    Front Control Arm Replacement

    I Have all the tools and the shop. the bolts were seized I ended up cutting the bolts off with a sawzall. After trying to press out a 75.5mm housing brushing that is only 1mm thick I chose not to waste anymore of my time, I purchased new control arms. I would also suggest for people who are...

    Low Battery: Start Engine - Battery fine...Alternator working great

    Need a New battery, I had an interstate last only 1.5 years. my assumption is that the battery has a dead cell. The LR4 is very sensitive to voltage, I would recommend to getting an Iland diagnostic tool or something similar. The Iland tool from roverparts.com saved me thousands of dollars by...

    Reliability

    The only people that tell me LandRovers are unreliable and expensive are people who don't own them and have never driven one. Im at 200,000kms and changing the bushings, replaced the brakes around the 150k mark which is amazing life span compared to domestic vehicles. If the LRnshop does the...

    Tell an LR4 guy how to love that Defender rear door?

    I felt devastated when i went for a test ride in a discovery and found out they removed the tailgate. It does have a little slide that comes out, but I don't think you can sit on it. this is a huge loss. I need a seven seater, hopefully the defender will pull through on these points. I can't...

    Stability control not available

    Problem Solved! I ordered the iLand diagnostic tool via Atlantic British Ltd. Within an hour i was able to resolve all the issues. I ran a test, found all the issues mentioned above, then ran a steering calibration test after following the simple instructions of turning the vehicle on and off...

    Stability control not available

    thanks for the reply. although i did warm it up in the heated shop for 5 days now, and nothing has changed. And i didn't lower the suspension and it doesn't have a leak. After the faults showed up the next phrase was worded something like this "suspension was lowered for my safety" I believe...

    Stability control not available

    thanks for the advice, I did plug in a tool and it showed nothing, and i disconnected the battery for a few days and trickle charged it. its just something i do with equipment when i know there sitting for a while. My guess is that a computer is down, there is a lot of things spontaneously not...

    Stability control not available

    It seems like my 2011 LR4 didn’t like the cold this week -32 to -45c . Ive never had an issue like this. Suspension is staying in the lowered position. (It says for my safety). The terrain selector, Hd, height control buttons don’t work. I was success full in driving into the shop to thaw it...

    Diy timing chain

    Thankyou for posting this thread with lots of detail. Currently I have a 2011 LR4 150,633miles/170,000km and I just replaced the water pump. When i start the engine cold it has a ticking sound, and it goes away and comes back moments later. I mention it every time I bring it to the dealer...

    Tow option question

    Do i need to go to the dealer to install the software for towing? Will the towing software also do the braking for the trailer or will i need to install a manual Brake controller? I did the AB DIY and its super easy (plug and play). When i hooked up i didn't see any tow options. I will look...

    Newbie - 2013 LR4

    Hi Pacman, Snow tires make all the difference, and then there are amazing snow tires. Scorpions are soft and great for sticking to the hot pavement in the summer. Winter is a different ball game. Especially when the temp reaches below 20F. After trying 4 different brands of winters, I have...
