    Transmission oil leak........

    Thats for LR3. Same procedure for LR4? I am thinking yes. Agreed re. iffy on jack stands. I have two sets of 10inch high ramps. Can get it nicely off the ground using all four. Doesn't help with burns from cat though :( No time to take it to my mechanic before trip

Gingerely removed filler plug and fluid gushed out! Oh dear.......... can only find links to LR3 procedure for checking level which involves...

    Transmission oil leak........

    So I read an LR3 transmisison fluid posting and the guy referenced that you need to have the engine running when checking the transmission fluid level or it will gush out when you unscrew the plug: "1. Don't be an idiot like I was, don't accidentally unscrew the filler plug all the way until...

    Transmission oil leak........

    I HATE LR4's! Put it up on axle stands with the body level and very slowly unscrewed the fill plug to check the level. Suddenly fluid comes gushing out!! ??? Probably lost a cup or so of fluid. Panicked replacement of plug. Plan B is take fluid with me and if any weirdness from gearbox I will go...

    Transmission oil leak........

    And I gave the garage a new one of those to replace when they did the pan and they did not fit it! However not clear if that is the culprit. Will check level and top up if needed until I can get it into garage.

    Transmission oil leak........

    Hi, So obvs 2 days before leaving on a 6k km road trip I notice what appears to be a tranny fluid leak. The leak appears to be coming from beyond the front of the pan. The lower section of the gearbox housing appears damp. The fluid is moving backwards resulting in the front half of the pan...

    Control Arm and Sway Bar advice

    They may have forgotten to re-attach brake sensor, or it was not fully seated. I had a sway bar linkage pop apart on one side. Primarily on road driving so can happen any time. A decent *** hole might do it if linkage worn i suspect.

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    Must say the design principles of floating calipers eludes me. The piston comes out and pushes the inner pad which contacts the rotor. But what causes the outer pad to contact the rotor? There is no spring loaded retraction anywhere, so when foot off brakes the pads remain in contact with rotor...

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    Bushing? I recall the two pins had slightly different designs. Can't remember which one siezed.

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    Thanks for the tip about silicone grease only. I took the slider pins out to check for grease and both were well lubricated and came out easily with no sticking. I can't see that they could be the problem, or am I not understanding how they work. Can they be covered in lube but still stick...

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    You mean the brass colored clips? Well, they were replaced when I replaced the pads and I greased each end of the pad where it sits in the clip, so I don't think that's the problem. The clips are non-ferrous so never rust, so the pads are unlikely to sieze in place. When I took the old pads out...

    Antisieze on LCA bolts tends to have that effect :)

    Huh....... replaced mine with eurospares last year. Will see how they do. The previous OEM ones lasted around 60k km or so, so $ for $ the cheapies probably not bad value, especially as next time I change them no Sawzall will be required.......

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    On the front where I had same issue, one slider pin was siezed solid.

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    Slider pins were fine on both sides, well lubricated and free moving. The wear was most uneven on both inner pads.

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    So, Just replaced rear pads on my 2010 V8 LR4. Last done with rotors (brembo pads and rotors) 12k miles ago. Both sides were kinda whacky with uneven pad wear. I had same issue with front drivers side pads, but that was due to one siezed slider pin. Slider pins at back sliding nicely. I took...

    Rebuild hitachi compressor or buy new aftermarket compressor?

    Hey, thanks! I am going the rebuild route. Ordered the complete kit from X8R in UK. Interestingly cheaper option than any of their rebuild kits from ebay sellers un the US.

    Rebuild hitachi compressor or buy new aftermarket compressor?

    I can't see there's any way to get a socket on it. Ordered a long 10mm ratchet wrench today......fingers crossed! :)

    Rebuild hitachi compressor or buy new aftermarket compressor?

    Hey, thanks. But if you are removing the three bracket mounting bolts, no need to renove the hex bolts while the compressor is on the vehicle? You can remove them to take the compressor off the bracket after the units is off the vehicle. Or am I misunderstanding you?

    Rebuild hitachi compressor or buy new aftermarket compressor?

    So had a quick look at it on the vehicle. Confirmed its still got a hitachi type compressor. The bolt on the underside holding the lower cover in place immediately snapped. Not a good start. Other two torx screws ironically came out okay. Did you remove the mounting bracket itself, or unscrew...
