    Discovery 4 Sat Nav reset

    The USB stick can be used multiple times, it is the unlock code that authorizes it to work, When I worked at the dealer we only has 2 USB sticks for upgrading, (every time an update would come out we would get a new stick) and yes the code can only officially be generated by Nav tek/here to...

    Wow!!! What did I find? Help me figure this out.

    It is a restrictor for the PCV system, It is designed to control air/oil vapor getting into the intake manifold, I don't know the side effects of leaving it out if any, I have seen a few vehicles with it missing..

    LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy

    The known issue of headlight dimming has been with non hid lights and it is when the heated windshield is automatically turning on and off, Land Rover changed the programming on later models to combat this, the voltage fluctuation from the adaptive charging is not a sudden change, so it should...

    which power steering fluid for 2010 LR4?

    Pentosin CHF202 is the equivalent to factory power steering fluid, and should be much easier to find as most late model European cars us it.

    Clunking persists after new bushings

    Everything comes down to cost The bushings cost about 70-80 each, and they only pay maybe 1 hour beyond R&R of the arm, vs the $400 plus each arm costs (at dealer pricing)

    Clunking persists after new bushings

    Land Rover warranty will only pay the dealer to replace the bushings, not the whole arm

    Land Rover will typically pay for your flight home then when the car is fixed they will tow it back to your home,

    LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy

    From how it was explained to me by Land Rover when I worked at a dealer is that it works with the battery monitoring sensor (the little box with 1 wire on the negative battery post) to monitor and help extend battery life by charging the battery as needed...

    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    Same reliability as the 4.4, I worked at a LR dealer from 2001 to 2016 and never saw a 4.4 or 4.2 SC die of natural causes (all were either overheated or never had the oil changed....) The Sport and FF RR had more problems than the LR3 may have given it a bad rap ?

    change of 4.4 l on my LR3 to 5 L or 3L

    Or just swap in a 4.2 Supercharged from a 06-09 RR Sport ?, same trans and engine mounting points, same generation engine management system, They did change the final drive ratios to make it feel quicker, similar HP to the 5.0.

    LR4 Power Steering Fluid Flush Questions

    I have always removed reservoir from its mounting, sucked out as much fluid as I can, removed and capped the return line at the reservoir, then added and extension tube to the return hose to a catch container (and secured so it does not fall out and make a mess) then lift the front wheel off...

    Jump start short + puff of smoke = charging sys. fault

    There is a small wire that runs from the positive terminal to the battery monitoring unit on the negative post, that wire is most likely burnt up, I thing it is a fuseable link type wire.

    What did they do!!!

    No Worries, :smile: The 03-05 Range Rover used the older 5HP, everything before (Except the Freelander) that used the 4HP

    What did they do!!!

    The transmissions may not be a swappable due to bell housing and programming it is still a 6HP26 so has basically the same internals, uses the same pan/filter and fluid. So not quite a completely different transmission

    What did they do!!!

    The Land Rover recommended service interval for the LR4 transmission is 150K miles or 10 years, on the LR3 it is 120K miles or 10 years. The LR3 ones says fluid and filter, But the LR4 only says fluid....

    Brake problems again. Sticking calipers

    The lubricant required on the rubber bushing on the slider pin needs to be silicone based, no type of grease should be used as that will cause swelling of the bushing and cause it to stick, this is what we use at the shop I work at...

    What did they do!!!

    In my time at the dealer I have seen clearing transmission adaptions kill a few transmissions, if the clutches are pretty worn then the computer is not able to re adapt before it starts slipping and cannot recover, The ZF tech support recommended not clearing on anything at or above 100K Have...

    2001 Discovery Series II Suspension

    When fully raised the cracks are closed because they are not in the folded area, if you watch the bags when raising and lowering the suspension you will see how the bag change in length and rolls under it self, try the jumping test making sure you are at standard height.

    2001 Discovery Series II Suspension

    It is the rear suspension bags, they crack where the bag folds under it self, usually in the position they spend the most time, (standard height) the cracks will leak as they flex, the quick way to test is to spray the lower half of the bags with soapy water then stand on the rear bumper (or...

    LR has had my LR4 for 3 MONTHS!

    That is probably the sales departments notes from when the vehicle was sold, stk would be Stock # as every dealer assigns a stock number to every vehicle in inventory (usually a different letter prefix depending on new or used or vehicle line if a multi brand dealer) so for future reference on...

    ABS SENSORS, O2 SENSOR, LR OEM TAIL LIGHTS, and BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED...still have the 3 amigos

    Also check your brake fluid level, If low the ABS/traction control/stability control will not be happy, as it does not know how low and if it can perform its functions properly.
