    Removing air suspension compressor

    Here is my take on that project. That 3rd bolt is not too bad, just need the correct tools.

    Ride height sensors

    That's a project I have never done, but experience tells us that OEM is the way to go, pretty much always on everything. I would go with OEM on those.

    2012 LR4 continued charging issues

    Sorry, I did not read the entire thread, only reacting to the first post. Something somewhere is not firmly connected. In my limited experience on this topic, my first reaction is that 22Amps means that a battery terminal is loose - I am sure by now that has been eliminated. I assume you have...

    LR4 possible alternator issue

    My 2013 came with an AGM, I would think that the 2012 was also OEM AGM. You are in deeper than my knowledge, but I do know that loose battery terminal connections cause cause strange things. I note that the AGM replacement that I use from Auto Zone has tapered terminals and I have had fully...

    Coolant pipe replacement every 5 years on V8?

    On the V8, my issue was the gasket/o-ring on the oil cooler pipe, it shrank and the tolerances no longer worked - that issue has been solved with the re-design and should be much more robust. That re-design encompasses the oil cooler pipe and water pump and the gasket that makes that seal. If...

    Coolant Issue driving me crazy

    There are folks who claim they they can replace the rear crossover without removing the SC. After having done that job I find those claims to be extremely questionable, and I doubt that they even tried to properly torque the bolts into place. If you need a cure for insomnia, here is my video on...

    Rear fog lamps

    I have found that OEM bulbs, while crazy expensive, last a very long time and anything I purchase at the autoparts stores burns out very quickly. Just my experience...

    Oil overfill

    If your overfill alarm is going on and off, I would not worry about it. Note that the electronic oil level does require the vehicle to be perfectly level. I have found that even an inch of pitch from front to back can sometimes trigger the overfilled notice. This is an easy and relatively mess...

    parasitic drain?

    6 weeks should be no problem, I have repeatedly on several LR4's left them for 3 months with no issues. It's been a while since I made this video, but I do have a drain current table in there at 19:24. LR4 should be <20mA. All I can really offer is the standard advice, Turn everything off by...

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    Clips must have changed at Atlantic British since I ordered mine, which were very nice, sorry for the old information.

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    There are a few videos out of Australia that say just to get on them and yank them off - I would not recommend as you don't want to bend them in any way. The tool makes removal very easy. My splines were fine, but all 3 of mine are in no-salt conditions. You might want to use a bit of copper...

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    Wow! I actually found my remaining partial roll in the garage! Copy and paste this into Amazon. ZXMT PROMOTOR Butyl Sealant Tape 2PCS Sealants Butyl Rubber Tape for Installing Car Part, Windows, Doors and Windshield or Other Looks like lots of options to choose from. Here is the wiper arm...

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    Agreed, if it's not the sunroof drains then it's the cowl. Take a close look at where the rubber cowl seal meets the windshield pretty much directly in front of the passenger seat, it's a virtual certainty that the rubber is not touching the glass. At that exact location underneath, the air...

    How important is this foam? (LR4 spark plug change woes)

    I removed mine when doing the crossover pipe project, but it went back in just fine. I don't think it has much purpose other than vibration and sound reduction. Maybe just cut back the bits that are hanging up?

    Windscreen Vendors ?

    I purchased my clips from Atlantic British, they are nicer than OEM because (at least then) , they came with little rubber washers. No paint scratching and a bit of cushioning. Sorry, I don;t have the part number,

    Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY

    Yes, you can put in an H8 without the GAP tool. Everything will appear to function as normal. There are several sources that state that not telling the system that it's an H8 will result in charging issues and alternator issues. I cannot speak to that, that is way beyond my knowledge. But I...

    URGENT HELP

    Not sure I actually can picture your exact question. Here is the project on my 2013, not exactly the same, but close. Might be useful.

    Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading

    My experience is in the video at the time stamp above - but that's just me... V8 are one way and V6 are the other way - at least to the best of my knowledge. BUT, as I always like to say, every vehicle is an individual because it is built with whatever was laying around on the shop floor that...

    Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading

    So there are right handed and left handed spins on the fans??

    Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading

    I discuss that in the video above. Sorry, I don't recall from memory.

    cross over pipe questions

    At 60K you are at high risk. I see you are on a 2013. Review this, it's not a bad job to do yourself.

    Driving in access mode on the highway

    I recall that you can reprogram your "standard" height as part of the height calibration. Its in the IID Tool.

    Standard 2 ton bottle jack. I use a small piece of thick rubber to make sure I don't scratch the paint. I store it in the top side compartment in the way back Those are not Rover approved lift points and I only use them when out of the garage. For in garage I use a floor jack and lift and...

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    I carry a bottle jack. Not Rover approved, but you can lift on the control arms in those little dimples.
