Lower Control Arm ball-joint
The USA vendors which carried the Meyle HD LCA's are currently showing OOS / temporarily unavailable. You'd have to contact them and ask if/when they expect to get them back in stock. Links below, had been ~$150/each: https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/MY-LR073369... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
The transmissions are not sealed, nor "filled for life", despite the factory manual claim. Severe duty means crawling in city traffic as much as crawling rocks in Moab, or towing anything. So unless the truck spends its entire life cruising freeways with nothing in tow, it should have the fluid... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Dan, do you want to just change the fluid multiple times without removing the pan? If so, why not use the drain plug? This makes a terrible mess, but might be slightly faster & easier than using the fill plug hole. The 6-speed pan has a drain plug, I assumed the 8-speed would also have a drain... -
Another LR4 Saved from Coolant Death
Ryan, for indy never having done a rear crossover - was he talking about the V8, V6, or both? -
Another LR4 Saved from Coolant Death
...and if the shop has never done the job before, I'd consider calling around until you find a shop that HAS done it before. :eek: -
Gas Tank not filling up
Interesting. I'm not seeing any filter available for the fill tube, unless perhaps it's integrated as part of the tube. Did the invoice list a part number that was replaced? -
Another LR4 Saved from Coolant Death
While I would use DexCool in a pinch, the JLR antifreeze is not particularly expensive, and for a flush & refill I'd use the factory stuff. Are the two identical? I don't know, but for a few bucks difference, I don't want to find out. FCP Euro and RME both sell it online if you don't have a... -

Use the factory service manual (~270MB PDF file) as the primary guide, and anything else (forums, YouTube, etc) second. -
rotella T6 5w-40 for 2011 LR4
Everything Ryan said above is 110% correct. ^^^ Think I've mentioned this in other threads, but unless you routinely have to shoo penguins or polar bears away from the truck when parked outside, there is absolutely no need to use 0W-20 and almost zero difference in cold flow, vs 5W-20 (assuming... -
Another LR4 Saved from Coolant Death
Don't trust the web site compatibility information. It may or may not be accurate. Other than contacting a dealer to confirm fitment, you can use Microcat, which is the dealer part lookup tool (not user friendly, bought mine off eBay). Not sure if there is an online version available. You can... -
Coolant leak on my 2012 LR4
AFAIK you just want to have the truck on a level surface, and check it cold. Pretty sure the reservoir only has a marked level range for cold? Dunno if there is any valid "hot" test. (??) -
Another LR4 Saved from Coolant Death
Be careful with brand names. Rein is a reboxer and there's no guarantee the part is OEM kwality, let alone OEM. While I buy select items from Rock Auto, they carry a very wide selection of garbage. At a minimum, don't shop based on price. OE/dealer (aka Genuine Land Rover) is generally the... -
Another LR4 Saved from Coolant Death
Any chance you could post a list of all the part numbers for the V8 model? Microcat isn't exactly clear on some of these bits... don't think I've seen a comprehensive list (which would be a nice "sticky" in the LR4 subform). -
Oil change and 64K service
See post #32 at this link for the oil analysis with Red Line. Looked great. Haven't had another oil change yet since we're not driving much due to COVID. I could think of any reason to use 0W-20 instead of 5W-20. Both are much thinner than the Red Line 10W-40 used in all my other vehicles. -
LR4 Mileage Poll
This is particularly true if you are NOT changing brands, i.e. Hitachi to AMK. I replaced my old Hitachi with a new Hitachi after several failed attempts at repairing the old one. After a half-dozen R&R's, think I had it down to like 20 minutes? Goes faster when everything is already clean and... -
HID to LED Headlight upgrade
Consider yourself lucky to have HID's. I am making do with the crusty old halogens... o_O -
MAF sensor and O2 sensor bad?
Same here. My dash gauge also hits the middle (actually around 70°C, IIRC) within ±5 mins driving at 40-50mph, even in cool ambients. -
LR4 Mileage Poll
After the 2010 LR4, our next newest vehicle that we plan to keep is a 1997, and the rest of the fleet are all between 1987-1995. All have ABS and airbags (which I consider a minimum), most have traction control (very useful on snow/ice). The one newfangled techie thing I like in the LR4 is the... -
LR4 Mileage Poll
And 20+ years ago with even fewer nannies. :cool: The mobile phone started changing things back in the 90's, not in a good way. As the price came down & size got smaller and everyone had one, things got worse. The "smart" phone with instant access to everything (mid-00's?) dumped gasoline on... -
Front Wheel Bearings - Question
Looks like you are correct, FSM screenshot below. Don't know where OP got the 268 lb-ft (363 Nm) data. Same question though, I would assume you put the truck on the ground and then tighten. No need to do it in the air, unless the tools will not fit through the center hole of the wheel (I... -
Front Wheel Bearings - Question
Just curious... why would an impact wrench be needed? Why not get the nuts snug with the truck in the air, then lower to the ground and torque to spec? The typical limit on 1/2" torque wrenches is ~250 lb-ft but if spec is 268, I'd consider 250 close enough. The cost of a quality 3/4" torque... -
Battery Management System & power discharge leak
All of the above is correct: ^^^ This is also correct. Ideally you measure the amount of current draw, and start removing one fuse at a time, until you find out which item stops the excess draw. Then trace that circuit/component and repair whatever is causing the parasitic draw. If there is a... -
Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?
Be careful with plastic ramps. -
Transmission issue when cold?
Ideally they would take apart the VB and verify the Sonnax kit was installed correctly, before spending $2500 on a new VB, but I suspect they don't want to do that. :( -
Getting tires installed at Discount Tire - Lift Concerns?
So much for my theory that it's pretty hard to screw up lifting at the frame. :confused:
