2012 LR4 HSE weird vibration passenger front
You say front right, but I wonder if that's an illusion and it's actually your drive shaft carrier that's allowing the drive shaft to wobble... -

Showoff Your LR4
No pictures of it but got to do a little 2-wheeling when exceeding the cross articulation capabilities on some more technical stuff. Feels very weird to have the thing pivot on opposite corners as it transitioned from one set of 3 wheels to another. Impressed with the capabilities though had... -

LR4 Summer 50/50 Tire Recs
Oh I run the 255/60R19 size, slightly larger diameter than the stock 255/55. -

LR4 Summer 50/50 Tire Recs
I run the Toyo at3 and have been impressed with their durability off-road, when aired down (25psi send about as low as I'm comfortable with the 19's). I'm hoping I can move to 18's and run either ko2 or ko3 next time I'm due for tires. -

Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)
The ones I removed were the original that had poly bushings installed, replacements were lemforder. -

Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)
I tried a 4lb sledge and the only thing I managed to do was dent the knuckle. The ball joint would not release. I tried a pickle fork I had, and all it did was tear the boot and bend (yay harbor freight). Ended up with this kit and it worked great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CT1XTK9 -

Bad PCV?
I replaced the PCV valves a bit ago and I noticed while doing the oil change today that one of them looks oily while the other looks dry. Time to get another one and try again? No running issues, and I'm still losing about a liter of oil per 5k miles, which is unchanged from before the PCV... -

Secondary battery for camping
The BCM is on the ground path of the signal line from the relay, so it will be able to detect if there's no load when it tries to energize the relay to turn those sockets on. I haven't verified that it cares mind you, pulling one of the relays and scanning for codes would tell you. -

Secondary battery for camping
Might be simpler adding a toggle switch to the door switch, so that even when the door is closed, the truck thinks it's open? I looked at this a bit for keeping the accessory sockets powered longer than 3 minutes. I think you might be able to change the power source for some of this stuff by... -

I got a brand new Hitachi compressor last year, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LT7E2NI -

2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?
The poly bushings also change the loads on the control arms, where impacts that used to be absorbed by the rubber now aren't. I remember seeing a picture of a failed control arm in a post here, where the metal around the bushing at the front of the LCAs gave out (@djkaosone was it you?) For... -

2014 Land Rover LR4, suspension faults after compressor and valve block work
Telling you that you can't update firmware to AMK is wrong. It's also suspect that you would have had water in your air lines. To me it sounds like they were trying the parts cannon approach with a veneer of supposed expertise -

2014 Land Rover LR4, suspension faults after compressor and valve block work
I don't remember exactly where, but I remember stumbling across it when I was poking around the app. I still have a Hitachi compressor so never had to run the procedure. -

2014 Land Rover LR4, suspension faults after compressor and valve block work
Gap IID tool can update the firmware to AMK, that should be the first thing. Second thing is your mechanic sounds a bit shady. -

2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?
I mistakenly listened to advice and had poly bushings installed when we purchased ours in 2017 to replace worn out OEM ones. The 'lifetime' aspect appealed to me, but the harshness over bumps got to me and I replaced them with lemforder ones when I had to do tie rods. Noticeable reduction in... -

I saw recently someone post a picture, with jlr label, of an aluminum one. I cannot for the life of me find it again though. -

Land Rover now make an alu rear heater manifold for the V6, you might look into that. -

Strange errors occurring randomly 2012 LR4 HSE
I would have gone back in and had them test the battery after the failed start. It might read fine right after you stopped driving because the alternator was charging it. If the jump pack helped, that points the battery not having had enough charge as the alternator isn't doing anything yet. -

C1D21-05 (6C) fault
When I was looking for them, Lucky8 had the best deal on Continental ones (which I believe are what came with my 2012). They were out of stock due to COVID though, and I had to get new tires (old ones were delaminating), so I skipped. Once the sensors died, I just disabled TPMS. Concern with... -

Tactical 4x4 gone?
Tried accessing the tactical 4x4 site in hopes of finally getting sliders but get a database error. Are they still in business? The contact form on the site doesn't seem to work either, and I don't see email or phone number listed... -

Coolant change/flush?
I think the maintenance schedule is not rooted in engineering, but in human psychology and business profits. Buyers perceive that something is sealed for life, and for their usual short ownership that's a claim they won't test but makes them feel like it was engineered to last forever. By the...
