Timing chain replace
Try Land Rover of Tampa for OE/Genuine parts. They sell at a discount and have free shipping. I've had good success with them. Can't help with the other questions, sorry... haven't done this job yet. Sometimes their search doesn't work and you need to use Google to search their site for a... -
Lower control arm replacements
In Mercedes applications, Meyle is a complete waste of money with the only exception being their "HD" line. The same likely applies across all marques. I greatly dislike (and distrust) companies who have "Germany" in their name or logo, i.e. "Meyle Germany". This fools people into thinking... -
Lower control arm replacements
Looks like the sway bar end links are LR part number LR014145, ~$54 MSRP each, $47 from discount dealers like LR Tampa. https://parts.landrovertampa.net/Land-Rover-Part-Number-Index-p/lr014145.htm Aftermarket Lemforder links made in Turkey are $30-$35 from FCP Euro... -
Lower control arm replacements
I've heard anecdotally the Meyle "HD" line is acceptable... but I wouldn't touch anything Meyle otherwise. -
Lower control arm replacements
I keep reading about the vendor LCA's were purchased from, but not the brand name of replacement LCA's. Looking at the Atlantic British site (link), they don't tell you the brand name they are selling, and the $140 price indicates a cheap offshore copy. Ditto for Lucky 8, where they include... -

Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant
If there were forum admins present (I've never seen one here), it would REALLY be nice to have the forum settings changed to not block the word "s c r e w" and change it to asterisks as in the post above. What is this, elementary school? :motz: -
Weird battery behavior
+1 on AGM H8. EverStart has a 4-year warranty and the lowest price I'm currently aware of. Also make sure your charger, and alternator, are working properly. However some chargers may show fully charged on a defective battery. The only way to check is with a load tester. -
Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant
Any chance you can buy a vacuum filler for cooling systems? Seems this is the most foolproof method to fill the LR4 system. Bleeding through the various *****/ports seems to be a RPITA. :help: -
Cloud of Smoke
The factory manual says to drain oil first, but someone else reported they replaced the pump without draining, and no oil came out... however I think they had the truck angled, i.e. front axle raised, or on ramps. I will be replacing my vacuum pump in a few months, I bought a new Pierburg and... -
Intro! Firenze in HD
Maybe it's just me, but why would you want a newer truck to look older? :ahhhhh: -

Air compressor temperature - what is normal?
I have not had any faults since replacing the compressor, HOWEVER... we have not driven the LR4 much at all this past year. Pre-COVID it would typically get driven for a couple hours per week. I would be surprised if a 30kmi-old compressor is failing already, however it might be worth trying... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Draining and refilling without removing the pan changes roughly 30% of the fluid, and leaves the old filter in place. You need to repeat this a few times to change most of the fluid. If you want to replace the filter, the pan has to come off, and that is when some people prefer to convert to... -
LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
Odd that the class action only includes 2012-up when the issue was present on 2010-2011 as well. :stickyman -
New 2012 LR4 owner with a few questions
I thought if both sides drop up front, it's likely the center distribution/valve block...? Or less likely, the front distribution block? -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Don't expect Atlantic British to be selling OE/OEM either. If they don't explicitly state an item is OE or OEM... it isn't. :oops: -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
For Genuine LR parts, have you tried buying from LR of Tampa in Florida? They offer free shipping over $99: https://parts.landrovertampa.net/Land-Rover-LR4-Right-Lower-cntrl-arm-p/lr073367-110149.html I hate PartsGeek, btw, their site is awful. I buy aftermarket from FCP Euro (lifetime... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Hermes, this is fantastic info. Thanks for sharing, and please keep us posted on your swap! :adore: -
2015 LR4 - want a full size spare
I believe that is correct. From memory, the 2003-2005 RR wheels with different lug nuts also did not support TPMS. That may not be an issue with 2006+. I also did not want to mess with mixed lug nuts. The extra set of wheels is for dedicated snow tires (Nokian Hakkas), btw. -
New 2012 LR4 owner with a few questions
This answers a question I had, Ryan... my truck had the front block replaced at the dealer 6 months before I bought it, because 1 front corner was dropping. Now (a few years later) with a door left open to disable auto-leveling, the front drops evenly. Takes about a week to bottom out. I was... -
2015 LR4 - want a full size spare
No, you cannot use ANY rim from LR that is 19" and 2000+, at least not with the LR4 lug nuts. I got a set of 2003-2005 Range Rover wheels (19x8.0 ET57) and they fit no problem, however they required different lug nuts. I didn't want to deal with the hassle and ended up sourcing a set of LR4... -
Driver's Door handle controls (passive entry) not working
Based on your description, it sounds like the door handle itself; OR the wiring to the door handle. I'd remove it and inspect the wiring to start with. -
2012 LR4 with Early AMK Compressor Failure
Be careful with eBay sellers, who often sell off-brand stuff. If it's just a spare for emergency use that may be fine, but if replacing the main unit on the truck, you'll want Genuine Hitachi. I am a fan of FCU Euro for their lifetime warranty on all parts, but they don't appear to have the...
