    Battery - IID Tool Strangeness ?

    Probably resolved. Battery was likely discharged from sitting a long time and I did not re-charge properly, running the vehicle less than about 2 hours. See below... Although this is the 2015, I did find this in the manual for the 2013. "Do not rely on the generator to restore a discharged...

    Help needed!! More head scratching on battery/alternator/charging system... '06 LR3

    The system can put out high voltages if the battery cables and all connections are not tight. Check all connections and make sure all the grounds are good. From the manual for the 2013: "NOTE: Under no circumstances should the battery be disconnected with the engine running because under these...

    Lr4 detachable hitch receiver bent

    Maybe if we all contacted them to request that they become a vendor for all the internal hitch parts? [email protected]

    Rough Wipers

    I have heard of that as well. I do not "treat" my windows with Rainex, but I do use Rainex washer fluid and have used Rainex wipers before I transitioned to Bosch. I never had any problems and have always been very pleased with performance. Remember, never use Windex or anything like that on...

    Welcome! This group can help you with everything that can ever go wrong, or you can just take it to the shop - if you can find a good one. We have 3 of these beauties, a V8 and two V6. All three of us prefer the V8. The more you spend the more likely it will be that you can find a "clean"...

    Lr4 detachable hitch receiver bent

    I have the same issue. As far as I know this part is not sold separately. If you find a vendor please let us know! You can purchase other piece parts here (works the same as the receiver hitch):

    Current Tire Recommendations?

    Thanks Everyone - I really appreciate your personal experiences. As always this group is amazing! Those are an impressive set of videos - but it's an LR4 driven by mere mortals, not a Tesla being drifted around the track - so need to use a bit of salt with the results and understand that those...

    Current Tire Recommendations?

    Per Michelin the CrossClimate should do better in the snow, but there are several concerning reviews on the Michelin website that say they are not good in snow - but you never know exactly the bone that the reviewer is trying to pick...

    Current Tire Recommendations?

    Yes, I know.... Thanks! Anyway.... The 2016 needs new tires later this summer in preparation for a Rochester, NY winter. This is the daughters LR4 and if I am lucky I might get to drive it for 1 day with the new tires before I leave her at school in August. Meaning that it needs to be right...

    Crossover pipe work

    In addition to 16FujiDisco comments about children - which are true btw... The blue tab coolant line release on the passenger side (US) rear crossover is tight even with everything out. And the hardest bolt on the rear crossover is on the passenger side (US), as I seem to recall it was the...

    Crossover pipe work

    Anyone who says "no overlapping service" is lying to you and trying to rip you off. As per jlglr4, once you are in there for the front crossover, the rear is a minimal additional task. I do not see any way reasonably possible to do the rear without taking off the SC. I would move on and find...

    LR4 5.0L overheating at idle

    As I seem to recall, the IIDTool measures coolant temperatures at a couple of different locations. Any useful data there? So.. on my 2002 Nissan Maxima I have thoroughly diagnosed and I have what I am calling a "weak water pump" - factory original now at 212K miles. At less than 1,500 rpm there...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Doubtful that it's still under warranty and at that time I did not bother as I had bigger fish to fry. But I need to get to this project on the 2013 and then eventually on the 2015 and need another vendor for the torque wrench! Here is what I purchased, I see it's about half the price now vs...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Yes, thanks, but what about the actual torque wrench itself? The one I used was crazy expensive and was total junk, dead at the end of just this one little project.

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    What torque wrench did you use? I used a Summit brand torque wrench that directly fits those T40 bits and is small enough to get in there, but the gears in the head were absolute crap and the wrench lasted only through this one project. Any other ideas before I start this project on the...

    Battery - IID Tool Strangeness ?

    Thanks, I understand your logic and that is why I have an ECO/AUX battery on order. I will report back on whether or not that makes a difference. It would be nice if this was the fix. But there seems to be no definitive determination whether that is actually the way it works. Personally, we...

    Battery - IID Tool Strangeness ?

    This is for the 2015 LR4, 41K miles. I purchased this LR4 last October, 2022 and replaced the OEM ! battery last November with an H7. I did a battery reset with the IID Tool at that time. 2 weeks later the Aux battery dies - I have not replaced it - at least yet... (due to the below I have...

    2012 versus 2015 LR4

    Our stable is a 2013 (V8) and then a 2015 and 2016 both with the V6. All three of us, hands down, prefer the 2013 with the V8. I would never purchase without actually driving it and kicking the tires, but that's me... When I purchased the 2015 last fall I flew up to take a look at it, with the...

    LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?

    Nothing comparable in my opinion. Closest I can come, as an owner of a 1992 and a 2001 is an Isuzu Trooper. Not may of those around anymore, but there is one in the neighborhood I see at the grocery store every now and then.
