Low Coolant Light
My LR4 began displaying a low coolant light recently. I added about 1/2 a cup of coolant and it has been fine for a few weeks. Well, today the light popped up after an hour of driving. I popped the hood and low & behold the coolant was low. I slowly released pressure in the overflow... -

New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0
Forgot to post the front air strut swap and distribution block rebuild. Completed both of those in August. Suncore struts (rebuilt OEM) and Amazon o ring kit for valve block. Strut job only took 1.5 hours per side. SUPER EZ -
New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0
Old front hubs were toast so I spent a few hours yesterday swapping them for new units with NTN bearings. Not a bad job, only took 2.5 hours per side. I will say for anyone who comes across this post and is contemplating paying a shop: DIY! No special tools are needed besides the 21mm... -

Appreciate the response… back to drawing board. -
ARB Dual Compressor - EAS Hack?
In years past I’ve run the ARB dual air compressor and it’s handled air locker & tire duties among other things without breaking a sweat. Anyone explored the prospect of fitting one in place of the LR compressor and running the EAS with it? -
LR4 market question
I owned a 1992 Landcruiser that I restored. It was abused and left for farm duty so I purchased for $3,000 and spent a couple of years fixing everything from an engine rebuild to window motors that had failed. I sold that thing for $15,000 in 2017. They’re now going for $25-30,000 in that... -

Roof rail installation trouble
Ran into similar issues, not sure why these jobs are SUCH a PITA as they should be a quick remove / replace. But hey, LR life ♂️ Anyway for those of you who tackle this in the future go ahead and order some of these upfront and save yourself a massive headache and possible cracked pano-panel. -
Guidance for dual battery install
Creating the wiring is easy, I’ll share what I used on my FJ80. My question: on a 5.0 powered LR4 where do you put the aux battery? It’s tight in there! -

New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0
Posting pics to document the build that’ll be delayed due to the engine expense. Anyway, carrying on I’ve replaced the front air struts. That was rather easy. -
New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0
Well apparently someone cut some corners. I was lied to about the following: completely disassembled, balanced crank, new pistons & rods, machined block And Because of that, it would build internal pressure and eventually boil the coolant. Happened 3 times so I finally broke down and swapped... -

Screeching during low speed turns
Wheel spins free but squeaks on turns (mainly left) and slow speed. Passed bearing test, haven’t adjusted PB or removed caliper yet. Plan to disassemble, clean & lube everything this weekend. -

Screeching during low speed turns
Hello, My 2012 LR4 US Spec has begun making an intermittent squeal during hard left turns. The squeal is coming from the right rear. I’m thinking it may be a sticking caliper because I jacked up the Rover thinking it was a wheel bearing but the hub doesn’t move at all. I did find the...
