    Air in coolant that just won't go away

    Yes, it sounds that simple. They are electronic and can go bad. Buy the Land Rover brand from the dealer. I had it replaced proactively when I bought my rig at 97k mi.

    2016 LR4 Under body blowoff or "air burst" sound, is this a dead compressor sound?

    I seldom hear hiss and when I hear it bleed off air standing outside its mostly a second or two, not like a leaking air brake line on a truck. You'll burn out the compressor if you let it leak. Its not designed to handle that duty cycle long-term.

    Roof rail mounting options?

    An African Safari rack where its full-length and has 2' tall side gates to encase the roof rack would be the way. Remove the gates when you want to stow 8' sheets of plywood, sheet rock, 6X12's, 2X4's up there. I wonder how much weight it could hold without breaking the Alpine roof or if the...

    2013 LR4 HSE V8

    On mine I felt unsafe wobble at 115 MPH. I think it might be a bearing or housing of a bearing out of balance for the AWD system. Maybe an output shaft bearing. Its kinda violent and not something I wanted to push on any harder but in 4th it has more left in it. I also considered a wheel out of...

    Ride height sensors

    Ah, I'm just trying to learn more about things that may happen to my rig. The ride height sensors do sound broken but you could also check the connections to/from them. Disconnect the wire lead, clean and retry. When buying parts for the air suspension I would stick with Land Rover brand bought...

    Expert Level - Charging System Fault 2016 LR4

    That reading is after one startup after a 60A charger was left on the battery for 7 hours with the negative cable disconnected. I was wanting to point out the 14.33V in the OPs test result is not enough. With the battery left disconnected overnight it will still read 13V. After a few days it...

    Expert Level - Charging System Fault 2016 LR4

    Putting a volt meter on the battery with the engine running shows the alternator is putting out 14.9V and not 14.5V like I mentioned earlier in the thread. Then after shutting down and disconnecting the battery cable it sits at 13V. 12.9V+ is charged.

    Expert Level - Charging System Fault 2016 LR4

    POS alternator. Mine charges way tf more then that at 14.5V or so. Read up on AGM battery charging. There may be times when it is at 13.6V, nothing wrong but staying at that voltage is a charging problem.

    Does Land Rover have a policy regarding prior service history

    You are basing all that on an assumption. For the pic at those miles the alternator may start failing. I'm doing mine proactively at 140k mi. Expensive units and with the new alternator I'm thinking about wiring a Victron 50A 12V DC charger for a Lifepo4 pack and keep the old alternator as a spare.

    Rear Crossover Pipe leak confirmation Pictures

    For my rig the pipe ties two coolant channels together, one on each side of the V of the block and then other engine parts connect to it for coolant.

    SCV6 Engine chatter/knock

    I wouldn't keep driving it like that because whatever it is could let go and create an even more expensive repair. I don't know about that engine but maybe it could be a timing chain since that is Land Rovers weakness. A rod knock may not sound like that. Mine haven't sounded like that but one...

    MPG - Gotta be wrong....

    Land Rover uses their own algorithm, its not the one everyone uses with a calculator with miles driven and gallons used. Instant MPG is useful when driving down a grade because when it hits 90 or whatever max it shows that is when I turn on the AC for maintenance for free thanks to gravity. The...

    Down shifting in 4L?

    I tried to reproduce the down shift problem in either mode and it down shifts fine. I did have a problem yesterday with the battery and I'm not sure if its related. What happened was a slight bump that I heard but didn't feel crossing onto asphalt getting across the highway. The fronts slipped a...

    Down shifting in 4L?

    I've noticed while in 4L in 2nd gear, Sand Mode, Command Shift in 2nd I'll push the gear shifter to drop into 1st and it denies the request. I'll pull the shifter back and there is no response. Today I tried 4 times while going up a hill and no-shifting at all so I gas it harder, try again and...

    What scan tool to get

    Yeah, its not for everyone. People don't need that much power and control over their rig. That and it requires virtual machine experience although that isn't hard to learn.

    2016 LR4 Coolant Leak 50k miles (tstat, water pump, front pipe)

    The brass bleed screw is a gem. So easy to prevent massive problems. These rigs are high value still to this day. Everyone likes Land Rovers. There was a recent Land Rover publicity stunt video where a guy in a RRS climbed up a super steep stair case of some sort in a far away land. They played...
