LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Yes, I used the GAP tool and an assistant to call out temperatures. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I would some 3000 grit Emory cloth. Lube Locker gasket is awesome and will be highly forgiving of surface imperfections. -
Multiple repairs on a 70K miles 2013 LR4: what can I expect next
Can't ever say exactly what, but the when is very easy.. Wait, just heard something in the garage... Ah, yes, it was the call of the LR4. Fix me Seymour, Fix me... -
2013 LR4 headlight lenses on eBay
I keep mine heavily waxed with an old fashioned paste wax. Restoring kits are a waste of time and money. So far pretty good, but scratches still happen over time. For a temporary fix, or if you want to add another weekly chore - WD40. -
A/C - Expansion Valve?
Well, hope or false hope? Started her up this afternoon and A/C working just fine front and rear. We shall see what tomorrow brings.... -
A/C - Expansion Valve?
Thanks, ugmw177, I have seen that photo, but without taking the lower dash apart I cannot confirm. I am looking through the mechanics manual and I see 2 expansion valves, one in the front and one in the rear. Seems to me that as both zones are blowing hot, that simultaneous failure of both... -
A/C - Expansion Valve?
2013, V8, LR4, 92K miles. She has been in storage in my garage since 2020, run and moved a bit over the years, everything is fine. except very, very little to no A/C. In hindsight, I did not run the A/C during that time. The local independent took out 640g (or thereabouts) and recharged with... -
2015 Coolant leak, not cross overs
I rely on Palm Beach Rover for my parts. They are wizards at finding part numbers and getting what I need. Well worth the slightly higher cost. -
2015 Coolant leak, not cross overs
Always and forever, OEM parts only, with very few exceptions - one being possibly being that little elbow. I did not change belts at 50K, they looked like brand new, maybe I should have ? I did not change tensioners either. -
Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !
My grandfather always too her out on a back road and opened her up. Nothing quite like the feeling of that short delay followed by that 4 barrel kicking in ! When I did the 2016 a couple years ago it wasn't that bad, I was just wondering if it's really a big deal or if it's just some folks want... -
Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !
Thanks everyone! A you-might-as-well that comes to mind. What about cleaning the intake valves? Would need to be accomplished through the intakes, I am not taking it any farther apart than necessary. I may be able to do the crossovers - but at the end of the day I am only a reasonably capable... -
Another Front Crossover - Right on Schedule !
Questions at the end.... 47,490 miles, 2015. It's been smelling suspicious for a few weeks. This morning, Low Coolant Alarm. And a small puddle of coolant on the garage floor - feels and tastes like coolant. And I can see that tell tale bit of yellow coolant (under UV) when looking way down... -
2015 Coolant leak, not cross overs
If they replaced the water pump in 2021, then it's the new Rover pump and design - unlikely that is the source. Dripping quite a bit you say... Don't drive it at all we all say.... -
2015 Coolant leak, not cross overs
Yes! Replace all plastic bits every 40-50K ! I have no personal experience with the Aluminium replacements. With a leak as shown, I would not be driving that anywhere! Many locations for a leak "on the front of the engine" My 2013 was at the oil cooler tube - if you have a factory original... -

Electrical issue/starting
That wire you are showing is used only in initial shipping from the factory. It connects to a battery disconnect relay that is installed at the factory and removed at the dealers. Make sure that cap is secure, it can sometimes come off. There is a pyrotechnic coupling at the battery that... -
Beware of this little piece
It's easy to not totally snap it in place but think it's ok. Snap is on and then rotate back and forth to check. -
Any DIY tips out there on replacing a 2016 LR4 SCV6 Thermostat Housing?
The part numbers for Christmas tree zip ties are in the video - you probably caught a nap in that bit! I make videos so I never need to figure it out again - I hope to keep these vehicles until I do my final check out. I'm glad you find it useful! -

Parasitic drain / Battery Monitoring
When ordering a new Exide 151, order it directly from the UK. even after shipping it will be considerably less expensive that getting one at a dealer. I have been very pleased with Groves Batteries Ltd. Cheltenham. When re-installing, note that factory OEM has a battery blanket that you most... -
2014 Land Rover LR4, suspension faults after compressor and valve block work
I had a software/hardware mismatch - seems to be a from the factory issue. When i put in a new compressor it was AMK and I updated software to AMK. -
2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?
Yes, the OEM rear bushings on the lower front control arms are fluid filled. It's a oil like substance, I didn't really take the time to look at it, I just cleaned it up. I show the oil dripping out in the video. Those poly bushing folks are quire loud and insistent in their opinions, I wonder... -
2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?
You can do lower control arms yourself, parts are relatively inexpensive, but it is the one project that always bonks me on the head. But, yes, always an alignment afterwards. -
2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?
Yes on the lower control arms. Mine all needed replacing at about 60K. I have never had luck pressing bearings so no way I will try to press those bushings, I went with OEM entire control arm assemblies. You should have done this when you did the crossover pipes, but you absolutely need to...
