    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Following up and reporting back on my various concerns above. Spoke to Nat at Eriksson, He is well aware of our plastic to steel conversions... He advises that the transmission case is, as we expect, the same in all instances and just comes with different pans for different applications. And...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Brilliant! - but wait .... Unfortunately those are the bolts for the plastic pan - 28.5mm The bolts for the steel pan are 22.5 mm. BUT, I finally did find those bolts ! Eriksson Industries https://zftranspart.mypinnaclecart.com/index.php?p=product&id=13 Product ID : 0736 010 347 Speak to...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    The Pan Kit as supplied by any of our standard vendors is actually a Kit from ZF - well mostly... I purchased from our standard vendor and they did not even bother to remove the ZF label from the box, so this is a proven fact. The kit as we purchase it contains pan, filter, gasket and bolts...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    I had an idea about 2AM last night - who can sleep when there are Rover questions ! If the two fill ports are at the same level then isn't it a moot point? Because it it's filled to the proper level what difference does it make if the reservoir is 2L or 2000L, as long as it's not "too small" an...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    As we know and per the ZF Factory Service Guide: Our LR4's come with the ZF6HP28 with the plastic pan. From the ZF Spare Parts Catalog: The ZF6HP28 and ZF6HP26 use exactly all the same parts. From the ZF6HP26 factory service guide, the 26 comes with a plastic Type A or a steel Type B pan. The...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Yes, I have many more pages from ZF than I ever thought I needed, much less wanted. But not finding anything on ZF about which fill port to use when making the plastic to steel change. Looks like I will need to contact them directly - if I learn anything of course I will report back here, and...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    I was hoping to nail it all down before I opened it up, but we shall see... On the bolts, that's easy once the pan is off. And on the pan internal volume, that's also easy when I have them both in hand - fill one with water and see how that amount fills the other one. Being sure to dry the new...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Let's kick this can one more time. And this is because lately my experience with Atlantic British has been poor at best, and I no longer trust their information. 1. Proven - the proper bolts/screws for the steel pan are ZF 0736 010 347...

    Control arm fail

    That had to have been a manufacturing defect. Really hard to rationalize that failure even from a cheap after market vendor. OEM or not at all.

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    That little plastic piece is available in 2 ways that I know of. 1. In plastic from Rover, but you need to purchase that entire assembly, you cannot just purchase the plastic bit 2. In brass, there is another string on this website discussing. Not sure where to actually get one.

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    I second that, and I only use OEM fluids as well. I cannot understand the need to save a couple of $ on alternate vendors.

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    Reviews on Amazon and etc. are pretty much garbage. (But I still do look at them...) Even I can now recognize fake 1 star reviews. But, there are folks out there in YouTube land that make amazing side by side, detailed, data driven comparisons of all kinds of products. I would recommend...

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    As above, OEM coolant is UV active, no need for adding anything. Plenty of locations to examine, take your pick. Time to get dirty!

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Good Morning! On the 6 speed transmission, 6HP28 on the 2013 V8. i found an interesting set of websites. They take me down a rabbit hole of "you really should", but I hear my grandfathers voice in my head "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Looking for your opinions on dropping the mechatronic...

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I change out to new wipers on my daughters LR4 - because it's not local to me - once a year. The other two LR4's get new wipers at every 2 years, or whenever I remember, and I re-use the ones from my daughters truck that are only a year old.

    Seeking Specialty Torque Wrench

    I thought you knew me better than that... LOL !! That's how I grew up, best judgement, but I would be embarrassed to relate my success rate with valve covers - never got those right, on any number of vehicles, and back then I didn't have any funds for anything as fancy as a torque wrench. I...

    Seeking Specialty Torque Wrench

    That topeak one looks so suspiciously like the one that died on me.... I found a Prestcycle torque wrench, and I know Prestacycle is a good quality vendor, but you have to be able to see the display - no click function... I used a Prestacycle TorqKey on the crossover project on the 2016, only...

    Seeking Specialty Torque Wrench

    I am slowly getting ready to do the transmission pan on the 2015 and I know from my experience on the 2016 that this is the perfect tool for torquing the bolts, because it's small enough to get in there. BUT, the torque wrench I purchased was crazy expensive and the gears in the head lasted...

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I looked at a set of Bosch Icon wipers I have in the garage. There are NO markings on the wipers themselves. At least that I can see. So do them one at a time!!
