2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
So far just the front, but given how slowly it went up to off-road height I suspect something else is up. -

2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
I stuck with the original tiny o-ring but used the rest of the new kit, all with a touch of plumbing grease when assembling. I'm not sure my leak was from the valve block, but the front was sagging quite quickly. I had the thing on jack stands for front hub replacement and got stuck due to... -

Ok, the smaller one is too thin: The rest seem good though. -

2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
My kit from British parts of Utah came in today, and I'm pleased to report that the kit looks spot on: Top is the old, bottom is the new. -

Ironman 4x4 Drawers
I believe the Front Runner drawers have a provision for an extension to reach the spare tire winch. I wonder if the winch could be relocated (say to the bumper area) with just a pulley in the original location and a longer cable, and remove the need to access it through the interior. -

Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4
It looks sharp, does pretty much anything you ask of it, the only downside is the fuel consumption. We have multiple cars already, so for us the LR4 is there for fun/family trips/inclement weather. If we had to drop to one car only, the LR4 would probably be the one that stays. That could... -

2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
The kit I got from amazon had clearly different sized O-Rings from what was fitted. Would they have worked? Perhaps, but they were far enough off that I just returned them. -

2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
Another test you could do (that might throw codes, mind you) is to unplug the front valve block electrical connector, leave the fuses in place. With the connector unplugged, the ECU can't open/close valves. That might tell you more about what you're chasing. -

2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
I'm still curious to know what the actual difference is between the front and rear valve blocks - I'm having sagging of the front after my control arm replacement, not sure if it's due to having depressurized the system and some desiccant dust got into the solenoids and are keeping them from... -

Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4
The diff lock will only engage when you're on the gas. Are you sure you have the lockers? I see mine engage if I give it a bit more gas than needed, both center and rear. In snow mode it will also start in 2nd gear only, to limit wheel spin. It is heavy, so it's best not to get it sliding... -

Control arm fail
I got my new control arms in, and the difference in ride quality was instantly noticeable. Glad to be rid of the poly, though I might keep the old arms and put OEM bushings back in them, keep them on hand as spares. I haven't inspected the upper LCAs, I'll add that to the list of things to... -

Is there an easy way to pressurize the system or do you need a special tool? -

front drivetrain noise
I had a thump-thump noise and it was separation of the tread casing from the tread of the tire. Got new tires and it went away, though it scuttled my plans to go to 18" wheels. I ended up with the toyo AT3, I've been happy with them. Is the thumping related to wheel rotation, or faster? A... -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
Also, I compared the Lemforder LCAs to the ones that came off (which look like the original, at least they have the Land Rover stamp). I compared the Lemforder ones and the only difference is the land rover stamp was ground off before they were painted. -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
I had a really hard time getting the ball joint loose, even with a 4lb hammer. Gave up on violence and got a ball joint separator kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09CT1XTK9 - it worked really well. Getting the arm rotated in such a way that the ball joint comes out of the knuckle was a... -

Lower Front Control Arms - Replacement - DIY Video
Dan, thank you for the video! I was having a hard time with my pickle fork (it bent before the ball joint moved), and searched a good bit for a separator - I just don't like hammering on things, seems uncivilized and a last resort. I found one that worked really well for me... -

Battery rundown protection?
I noticed similar last night as I was getting started on my LCA replacement - I left the rear door unlatched, and when I opened the driver's door I heard the fuel pump prime things. The radio doesn't come on though (no logo displayed on the screen) and I don't think the instrument panel woke... -

Battery rundown protection?
Thanks for the feedback on the Lensun, that's unfortunate. Solar panels should last a lot longer than that. Hopefully the Cascadia 4x4 is better. Did you change the wiper nozzles when you relocated them, and are they still heated? -

Battery rundown protection?
If you don't fully latch one of the doors that you don't commonly use it will prevent the system from waking up if you open another door. Eventually the car goes to sleep even if that one door isn't fully latched. Also there are hood mounted solar panels, lensun and Cascadia4x4 to name two. -

Loosing a little bit of coolant
I got this one: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/land-rover-saab-dex-cool-engine-coolant-antifreeze-1-gallon-zerex-zxel1 It's orange, not pink, for ford/Chrysler/gm. There's a version of Zerex for VW/Audi/etc that is pink. I don't think you're supposed to mix them. -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
Valve cover leaking down the back of the engine? -

Control arm fail
I am doing the same, but with lemforder (non HD) LCAs, for largely the same reason, though a bad ball joint precipitated things. -

LR4 Tailgate not opening
The recliner handle just lets you release the window (upper part), you can still climb over the tailgate. The window latch isn't accessible, so if the actuator stops working, you can't open it at all if it's latched. -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
Got my new lemforder lca's today, project for the weekend. Got new nuts, washers, and bolts, but forgot to order the bolts for the shock absorbers.
