    Front diff right seal

    That looks major. The t-cases are pretty robust except the shift-on-the-fly wore out on mine. It started to bind while shifting out of 4H and into 4L. If I stop and shift it doesn't have a problem. But that axle shaft looks like it was not all the way installed, that must be why your boot...

    2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?

    That control arm looked dangerous. If that came apart on the freeway it would be a rough experience even with a good landing.

    LR4 Summer 50/50 Tire Recs

    You'd be surprised what the LR4 can do. Since I'm going to stop overlanding it makes sense but I've ran street tires all over the mountains and deserts of NV and UT. I had the idea that it can launch on the street harder with soft tires like the PZeros. They won't last more than 10k mi but those...

    LR4 Summer 50/50 Tire Recs

    I was thinking about Pirelli P Zeros or Michelin Pilot Sports. But another side is thinking about buying 5 18" rims and KO2's. I'm also thinking about BFG's Trail Terrain for the 19's but I want white lettering on the outside.

    Brake Problem

    The left caliper could be sticky. You could inspect the pads and see if there is heat checking or more wear on the LHS vs RHS. Realistically rain wouldn't impact that, but temperature might.

    Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)

    I'm curious about your swaybar maintenance. I think I hear a slight squeak noise in the front right when off-roading but its so faint its hard to tell where its coming from. Were there any noises or symptoms that the swaybar end-links or bushings were going out?

    2014 Land Rover LR4, suspension faults after compressor and valve block work

    Yeah, I've been bit by ****** "Land Rover" independents which includes a "Land Rover certified mechanic". Its all bs, they have some high school kids in there doing the work. Out front they park land rovers, land rover this, land rover that inside. Lots of shams out there.

    2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?

    If it were me I'd replace the LCA's and if the bump problem doesn't go away then look at the UCA's. There are LCA's sold to be compatible with Land Rover that have been known to fail completely and nobody wants that. I don't remember the brand I went with but it was said to be the same...

    2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?

    I did the water pump too on mine at 97k mi as well as changing ALL fluids new lower LCA's and more. It doesn't ride harsh at all. Its so buttah smooth that I gotta keep the speed down over speed bumps because I think that even though its smooth and cushy now over the bumps, if I keep doing it I...

    HD package retrofit

    That trooper sounds fun. A fully locked LR4 would one-up it I'd think unless the Trooper has more ground clearance. For the front steering resistance, I had the idea that I'll need to install an aftermarket power steering cooler. Previous experience on road coarses is when I work the steering...

    HD package retrofit

    Nice work. The lockers are a great feature. The front brake modulation was cool at first and it still is but it has limitations, been thinking about getting a front locker. ARB is pretty much the only one and it requires its own air compressor to be installed too. Ideally an e-locker with a...

    Expert Level - Charging System Fault 2016 LR4

    I'm curious about that part. There is a bare wire hanging off it and its connector with BMS written on it somewhere and I'm constantly handling it to disconnect the battery so I thought if I ever break it while handling it then I'll know what I need to buy lol. What is the specific Land Rover...

    Limp mode. Can't get above 4,000 RPM

    Yeah, generative AI is terrible. For the 4k RPM limiter, I've never had that on any of my cars/trucks, but I suspect Land Rover deemed it abusive to sit there and rev the engine. I like doing it, but with the side window down I can hear a lot more engine noise above 4K RPM while in gear.

    Limp mode. Can't get above 4,000 RPM

    Are you in park during this time? Is there reduced power too? I've noticed that on mine it wont rev past 4K for some reason, but in gear no problems past 4K.

    2012 LR4 - locating coolant leak

    That sounds like a good diagnosis. The T-stat and some other coolant parts can fail too that are in the front of the engine. At 97k mi I did quite a few coolant part replacements that included a radiator, t-stat, wpump and other coolant tubes were replaced besides the xovers. I'd have your...

    LR4 5.0 V8 - recent timing chain service with 4 new camshaft adjusters - still seems somewhat noisy??

    On my engine I had the chains and camshaft actuators replaced a few months after posting (2023) and the noise is mostly gone. It is very quiet compared to the link I had. On startup the engine will have a metallic knock that sucks and can be difficult on the drivers side, but it goes away a...

    What is this blanking cover in the dashboard

    I haven't been in there yet. One guy drilled a hole in the firewall right below the brake line on the drivers side to route wiring. If you remove the brake component dust cover in the engine bay, the brake lines are exposed horizontally and the hole was drilled under those lines and there are no...

    Engine smell when flogging it

    After two years I think I've discovered the cause of the exhaust smell while binge watching Roadkill!

    What is this blanking cover in the dashboard

    I looked at it on mine and came to the conclusion its to allow you to run a wire out the dash and onto the door or run the wire to the outside of the dash there. I could see the convenience when the plug is through the firewall. I've been contemplating wiring a multimeter to the battery and then...

    Rough idle and extreme smoke from exhaust following coolant system replacement

    You'll want to change the oil & filter. Maybe 2x lol.

    V8 5L - Thoughts on P0016 a year after chain change

    I had a cam code on my 5.0L after a shop did my chain. The engine needed to be under load to fail. Punching a hole in the air on the freeway would do it in 4th pretty much every time. But the event included the limp mode or whatever the Land Rover speak is. Onramps would trigger it too sometimes.

    Parasitic drain / Battery Monitoring

    The alternator sounds strong, maybe a little too strong as I thought 15V would be the limit. On my '12 I'd expect the battery to be dead if I just leave it while camping for a few days so I disconnect the negative cable. I don't think anything is wrong with it, the brains take power. Corvettes...

    LR4 Engine Noise Opinions WANTED!

    Sounds like there is a gnarly metallic knock on the drivers side. Is the noise coming from the top or bottom of the engine?

    Roof rail mounting options?

    The LR4 is built a lot like a 1/2 ton truck. 4,000 lbs IRS. I'd like to see how much it weighs empty at least in the back cargo area for the weight over the rear axle. Then subtract the weight from 4k for cargo capacity. The door sticker in mine has 1300 lbs cargo capacity but that is including...

    Air in coolant that just won't go away

    Whatever mechanism it sounds broken lol.
