    2010 Land Rover LR4 - Suspension Fault

    Yeah, whenever battery voltage comes up, address that code first and chances are the others will clear. Both of our LR4s threw all kinds of random codes when the batteries were dying.

    Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY

    What's keeping it from shutting is poor design and plastic manufacturing. Neither of mine in our 2 2013s ever really closed properly. It doesn't matter. Most batteries are right out there in the hot engine bay getting splashed like in my '04 Wrangler and those batteries seem to last longer than...

    Oil level not showing

    It does sound like this, or at least both of mine did/do. It's the fuel injectors ticking and it gets worse as they get dirty. Run Seafoam or the equivalent in it regularly to try and keep the racket down.

    Transmission Fluid Flush using Oil Cooler Lines - Anyone done it?

    I seriously wanted to do this and bought some of the home depot parts to do it but ran into two issues on my 2013 LR4: 1. The front driveshaft really needs to be removed to have room and, unlike any other 4x4/Jeep I have owned, it did not appear easy and obvious how to remove it. 2. The...

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    Just to tie a bow for anyone else with this issue. 2,000 miles and many months later I got them to set. I went out late at night and did the parts of the drive cycle where you drive at 60mph for several minutes and then let the vehicle drift to a complete stop without the brakes. This is...

    Best Brand MAF and MAP Sensors

    Funny I was just writing in the other thread: these vehicles do not like batteries that are on the way out, causes all kinds of wonky things like this. You mentioned the brief Batt light? How old is the battery? The MAP sensor should be right behind the throttle, it is on the V8 and is cheap and...

    Multiple error codes in cold weather

    Wow, that's a lot. I hope it is one of those cases where one thing ibroken and the rest will fall in line when you fix that. I recently had to change the MAP sensor which I believe may be the source of your first two codes, and it is cheap and very easy to replace. However, I don't know why it...

    Defender vs. Mazda mx5.

    Wasn't arguing legality, just dangerous AF apparently.

    Defender vs. Mazda mx5.

    Wow, I only ever saw this in a small screen and thought it was the lane changing vehicle that rolled, didn't see the Defender making the right pass on the Semi.

    sagging confirmed, now what?

    Appreciate you updating this frequently with learnings for when my 2013 air starts leaking!

    New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0

    I've had it forever, I don't know the brand or even where I got it. Its a plastic pump that looks just like a big hand soap pump that fits onto a quart of fluid and has tubing coming from the top. It is messy switching from one quart to the next but it works. I considered using my Mityvac but I...

    205,000 miles and about to service transmission question.

    I would die to have the ZF8 in my 2013. I had it in other high power vehicles and it is the best slush box. The 6 is a sluggish pig in comparison.

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    Update, I printed out two pages of different LR/Jag drive cycles and following those that I can do in traffic around here has set the CAT readiness after 80 miles but the O2's are still out. It's crazy how much conflicting info there is out there online for LR4 drive cycles.

    Rivian SUV thoughts? Looks like an LR4

    It would be awesome to convert an LR4, would be a great platform when batteries get smaller.

    205,000 miles and about to service transmission question.

    Gosh I feel like I've read this same thread on dozens of forums over 20 years. It's like red or black at roulette with the slush boxes: are you feeling lucky? I guess only time will tell with mine at 100k.

    Rivian SUV thoughts? Looks like an LR4

    Seems to be the first solid LR4 electric replacement option and quite honestly LR should have been all over it before rivian. Similar boxy looks, 3 row, very capable off road, top reviewed Demuro car of all time. When he goes through it, all the features are exactly like our Model Y, which we...

    New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0

    It's actually less difficult then you think. I actually have a very slight gradient to my driveway and put the fill side uphill to help me out. Remove the little heat shield with two 10mm bolts to give you more room to get up there. Have a solid fluid pump that won't let you down in the moment...

    205,000 miles and about to service transmission question.

    From my recent experience your symptoms are the fluid. Was it original? Lasted way longer than mine at only 100k miles. I found adding lube guard really helped as well. From extensive research on here and elsewhere, at 100k, I decided against the solenoids but did have them do the rubber sleeve...

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    Thanks, that's exactly the math balance I was trying to do in my head but both LR dealers around here have incredible dense service departments with techs that really don't know much of anything related to anything more complex than an oil change. I might be able to try and get a senior...

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    Update: still no luck. Tried the high RPM thing to get the cats hot, no dice. I don't have an IID tool, just a basic $25 scan tool that can tell readiness or read trouble codes. From some YouTube research it is most likely not all of my items that are "not ready" have an issue. Apparently...

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    Thanks, worth a shot. No codes. No cel. I think they fried something when they were testing the car. It's very strange. Internet research is oddly failing me on this one. Doesn't seem to happen to LR4s.

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    I'm wondering if OP ever solved this as I am currently in this state. 2013 LR4. No CEL has ever gone off. Took it in for inspect (PA) and they said the MAP sensor went bad DURING the emissions test... suspicious. They replaced it and said they couldn't get the monitors to reset. They said this...

    Best model years?

    You should drive the V6. I don't like it but the ZF8 is way better than the ZF6. We got a second 2013 after the first one got up there in miles.
