There might be a part number either on the headlight assembly, or on a sticker on the assembly... but that would require knowing which part numbers are which. I'm away from home at the moment and don't have access to Microcat to look up the part numbers.
Any chance you have access to a cooling system pressure tester? If so, pump the system up to about 15psi and you'll probably find the leaks REALLY fast. Some FLAPS/McParts stores may have a free "rental" for the tool (you buy it and return for full refund when done using it), worth checking into...
This is good information - thanks for sharing!
If the aftermarket pipe is inferior enough that it doesn't last a few hundred miles, Atl Brit should stop selling it - period. Maybe they don't know about the failures, you could give them a heads-up.
Was the previous pipe from Atlantic British visibly different, i.e. lacking JLR or FoMoCo markings on it?
When buying parts from aftermarket vendors you must be VERY careful that they aren't selling aftermarket copies when you think you are receiving OE/Genuine JLR parts.
Also keep in mind...
I picked up the John Dow 6-gallon extractor, and it works very well. An air compressor is needed for this to work (a small one is fine). Once nicety is there's a separate hose to empty the tank using low pressure, so you don't have to tilt the whole tank and try not to spill dirty oil. The...

In the past, my justification for higher-cost, higher-quality oil was the ability to go twice the miles on the OCI. When the good stuff was "only" twice the price, the cost was the same either way (actually saving 1 oil filter expense), and saving the 1-2 hours messing with the oil change / oil...
Thanks, Ryan! I haven't researched LR4/AJ133 oils in years, since shortly after I bought the truck in 2017. At the time I started using dealer 5W-20 oil, but the dealer soon only had 0W-20 available so I switched to Red Line. I really like Motul products, might have to give their Specific 948B a...
I didn't realize they had a High Mileage version of the EP. Thanks for the tip!

Totally agree! I was trying to find a source for Genuine Land Rover oil filters, as the online dealers seem to be vanishing rapidly... the few that remain seem to all have outrageous shipping fees, and none offer free shipping on orders over X dollars. Poking around eBay, I found what appeared...
Finally have an update. We moved in 2022, and racked up a lot of miles on the LR4 while going back & forth multiple times for the move (700 miles each way). And, at our new place, I also didn't have a lift to make oil changes easy via the drain plug method, and I didn't own a vacuum extractor...
I may not be understanding the question. What is the "ABS Procedure"? I did not perform any GAP IID tool procedure before, during, or after. If referring to the "purge cycle" mentioned above, that is not necessary if only replacing brake fluid.
Now, if you have replaced any system components...
You may be overanalyzing the procedure. Here's a modified version of what @ktm525 posted a few years ago:
Step 1: Siphon old fluid out the master cylinder reservoir
Step 2: Refill master cylinder reservoir with fresh fluid
Step 3: Fill pressure bleeder with new fluid, connect to master...
The Motive pressure bleeder connects to the brake fluid reservoir, and pressurizes the brake/ABS system through the reservoir. There's no other connection to the brake/ABS system except the screw-on cap.
I also bought the Lemforder LCA's, Made in UK, and appear to be OEM Land Rover with the LR logo removed. Think I posted photos of them on the forum a few years ago. Half the price of Genuine LR.
I paid the dealer to install & align... and still have the intermittent !@#$%! clunking noise from...
I finally did this in September 2021, using a Speedi-Bleed pressure bleeder. Used 1 liter total of Pentosin SL-6 fluid, had zero issues with the bleeding process. Siphoned the reservoir and refilled with new fluid (about 400mL), then extracted 150mL from each wheel.

Did what yesterday... replaced the vacuum pump?
Forgot to update: I did replace the vac pump in fall 2021. I don't recall any significant amount of oil coming out. It wasn't enough that I had to add oil afterwards. This may vary depending on the level in the sump. I had done an oil change about...
@Adrien, did you see the post at the link below related to the charging system?
https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/lr4-smart-charging-charging-strategy.39878/post-244028
I'm not exactly sure - I only know what other forum members have reported where the vacuum pump can start to allow oil entering the intake, which isn't good. The external leak is just a nuisance. If your wife is just seeing normal condensation / smoke on cold starts in the morning, this may not...
If you want the leak stopped long term, replace the entire pump.
I tried to add sealant to the pump (including the plastic fitting, which was leaking like yours is) and this reduced the oil leak, but never stopped it completely. I installed a new OEM Pierburg pump in Sept-2021, and that cured...
Found it (link below). I thought it was a Summit Racing tool, but nope, it's an off-brand and I can't find the manufacturer's website. Almost appears to be an Amazon house brand?
Often there are repair kits available for the ratchet head, but you'd need to try and contact the manufacturer for...
