    Noise? Rod Knock

    Running some errands around town and thought I heard a little ticking noise. Played around with throttle position to see if I could make it happen. Goes away while coasting. Pulled into a parking lot about 4 miles from my house and it sounded like belt squeal as I was turning. Sounds real...

    Dieseling engine noise

    I think you can check the cam angle in the live values with the gap tool. They're probably fine. For a "refined" vehicle the motor is pretty noisy.

    U3000-63 & "Park Aid Unavailable"

    I have not removed the tire carrier and bumper to take another look at mine. Only real problem with leaving it broken is the annoying beep at startup.

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I know of a G wagon for sale, only asking $35k. It has 270k miles.

    Testing air suspension for leaks?

    My old Ram would lower into aero mode at like 55mph. 100mph in something less aerodynamic than an old Volvo seems like a bad idea.

    Cylinder 5 Misfire

    When the injectors were replaced, are you sure they did the correct bank? On my v6 the dealer said they replaced coils and plugs on 4, 5, and 6. Upon further inspection they replaced 1, 2, and 3. I could tell because they wrote the date on the coils.

    8-Speed Transmission Pan

    I didn't use rtv on the transmission, just on the o-ring isolators on the heat shield as glue.

    8-Speed Transmission Pan

    I was getting some hard shifting while the transmission was cold and being at a little over 100k miles I figured it was time to drain it, drop the pan and put a new one in. Ordered the kit from Atlantic it went pretty well, putting my experience here to maybe help others. Transmission cross...

    Terrafirma Accessories

    Thought I'd post something that might be of use to other members instead of my usual, "please help me". Put the the terrafirma roof rack, ladder, and tire carrier on my truck last fall. A few tips and tricks for anyone else out there. The roof rack comes with stainless hex drive bolts. Toss...

    U3000-63 & "Park Aid Unavailable"

    Went around the vehicle with a paper towel tube and took a listen, nothing. I don't think the module is even telling them to activate. I plugged in my fancy generic code reader and read some live values. Where is the actual brain bix for this located?

    U3000-63 & "Park Aid Unavailable"

    Yup. Tried removing park aid and putting it back in the CCF menu too. If I push the park sensor button, it blinks 4 times. ‍♂️

    U3000-63 & "Park Aid Unavailable"

    I had seen that on another post and stuck my automotive stethoscope up to all of them. None of them make any noise.

    U3000-63 & "Park Aid Unavailable"

    Installed the terra firma rear tire carrier on my '15 LR4 last fall and it would intermittently trigger the inner passenger side back up sensor. Fast forward to winter and I get "Park Aid Unavailable" with a very annoying beep at start-up. I just pulled the tire carrier and bumper off. I...

    New Tools

    Quickjack 7000TL Costco was selling them for 1700. Only accessory it didn't come with were the pinch weld lifting blocks. Which I'm sure I'll order at some point even though the lr4 doesn't need them and the pinch welds on my 240 wagon have returned to mother earth.

    New Tools

    Bought these because my project car is a pain to lift with a floor jack. Figures their first use is for maintenance and repairs on the lr4. (Oil change, vacuum pump, and transmission pan) Took a bit to set up and level the driver's side.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Little different than having a pickup, but a roof rack is actually a lot better with lumber than a short bed. Only annoyance is the hooks on my tie downs are kind of useless now. Replaced a bunch of the hooks with some spliced three strand loops so I just girth hitch around the rail.

    Solenoid Leak

    That's it. Half the time it is just needing to know the name of the thing.

    Solenoid Leak

    While looking for a good recovery point* on the front of my '15 LR4 (SCV6) I noticed a bunch of oil on various lines under there. Traced it up to what looks like some type of solenoid that is next to the crank pulley. What is this? Assume it needs a new o-ring and that I'm not going to be the...

    Blinking headlight

    Headlight design is really nice on these. Pop the grill off, slide the two tabs up and the whole unit pops out. Don't lose the rubber on the back of the unit.

    2016 SCV6 Bank 2 misfire

    Bit of a long shot, but low effort to swap plugs and coils between 1 and 4. Little bit more effort and you can include 2 and 5. Also give you a chance to look at the plugs.

    Misfiring Cyl 2/4/6 ?? 2015 LR4

    Funny you ask. Remember that generic scan tools can show a misfire on 2, 4, and 6 but if it actually throws a code you'll see that it is indeed 4, 5, and 6. Land Rover changed the cylinder numbering and a lot of aftermarket scan tools will be off on cylinder identification. I have swapped in...

    Misfiring Cyl 2/4/6 ?? 2015 LR4

    I was just looking around to see what else I can monitor in real time. Cam position sensor for the inlet and exhaust on bank 2 are both sloppy compared to bank 1. Adaption values are also fairly different. Ordered a new cam solenoid and o-ring. Possible the motor is telling me I need a new...

    Misfiring Cyl 2/4/6 ?? 2015 LR4

    I have not done a smoke test. When it misfires bad you can feel the vibration and get a little bit of hesitation when applying throttle. Lambda equivalence is always rich during bad misfires. So not enough oxygen and / or too much fuel. Been like this since I got it. I don't smell an...

    Misfiring Cyl 2/4/6 ?? 2015 LR4

    Didn't have a ton of time last night, but measured compression on 1 and 4 because they're the easiest. Cylinder 1, 180psi. Cylinder 4, 190psi. The engine was warm, throttle was wide open, fuel pump relay had been pulled. Earlier in the day while the motor was cold I pulled the plugs on bank...

    Misfiring Cyl 2/4/6 ?? 2015 LR4

    I've been focused on watching the live data on the air mass meters. Blocked off one MAF at a time so air had to go thru only one while the other read zero. Ran pretty well for a while, then I noticed the measured air come up nominally 20-25% with spikes up to double what would give a good idle...
