a great answer on that. I will see what I can find. I'm not saying that the sensors are completely wrong, I just think they throw red herring errors. Rather than saying DEF low... It says Quality error. If you look in the service menu and it has 7500 miles on DEF, I think you are fine. I will fill mine when I get home and report the mileage back. 'They' say to not overfill the DEF, but I have not had a problem with it overfilled. I say fill it to the brim!

Re-read that on the laptop (I don't do well on the phone). That is quite a discrepancy - you may have a different issue. I think that my service menu saying (right now) 6997 miles to Empty DEF is correct - or close to it. GAP IID says Overfilled - remove 3L and test again. When I was getting the DEF Quality issue the Service menu and the warning miles were counting down together. I just think that the DEF Quality Issue 250miles is the incorrect message. It could possibly be a message to scare you into taking it to the dealer... Friend of mine, his 2016 makes a bong he doesn't recognize and it is booked to the Indy - it's nice to have rich friends... I would recommend filling it until it bubbles out the top of the fill neck. That may take some doing - they appear to get airlocked quite a bit. I don't know if the fill level is detected ultrasonically or if it is a physical float sensor. If it is ultrasonic and you had an air bubble - it could have been reading the liquid level on top of the air bubble, whereas the nozzle wasn't getting head pressure... complete guess. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

@@JDWFolkart yes thanks for your reply. i have been to dealer and shops lots of times the past 2 years due to the quality countdown. the dealer said it was not really a 'quality' thing, which we all know. dealer said it is either too low or the computer sending the def is wrong (too fast or too slow, while too fast can create problems more). later last year, i stopped going to dealer (they told me their diesel mechanic left or maybe they dont want to deal with this anymore, IN forwayne) and i started to go to a shop much closer to me. eg, last week shop said the countdown last time was due to 'completely empty def tank'. it was a easy and relatively cheap fix. so i wonder how i can measure it using my hand as i dont trust service menu 100% now lol .. i read from forum before, like you said, the sensor is ultrasonic can measure bubbles, so now i will keep adding 0.5gal every 2 weeks.. also the engine light keeps popping on, i need to check it and i think its the stupid EGR flow low again.... i will try to reset it but if not working, i dont care as long as theres no countdown....are you in IN too?

Atlanta GA. My advice would be to get a couple of the screw on bottles and take your time. On the second bottle I removed it about 2 or 3 times, let it settle and then it took more. From what you spent at the dealer, I think a GAP IID would be a good investment. I want to say $575 for 1VIN. In theory you should get 500 miles per liter. If you're going through double that, you may have a bad nozzle. Have you tried cleaning it? 30 min job on Ramps. Also a lot of great info on fullfatrr.com and Facebook groups.

@@JDWFolkart good advice, last time i cleaned it was in 2022 Oct, i will take a look at nozzle too... that time the dealer replaced the nozzle while i was on a trip in Wisconsin and stranded... ripped off lol

Heeeyyyy!! A comment! I love it - thank you. Have you tried the 2.5 gal jug in a box with a funnel? The even make DEF funnels that are light blue, but you are lifting a 20+ LB thing at an odd angle. On mine it only took a trickle and I ended up spilling that nasty stuff all down the front fender (wing?). of the 2.5Gal, I bet 2ish made it in with the funnel. For me - $15 is well worth the price of the (now reusable) apparatus. Thanks again for weighing in! - JDW

@@JDWFolkart yes. I use a jug and a funnel so i can make sure i don't overfil.

@@gavinvale2865 for me - overfill has worked out much better than letting it run low. I don't think that .38 L is overfilled greatly. Thanks again for watching.

Sensors are all separate. I will try to find a part #.

Here is the link to the Doorman sensor I bought - a.co/d/6TDrDEP

@JDWFolkart awesome, thank you

Thanks for the comment! Year and mileage?
