LR4 Tailgate not opening
I should add that when the new switch did not work, I took it off. Thinking the switch just creates continuity between two wires, I then touched the stripped end of the two liftgate wires together (the ones that used to go to the old switch) to see if it did anything. And no, it did not. I... -
LR4 Tailgate not opening
Got the new switch today. Ordered the one I linked above. There isn't a matching connector inside the rear liftgate so you are required to cut and splice. And after all that, it does not work. No idea what's going on. It's the correct, official Land Rover switch. The rear liftgate still... -
LR4 Front coolant outlet tube BS
Yeah, the symptoms they saw after the coolant outlet tube install jive with air in the cooling system. The LR4's cooling system can be a bear to bleed without a vacuum bleeder. If they did it the old fashioned way, they may have missed a bleed port and left some air in the system. -
Recharge air conditioning
Probably true. But my understanding is that when vehicles get older, the seals can dry out. The seals are normally lubricated and kept flexy by the refrigerant, so a lack of use over the winter months can find the system running low come the following spring/summer. So yeah, technically a... -
Recharge air conditioning
While I've done it on other vehicles, I've never done it on my LR4. That said, looks easy enough if this is correct. https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2011_Land_Rover_LR4_HSE_5.0L_V8/air_conditioner/recharge_freon -
What's everyone's favourite replacement lower control arms?
If you want the Meyle HD, looks like they can be had cheaper here: https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/kit680hd-meyle-hd-front-lower-arms--oem-bolt-kit-discovery-4---4-year-warranty-lr073367--lr073369-1366312-p.asp Although shipping may be $10 or so more than Lucky8. I suppose the benefit of... -
What's everyone's favourite replacement lower control arms?
I would consider those. But the cheap ones they have aren't good. As I sit here today, I can't remember why I went with them. I think at the time the options were either those or OEM, so I foolishly decided to save a buck. I think the shipping was a lot faster, too, and I had the job... -

What's everyone's favourite replacement lower control arms?
https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/lower-control-arm-replacements.43341/page-5#post-237428 If I was ordering now, I think I'd go with these Lemforder ones, which are essentially the OEM. Stay away from the cheap ones. I used whatever cheapos Lucky8 had the first time around and was... -
Offroad modes and terrain
I've always used Rock Crawl at my dealership's off-road event and on the loose rocky trails in Colorado. I've never had mine on slickrock, though. -
Help with a part number please ?
The cable comes with the tailgate latch. LR017470. If you haven't replaced your rear actuator yet, you can get a discount buying the kit that includes the door latch, the actuator, and a new moisture shield. https://www.roverparts.com/body-chassis/tailgate-parts/TLRK/ -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
I would go back. -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
LR175172 was replaced on mine. Invoice says it's a fuel pump, but a google search doesn't turn up much. EDIT: a post on Discoweb says that part number is a filter. No idea, though. -
Genuine New Front Crossover Pipe Defects
Oh this is just great. Hope the one I had installed April 21 wasn't one of these. -
LR4 Tailgate not opening
My fix lasted exactly one night. It only works very intermittently now, so I ordered the switch from PowerfulUK. https://www.powerfuluk.com/land-rover-discovery-3-release-switch-for-tailgate-yuz500020.html -
LR4 Tailgate not opening
So I'm apparently one of the few where this was actually an issue with the switch and not a malfunctioning actuator. Again, my symptoms were: Pushing in the switch above the license tag does nothing. However, pushing the rear hatch switch on my keyfob worked fine, every time. Symptoms... -
Dealership Multi-Point Inspection INSANE Recommendations!
OP, if you are handy at all with a wrench, the brakes are pretty easy on an LR4. Much easier than any Land Cruiser I've owned (which needed brakes more often). The only hangup is making sure you have a 21mm 12-point socket to remove the caliper bracket. A 6-point socket will not do. You... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Here is what parts were changed on mine pursuant to the recall: -
LR4 vs Defender
They would certainly be tempting. My commute is only about 5 miles each way and there are EV charging stations in my work garage. -
LR4 vs Defender
I also asked my dealer when the PHEV version of the Defender will be available. He said they keep getting the runaround from Land Rover. When the PHEV version of the Range Rover and RRS came out a few years ago, they got around 5 of them that they sold right away. They had customer orders for... -
Dealership Multi-Point Inspection INSANE Recommendations!
I was just thinking this morning that my dealer must just want people in and out. I've got the "Service Required" message on my dash that I've been too lazy to use my iiD tool to reset, and my dealer didn't say a thing about it yesterday. -
Dealership Multi-Point Inspection INSANE Recommendations!
I've always thought the wealthiest of the Land Rover owners aren't necessarily the ones who buy the new, high end vehicles. It's the one that buy the new vehicles and then drive them well past the warranty, still taking them to the Land Rover dealers and paying whatever the dealers want to keep... -
Leaking air spring replacement
I looked at my OEM fronts (I kept them for some reason), and they were Firestone airbag and BWI branded overall (which I think may be related to Delphi). The airbag on the Arnotts is Continental. -
LR4 vs Defender
You can, if you are willing to modify it once you buy it by doing some work on the rear brakes. But I think almost 300 hp is perfectly acceptable from the 2.0.
