    Zip kit and fluid change, now won't go past 5th

    Yes… but who knows what condition it will be in… Out of interest, what is the best price LR would supply a new or certified rebuilt one?? (Yes, my experience is JLR will barter as will the dealer)

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    I suppose you could connect to the ODBII port to read the temperature but I just use a hand held IR. I don’t have the document in front of me but if I recall accurately, doesn’t ZF state shifts in the transmission during the refill process??

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Put it on stands. You'll need to as the fill process is done while its running.

    2012 LR4 150k Mile Maintenance

    Of course… if I was in Napa, I probably wouldn’t be driving it so much…

    2012 LR4 150k Mile Maintenance

    Funny thing is, I don’t preemptively change the injectors. I do change plugs at 100k kms. And all those “other” fluids (and filters) every 50k kms.

    2016 LR4 Original Owner. 75k. Thinking about selling, but not sure of alternative rides that can do everything this does.

    Yes. I concur that the P400 Defender is wonderful to drive. I took one out on that Land Rover Experience weekend, in Maine. But the disappointments for me were the full on electronic dash, the fact the cargo space doesn’t go flat, and where did the split tail gate/hatch go. And then there is...

    High Pressure Fuel Pump Question

    I don’t think that is accurate. Due to the combined throttle body, the mafs “collectively” supply data to the ecu. The ecu references the total air flow value supplied to the engine. These supply readings can in no way be “bank specific”. There us a clear writeup of this in the xkr workshop...

    2016 LR4 Original Owner. 75k. Thinking about selling, but not sure of alternative rides that can do everything this does.

    @machmike , I did not purchase new. But I did have the neglected, fixed. And since that time, mine too has been dependable and so enjoyable…. I’m keeping it as long as I can. I have looked about for alternatives but I do prefer the LR4. Simple, robust, luxurious and practical, all in one package.

    Best windshield replacement option?

    In Canada, Driver insurance ratings are not affected by a windshield claim. As such, the 3 times I have replaced a windshield, it was with the dealer. All for the mere cost of the deductable.

    Third head gasket job- why are they failing?

    Stranded 3 - 4 times?? How?! I've had no issues other than when the generator was done. Of course, mine has never overheated... can't imagine any good came of that.

    Coolant Tank / Cap Question

    It is fairly common; you get what you pay for. How long did the original reservoir last you… Glad you’ve sorted it out.

    Help needed!! More head scratching on battery/alternator/charging system... '06 LR3

    Well there you go. I’ve got better things to do with my time than worry if my battery is sufficiently charged. A prorated battery warranty…. my experience is you might save $20. But I doubt it. Cheers.

    Chasing Restricted Performance Issue

    ok. Give us ALL of the codes. The ECM is having a hard time. I wonder what is the reason for that. Cheers!

    High Output Alternator for LR3

    Do you really want it ;-) Truly, as a flooded battery has a different charging requirement from anAGM battery. And as the generator/rectifier solution in a LR3 is geared towards a flooded battery, I would not be spec'ing an agm. Also, the warranties. Who cares. The pro-rated warranties give...

    Help needed!! More head scratching on battery/alternator/charging system... '06 LR3

    But out of interest... does the LR3 "qualify" for and AGM battery? AGM's require a different charging pattern than a flooded battery; and I thought that this particular generator/recifier solution was better geared for a flooded battery.

    OEM vs knockoff gas cap

    we will have to agree... to disagree. I'm over buying chinesium. I would go into a fasteners and connectors shop and have them make me a tether... Cheers!

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Or just a sign that the adaptive handling would benefit from a reset…. fwiw, I “reset” all my vehicles every spring.

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Truly, I don’t over think it. If there are no codes; Change the fluid and filter. Period. If there are codes being thrown, apply the fix. The fix “may” be the zip kit. Or just the manufacturers repair kit. FWIW, mine are all original, minus the fluid and filters, of course. One of my 6hp...

    2010 5.0 V8 wildly different MAF values?

    True, but see ‘how’ the ecm interprets and reacts to such inconsistencies.

    2010 5.0 V8 wildly different MAF values?

    Well, some may disagree but I would want matching MAFS. Are you throwing codes? Though its for a different engine, its the same principle… Note the section on “not plausible”.

    2015 LR4 front end sagging overnight

    My vehicle does not drop in a 3 week period. Despite what some here have implied, it should not drop. It does self level of course.

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Correct, change the fluid and then go for a drive. Look at my signature block… this is how it has been done for all my vehicles. I only use oem fluids and filters.

    Johnson loft and spacers

    I see many messing with the geometry "for looks" which can really negatively impact "performance and safety". So, I always consider this: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ And in particular, the effects of messing with the scrub angle. Of course, if the vehicle is a garage queen, mall crawler...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Hmmm... maybe. All the documentation from ZF is clear... DO NOT reset the adaptations until the DTCs are read and dealt with. And the number one cause of transmission failure is poor quality/ or non compliant fluid. And only perform the adaptation reset once DTC's are not thrown AND after a...
