Hi, i am new to the forum and new to Land Rover.
i just got a 2013 LR4,
i drove it for a day and i loved it.
it has been in the shop ever since i got it 2 weeks ago.
i’m hopping to take it to many road trips, on and off road.
car needed some repair, sadly, the previous owner was not very honest about the condition of the truck, and even though it looks like new, under the hood was another story, need, valve cover gaskets, intake manifold, lower control arms, outer tie rods, air filters and it looks like break fluid never been done, it looked like black sludge, i’m surprise it brakes at all.
it has many deferred maintenance that i’m now picking up the tab for, i’m hopping to get the car soon to start the new hear riding on my new car.

thinking of doing some mild off-road to test it as soon as i get it back. Fingers crossed!

Only family road-trips on the D5 so far.
I've done some minor off-roading with a 4runner though.

D5 came with 21" wheels , I plan to get 19" so I can go offroad with it.
