EPB again

PURCHASING A 2012 LR4 HSE OVERLAND BUILD
agree. If I were purchasing this, before driving it much, i would replace front coolant crossovers, rear heat manifold, thermostat housing and related pipes/hoses and water pump including plastic line to oil cooler. IF these items fail, you could be looking at a new engine. Timing chains... -

Disappointed in Wix
I use JLR or sometimes Mahle. Never a problem with either. -

A/C - Expansion Valve?
If memory serves, there is a pressure switch on the system that monitors high and low refrigerant pressures and I think it interupts the compressor solenoid if pressures are out of range. You may be able to jump the switch/sensor and see if your high side goes to near normal [probably >200psi on... -

A/C - Expansion Valve?
Our 2011 A/C is really cold with ambient temps of 95-98 or so; it rarely gets above that here, thank goodness but humidity is usually really high when temps are 95ish so there's that. Anyhow, I think your low pressures assuming refrigerant charge is correct are a result of a faulty compressor... -

Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !
for the SC 3.0, i would use the JLR aluminum front crossovers. I would avoid the aftermarket metal ones. Rear heat manifold I would use the oem plastic. unfortunately there are not jlr metal pipes for the NA 5.0v8 -

2015 Coolant leak, not cross overs
water pump replacement is fairly easy [at least in lr4 terms] but dont let that tempt you to ignore the front crossovers and rear heat manifold while you are in there. BTW, there is a brass replacement for that little plastic elbow if you so choose to "upgrade" and you might as well do the... -

Lr4 alarm sense of humor
My son left his LR4 in my driveway for a couple of months while he is traveling. I agreed to drive it every week to keep battery from going flat and just keep it up. Anyhow, night before last I guess it was feeling neglected so at 1am it decided to sound its alarm with horn/lights flashing... -

Locking Fuel Door
hmm, around here i would be way more concerned someone might cut off and steal the catalytic converters instead of the fuel -

OMG..LR4 glove box replacement
Just wanted to share this pig of a job with you all. Son told me his glovebox [upper portion] had broken. Sure enough one of the plastic hinges had sheared off so the box hung open sideways. I purchased a complete glove box assy from a breaker. Now for the fun. I think JLR built the car around... -

Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)
never had the ball joint spin but if you do, you can put a hydraulic jack under the steering knuckle and put some pressure on it that will stop spinning until nut can be removed.
