    Strange misfires on the RH Cyl 1,3,5,7

    General consensus on this forum appears to be the GAP IID Tool: https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool/ https://lucky8llc.com/products/gap-diagnostic-iidtool-bluetooth-connectivity A cheap but way less powerful tool is this...

    Pressure doesn’t decrease when venting gallery

    This is exactly the issue I had (C1A13-64); please take a look at my journey on this particular thread: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-reluctant-to-lower-from-off-road-suspension-mode.44636/ For me it ended up being wrong ECU firmware for the installed compressor but to get to...

    2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode

    Hi @Longtrail - you and I must be living parallel lives. 2011 LR4 Lux 5.0L V8 non-HD w/ 105,000 miles. I got the same fault code on my first scan w/ the unit you suggested. Mine says it's intermittent and I am not having the same problems you did (yet). I also have an inclined driveway and when...

    2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode

    Also, if you jack up one of the corners; the opposite corner will also make adjustments! I think mine recently put itself in off-road height when I was "playing" with the rear handbrake system - see separate thread that I posted for that amusement!

    2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode

    I believe it will do this self-leveling every two hours; this is the reason when you're trying to diagnose air-leak issues that you remove the RLM (Ride Level Module) fuses so that the RLM ECU is removed from that equation.

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    Absolutely agreed, I see it as paying it forward; there's nothing worse than following a thread, then having somebody say "I fixed the issue" only to discover that the resolution is missing :( - Great!

    Suspension Fault Issues

    You're bang on the money, reset all the codes and then see which ones keep coming back... Once you've got some consistent ones then start trying to figure out what's causing them. For example, mine kept having a mirror code issue, figuring it wasn't that important I ignored it until I had...

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    This is great to know, LR4 won't start with particular symptoms then look at the mega fuse which is part number LR080537 and rated at 400a, a great search that hopefully helps others who stumble on this issue (perhaps us one day!).

    Suspension Fault Issues

    It will give you many codes that the IIDTool will so it's definitely a good starting point; in the aforementioned post I provided some of the graphs that the tool can provide; so opening and closing of valves. For $49 that pretty darn good and at least gets you in the OBD game! Keep us posted...

    Suspension Fault Issues

    In my long post on my suspension woes I mention the poor mans IIDTool: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QD4GZW4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 In the end I succumbed and bought the IID tool and this solved all my issues by reflashing for the AMK compressor (Suspension ECU...

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    Any chance of a photo - I'm curious. Sorry the starter didn't work; knowing this I'd be looking at things that can stop it turning over, so brake pedal switch, gear selector (?), lack of juice, etc...

    2013 to 2014 Face Lift Headlight Install

    I had a lot of little issues when I started with mine (still have many more issues to resolve...), finickity stuff that was annoying! Part of what made it mine was working through these issues... Hang tough you will get there! Figure out what's important and start there; don't sweat the...

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    I'd be curious to hear about the steps involved, I was looking for a YouTube video but couldn't find a great step by step video for the LR4! Keep us posted - Thanks.

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    Not sure how difficult it is to remove the starter and simply test it when it's out but that's what I would do; I'd be looking to ensure that it's: 1) Turning 2) Has enough grunt to push the pinion gear in to the flywheel The answer to these two questions may help figure out if you need a...

    Screeching sound in front of car after first turned off

    The suspension also "off gases" I believe, meaning I sometimes hear mine letting off pressure, I realize this is not a squealing sound; could it be somehow related to that? A video would be super helpful... Is it repetitive? Is it just on the engine-off event, so could it be something that...

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    That battery warning I believe is normal, I've seen it before when I'm in the car; have the radio playing and the engine's not running. The car will do a lot to stop auxiliary systems from draining the battery. I'd take the advice already provided and try to add axillary power to the battery...

    Overlander Question

    I think one aspect that you can't account for with the LR4 is just how amazing they are; it strikes me that many people (me included) buy them but don't fully comprehend how great they are until it's too late... I don't necessarily think they're any less reliable than any other vehicle; the...

    Interior sill plate protection

    Just wondering if anyone has found/installed an interior sill plate protector? My paint work is pretty scratched up and I'd like to (1) cover it up and (2) give it some more protection; here's a photo: Ideally the solution would have some curvature to it so that it wraps over the issue...

    Every Fault Known To Man

    I still have to do the drain tubes! I think you're in the right area in terms of battery/alternator/earth strap; the biggest single issue is going to be finding out which one! I think being on here will certainly help. I guess I'd try and rule out the simple stuff first, so I'd probably be...

    Rear handbrake - learning from my mistakes!

    I recently had a very weird noise coming from my rear left (US - passenger side) wheel, it was sufficiently loud that when passing pedestrians they'd look over at the LR4 (and probably helped perpetuate the perception that they're unreliable)... Anyway, lots of weird and different noises were...

    Every Fault Known To Man

    Is Washington State as bad as the UK for rain??? You'd think these things are excellent in the rain given their heritage! Thinking sunroof drain pipes in particular! Anyway, sorry to hear about your misfortune.
