Just to say THANK YOU for sharing your experiences, especially about your juddering brakes and resulting suspension knocking; I have had exactly the same with my Westminster 2012. That you had the same problem, sharing how you sorted it, is genuinely helpful. Much apprciated! George, Kent, UK
Another fantastic video. Just to add my experience, I have never had any success with drilled/grooved discs on off road vehicles, every set I've tried has ended with issues. I don't think you'll beat decent quality "standard" discs/pads.
Hi Mark! Yes i know of that knocking! My lower balljoints was shot, pain too change, but still have a small shimmer. Going to put a dailgauge on the disks asap. I live in the Algarve, so if you need any help or what ever, give me a call!
Hi Mark. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I’m about to start a complete front end rebuild of my D4. That’s upper & lower arms, steering track rods & joints, drop links, anti roll bar bushes, drive shafts, air struts. Bearings, Brakes. The lot. So top tip to avoid Mintex. They were one of the cheapest options but not coated, which means they won’t age that well. Hope the Portugal trip goes well. Cheers. Ty
Thanks for the update Mark. Glad its all sorted. Just got mine back from having rear subframe bushes, rear stabiliser arms, drop links, upper and lower rear knuckle bushes, rear brake lines and ABS sensors and rear suspension air bags replaced all part of preventative maintenance, and wheel alignment. Did front upper and lower control arms a year or so ago. Also running Brembo diacs and pads with no issues. Drives really well. Service now due, doing oil change every 5k as well. Off to Snowdonia in couple of weeks. Have you done any trails up there? Good to hear you have a cable route to charge 👍 enjoy the next road trip! Will be another good Im sure. Cheers
I had same issue with vibration between 50-70mph. I had already rebuilt the front suspension Upper/lower control arms ball joints and wheel bearings. It turned out to be calliper piston sticking front drivers side especially after it had been sitting for a while.
I could have been a sticking piston, but they were rebuilt 6 months before, maybe sitting for so long, maybe they did stick for a while, and maybe that did cause the warping, who knows. 👍🏻
My leisure battery is plumbed straight into the big red battery cable in the right rear. simply plug and play using a kit from simply split charge uk. Works perfectly to run my fridge. Mine is a 2011 so it has BMS also. Don't know why it doesn't work on yours. simple volt sensing relay for charging it.
@scmtbcoach2477 probably the quality of the dc/dc charger, most need to see 13v+ to effectively charge, I never, ever saw 13v on that back fuse box feed to indicate that the system was charging the second battery. A quality BMS can pump 30a continuously into a second battery.
I see over 13 volts at the back and charges the second battery fine. Ran my fridge for 2-3 days with only a very short drive in between. as i say i just have a very simple split charge system so maybe that is the difference who knows! @@Overlanding4WD
Nope, as I think you must stay ahead of maintenance, same with the Defender. No harm in changing fluids more of term as the vehicle ages. YES to another RR, NO, to another brand. 👍🏻
agree can't beat a RR but they are hard work to keep going at this age!@@Overlanding4WDwhats your thoughts on the new 2024 Landcruiser? Does look nice and reliability/ less hassle would be nice!

Great to see like minded rr owners. Once of prevention goes a long way with these. I ordered full rebuild kits for both mine for next weekend fun!
Agreed 👍🏻
Excellent to hear that Ross and the gang at Glenrands looked after you 👌😎
Went above and beyond 👍🏻 which is why I gave them a shout out.
@@Overlanding4WDTotally agree. Customer service is at top of his list. It’s why I recommend him 👍👍
Glenrands are great. Bought my 4.4 tdv8 Westminster from Ross and have been using them for 2 years now
I second that! On my recommendation too 😅

Heading your way towards the end of Sept, running the trails north of Albufeira to Sagres 👍🏻

Thanks, go with factory / original, best advice 👍🏻

@@Overlanding4WD I agree. Sounds like a more likely candidate to warp a disk.

Doesn’t work on mine. Tired everything, advise is do what I said and several of my subs have had the same issue.
weird that it works on some but not others! @@Overlanding4WD

Mark you certainly dont skimp on maintenance 1 Question would you buy another RR or wojld you try another brand of 4x4??
Nope, as I think you must stay ahead of maintenance, same with the Defender. No harm in changing fluids more of term as the vehicle ages.
YES to another RR, NO, to another brand. 👍🏻

Quick question guys what other engine will go into the sport with out to many problems any1 know
“Don’t give up the day job”
Hello! I'm from Russia. Please tell me, is it possible to buy a Range Rover l322 4.4 diesel with a mileage of more than 250,000 kilometers?
Yes, but I don’t sell them! Good luck
@@Overlanding4WD Thanks for the answer. I that you do not sell) I'm just looking for an acceptable copy in Russia.
I guess this would be a really dull video if you had just bought a Landcruiser.
Being that Land Cruisers are really dull, yes!
