    2012 LR4 - Diagnosing two separate vibrations

    My 2c. I changed all the discs and pads over Christmas. I cleaned out the EPB but didn't change the shoes and didn't strip it. Just put the new discs on. About a month later the vehicle started to exhibit a random but very considerable vibration - sometimes at highway speeds, sometimes at 30...

    Replacing Lower Control Arms 2016 LR4 HD

    I second the advice here. Meyle is a very reputable brand - no need to spluge on OEM. Just ensure you do NOT fit arms with poly bushes. They will be distinct and they're a huge problem. Just stick to OEM spec (i.e. not poly bushes). The point about tight tolerance mode is key.

    Underbody corrosion protection recommendations - Toronto/GTA

    Happy New Year, all. I'd like to have the underside of my 2016 LR4 professionally corrosion profed, including cavity wax in the chassis, etc. I've had previous experinece in the UK and (almost) in the US and know just how many cowboy outfits there are. If anyone has any recommendations in the...

    First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.

    For sure there are timing chain issues with the 3L and 5L engines. The issues are different, but both can suffer from failure. If you want to keep a vehicle for a long time then it is worth getting the timing chain (tensioners etc) done when they become noisy. There are no engines (diesel or...

    New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon

    I'm also on 20s and have been looking at tyres to replace my Nitto Terra Graplers (which are a terrible tyre - hopeless in the wet on the highway (almost dangerous) and utterly hopeless in snow. In fairness I have not used them off road). I have done a lot of research and decided on Continental...

    Is there an option to put the 4.4 V8 into the LR4 and replace the 3.0L?

    3.0 SCV6 P0089 code - anyone got a fault finding process to follow?

    I have a 2016 SCV6 with around 65K miles. Runs perfectly well; no performance issues, but the CEL has come on. The only relevant code showing on the IID is P0089-64 (EC) fuel pressure regulator performance, etc,. When cleared it reappears within 30 mins or so of normal driving, but has also...

    Anyone care to admit this was them? Off the edge of a cliff and recovery from Matt's Offroad Recovery.

    Those guys are very dodgy and are taking major risks to their personal safety. There's some seriously amatuerish winch work going on there. Shame about the vehicle, and an interesting tyre mix for offroading!

    Is there anyway to see if crossover pipes have been done?

    The as-built front crossover pipe on the last built LR4 (somewhat of a generalization but based on the fact that mine was one of the last 2000 built) has been modified to a new design. However I suspect that information is of limited help as you’d need to strip a few items away to check, by...

    Is there an LR4 Workshop / Service Manual?

    ^^^what jlglr4 says. They’re out there and downloadable off a number of forums via file share and similar. I would add that if you’re expecting a Haynes-type manual (may not mean anything to US compadres) that walks you step by step through tasks, prepare to be disappointed. The manual makes a...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    I followed txfromwi’s outstanding video and got about 80ml out and put 85ml in and use the remainder of the contents of the bottle I had to do a quick flush.

    TPMS settings with IID tool

    I have a 2016 LR4. The issued rims have TPMS and work fine. I have switched these off for the winter types, which are on an older set of LR3 rims, also with TPMS. The older rims TPMS are not being picked up by the vehicle, and thus it's showing a fault. I wanted to ask if anyone here had any...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Having just done the front and rear crossover pipes, waterpump, thermostat etc, I'd appreciate a view from those who've done this. I completed the task with a vacuum coolant fill (took about 8 litres). Since then I've had to top up maybe a hundred ML on two occasions a week after the project...

    The Great Engine Oil Debate

    Trying to find the right oil for my LR4 2016. I asked Catrol Canada for advice on alternatives to the unobtainable 0w20 E oil. The response from Castrol today: Castrol EDGE 0W-20 E was replaced with Castrol EDGE 0W-20 EC. Castrol EDGE 0W-20 EC is not available in Canada, only in the US...

    IID Tool and control module firmware updates

    If your vehicle isn't throwing any major faults (there are almost always going to be some faults - many don't matter) I'd suggest that you perhaps consider leaving well alone. The IID tool is a powerful thing and it's very easy indeed to get yourself into real trouble and do irreprable damage to...

    Used Vehicle Inspection Items and Would you Do This?

    I wouldn't risk it. That sort of mileage in a car you know nothing about might turn a safe bet into a complete wreck. Better to leave it and go back to it when you have time to inspect it properly, then if you decide to buy take it to a local shop and put the correct fresh oil/filter in and take...

    K&N air filter?

    This is aligned with the general view in the UK on KN filters; utter rubbish and not suitable for most vehicles and certainly not the LR3 or 4.

    ECO Auto Start/Stop Not Available

    ...one way to get the SS to stop working and not throw a fault light is to run a really weak main battery throughout the winter, as I found out (not a great plan). I knew my main battery (2016 original battery) was on the way out as the voltage was low and it didn't hold what it had brilliantly...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Opps. If useful to anyone, this is the parts list I've complied with my local indy (ignore the item (6 x hose) highlighted in yellow; only one is required.

    Selling the LR4

    LR4 prices have risen significantly in the US since the early years of the 2010s and are holding strong. Because I use the LR3/4 for camping and we don't travel light, I wanted to buy the latest model LR4 I could find and sell my LR3, which was immaculate and mechanically perfect even at 13...

    Particulate on Valves - HELP!!

    https://sdparts.com/i-24095977-acdelco-top-engine-cleaner-13-oz-aerosol-10-3007.html I haven’t used the one you mentioned but I have used this one and can vouch for it. It is very strong and the fumes are considerable. It does a great job - with patience - of cleaning valves but it takes elbow...

    Particulate on Valves - HELP!!

    Since you have access I’d strongly recommend cleaning the valves. Use a top engine cleaner like Delco (I’ve used it to very good effects but it’s pretty brutal to read the label…). With time and care you will be able to make a vase improvement and remove plenty of the crap that’s there. I use...
