    ‘Click’ sound when coming to a stop

    So I’ve noticed my L405 makes a ‘click’ sound once it comes to a complete stop. This is not a suspension clunck or other external noise, but what sounds like a solenoid click somewhere on the driver side door area. Only happens once I come to a stop when braking. Any ideas?

    Aftermarket Rear Differential Cover: Worth It or Waste?

    @ftillier i agree, I think it’s just 2 halves bolted together, not a housing with cover setup.

    Aftermarket Rear Differential Cover: Worth It or Waste?

    It’s not specific to LR4s, but I know Banks did experiments with diff covers on diesel trucks and found that they weren’t accurate to the claims made by manufacturers. I don’t think it would hurt anything, but doubtful that they actually make a noticeable difference. I personally would just...

    2013 LR4 headlight lenses on eBay

    None, but I’m interested in your results. I’ve been putting off replacing mine, but I want to try it. The oven process makes me nervous, but I’m going to have to just knock it out at some point. If yours could report back with any tips it would give me some confidence; all the vids online are...

    A/C - Expansion Valve?

    +1 on the switch option; had that be an issue on my Silverado once. Although it would work for 1 compressor cycle then stop working, until you turned it off and back on.

    Range Rover knuckle recall extended

    The existing knuckle recall is being expanded through 2022 models. I worked with the lead investigator of the original recall to get this expanded, so if you or someone you know is affected PM me and I can get your info to the right person...

    Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !

    I was going to walnut blast my valves while I had it apart, but they really weren’t that bad, so I decided against it. I don’t think this engine design has that big of an issue like some BMW and VW gdi engines. My own theory is that the oil that puddles in the intake is x% of what would make it...

    Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !

    JLR has metal front pipes; have not seen metal rears yet. To me it’s worth the extra $$ for OEM metal ones, others seem to require a little modification either with different o-rings, or trimming the screw mounting hole. I used plastic rears when I jut did mine, just going to be a 50k mi service...

    *Front Knuckle Cracking - Cont.*

    Just received an email from George at the NHTSA - they have officially notified JLR that they opened an investigation for the recall to cover 2018-2021.5 L405 and L494 vehicles on top of the current recall for 2014-2017. This is the first step in extending the official recall through this body...

    Most popular injector puller?

    FWIW I might would try without a puller; when I did my big 120k mi service I broke the electrical connector on the back driver side injector. I was dreading it, thinking it would be a massive headache, but I put a little pressure on it with a flathead screw driver, and it popped right out.

    Beware of this little piece

    I use coolant on the o-ring and genuine JLR caps since they’re a pretty cheap part.

    Beware of this little piece

    +1 I replace this every time I do the coolant pipes; cheap insurance

    Aluminum thermostat housing

    @ugmw177 I agree, I’ve replaced my tstat twice just as ‘while I’m in there’ parts, but both times they were functioning properly, not leaking, and not brittle like the crossovers. I don’t see a need to go cheap-o eBay replacement when this part doesn’t have a catastrophic failure history. In...

    Absolutely @Kamino ! If you could email George as well, he is super interested in gathering the numbers cast into the original parts

    Suspension noise (possibly lower control arm)

    are the air struts rebuildable to replace the shock portion but not the air spring portion?

    *Front Knuckle Cracking - Cont.*

    When we talked, he hinted that he suspects JLR of hiding this problem across multiple part numbers which is why only the current range is 'affected'

    *Front Knuckle Cracking - Cont.*

    Hey all, After seeing my post to the fullfatrr forum 'Front knuckle cracking' sticky thread about my '21 having the same issue, I was contacted yesterday by George, the lead investigator for the '14-'17 recall at the NHTSA. He stated that he knew the problem was larger than the current recall...

    Front diff right seal

    Wow! Had you had work done related to that in the past? Price seems pretty reasonable to me; not hard work, just a good bit of time

    RR L405 safety recall

    For those of you outside the recall range ('14-'17), CHECK YOUR KNUCKLES TOO!! I just discovered my '21 with 30k mi. has a crack on the passenger side at the upper ball joint mount just like LR Time. Dealer will not fix under the recall since this model year is 'not affected', but I do have an...

    Thoughts and Experiences with the Range Rover 5.0 Engine?

    Ive only had my ‘21 for for just over a month, but I’ve had my LR4 with the SC V6 for 9 years and 122k miles. The V6 is literally the same as the V8, just without the 2 rear cylinders bored out. Rule #1: 5-7k mi. oil change intervals. Don’t follow the manual that states 15k. This will prolong...

    Unused connector in front doors?

    Possibly for the reverse dipping mirrors like on the RRS? I know the LR4 shares a lot with the RRS

    2013 LR4 HSE V8

    Also, that was after a pad/rotor change where I didn’t do the reset procedure; once I did that it stopped for good

    2013 LR4 HSE V8

    @Quijote I had the EPB issue too, but when mine happened it was a severe vibration you felt all over; once you pulled over and came to a stop and drove off again it quit. It would only do it 1 drive at highway speed after the EPB was on, then it would go away. If the EPB was not applied, it...
