Howto: DIY LR4 Alternator replacement
Hello all... alternator seems to have failed on my '14 @150k LR4. 11 years of devoted service by OEM alternator seems okay! :-) So I'm considering replacing with one of the high output alternators mentioned above. Question is — do battery cables need to be beefed up or anything else? Can the... -

Aux radio button kaput—stuck on SAT
Hello everyone - '06 LR3 with the HK sound system. We've been enjoying playing iPhone tunes through the aux channel. But all of a sudden today can't access AUX through the radio console... With each push of the AUX button the radio should cycle through the two SAT channels then back to AUX... -

Mystery Headlamp Bulb
Interesting. I’ve got a 9 to 11 manual and a 12 to 14 manual. They both show the same (wrong in my case) illustration of the headlamp assembly. Truck is definitely a 14 according to the VIN. Perhaps a late 13 build, badged as a 14? -

Mystery Headlamp Bulb
ryanjl—thanks—the "other bulb" indeed came out of location #6 in the illustration below. I went out to the truck and, like, LOOKED at what was going on. You're absolutely right—the mystery bulb *is* the turn signal—in spite of being labeled "high-beam halogen fill headlamp" in the manual. The... -

Mystery Headlamp Bulb
Atlantic British had no idea when I showed them this... so before calling the dealer I'm trying here. Passenger-side headlights I noticed were out today. Never changed the LR4 bulbs before (although many times on the D2 — very similar access steps). The owner manual says Halogen headlamp... -

Gear selector compatibility
To close out this thread I'm happy to report that I've installed the gear selector which came in with the -AC suffix and it works like a charm. My fingers are crossed regarding longevity—seems like there are some fragile components within—sniffing around the internet yields stories of zip-tie... -

Thanks Nechaken—You've given me the confidence to go for it. -

Gear selector compatibility
Friends I have the same problem at the moment (stuck in Park). I have the shifter out of the car—seems like an easy replace. BUT I want to verify one detail that hasn't been answered as far as I can tell upthread: What's the difference in the two-letter suffix in the part number, and does it... -

Oil filter cap
Well 300 miles over my oil-change interval so thought I'd quickly take care of that over the weekend (extractor, new filter, take the old oil to AutoZone, etc). Well, the old filter wouldn't easily come out of the cap, so in the application of the muscle to get it it out of there, off came the... -

Passenger side air intake and front sunroof drain
Hey mates - Rover trivia tonight. Yes the drain was clogged, **** whacker line to the rescue. But I wanted to trade notes about the outlet of this line, which as most of us know drains into, or rather behind, the right-side engine air intake grille. The cleaned-out drain tube drained fast... -

Best way to clean out sunroof drains
I’ve cleared our Lr3 and lr4 drains via the weedwhacker method several times. But question… what purpose does the constriction serve at the end of the line? If I didn’t know better I would say it was designed to catch debris and cause a clog. Seems common to all sunroof drain designs... -

Sunroof drain preventative maintenance?

Sunroof drain preventative maintenance?
yep - We park outside and they get clogged easily. **** whacker line usually does the trick. Roverrange: What is the advantage of the Volvo part vs Land Rover OEM? timc930: How do you blow out the lines with air? The plastic trim does not allow a positive seal to the down tube. -

Yep. New Exide did the trick for me. -

Leaf and debris catcher
The the LR3/4 under-hood drains seem designed to capture any and all tree debris and store it away in the wheel wells with an idea of future compost. I opened the hood the other day and saw a mouse duck down there so thought I'd better do a deep clean. Any tricks for keeping junk out of there... -

Speedometer recalibration with IID Tool
Ditto! Thanks Jimmy I have also been trying to get the speedo right. I have almost the same tire - bit wider - but can't wait to try MSB IPC @ 30. -

Signing off
Umberto - You don't know this but your posts gave me the confidence to take the plunge upward away from our rusty old 2000 DII (no sunroof!) to the 2014 LR4 we're just a little bit too proud of. Thanks and best of luck with your new ride. -

Windshield Cowl Grille Replacement
Looks great and my truck suffers the same. What's your source at $80? I searched but everything I saw was twice that amount. -

Well crap!
Ah well crap—reading the how-tos gives me a little buyers remorse but I'm getting old and my better half won't let me spend days outside wrestling Rover Fixes to the ground. Avoiding opportunity cost comes at a cost. But with a much lighter wallet the rig is back with new crossovers (both)... -

Well crap!
Since we're discussing cost would you guys mind jumping in with thoughts about an estimate I have for the following ('14 LR4 with 116,00 miles). All preventative maintenance - I got no leaks whatsoever at the moment. The water pump was done at 40k. No evidence the crossovers have ever been... -

Can’t load iland - network error
Ha - was under the impression AB did not take returns on diagnostic tools. As for the iLand - my experience with the tool itself has been fine - BUT as I said documentation is sparse and there are no helpful support pathways. I also have the IID-BT for the LR4 and yes that company projects a... -

Can’t load iland - network error
I have one for my D2. After not using it for a while I fired it up today just to check codes (After charging a battery that had inexplicably died) and the iLand got stuck on the “Diagnosis Pre-check“ Screen. It just sits there and says “Inspecting…” The iLand is a bit of a black box if you ask... -

Would like to confirm a few details on 2015 SCV6 maintenance
This looks like the list I'm working up. Not quite twice your mileage, though!
