    Drivers Side Floorboard Wet

    If the A-pillar is not wet then it is most likely the sunroof drain tube rubber grommet (part that goes through the body). They often become brittle and dissolve so the water from the sunroof no longer drains into the wheelarch. Plenty of video's on YT about how to fix it. Best to buy a new set...

    Help! Its Smoking!

    It's just a failed o-ring. Replace it and that will probably fix the leak.

    Is this a bad tie rod?

    Sounds like bad tie rods. A common wear problem. Make sure you order the correct ones for your vehicle. They changed the thread on them. See this video:

    Windshield wind noise.

    Badly installed windscreen. Could be the cause of the noise. Is it an original (LandRover or Pilkinton) windscreen? The non genuine ones usually have a poor fit and cause all sort of problems.

    Air in Brake Lines

    There is a specific procedure to bleed the ABS unit. You can use the GAP tool to do so. Don't know if you actually bled the ABS unit in all your efforts.

    Cloud of Smoke

    It is unburned fuel. The vacuum pump is part of the evap system and connected to the vapour canister. If there is liquid fuel in it instead of vapour (overfilling of tank or faulty purge valve) it can cause the excessive smoke when the conditions are met that the fuel vapour is normally lead...

    Interesting Overland setup

    Video is in German but with subs you can understand his comments. Most intersting is how he fitted the airline rails with supports for jerry cans and kitchen box. If one would add a nice interior storage system it would be a very nice Overland LR4. PS: the jerrycan holders are from...

    Rain Water Leak

    If it isnt the roof then it's likely not properly sealed windscreen. We had the same and it turned out to be the windscreen (non original). Now replaced and all is ok.

    LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy

    Fit a battery to battery system. That will keep your secondary battery charged. If your main battery is "getting low" the alternator will kick in.

    DIY water pump and crossover pipe Video.

    Recently did that. Sorry no pics. Most tricky part was to move the wiring loom and its plastic bracket (back of the engine) far enough away to take out the old pipe and put in the new one. I removed the bracket and it's support. I didn't move the inlet or any other components, not needed. I...

    Hi All, Anybody ever installed an air heater in their LR4 V8? Location? Preferably not drilling holes. Was thinking about the diesel type with a small plastic tank for the diesel (outside of the vehicle). Want to be able to sleep in the car and some warmth is welcoming:). I know the Webasto...

    Low coolant. No leak?

    Check the back of the engine. The cross-over pipe on the back could be where the leak is.

    Considering Discovery 5 Purchase..

    That design would not meet European pedestrian safety regulations. The new Defender will have to meet them, being a "World" vehicle. This Bronco is for US market I suppose.

    Another Defender hint?

    The rear, roof and bonnet are clearly added bodypanels to cover the real shape. Common practice for oa mule vehicle. But the mirrors look like a hint towards Defender.
