    Any good aftermarket valve covers?

    Did you end up going the RTV route or find another route other than OEM. I’ve got about 30k miles on a new seal, where I believe I did everything right. Noticed it was weeping around 10k in, retorqued and hoped. Now I’m smelling that it’s dripping on the manifold. I had a rough time with the...

    This is great to know, I was finding mixed opinions and didn’t want to risk it.

    2013 AC not cold - Refrigerant pressure good - Not intermittant

    I took over the LR4 as my daily and leaned quickly it’s a blend door issue, still have not resolved but had to leave heat on high all the time if I wanted guaranteed heat this winter. Now that I'm using it daily I can hear the doors getting unstuck and notice how inconsistent it use side to...

    Front drivetrain slop/slack and vibration

    I’m trying to track down the source of what I perceive to be drivetrain slop or slack and a slight vibration in the front. 2013 LR4 152k miles Every once in a while if I accelerate from a stop I feel a mild clunk and it feels like the drivetrain catching up the rotation of the wheels to me, on...

    2014 Land Rover LR4 SCV6 Hesitation/Shutter While Accelerating

    I had the exact same condition and I validated it was the transmission. Long term I’ll be doing a fluid flush and a zip kit, trying to avoid a rebuild, As an FYI here’s how I validated and “fixed” it in the meantime...

    Driveline Vibration

    Driveline installed, it was time consuming but easy. I struggled getting the crossmember loose. I replaced both drivelines and it turns out what I’m feeling is the transmission, likely the torque converter. I did a bunch of research here and have long term plans but just posted this...

    Lube Guard Instant Shudder fix - works….RPM fluctuation and trans shudder gone

    First thing is I know this is not a long term fix, I just need a few months until I can flush fluids, install new filter and a zip kit, but….. LR4 146k miles on original fluids. Standard 2k rpm fluctuation and a shudder in the transmission on slow acceleration up to about 40mph. I just used...

    Driveline Vibration

    Thanks for the response, I sat on this for a long time. I’m in the same position, I have the front shaft and need to get it installed. I’m struggling to find any write ups on doing the front shaft. Lots on the rear and many YouTube videos of people calling a CV Axle a drive shaft. If you did...

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    Thanks to your thread here I am going to bite the bullet and do this job. I have a question concerning a system flush. I have been lurking around another post that details how to fully evacuate the entire system and replace with new fluid. I am thinking that I should do that process first in...

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    I have read on another post...potentially another forum, that somebody did this job and just drove the car and that after a few days everything was kosher, without IID Adaptations. Can anyone confirm or deny that? I'll see about getting an appointment with my indie shop either way but they are...

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    Thank you immensely for this additional detail. I have all the parts ordered and to be honest am a bit frightened of this job. This information gave me a little more confidence to do this.

    2013 AC not cold - Refrigerant pressure good - Not intermittant

    Definitely did not consider the cooling system's impact on AC. Based on what I know about how to test the fan clutch everything is good with the fan. I have replaced it in the past, maybe 40k miles ago. I had read elsewhere that the engine running hot can actually cause the ECU to scale...

    2013 AC not cold - Refrigerant pressure good - Not intermittant

    I ended up locating the drivers side drain and treated it. No real improvement. I did notice however that the driver side front vents are a little colder than the passenger. In fact the passengers side blew warm for a few minutes then slowly caught up. I don’t know if that is the result of...

    2013 AC not cold - Refrigerant pressure good - Not intermittant

    Looking to solve why my wife's 2013 LR4 does not blow as cold as it used to, its 104 today and it can barely keep. First thing I did was check the refrigerant pressure and that was good up. I read some posts here and elsewhere about intermittent issues caused by faulty a faulty valve but they...

    What kind of leak is this?

    I am very curious about this myself. I have done the front crossover, rear crossover, water pump multiple times and never knew there was a bleed screw. I would button the car back up, remove the small plug on the front crossover pipe and fill. I would then fill the reservoir and run the...

    What kind of leak is this?

    Those holes are for plastic press-in fittings that hold electrical wires in place. You will pop them out of the old pipe and press them into the new.

    E on dash and LR3 wont start all Errors flash up

    I can second the notion that the only time I saw the LR4 warning light up like a Christmas tree was the alternator.

    LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...

    I have put 90k miles on my 2013 and no matter what rotors or pads I ran or what I did the brakes squeaked. It drove my wife nuts. The only way I got it to stop, and has worked every time since is using CRC Disc Brake Quiet on the back of the pads. I remembered my Dad using it when I was s kid...

    What kind of leak is this?

    My experience with my front pipe was that it seemed to leak intermittently and was nearly impossible to trace. I am also pretty sure that my rear was weeping when hot and drying up. That crusty pink evidence was all over but it was not wet. I would be very curious about others experiences...

    Help! LR4 Stuck Deep in the Woods

    I had a scenario that started with intermittent misfires that ended up eventually throwing codes that lead me to the fuel system and one of the High Pressure Fuel Pumps was the issue. I have also read that the Crank Position Sensor can cause intermittent and hard to trace misfires. Good Luck

    Does my engine sound normal?

    I have never heard it first hand but it sounds similar to other videos people have posted as being the timing chain. Here is one: . I have not had to face this one yet but I did read somewhere at some point that you can see one timing chain from the oil filler and that its somewhat...

    What kind of leak is this?

    I just recently did the rear crossover pipe on my 2013. It was more of exercise in patience than difficulty. Access is limited and its not a natural position to work in. There are a lot of great writeups and videos on the procedure. The only part that was difficult was getting the torx bolts...

    Cloud of Smoke

    I did this yesterday on my 2013 and with the front raised I lost nearly all of my oil. I ended up doing an unplanned oil change. Based on what I read I expected a little bit of oil and I got a lot!

    Driveline Vibration

    I am chasing down a driveline vibration that has been present for about a year now. Local dealer suggested it was caused by the carrier bearing on the rear driveline causing the vibration. I just completed replacing the rear drive shaft and the vibration persists. I had it in one other time...

    Driveline Vibration

    Did you ever get this resolved? I have something very similar. Vibration on acceleration, especially when slowly accelerating up hills. I will have to look for the damper as described on this thread. I just yesterday replaced the rear drive shaft and that did not resolve and recently...
