Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)
Hello all! My LR4 has developed a suspension noise from the front right wheel that has gotten progressively worse over the past 5 months. The noise happens over rough surfaces. As of now I don’t have the abilities to lift the car above ground but I am working on getting them to investigate it...- Jimmy Brooks

You should drop all the things you had to buy for others who may want to attempt this project. I’ve heard of others doing it but having issues with getting the screen to recognize when it is locked.- Jimmy Brooks

Limp mode. Can't get above 4,000 RPM
they call it a soft limiter. Land Rover seemed to be ahead of its time for this kinda stuff, most car companies do soft limiters these days.- Jimmy Brooks

LR4 Engine Noise Opinions WANTED!
The noise in the beginning sounds like pulley noise. I had a D5 that made a similar noise and the noise would come and go. It ended up being the pulley on the upper RH side of the engine. Take a look at this video- Jimmy Brooks

2013 LR4 HSE V8
Curious if this viberation more of a noise or a feeling. I used to have a slight steering wheel shimmy in the 70-80mph range but around 85 it would be significantly reduced. Ended up being wheel bearings. I still have a slight vibration which is most likely LCAs which I’ll do this summer Not...- Jimmy Brooks

Clunking sound on very cold start
Fan clutch, mine used to do this when I would go skiing. Super easy to replace if you want to do it on your own. Took me 5 mins and a rented viscous fan removal tool from O’Reillys- Jimmy Brooks

SCV6 Engine chatter/knock
all my tools are in a different state so I let the shop handle this one. Ended up being a bad idler pulley bearing. Probably the best case scenario. Thank you to all for the help.- Jimmy Brooks

SCV6 Engine chatter/knock
Did some more investigating this morning. — - Pulled the oil filter and it was clean, no site of any material. - Checked the oil level and it was full. Decided to turn the car on and listen to patterns with the noise. To my surprise when I first turned it on it sounded normal for about 2...- Jimmy Brooks

SCV6 Engine chatter/knock
I know the tensioner pushing through the guide is common on the older AJ133s but it the tensioner collapsing common on the newer AJ126s? Any thoughts on it possibly being high pressure fuel pumps? The fuel trims have been slowly rising, last oil change I did about 15 days ago these were the...- Jimmy Brooks

SCV6 Engine chatter/knock
Could be high pressure fuel pumps. The fuel trims are completely wacked, running at nearly +30 per side. I bet that’s exactly what it is. No codes, I’m going to check the oil filter tomorrow to make sure there are no metal shards. If there aren’t I’ll drive it around and see what the fuel...- Jimmy Brooks

SCV6 Engine chatter/knock
Hello all. Returned back home today and the 3.0L SCV6 in the D5 has developed a noise. It follows RPMs, and I can’t tell whether it’s top end or bottom end Changed the oil 1300 miles ago and there was no metal in the filter, and pulled out 8.3L when I put in 8.5L previously. Praying that it’s...- Jimmy Brooks

Used SCV8 engine and trans assembly
IMO the sweat spot for powertrains in LR is between 14 and on when they came with the SC 5.0 paired with the zf8hp70. These transmissions were rated to 700 nm and the SCV8 only put out 625 nm. Because of this these transmissions were pretty reliable. The scv6 is paired to a zig8hp45 which are...- Jimmy Brooks

Air Spring reseal kit (LR016412)
starting to get a bit of chop in my front right wheel. Haven't gotten a chance to get the truck above ground to inspect but I'm guessing it is either the bushing that sits in between the strut and the lower control arm (which isn't a serviceable/replaceable item) or it's the lower control arms...- Jimmy Brooks

Where does this line connect?
that coolant hose is supposed to go to the throttle body. the fitting is located directly under the throttle body, when i did a valve decarb I found the easiest way to connect that is to unbolt the throttle body from the manifold, connect it, then bolt it back up to the intake manifold.- Jimmy Brooks

Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)
Hey all, got some very heavy rain yesterday. Opened the passenger side door up to a puddle of water on the floor and immediately realized that I didn’t drive yesterday in the rain. Opened up behind the glove compartment to find that it seemed like it came from the AC air intake and was coming...- Jimmy Brooks

Lift Question
When I got my wheels and tired originally I recalibrated the whole air suspension system and either put it half and inch or a full inch higher all the way around to make the ride height match the look of the bigger tires. I think it sits at a perfect height now, just a little higher than factory...- Jimmy Brooks

high pitched noise - Posting new thread due to other being moderated
I have the 5.0L. When I replaced mine they looked perfectly fine but the noise stopped when I replaced them. Wouldn’t know anything about the bypass valve for the supercharger though. I would start simple and build from there. I think PCV should be your prime suspect, I had the same thing and...- Jimmy Brooks
