    Fuel injector seal

    The new Teflon seals have to be "sized" when installed. There's a tool for that procedure.

    Hi from San Francisco. Having error code and cannot pass smog.

    You're welcome. If the DTC won't clear, you have a hard fault. The transmission speed sensor is part of the valve body.

    Hi from San Francisco. Having error code and cannot pass smog.

    The DTC needs be cleared and a drive cycle performed. Until the drive cycle passes, the smog test will fail. https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/how-to-perform-a-basic-drive-cycle

    LR4 - Sunroof Drain Pain

    Do Not touch the battery cables together. That could fry circuit boards that have capacitors. On newer vehicles, definitely would affect the backup battery in the Telematics module. Pull the step plate at the right front door and inspect the wiring harness for breaks. The harness channel...

    130 Trophy or Trek?

    I participated in the Trek Challenge last year, at the https://experience.landroverusa.com/california/index.html Anyone that says the Defender is not a capable off roader, has NO clue. The Defender is a beast. There were ten challenges. Only one challenge was really extreme off roading. Lots...

    Spare Tire Cover - Keep it straight?

    Does your cover have the two lugs that line up with the spare tire lug nut holes?

    130 Trophy or Trek?

    You can get a 130 with the third row delete. It has a nice flat floor and a massive storage area under the cargo area. The Trek models were actually used in the Defender Trek competition. Ten days of serious off roading. Trophy models were modified by JLR in New Jersey. '23 and '25 differences...

    Replacing spare tire jack?

    With a flat tire, the clearance would be less too. You can always locate another jacking point. Maybe, the body mounting gussets?

    Pulsing while steering

    Dirty power steering fluid can cause the pulsating that you are feeling. You can change the fluid out yourself. With the engine off, remove as much fluid as you can. Fill reservoir, run engine for couple minutes. Repeat until the fluid is clear. Usually about 3 qts.

    HD package retrofit

    Sorry. With the JLR cyber attack, I'm not able to access the wiring diagrams at this time. I can use the year and model to access the schematics. Either way, the connector should be there.

    HD package retrofit

    The 48 pin connector is there. Since your vehicle didn't have the e-diff. the connector is blank. The e-diff connector would plug right in. I would need to have your VIN to verify exactly what you have.

    HD package retrofit

    On the left side of the vehicle, right behind the rear wheel (on top of the frame rail) . There's a 48 pin connector. On yours, the connector will be capped off. The rear diff harness plugs into this connector.

    HD package retrofit

    The temp sensor and lock actuator connectors will be part of the diff harness. Not pre wired.

    Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections

    Could be front lower control arm bushings. When they are worn, the arms can make contact with the frame.

    Assistance - Possible new 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE AWD HSE 4dr SUV

    The Discovery Sport is reliable. Most issues are due to lack of maintenance. Always do oil changes at 5k to 10k miles. Going 21k miles like JLR says, will cause the engine to sludge up. Maintenance costs will always be higher on European vehicles.

    LR4 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)

    Wouldn't hurt. JLR computers are still down, so the dealership won't be able to verify coverage at this time.

    LR4 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)

    The dealership would have to run your VIN and see if the part is covered. A diagnosis will have to be done by the dealership to ensure that is what's triggering the MIL. I could run the VIN for you. Unfortunately, JLR's system got hacked.
