2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor
I didn’t realize shena****ns was a word that needed to be bl*cked out, but apparently it was done for me! -

2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor
Typical dealership shena****ns, doesn’t matter what brand it is. A quality independent is always the way to go. -

2013 LR4 Suspension Compressor
I went through 2 aftermarket Hitachi style units from a reputable Land Rover specific parts house in less than a year in my LR3. They wouldn’t warranty the second one (even though it had a lifetime warranty) because they said I had an underlying issue (I didn’t). I bought a used OE AMK unit off... -

Unexpected LR4 project
To be fair, he bought a vehicle that was in a wreck. That’s as “as-is” as you can get. I’ve worked on enough to know this type of damage is very common in those situations and I highly doubt the seller was aware. -

Copy that. I haven’t flipped anything in awhile and I’m getting the itch! -

1996 Discovery alarm
A ‘96 Disco came up in the local classifieds: “Not running due to alarm box getting water infiltration. Ran fine until then. Bought a refurbished alarm box But don't know how to program it to the ECU.” They’re asking $600. I’ve owned a few D2s, but never a D1. What would it take to program... -

LR3 Dash Lights
What are you using to scan it with? If it’s just a generic OBDII scanner it probably won’t get you far. I personally use the Gap Diagnostics tool and would not even attempt to own a 3 without one. -

How do you completely delete TPMS on 2007 LR3?, + other minor issue.
The GAP tool (or equivalent) is required owning a 3, in my opinion. It’ll fix your dash light (though errors will still show up if you scan for it). They are a pro level tool that can flash updates to the modules if necessary. If you’re adding a full size spare, I’m guessing you’re adding... -

What would you do?
Gap is VIN locked as well, but you can hit additional VINs. I do believe there is some basic functions that don’t require that, but I’ve never tested that myself. To the OP, if you’ve done all of this without the proper scan tool you’ll never solve it. Given everything you’ve done you probably... -

Fog light and tire pressure and oarking sensor help
Sounds like a cut or break in the wiring harness to me. All three of those systems would likely run wires together. -

numerous codes after lower control arms installed
100% it needs an alignment. I’ve done control arms twice myself on my 3 and it’s dropped to the bump stops both times on my way from home to the alignment shop. -

numerous codes after lower control arms installed
I have a 3, but in this circumstance they are similar enough. If you hit something hard enough to skew the steering wheel off center by more than a few degrees, it will throw a fit. I have many miles off road, bounced off many a rock and have not had an issue. I do have a certain amount of... -

Remind Me Again Why We Love These Things?
Certainly not apples to apples comparing my 3 to the 4, but I’ve got over 200k miles on items you’ve done preemptively under 100k. I’m currently at a little over 265k and I’m due to replace the original rear upper control arms and rear struts. According to Instagram experts I’m WAY out of the...
