    Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline

    I had the same code. Turned out my exhaust sensor (top of the compressor) got unplugged. I'd start by checking you have the right compressor firmware. If you do, next step is to pull the compressor and see if you have a wiring issue.

    Looking for thoughts on leak under engine block

    If you can't even tell what fluid this is, it's going to be really difficult for us to help.

    Engine disassembly after going ****

    It's notorious for having a bad crankshaft, which wasn't the problem here. Christian (the guy on LRTime) did a masterclass in the problems with the TDV6 on a prior video on that channel. Long story short, his theory is that JLR wanted to use this engine in so many different vehicle models...

    18" New Defender Steelies on 2010 LR4

    My brake pad switch was unrelated to the wheels. I had run Hawk pads with OEM rotors in the front since October 2018 and loved them. They were getting worn and replaced them with new Hawk pads (and new OEM rotors) in April 2023. Hawk did something different to the backing on their pads and I...

    When a vehicle is listed on Bring a Trailer, does BaT write the description based on questions they asked the seller? They all kind of read the same.

    18" New Defender Steelies on 2010 LR4

    I've been running them since August of 2021. Still love them. Only issue now is that since I switched back to OEM brake discs and pads on the front, the brake dust is really visible on the white wheels. EDITED: Realized I've been running the steelies since August 2021 and not 2022.

    Sounds similar to Mission Hills, right near my house. I see more L322s there than anything newer Land Rover-related, and my guess is that they are all really low mileage.

    Also, that low mileage one does not have the HD package, so someone may be in for a rude awakening when they think they are going to turn it into an overlanding rig without a low range transfer case.

    Not sure why, but a lot of Long Island cars get little mileage. Guess maybe their owners take the subway or something? No idea. I'm just a midwest dork taking a guess.

    Different oil level readings with hood open

    Common sense will tell you it will read lower. Despite the oil being "thinner" when it's warmed up, it still takes a bit for it to all drain into the oil pan. This is ostensibly why Land Rover has the 15-minute wait period without the workaround: to ensure the most accurate reading possible...

    Different oil level readings with hood open

    I was going to say this, but glad you were the first. I have never seen more misinformation than I've seen on the LR4-related facebook groups. Common sense and easily verifiable things, too, like which engine came in which model, differences between the LR3 and the LR4, availability of...

    Different oil level readings with hood open

    I have never heard of the vehicle having different readings. Why would it? Seems like an extra complication for no rational purpose.

    Radiator Replacement

    On my 2012 (originally purchased in December 2012), my radiator was leaking and replaced under my CPO warranty in December 2018 at around 80k miles.

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I'm really curious what the resale/depreciation will be on the Grenadier. If similar "off road oriented" models are any indication, it's probably pretty low. Jeep Wranglers barely depreciate, especially the 4-door unlimited models. G-Wagons almost defy logic on how little they depreciate. I...

    There may be nothing you can do... P0016

    @Al Pizzica 's LR4 is a 2013, meaning it should have come with the updated design of the timing chain guides and tensioners from the factory.
