5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Depends on what components were different between SC and non-SC versions of the engine. If the SC version has all the same bottom end, it might be doable. If a bunch of parts or castings were upgraded, then it would probably be a bad idea to add the supercharger to the non-SC engine... :stickyman -
Intro! Firenze in HD
Thanks! I like the seat color of Arabica but the rest of it is too light. REALLY like the Landmark edition "Tan"... never seen it before. Bummer it seems to only be available on 2016 models, I'd prefer the V8. :driver: -
Intro! Firenze in HD
Living among dirt farms, we can't have dark paint. Black paint is not an option, period. But we need black interior, as it's nearly impossible to keep the cream-color interior clean. Which reminds me - what other interior colors were available on North American spec LR4, besides black and... -
Intro! Firenze in HD
... usually with the light-color tan/beige interior (not sure of the correct color name). Hard to find certain color combos. Totally love this one! -
Lower control arm replacements
Is that for 2 lower controls arms only, including parts and labor, I assume? $1400 is kinda high for lowers only. I just had them replaced at the dealer, $330 labor, $150 alignment, and I supplied OEM (Lemforder) LCA's for $400/pair. About $900 out the door. If your mechanic is charging full... -
rear wiper motor successfully fixed
It's fixed! Had to use the 54mm gear w/o metal piece, current Bross p/n BGE24FBA. The other gear that includes the metal piece is 53mm diameter, looks almost identical, but the shape/pitch of the teeth seemd slightly different. The 53mm gear may have worked, but I didn't try it. The Bross... -
Lower control arm replacements
OK. I've got 130k and it drives fine at all speeds. The clunk is intermittent and only noticeable at low speeds with fairly significant suspension movement, usually turning in/out of a parking lot across a dip for drainage. Been like that since we bought it with ~110k. -
Lower control arm replacements
Will do. Is there an easy (or, definite) test, or am I just looking for obvious play / wear? -
Lower control arm replacements
I have new Lemforder sitting around waiting for me to install them. I tried replacing the sway bar end links to cure the intermittent "clunk" noise up front, but there was zero change. The old ones had no detectable play. Figured it was a long shot but worth a try before the unpleasant LCA... -
2013 LR4 - Weird Humming Noise
The damper helps with strange vibrations at 2400-3000 RPM. The damper won't help with a kick/boom situation, which sounds like valvebody/shifting to me? :flybye: -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
That is a sweet drill! :D https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Drilling/Right-Angle-Drills/2807-20 https://www.homedepot.com/p/312427932 -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
LR of Merriam in Kansas sells the OE JLR filter for <$22, but with shipping you'd need to buy other stuff to make it worth it. https://www.landrovermerriamparts.com/oem-parts/land-rover-oil-filter-lr011279fp Same for LR Virginia Beach... -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
The AC Delco looks very similar to JLR, but not identical. I might use it eventually. I was more interested in finding an aftermarket filter when the JLR filter price was higher. The OE filters had been $30+ a few years ago, but now can be found for ~$22. The Delco is ~$16 on Amazon. Being the... -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
I've been sticking with the JLR filter. I bought the Delco for grins but it was not a repackaged OEM. I haven't used the Delco. Both are made in China. -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
The "OEM" tag shown at AutohausAZ is only an indicator of brand name, not COO. More aftermarket brands are changing suppliers/factories to different countries, so there is no guarantee the OEM part will be made in Europe. Some of the Genuine LR / JLR parts are made in China, for example the... -
rear wiper motor successfully fixed
Our LR4 rear wiper stuck at mid-wipe and made the awful clicking noise as heard around 1:07 in the video linked below. Found this excellent post by @cj60, took my wiper motor apart and have the same damaged plastic gear. However, I also noticed the wiper shaft was extremely difficult to move by... -
H7 LED or Halogen Fog Light Bulb Recommendations
That's a great point - hadn't thought of the snow/ice issue. I'll have to look into higher-output halogens for the fogs next! Ryan, thanks for the reminder, I will buy another pair of the H9's to leave in the glove compartment! At least until I spring for the HID's. :2in1: -
H7 LED or Halogen Fog Light Bulb Recommendations
The stock low beam bulbs both died and I finally did the H9 upgrade. I bought the Hella H9 "+100" bulbs from Amazon at the link below. I didn't have a Dremel handy to grind off the smaller of the two plastic tabs as shown in the video posted earlier in this thread. Fortunately, the knife blade... -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
I always wondered how much difference there was between the SCV6 and the previous V8. Sounds like the 6 is noticeably wimpier despite the blower, although the 'tune' may help offset the difference. Our 2010 is fine most of the time but it sure would have been nice if LR had offered the SCV8... -
2013 LR4 - Weird Humming Noise
I added the damper to my 2010 LR4 in summer 2020. Tapping the M10x1.5 hole did not go as smoothly as it should have, but the bolt torqued to spec, and otherwise worked fine. Adding the damper reduced the weird RPM-specific vibration by 80-90%. -
Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY
My speculation is that if the computers think a larger, higher-capacity battery is installed (H8)... it may possibly have the alternator "shut off" for longer periods to save 0.00425 mpg, give or take. I hate the charging system, and to date nobody has figured out how to bypass the fuel-sipping... -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
I do the same thing. Don't forget to add shipping costs, which can be a deciding factor. Be careful with aftermarket vendors like Atlanting British, make sure they are showing a Genuine Land Rover part when comparing prices. If the price seems too good to be true, it always is. Merriam, Tampa... -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Land Rover Tampa website died late 2021. I don't know if it moved, or if they are no longer selling online. I haven't called to ask. This link used to work but now is DOA: https://parts.landrovertampa.net/Land-Rover-LR4-Right-Lower-cntrl-arm-p/lr073367-110149.html I've been using Merriam or... -

Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY
The battery cover will fit with the H8, keep trying, and figure out what is interfering. The unplugged connector is normal, you can ignore it.
