    Front passenger axle threads stripped by axle nut...looking for advice

    There is nothing particularly involving about replacing the front half shafts in this truck. There are a couple of videos on Youtube that show you how. A good one to follow is this guy doing it on an L322.

    2011 LR4 front air strut replacement

    That sucks and sorry to hear but you are talking about doing something else. You were trying to separate the airbag from the strut. In our case, we are replacing the entire unit(airbag + strut) so that big nut does NOT need to be removed as the whole assembly comes out as a single unit. So you...

    LR4 Parts Source's (SCV6)

    Is it me or are their prices absolutely outrageous? Why am I paying $32 for a Mahle oil filter? And $105 for a pair of air filters?

    18”New Defender steelies on LR4

    When the new Defender came out, I had been waiting for a pic of a D4 with defender 18in steelies. They look fantastic, just as I suspected! Well done! Random question: Do the steelies come in any other color except white?

    New noise. Timing chain?

    I'd think timing chains would be a much more rapid, frequent, rattly noise. Thinking this is fan clutch?

    2011 LR4 front air strut replacement

    I replaced both my fronts with Arnotts a few months ago. The front was starting to get soft and it looked like the shocks(not airbags) had gone past their prime. I did not evacuate or deflate the system in any way and it reset itself afterwards and has been working fine since. Thought it was a...

    LR4 Front Fender Modification for Larger Tires

    I think going to 20s and running 275 55 20s is a good option. This does not require lift rods and minimal work on frame horns(if any). Always depends on the wheel offset too.

    Transmission issue when cold?

    I did a whole thread on this, on a 6sp. It's more work but not that complicated, if you're already in there. Just replacing the solenoids doesn't address the other wearable parts(end plugs, o rings) that are in mechatronic unit. And since proper pressure is critical, replacing these helps a lot.

    Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic

    It will work, provided you change the oil every 5k-7500. 5w20 or 0w20.

    LR4 Parts Source's (SCV6)

    I use Rock Auto quite a bit, mostly for the sheer selection. The format of their site is fantastic, big fan. Also they sometimes have stuff on closeout. FCP Euro is good for wearable suspension parts(LCAs, etc) as they have a lifetime warranty. If I need something OEM quickly, a local land rover...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    To everyone who is thinking about(or planning on doing this) - please go spend $40 more and get/use this gasket from Summit(https://www.summitracing.com/parts/LUB-LLT-F6R80) rather than the heaping pile of shit that is supplied with the kit. You can thank me later(thank @Daniel Atkinson instead...

    Yup, ended up finding the sequence later and did it with my zip kit service. Thanks!

    2010 LR4 Engine/Tranny Issues - Should I Fix?

    At minimum, i'd do a trans fluid service and possible zip kit(at that mileage, it will probably need it). As far as engine ticking, you'd need to post a sound clip. Tons of people swear their chain tensioners are going bad but these engines are loud to begin with and the HPFPs+fan clutch make...

    Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues

    One concern I have about that kit is that it retains the factory ZF 4HP trans, which I don't think is a very good transmission(especially compared to a GM 6L80E). Have you considered ways of ditching the 4hp and going a different route?

    Was about to suggest this as well. This would make the perfect rig for one.

    105K Service // Full Schedule // Cat Replacement

    This is good info as I am planning to do the plugs soon myself. The back ones look like a pain to access but if someone can do it in two hours, I feel better about tackling it.

    Costco Mobil 0w20

    It's an OK price. Walmart's pricing on M1 EP(extended performance) is better. I've used that for years. Someone else can chime in with more specifics but the consensus(gathered from countless older threads) seems to be that the JLR spec is not important if you're sticking to 5-7k intervals and...

    Yes, if changed every 5k-7k.

    Brake question

    It might have been an install error. With the brembo pads, there is a backing plate to the pads - this plate worked itself loose somehow and was rattling around. Either way, noise is gone with Akebonos so I'm happy.

    Brake question

    I just had this problem too with brembo pads and it drove me nucking futs. The car sounded like a total rattlebucket going over bumps, squealed horribly and it sounded like the front end was going to fall apart. I ditched these pads and put in Akebonos and all(i mean ALL) the noise is gone. Pads...
