Showoff Your LR4
All you need now is an xlifter to help you get level when you camp! -

I believe so: the actuator works on one side of the pads, the adjuster wheel on the other. At least that's how the drum brakes on my beetle worked! -

There's a procedure with the iid tool to put the parking brake into servicing position that I think you must do to get the rear rotors off. -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
Are the control arm bolts reusable, or do I need to get new ones? -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
So control arm, and see if the noise goes away, and if not then hubs! -

114k miles. I guess it's Christmas presents for the rover! -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
I've been hearing a bit of a growling/howling noise from the front left, more pronounced when weight transfers to that side (i.e. on right turns). I figured I was in for new hubs, got home and lifted the wheel off the ground and gave it a good tug. No play 12/6, but a clunk 3/9, and I could... -

Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I don't open the sunroof much, but I do crack it open for ventilation when sleeping in the car. When I cleaned mine, surprisingly they were still clear. I wonder if all the rain we get helps keep them flushed. -

I have a special tool that I got for my VW where the parking brake is integrated into the rear caliper and requires the piston to be rotated while retracting - impossible to do with a C-clamp. Just be careful retracting the piston and keep an eye on brake fluid reservoir fill level - you don't... -

Lr4 Brakes
I didn't need to replace the sensor when I did my rear brake pads, as the pads weren't worn out (some of the pad material had detached from the backing plate), no issues so far. -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I thought the fill port was on the side of the transmission housing, and only the drain hole was on the pan. If that is indeed the case, then fill-to-spill would get you the right level, but perhaps different volume. -

Control arm fail
I am on the fence about proactively replacing mine - the indy shop recommended the poly bushings to avoid frequent replacement of the oil-filled ones when I first bought it, so I did that not knowing any better. I'm due an alignment, so perhaps I bite the bullet and swap to the Meyle HD, or... -

Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I pulled the air intake grill out of the fender - PITA to release, but the drain is behind them. Once cleared with the trimmer line, I ran hot water through to flush. -

Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I did it with a short step ladder from the outside, the holes are in the corner, it would be a lot harder from inside IMO. -

Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I ran trimmer line through mine, it's plastic, and you can blunt the end so it doesn't catch on things. I'd be worried about wire poking through things. -

Showoff Your LR4
wet roots were really tough. I need to work on my rear wheel placement, I got the front fairly well sorted. -

Went off-roading in the Tillamook State Forest today with Jeep friends. Almost earned a t44 rear bumper: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AtjXg-z5Afhpk4de8u40cWTPlXuF7A?e=zcnHpG -

Range rover sport control arms on LR4
I was just revisiting this, looking at parts fitment, and the Meyle HD arms (53160500009HD and 53160500010HD) show fitment for LR3, LR4, and RRS 1. 53160500010HD is a replacement for 53160500001HD. -

Control arm fail
The poly bushings were indeed more durable than the original rubber bushings! I too regret putting the poly on, they make the ride a bit harsh, more NVH. Add the worry that the LCA will fail and it's tempting to switch back, especially since I need to get it aligned again anyway. -

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
I think coolant in the valley meshes with no coolant in the oil and not blowing smoke. I'd focus on trying to figure out how the coolant is getting to the valley before digging too far into the cylinder heads/combustion chambers. I'd guess a pressure test would show you where it's leaking from... -

Yeah, I paid about $170 for my rear pads from the dealer, it was better than their quote to replace the rear pads for $1200 - no rotors, just pads. -

Sometimes Atlantic British have better prices in their Amazon storefront than through their website. I bought the plastic retainers for the fender liners and hitch cover from Amazon, cheap knockoffs, they seem fit for purpose. For more critical parts I got to FCPEuro, Atlantic British, and... -

Looked it up, LR134696 is what the dealer gave me for my 2012, for whatever that's worth. -

When I had pad separation of the rear pads, I bought new pads from the dealer for my 2012 and they gave me pads that look more like the ones you posted for 2013+. They fit fine (and I think had a chamfer on both ends). Not sure which part number I got, will see if I can find out.
