Lower Ball joint replacement issue
Just wanted to follow up on this. I ordered and installed a knurled Delphi ball joint. Its OD was identical to the ball joint I pulled from the LR control arm. Pressed in fine with no issues. Knurled ball joints are typically used when you go to replace one and the tapered hole in the arm is... -

I did the belts when I did the coolant crossovers, forgot to mention those. Guess it might end up being an OEM radiator… -

Do you have a link to this connector? Is it something that fails often? -

Radiator replacement
I’ve got a leak from the radiator on my 2012 LR4, has 135K on it. I did the water pump, both crossover tubes, tstat and rad hoses about 30k ago. What else should I replace while I’m in there? Also, what is a good aftermarket brand of radiator to pick up? -

Head unit issue
As this came up again recently on another thread, realized I never closed out the original one. My issue was the factory amp "turn-on" wire went bad somehow. Below are some troubleshooting details and how I fixed it. The amp is on the passenger side in the cargo area. There are two fused... -

Frozen Radio Screen
Thought it was a bad amp, but It ended up being a bad wire that supplied 12v to the amp. I had to splice in a new wire. Been fine ever since. -

A/C Blower Issue
This still working for you? I've been operating basically replacing that fuse about once a year or so. It just blew again, so I'm guessing I'll need to replace the blower motor and the resistor to cover everything. -

V8 Coolant Manifold / Crossover & Maintenance Parts List
Nah, just a metal cutting bandsaw. I wanted to replace the belts simply as PM since the truck is a 2012 and has 90K miles on it. It was a good thing I did as the serpentine was cracked. The fan belt looked great, but you have to remove it to get the serpentine belt off (there is no adjustment... -

Land rover hitch adaptor alternative
I just put on the curt hitch as well. There were reports on here of not being able to use a full-size spare with it due to interference. Using an angle grinder, I was able to cut and grind down the portion of the 2" receiver tube which protrudes into the spare tire area (~.25"). Once that was... -

V8 Coolant Manifold / Crossover & Maintenance Parts List
Does anyone have a complete recommended parts list for replacing the coolant manifold / crossover pipes on a 2012 V8 LR4? I found this list in one of the threads, but no confirmation as to if this was accurate. LR018275 - Tube Water Outlet LR109402 - Heater Manifold Tube LR011038 - Bleeder Cap... -

Head unit issue
Thanks for the reply. I guess I can see how the IAM would simply disable all of the rest if the amp is non functional. I'm hopeful that is all it is. So I've found a bunch of used amps on car-part.com (mostly out of other rover vehicles, but I'm guessing they are the same part as my "high...
