    ZF6 to ZF8 upgrade!

    I don't disagree with you. And that's not to say there is anything wrong with the 6hp either. Sounds more like the management sw in your bimmer was the issue. What is the matter is the lack of maintenance.

    2010 LR4 Air suspension need advice

    Many jump to replacing the compressor, when in fact its working fine. The valve block is the issue that many ignore the first time around. Additionally, there is maintenance that can be done for the pump: desiccant, cleaning the air filter. The filter is accessible without removing your running...

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    Its interesting to read the number of those who install bits from alibaba, or similar... then go back and swap them out for OE, and discover everything now works. I recently read in another forum 1. where the subscribers were complaining of the lack of interoperability between LR (QA'd)...

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    Also, I concur with @jlglr4 , those values are not consistent. Are those OE (original equiptment, LR branded) replacement sensors? (Yes the distinction... OE ensures LR specifications are folllowed. OEM merely means its the same manufacturer but not necessarily the same specs adopted.)

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    @rubbndubbn . And battery capacity test is irrelevant unless, the battery is cold, and resting for a 6 hour period. (The very same process used at any reputable dealer) But glad to see following a complete charging it holds 12.6v after a 24 hour rest. Correct, your battery is good. FWIW, an...

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    12.26v is a battery at less than 30% capacity. It needs replacing. Your generator is working overtime trying to keep up with demand and charge the battery fully, which it will never be able to do.

    Auxiliary Battery

    Its commonly -20 here now. In the winter, I run both heaters, concurrently with the A/C on. I like my seat heater and the front and rear defoggers. And I'm always listening to some genre of music. Thats a lot of electrical drain. Of interest, at a stop light, the engine shutoff occurs, nearly...

    heated windshield on -> voltage drops to 12.7

    Typically, if the dynamic output generator is constantly running at maximum output, the available power of the main battery is starting to slide. The battery is a fundamental part of the electronics system of a vehicle today. One quick way of ruling this out: perform a battery voltage reading...

    Extend seat rail or increase stopping point distance?

    And I'm surprised that there are those smaller than me... the seat goes too far forward, the steering wheel too low. I adjust my seat so that my eyes are inline with slightly above the centre of the windshield, and sit upright... and then I see those who drive lying down. Go figure.

    Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4

    But we all agree, this are noisy engines... unless you perform a very major overhaul. Actually, I don't mind the noise any longer... sounds like a battle worn 4X4 up for the next challenge.

    I have loaded up the rear with gear. And the value of the air suspension is the self levelling.

    When is it time to say goodbye?

    Hmmm, a heating device failed... never heard of that. ;-) And there was a notice issued and available through the dealer network on the changes to the maintenance schedule.

    Cold weather transmission failure

    Actually, most any modern electronic managed, heavily accessorized vehicle is (necessarily) dependent on a sound electrical power source. P=IE, means these vehicles demand full current and voltage. Coincidentally, I know of a few vehicles that come standard with a built in battery maintainer...

    Rusted brake line

    Well... there's a few common ways to do the job: 1. Lift the body and replace the lines. (its just a matter of time til the other side rusts out) 2. Work from underneath as your Inde suggests. or 3. Run a new line in a different location, without any of the work described above. (Can't...

    Howto: DIY LR4 Alternator replacement

    Its true that the variable output generator does adjust output based on load. But you have no extra load. Also, there is no definitive proof that the high output generator will last any longer than what is spec’d. So me, I’d stick with OE, as you said, it lasted this long. Cheers.

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    Yes, these are all essential maintenance items. Its good its getting done. While you’re in there, pcv valve, rear coolant hoses, change the supercharger fluid.

    As I understand it, could do, if oil changes were not frequent enough. Certainly far more rare than the 5.0, prior to the tensioner redesign. Touch wood, at 180,000km I’m on the original set.

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    @TimVZ , glad you're getting things sorted. FWIW, in Canada, the rebuilt engine for my LR2 was sourced and installed at the Jaguar/Land Rover dealer. It came with a 1 year parts and labour warranty. And plenty of good will on other things that needed doing.

    Is that the price for repair from the LR dealer or an Independent? I think its worthy to check both.
