Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...
The wife's Range Rover did this, driver side ice cold passenger side cool, the shop added some Freon and that fixed my issue. -
Discovery Sport Bluetooth issue
This was my experience yesterday. The wife and I test drove a 2021 Byron Blue Disco 5 Landmark w/22k miles, it is everything you want in a smooth ride but lacks power, the supercharged 3.0 is way under powered compared to my LR4 and Range Rover both V8's and the information display is a little...- Cthehentz

Suspension Fault Issues
If the LR4 is holding air over night, self level when parked or setting in the drive thru like it should and you are still getting faults it most likely the compressor. The wife Range Rover compressor just failed, the only odd behavior she said it seemed louder then normal, in the Range Rover it... -
Thoughts of 0w-40 oil in 2012 RRS SC w/202k miles?
Stick to factory recommended oil, change more often if you live in either extreme cold or hot environment.- Cthehentz

Compressor running
I went through this on my LR3, rebuilt the compressor, bought Amazon special that failed, in the end I bought a factory Hitachi compressor and that solved slow to fill warning. -
LR4 is getting hot inside with breathable car cover on
I cut up two large windshield sun shades making inserts for the two sunroofs and ceramic tint to block the UV's, Las Vegas heat is no joke. I did this on my LR3 and LR4, the wife's Range Rover also has ceramic tint.. -
I think I need a new bearing. Do LCA replacements "while I'm in there"?
When my LCA bushings failed ( both sides ) I did get frame like knocking pulling onto the driveway, small bumps on the road, slight shimmy in the steering wheel, slight vibration braking and sometime nothing at all. Also noticed when driving say 5mph hit the brakes and mine would clank most times. -
Strange misfires on the RH Cyl 1,3,5,7
If one of the tabs are broken that could cause a vacuum leak, now I'm not sure if that would show misfire on 1-7 but it's worth looking into it. Same affect if your engine is running and you remove the oil fill cap. -
Coolant Temp Questions
If you are concerned you can install a digital gauge like scan gauge or ultra gauge that will give you a digital read out and you can set alarms for certain things if they go above your settings. My 5.0 runs 195-210 in Vegas heat where we can average 110-116 middle of summer. -
Passenger valve cover leak. Where?
I just had both valve covers replaced, the passenger side was leaking above the alternator and back lower corner. The rear drips leaked onto the LCA and the skid plate. -
2008 L322 SC code C1130 and C1A00
It sounds like your front valve block may have an issue, you can spray soapy water on the airline fittings and the block valve to check for leaks. Does you Range Rover hold air all night?- Cthehentz

Battery - IID Tool Strangeness ?
You want to replace both batteries at the same time, the old battery will always drain the good battery until they both level out usually lower. The aux battery for start stop features also runs certain electronics or in conjunction with the main battery. -
2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode
I have three Land Rovers and they will self level when stopped for a minute or so and when you shut the car off. -
Suspension Fault Issues
I also learned this hard lesson, On occasion my R3 would show a suspension fualt until the compressor failed, the wifes Range Rover did the same and it too failed. Don't ignore these signs, in the off chance yours does fail in the future stick with factory replacement not the cheap units on... -
2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start
I think this controls everything related to accessories, aka alarm aka immobiliser and so on.
