Multiple dash warnings: Stability control not available / emergency brake assist not available / gearbox fault
if that brake switch code is returning, I’d probably replace that first before doing anything else. Even if it’s working to turn the brake lights on, any jitter in that switch might be compromising the signal to the other modules. -
Multiple dash warnings: Stability control not available / emergency brake assist not available / gearbox fault
Wondering if an ignition relay starting to go bad could cause these types of symptoms. not sure if these relays might chatter a bit when they are wearing out - not enough to shut down the engine, but enough to start causing faults like this. if you are getting the faults reliably, it would be... -
2013 LR 4-help diagnosing sound/vibration
It sounds kind of like the heat shield bracket on the transmission, but i think it usually resonates around 1700-1800 rpm or so rather than 2800. If this is the problem, understand that it is the bracket under the heat shield that develops a crack and starts to rattle, not the heat shield... -
2010 LR4 5.0 V8 intermittent driver-side ticking — exhaust leak?
Since no one mentioned it, the viscous clutch solenoid on the engine fan is famous for making a ticking noise when it starts to go bad. There are videos demonstrating the sound around if you wanted to check that first. -
Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes
This suggests injector leaking after shutoff. That’s a good catch. could be a lazy sensor, but also could be a symptom of something in the fuel control system. bank 2 is also where you are seeing the short term fuel trim fluctuate into rich territory (even though overall fuel trim isn’t maybe... -
Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes
One thing I forgot to mention - engine needs to be warmed up so the car goes into closed-loop feedback fuel control to evaluate fuel trims. If it wasn’t warmed up, you’ll need to do this again with the engine warm. Same for o2 sensors. Also, when looking at o2 sensors in the context of fuel... -
Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes
See if you can find fuel trims on your cheap scanner. Look at long term and short term for each bank at idle and at one or two higher rpm levels (in park, just hold the throttle as steady as you can). Won’t give you a firm diagnosis but will tell you if rich or lean and might help point you in... -
2016 Replaced front lower control arms and hardware
Did you just call and ask, or did he look. Wheel well liner would be my first thought. I can’t recall if there is insulation on the inside of the liner - if so and its missing, you wouldn’t be able to tell without removing the wheel well liner. -
2011 LR4 no longer overheating after sitting
Engine temperature sensors are designed to work when submerged in liquid (coolant). If it has no coolant left in it or you have a lot of air in the system, the temp sensors might not be registering an overheated condition. -
2015 Coolant leak, not cross overs
I don’t see any drips. Looks like the vaccuum pump in your pic - coolant is not coming from that. -

2015 Coolant leak, not cross overs
Might check your radiator as well. I feel like I’ve seen more reports of radiator leaks lately. -

Electrical issue/starting
Assume from your post that the megafuse checks out. When you say no power at all, do you mean no power to the starter or no power to the whole car, i.e, if you turn on the ignition (without pressing the brake), you get dash lights etc or just nothing? -
Clunking noise, only in gear
Sounds like spark-knock/preignition to me as well. Any chance you disconnected the knock sensors when removing the supercharger? I hit one of the sensor connectors when i did mine.
