    Rebuild hitachi compressor or buy new aftermarket compressor?

    I'm getting a C1A20-64 code and 'normal ride height only available' message. I at 100k miles, 2010 LR4, so it probably time it cramped out. Dessicant powder in the valve blocks? Is that readily apparent? Blow out with air?

    Rebuild hitachi compressor or buy new aftermarket compressor?

    Hi, Getting intermittant code indicating compressor is on its way out. $CAD 110 for rebuild kit, or $CAD 300 for generic new pump. Has anyone experience of rebuilding them re. Ease and continuing fault codes after seals and desiccant replaced?

    Lower control arm bushing question

    They are rubber, so I would expect some flex right? If you are not getting a clunk when going over bumps or pulsing the brakes at low speed then LCA bushings fine I would think.

    Brake pad fun

    I would second that. During winter had some brake noise which then went away. Sounded like sticking pad. Weather too crappy to investigate until spring when it had progressed to metal on metal grinding :( Turns out one of the lubed slider pins on one of front calipers had siezed resulting in the...

    C1A20-64 Fault (normal ride height only)

    Hi, 2010 V8, 100k miles. Getting an intermittant fault code and dash message. Seems compressor on its way out, and/or desiccant issues? Has anyone thats been through this have any tips? I gather mine should have a Hitachi type unit. Can't be bothered rebuilding existing compressor, so would...

    2011 to 2016 LR4 touchscreen display unit

    Used item. Its off a 2016 and does not fit a 2010 as I found out! Please check part number to ensure it fits your vehicle before purchasing. $CAD 350 plus shipping from Toronto, Canada.

    Audio Control Module

    I bought a used touch screen unit off ebay for $400, just be scrupulous about checking part numbers. I have a spare used one available (re. Checking part numbers), if you are interested? Its an easy DIY removal / installation

    2013 heater manifold (back crossover) replacement questions

    Replacing the rear heater manifold a little fiddly re. Bolt access, but not too bad. While doing mine I also replaced the coolant hose that runs through the valley. Seemed a good idea while I could access it

    2013 heater manifold (back crossover) replacement questions

    I would second replacing the 8 intake manifold gaskets. They must harden and lose elasticity over time. I got mine from the dealer in Toronto. Don't recall them being prohibitively expensive

    Not a repair I was expecting:)

    Noticed the tailgate 3rd brake light seemed higher at one end. Whacked it to re-engage presumed clip retainers to no effect. Closer examination shows the plastic brake light unit is glued in place and lifting off at one end. Ordered windshield urethane adhesive and will wait for warmer weather...

    2015 LR4 - Parking brake failure, help needed

    Note that the emergency release cable located beneath the cup holder inbetween the front seats can be hard to operate. I could not get it to release and ended up driving 3km with the smell of burning brake shoes

    2010 V8 serpentine and accessory belt replacement

    Thanks Stuart! Just like the LH pedal on a bike!

    Need some help with an engine squeak/squeal...

    Frequency increases with increased rpm. Sounds like a bearing? On my previous saab 9-3 the idler pulley bearings would chirp like crickets shortly before self destructing. Sounded similar. Doesn't seem to be a weak point with LR4's though.

    Dead for me too :(

    2010 V8 serpentine and accessory belt replacement

    Ha! All done last summer apart from the belts. However will have a look to see if showing wear. Are idler pulleys prone to self destruction? Had that happen on my Saab 93. Known weak point on that vehicle.

    2010 V8 serpentine and accessory belt replacement

    Approaching 100k miles and think the belts should be replaced as PM. Any tips on doing this? Tools for fan removal? I would think worth replacing tensioner pulley and idler pulleys at same time?

    2015 LR4 - Parking brake failure, help needed

    In the meantime you can continue driving the car, just do NOT use the EPB and avoid parking on hills :) Note that if it is only a bit out of adjustment then the gears may be okay. Checking brake shoe adjustment and resetting the actuator (GAP IID tool can do this i think) may be all that is...

    2015 LR4 - Parking brake failure, help needed

    There is a lot to be said for having a trad hand brake lever. An elec hand brake is an expensive repair just waiting to happen. Note when installing new rear EPB shoes there is an elaborate procedure for adjusting them. If not done correctly I recall this contributes to actuator self destructing

    2015 LR4 - Parking brake failure, help needed

    The EPB actuator mechanism is located behind and above the rear diff. Access to it is tricky. Check out YouTube and you will find some repair vids. Note that access on LR3 much easier as you can get to it after lowering spare wheel. Other infrastructure in the way of it if trying this approach...

    2015 LR4 - Parking brake failure, help needed

    Oh dear. It sounds like the EPB actuator mechanism has eaten itself. Mine did this a year ago and is a common problem. There are plastic gears and if the mechanism is out of adjustment (eg brake shoes not correctly adjusted), then it over winds (as I recall) and is toast. I suggest not using it...

    Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold

    True. Having said that if there is an economic case for phasing out fossil fuels (and there is), then China will be all over it and from what I hear, they are already advancing. This compares to Western politicians who waffle with one eye on getting re-elected. I think the west will collectively...

    Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold

    Thought about it, but low on priority list. Intermittent squeaking brakes which I need to address but weather too crappy and occasional slight burning smell. No one rotor seems to be any hotter than others. Burning smell may or may not be related.......oil / trans fluid leak onto something hot...

    Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold

    Yeah its not high idling for much longer than that. Just seems a bit longer than previously. Oh unrelated joyous event today. In response to my whacking the top of the steering wheel to cure an intermittant annoying buzzing (loose trim somewhere), my 13yo 150lb son decides to whack the dash...

    2012 LR4 with front left locking caliper

    I seem to have to re-lubricate the linkage on my 2010 every 6 months or so. The shifter becomes progressively harder to shift and finally get the popping out of drive issue. Lubing works wonders
