Anyone done their own spark plugs?
I did this when I was replacing the thermostat. So since I had this area torn apart I just took the throttle body off and cleaned the inside. Forget what I used but I think it was carburetor cleaner. Below is a link to thread with a video... -

Clean out the air intake near the throttle body. This should take care of the vibration at idle. -

Vibration from front end
Well I tried turning the steering wheel with the vehicle off last night and did not hear any noises. I notice today, a clunk after I started driving again at a stop sign. It didn't repeat every time I stopped. I went ahead and ordered the tie rod ends since they were showing signs of wear. -

Vibration from front end
I did have the tires rotated and balanced but it didn't help any. I am getting oscillation in the steering wheel. I will try the test you mention tonight and let you guys know what I hear. Thank you both for your help. -

Vibration from front end
They have checked; the only thing they noted were the tie rod ends were showing signs of wear. I've taken the front tires off to take a look and the bearings and bushings appear to be good. I'll try replacing the tie rods to see if that helps first. -

Vibration from front end
Hi all, I've had a vibration from the front end for awhile now. Over the past two months I've had the truck in the shop for a new compressor and 120k service and have asked the shop about the vibration but they keep telling me it's the tires. The tires have been wearing a little uneven on the... -

LR4 largest Tire size with lift on 18" Compomotives
I currently run 265/70r18 on my LR3 using Johnson Rods installed full time. The passanger side front tire rubs when turning. Usually between 3/4 and full lock. This can be annoying while driving on a windy road. It also rubs in the back while in Access Mode. I mention this because I have to... -

LR3 tow wiring harness
It does have a 7-pin connector; however, cmb6s is correct. If a trailer is equipped with brakes than you will need a brake controller to be able to use the trailer brakes. Otherwise, you will be towing the trailer without the trailer brakes. -

Fed Seize Illegally Imported Land Rovers
I'm pretty sure the defender can't be imported due to safety regulations. They are not equipped with air bags and probably a few other things and if they did meet safety regulations then the diesel probably could not be sold here. Similar to the LR4 diesel not being sold here. The engine... -

Skunk in the garage...
Yes the oil buildup is normal. I did the same repair earlier this year. I removed the throttle body and cleaned while everything else was off. Before doing this the LR3 would idle rough...this completely fixed it. I would suggest cleaning while everything is apart. -

Installed ARB Front Bumper (More To Come...)
David, Great writeup. The time frame it took to complete sounds reasonable, since it's not something you do everyday. It really does look good, can't wait to see it in person. Keep me posted when you head down to Hollister next. I have family coming in town in May and June so July... -

LR4-sized Cargo Boxes for Camping Gear
I use one similar to this. Picked it up from Home Depot. It's not water proof put will fit long ways with one of the third row seats up. It's also sturdy enough to sit on. Probably stand on also but haven't tried. I believe it was about $40 - $50.
