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!

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?

What's you favourite landys

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?

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.

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.

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!
