    Control Knobs

    are these rubber or plastic. the rubber dissolved years ago on mine so I took all the rubber off but I kinda miss the rubber feel on mine.

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    I agree, the cowl I ordered is genuine rover from FCP, i just screwed up on the A-pillar clips. You live and you learn, always buy OE or Genuine!

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    just did the job this past friday, pretty straight forward, pulled the wipers off by renting a tie rod puller from oreilly's and they came off pretty easily (california car up until recently). then pull the -pillar trim off, remove the top of the battery and braking system compartment covers so...

    Where does this line connect?

    that coolant hose is supposed to go to the throttle body. the fitting is located directly under the throttle body, when i did a valve decarb I found the easiest way to connect that is to unbolt the throttle body from the manifold, connect it, then bolt it back up to the intake manifold.

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    Is it a huge pain to get these wiper arms off?

    Water on passengerside floor board (not sunroof drains)

    Hey all, got some very heavy rain yesterday. Opened the passenger side door up to a puddle of water on the floor and immediately realized that I didn’t drive yesterday in the rain. Opened up behind the glove compartment to find that it seemed like it came from the AC air intake and was coming...

    Lift Question

    When I got my wheels and tired originally I recalibrated the whole air suspension system and either put it half and inch or a full inch higher all the way around to make the ride height match the look of the bigger tires. I think it sits at a perfect height now, just a little higher than factory...

    high pitched noise - Posting new thread due to other being moderated

    I have the 5.0L. When I replaced mine they looked perfectly fine but the noise stopped when I replaced them. Wouldn’t know anything about the bypass valve for the supercharger though. I would start simple and build from there. I think PCV should be your prime suspect, I had the same thing and...

    high pitched noise - Posting new thread due to other being moderated

    There should be vacuum through the oil cap when you remove the cap while the engine is running. I would replace the whole assembly.

    Are these air struts bad?

    this is overkill. I have 157k on the original rear airstruts right now. If it ain’t broke don’t fix

    Here’s what mine sounded like.

    high pitched noise - Posting new thread due to other being moderated

    This is the exact sound my LR4 made when the PCV went bad. I’ll drop a YouTube video of it. Go plug the little pinhole on your PCV valve and see if the car starts freaking out and running weirdly and making a whining noise.

    Showoff Your LR4

    https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/dtc-p026a-intercooler-outlet-temp-aux-pump-velocity-ap.45073/ Might help out with the charge cooler code. Seems like the symptoms are pretty similar.

    Loud wailing noise when hot after injector swap

    Where do you hear the whine? If it’s on the passenger side toward the back of the engine it could be PCV valves. When my PCV valves went bad it would make a squeaking noise right after I shut it off. Take a video of the noise.

    oil leak onto exhaust manifold

    Your correct. I need to change mine and have all the parts for it. Only thing holding me back is the fear of breaking an injector while pulling them. If you mess it up the head has to come off… @powershift is correct too, engine bay is pretty narrow and I’m sure some of those valve cover bolts...

    Stalling

    mine runs 416 and above at idle. it can be higher if its above 87 degrees and the car idles high at 1000-1100 RPM to boost the compressor and the viscus fan. Might have a bad fuel pump, low pressure pump can cause the high pressure pumps to run low PSI. Do you have the SCV6 or the 5.0L

    Resolving door squeaks?

    the mercedes sunroof grease is the Legit Street Cars special. Great car content if you haven't watched him before.

    Lr4 coolant bleed valve screw

    LR055301 if you are using the 3.0L SCV6 I believe this should be it. Ill link the FCP Euro image of it below, just make sure it looks the same. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/land-rover-engine-coolant-bleeder-screw-genuine-land-rover-lr055301#fitment

    Paint Cost

    Agreed, the plastics are a pain. Mine has a bit of haze over the top of the fender flares. It has a bit on the top of the rear bumper but my detailer did a great job of making it better. It has some cracking on the roof unfortunately and despite the ceramic coating and one wash a week it still...

    Paint Cost

    reading this gives me PTSD of those noises. was wheeling with a friend at night a couple of years ago and he took a wrong turn on a trail that was closed. the trail was completely washed out and overgrown. By the time it got super over grown we had passed the point of no return, the trail was so...

    Paint Cost

    paint on these cars is rough. I care a lot about my paint and I have to remind myself that this car is 15 years old to get myself to stop obsessing sometimes. I lost my garage space when I moved so for the past 6 months I've had to park the LR4 outside. at the beginning of this whole experience...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    agreed, I think we talked about this a couple of years ago in a different thread but I've got a 400 watt JL ACP110LG-TW1 paired with the old factory 480w Logic7 system and i have the input level on the sub cranked to the minimum and even the factory amp sub level turned down to 3 from minimum...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    I do 5k oil intervals. Pulled out about a liter less on this oil change, around 7.5 liters at 154k. My car leaks it, doesn’t burn it. My rear main and upper timing cover and valve covers leak. I’ve been lazy abt the upper timing cover because if I have to pull the valve covers then I might as...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    My money is on rods. Seems like most of the damage remains in the combustion chambers and usually doesn’t leave the block from the the chain horror stories I’ve heard. Additionally I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the bottom of the block opening up from a timing issue. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t...
