Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading
Could someone tell me if the viscous fan on a 2015 LR4 is left or right threaded? In the maintenance manual on page 5254 it states left-hand thread and on page 5349 is states right hand thread. Has anyone removed the fan and let me know which way to loosen the nut. -

Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading
I pressurized the colling system and found a leak on the right side of the radiator at the bottom corner of the plastic that runs along the side of the radiator. I plan to replace the radiator myself. That said, it appears this is not simple job. As I understand it the engine cooling radiator... -

Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections
Great thanks. I'll look at replacing the tie rods at the same time. Looks like Meyle supplies those as well. -

Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections
Given the harsh ride of my 2015 LR4, which I attribute to the poly bushings that were put in by the previous owner, I am planning on replacing the Lower Control Arms. I will do the work myself. I am hoping this will reduce the harsh ride when going over road imperfections. I looked at the... -

Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections
The bushings on the lower control arms are orange and I suspect are poly bushings, not factory originals. Are these bushings stiffer than the factory originals? -

Front Camera Problems Fixed - What a trip!
My recently acquired 2015 LR4 had some Electonic issues. First the Blind Spot Monitor didn't work. A replacement BSM module and some flashes resolved that. My next issues was the 2 front cameras were not working. The lenses were cracked so that was obvious "water ingress". What I failed to do... -

Blind Spot Monitor Successful Repair – A “Short Story” with a happy ending.
First let me say my journey trying to fix the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) was educational. I bought this 2015 LR4 with full disclosure that the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) did not work. Looking through history of repairs, the previous owner reported problems with the BSM in 2020. The cost to diagnose... -

Beware ye plastic sill covers!
I used POR 15 on my Canadian Jeep Wrangler which traversed much of northern Canada, the Yukon and Alaska. You brush off the rust with a wire brush, wipe it or blow it off with an air hose and apply 2 coats. I also used on my 1987 Defender and now applying it to my LR4. It's expensive paint. I... -

Assistance - Possible new 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE AWD HSE 4dr SUV
From my limited experience with my recently acquired 2015 LR4 and based on what I've read online, be ready to spend a lot of money on repairs. IMHO if you're not mechanically inclined, don't buy one of these. The electricals and electronics are poor quality. On most vehicles these days, those...- richord

Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections
I recently acquired my 2015 LR4 HSE Lux. When driving on most pavement, the ride is fine. If there is a small pothole or indentation in the road service, the ride is jarring. I thought with the air suspension it would absorb this. Driving my other cars, a 2024 Lexus GX550 and my 2024 Subaru... -

OBD Tools Experiences GAP IID, Icarsoft, BlueDriver
Thanks. I replaced a Blind Spot Module. The original module's serial number, model number and the VIN are recorded in the CCF codes. From what I observed, each time you start the vehicle, it looks at these codes and then reads the values from the replacement module. If they don't match it... -

OBD Tools Experiences GAP IID, Icarsoft, BlueDriver
I bought the GAP IID tool and the Icarsoft tool. I was disappointed that the GAP IID tool is limited to what I can do to modify the CCF parameters. I'm still looking into that limitation. The Icarsoft tool provides more detail about the modules in the vehicle such as the software version... -

What Did You Do To Your LR Today?
Replaced all the interior light bulbs, backup bulbs and rear fog bulbs with LED's. Light's up like a Christmas tree! Installed a dashcam. I want a video the next time I hit a deer so I can sue their family. Installed an iPad mini as my Waze display. I can also watch YouTube while driving (just... -

Blind Spot Monitor Not working
I bought this LR4 because I like the style. I find the newer Land Rovers to be "overweight" with too much "junk in the trunk". I had a 1987 Defender. That's a minimalist vehicle but classic. The other reason I bought it was that it was great mechanically and well maintained. But the... -

Blind Spot Monitor Not working
What JLR tools did you use? Seems odd that the Left door control module would affect this, but I do get similar error with the Icarsofttool. It shows SODR not fitted. My problem is is on the passenger side. On the driver’s side there are no errors but it also doesn’t work. The only other quirk... -

Blind Spot Monitor Not working
On my dash display, the option to turn off reverse traffic detection is not available. The text is dim. Also, the parking assist button on the console occasionally lights up then goes off immediately. I get the errors : Blind Spot Monitor and Reverse Traffic Detection not operating. I get no... -

Blind Spot Monitor Not working
So far what I discovered is that the passenger side mirror glass led's that are for the blind spot don't light up. I temporarily swapped the mirror glass from the driver's side, and it worked. I ordered a new glass for the passenger's side. From the owner's manual its states that when you... -

First Cosmetic Improvement - Engine Start Stop Button
The disassembly and reassembly was a bit delicate. I found this video: , that was very helpful especially where he suggest using a rubber band when reassembling. When disassembling you have to slowly pry it apart at each tab. Once you get one tab pulled away the others are easier. I used... -

Blind Spot Monitor Not working
The blind spot monitor on my recently acquired 2015 LR4 has appears to have failed back in 2020. I want to try and fix it. I suspect the sensor modules are defective. The is a yellow dot in the driver's mirror and nothing displayed in the passenger side mirror. I did some checking, and it... -

First Cosmetic Improvement - Engine Start Stop Button
I made my first cosmetic repair on my recently acquired LR4. The paint on the engine Start/Stop button was worn away. I bought an aftermarket cover, and it took about 10 minutes to disassemble the switch and install the new cover. I think this one improvement will increase the value by $$$! ;)... -

Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading
The rear cross over pipe was changed. My bad. I wasn't reading the dash temperature gauge properly! I have the Gap IID tool and looked at the live temperature and its fine. Still concerned about the smell of coolant. I suspect it might be burning off so there are no visible leaks. I'll... -

Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading
Thanks. The cross over pipes were changed in 2022. The coolant tank is full now. I'm concerned about the temperature gauge if it's reading that low. Will try to locate the sensor and use a infrared thermometer to see what it reads for comparison. Or look at the OBD if it shows temperature... -

Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading
I just purchased a 2015 LR4. After driving it and parking I can smell coolant. It is a faint smell and there are not leaks. The cross over pipes had been replaced by the previous owner. Is this smell normal. The engine temperature gauge displays a bar about 1/4 of the way up the bar. Is this...
