    HD vs non-HD package LR4

    Thanks! I tried it with the 2013 and I get the entire list. Because I am working on the 2013 right now, I have what I need. Rear Axle Differential - Rear Axle Open Diff [027CB] If anyone finds a VIN decoder for 2014-2016, it would be most appreciated. Yes, I know I can crawl underneath and...

    HD vs non-HD package LR4

    When I use vindecoderz all I get is general information, I am not seeing any detail - in particular the rear differential. Is there something I am missing? This is all I am getting: Build Sheet Brand LAND ROVER Name LR4/Discovery 4 (GCAT) 2010- Vin_year 2015 Drive LHD Transmission...

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I use Bosch in the front - make sure you have an A/B pair. And I use Rainex in the back - and I use a 1" longer blade than originally equipped.

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    Please pardon if you already know this, but for those that may find this thread in the future... See video below. Watch from 53:50 to 57:00. Note exactly where that the thicker bit on the semi circle on the oil cooler tube engages in the block,there is a small "channel" in the block and the...

    Advice needed, stalling with P2279 (intake air system leak) 2012 LR4 HSE 5.0 138,xxx miles

    I can't say anything definitive, but feels like a fuel issue. My Austin Marina had a factory bad gas tank and the inner paint lining flaked off, plugging the in-line fuel filter. Was much the same kind of behaviour as you are describing. On the Marina, I got a fuel filter that could be taken...

    Is this a failing crossover pipe?

    At ALL times need to use coolant that is OAT compatible. OAT = Organic Acid Technology In an emergency I would use Prestone products. I always use Rover fluids exclusively. I know some will disagree, but I fail to see how saving pennies on other vendor products is cost effective - these things...

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    I did not re-read the entire string, perhaps this is mentioned. Did you do the water pump?? If so, are you aware that the original water pump in the 2013 and the water pump you will be purchasing now are different? And because of that difference, you ALSO need to replace the oil cooler tube -...

    Where to get genuine crossover pipe for LR4?

    I have a used one, old style, 60K miles, from the 2016, removed in 2022, looks perfect, would highly suggest new o-rings. No guarantees , but happy to send it to you for the cost of a USPS box.

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    As I discuss in the video, blah, blah, don't mean to lecture - really... And not to start a knock down drag out kerfuffle... The folks at Superchargers on Line are absolutely great at helping you to determine the correct fill amount for your unit. Per my discussions with them, after providing...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    The coupling is likely wearing and would need to be replaced. On that video, go to 1:01:00 and watch the next little bit for the diagnostic. The supercharger section is at 1:43:20 My supercharger contains 90mL, that's about 3 oz. You used 16oz of oil in the supercharger??? We all know that...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Those clips are LR011221, about $2 each at Rover. As long as you are in there replace the PCV valves and rebuild the supercharger. Here is the video I made, I hope it's useful. If anyone wants, I also have a video for the V8.

    Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons

    Skipping the backstory, but finally programming the garage door opener buttons on Red Rover that I picked up about a year ago. Followed the directions, multiple times. Rover responds and everything looks like it should work But Garage door opener does not respond... Garage door opener ok...

    Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!

    Well, if you are up for a long distance drive to get this done. I have had excellent service from the Rover dealership in Rochester NY. It can be hard to get into their schedule, but they are reliable. I am in Houston, don't even slow down here. 4 dealerships, 3 won't answer the phone and I...

    Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!

    Working in a parking lot is never fun - cudo's for making that work! But since when are new tools a deterrent ?? New tools are one of the great joys !!

    Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!

    When I did the crossover pipes, I was amazed at how much grit and dirt accumulated on the engine, even way down "inside" around the oil cooler. Both on the V8 and the V6. It's absolutely amazing. I performed no fewer than 4 separate vacuum cleanups along the way in that project - no way any...

    Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!

    Did you personally do the rear crossover with your own hands? If so then you certainly can do all the other plumbing bits yourself as well. (And you could have done the control arms yourself as well - it's not terribly hard.) I have not done the timing chain, but my sense from this group is...

    2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay

    Never chase a vendor - never. If they want the work they will contact you with a legitimate bid. Not that I ever plan to do it myself, :eek:,and just asking... But it seems to me that once one could handle the weight and physical reality of hoisting an engine that most of us on this group could...

    What jack do you recommend to store in your trunk?

    I have the OEM jack of course, but the jack I would actually use is a 2 ton bottle jack. It stores very nicely in it's plastic case in the little side chambers in the way back. Here is a video I put together with some jacking tips and tricks. Hope it's useful.

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    But in the end, over tight lug nuts are not the fault of the vehicle, they are the fault of some ***** with an air gun. The days of "professional" mechanics knowing more than ourselves are long over, and it was probably never that way to start with... That's why we here on this group do as much...

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    That happened on our 1992 Isuzu Trooper. I could not get them off even with an impact wrench. Dealership claimed that they were overtightened during manufacture - who knows. Ever since then, after any time anyone touches the lugs, I take them all off and properly re-install to the correct...

    Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?

    Per above, the backer nut on the sliders is thin, I use a 6" crescent wrench, it j u s t fits. And that 21mm 12 point. I know I drive everyone nuts, but here is the video I put together on this. The information you will find here is typical of any brake job, but I have all the torques, AND a...

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    Not to discourage, but please see my comments above about EuroAmp.
