    2013 LR4 Rear Axle Fault, Stability control not available, Emergency brake assist not available, HDC not available system fault

    @Aderry late to the game here, I’ve been fully immersed in the Grenadier world. I’ve had the same issue before. The actuator stepper motor can get stuck. Give it a slight tap with a mallet and see if it frees up. After that you’ll have to put the rear diff through a calibration test to reset...

    Defender vs. Mazda mx5.

    “A blue Mazda CX-5 is in lane 2 and is about to miss the 5th lane exit. He abruptly cuts in front of a truck from lane 2 with almost zero notice - clipping a New Defender in lane 4 & sending it rolling at least 6 times!” It’s not an mx5/miata. But still. Crazy roll. A highway speed elk test…

    Poor man’s CarPlay installed

    I had one that replaced the factory head unit. The type marketed as ‘Tesla’ style. Anyway it lasted 2 years. Started flickering, ran really hot and the contrast started going, that was in addition to the horrendous glitches and software crashes. So back to the og I went. To be honest. In my...

    Trusted transmission shops in LA area?

    Sounds like you’ve got your bases covered. Let the forum know if they take off the body or remove it from underneath. Apparently it’s possible underneath but a real pain. Fingers crossed you get another 150k :)

    Trusted transmission shops in LA area?

    It’s pretty involved from what I read, easiest with the body off. I’d do everything I could to avoid it. Have you tried resetting the adaptations, and verifying the fluid level etc? Have a read of this older thread.

    Transmission oil leak........

    You can warm the new fluid before you put it in the transmission as well. It lessens the time you need to run the engine for. The temp stipulation is only there because of the coefficient of expansion of the fluid to get the correct working level.

    Correct procedure for checking transmission fluid level on 2010 LR4 URGENT! :(

    Yes. The torque reading on your wrench is calculated from the center of the square drive portion. The extra lever action of the special tool determines the calculation.

    https://penriteoil.com.au/assets/tech_pdfs/154 ZF 6spd Filling Instructions.pdf Pretty much the 6 speed and 8 speed require you to have the torque converter full (which is why they say to cycle the gears) on the initial fill and then at the respective temp filling until overflow. That’s how...

    Gear selector compatibility

    I was faced with the same option. Get calling and you’ll track one down. Took me a few hours but I got one next day.

    Gear selector compatibility

    Here’s some pictures for comparison. And a warning to everyone else. These electronic gear selectors don’t like cola being poured on them. Also just before it died the illumination ring went out.

    Gear selector compatibility

    Not sure on that part number. But the correct one is LR090489 this is for the module with the black top, silver dial The Land Rover name for this part is “module -transfer shift control” Mine failed earlier this year and it was a nightmare to get a replacement. I called 15 dealers all over...

    LR4 Front coolant outlet tube BS

    Ask them the procedure they used to bleed the cooling system after repairing. It’s quite specific on this cooking system. Either way. Sounds like you got lucky :)
