Best online source form a oem timing chain kit?
Welcome @Tumbler (Roland). I'm currently in Seattle, and was born and raised in the Puget Sound area. Great group of folks here. Where did you get your LR4?- BigBriDogGuy

$56,000 2016 LR4 Landmark - Pricing typo or rising market?!?
There's an as* for every seat! Probably hoping some financially secure buyer stumbles in and doesn't know or care.- BigBriDogGuy

Anyone deal with cracked sunroof rails?
Not that part, but one of the plastic pillars that pushes the window up on the tracks is cracked. My solution is not to use the sunroof. It was discovered when I brought it to an Indy guy that does nothing but sunroofs when I was looking to clear a clogged drain. Simple guy, but knows his...- BigBriDogGuy

Break in the MOST ring? Fiber optic interconnect
I got a couple fiber optic bypass loops from Amazon (1 male, 1 female). My problem is the cameras intermittently go down and the audio gets interrupted in a pulsating 2 second continuous pattern. The audio icons on the display screen also gray out in time with the pulsating pattern. The...- BigBriDogGuy

Upgrade or keep 2010 V8?
I'm in the same boat. Mine is a 2011 LR4 Lux non-HD with a little over 140k miles. I've been looking, and I mean looking hard, for a backup in the event the LR4 goes down. It's sort of a hobby of mine to browse through the online auto postings on a regular basis. I've actually test drove a...- BigBriDogGuy

Dreaded rear hatch actuator issue!
Just did actuator and latch yesterday. It took about 30 minutes. Watched a Powerful UK video and got some parts advice. Really wasn't that hard. Now I can feel confident about accessing the back cargo area again. By the way, the top plastic trim piece lost some of the clips used to secure...- BigBriDogGuy

2011 5.0 head gaskets
@ftillier Good dogs and good rigs, they never last as long as we'd like. I'm not going to worry about it too much right now. I don't see any signs of overheating and the performance is good. At 14 yrs and 140k miles, I expect all sorts of things are going to start failing. Right now, it's...- BigBriDogGuy

2011 5.0 head gaskets
When you find yourself staring into the abyss... Noticed a small amount of coolant loss from the reservoir over the last couple months. I'd say about 1/8th inch every few weeks. Had the entire coolant system replaced about 6 months back. Took it back to the LR Indy for some other work...- BigBriDogGuy

Break in the MOST ring? Fiber optic interconnect
Okay, this is weird, finally was able to get a camera fault on my dash and I didn't clear it. Turned off the vehicle and plugged in my scan tool and it showed a rain sensor fault, but nothing else. I had previously cleared all the old faults. I ran it again and same thing. I wonder if a...- BigBriDogGuy

Break in the MOST ring? Fiber optic interconnect
@MellonRover Wow man. That video, fantastic. But what a PITA? I think I'd almost rather hum to myself driving down the road and use the rearview mirror backing up.- BigBriDogGuy

Best way to clean out sunroof drains
I had a clogged drain diagnosed soon after I bought mine used (10 years old/100k miles) and tried various methods, like the trimmer line. Finally I took it to a local guy that specialized in sunroofs, it's all he does. He dropped the corner of the headliner on the passenger's side where it was...- BigBriDogGuy

Break in the MOST ring? Fiber optic interconnect
@MellonRover I'm in the process of chasing down a similar problem. Misery loves company! :D I've been getting an intermittent camera fault that brings down my cameras, but also causes my audio to drop out on a 3 second cycle (plays/cuts out/plays) that continues to cycle as long as the cameras...- BigBriDogGuy

2011 LR4 Lux Non-HD Head Unit Replacement
Doesn't wound like a popping speaker. More like a binding and releasing sound. Rover Range suggested maybe an air conditioning mechanism opening and closing. Not sure, But now I've got a bigger problem, a metallic popping and scraping sound coming from my driver's side rear wheel. Someone...- BigBriDogGuy

2011 LR4 Lux Non-HD Head Unit Replacement
Watched a video on how to troubleshoot a stereo system using the fiber optic loop. Looks simple once you see it done. The components of the system are linked through fiber optic harnesses (instead of wire). By removing the harnesses and bypassing each unit in the sequence with the fiber optic...- BigBriDogGuy
