    Looking to purchase timing chain tools

    Yep, black part pulls off therefore releasing the spring. Hoping everything is ok, there was a little too much white smoke initially so will check the coolant. Still trying to figure out the transmission noise.

    Looking to purchase timing chain tools

    Lesson from this weekend! Don't forget when installing new hoses as part of the timing chain job to remove the retaining clips that secure hoses to their respective pipes: In this case I lost cooling fluid but hopefully got lucky in that we could hear the hose hitting the cooling fan and...

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    Ouch... New battery at Costco was $170 but mine failed the test at the local AutoZone so it was a no brainer... Perhaps try a battery and return it if that's not the issue, it's a lot cheaper than $3K.

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    I learned the hard way never to rule out the battery on these things although I can't explain the stalling, here's the thread I started on this topic as an FYI: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/p0232-24-28-fuel-pump-a-secondary-circuit-high-general-signal-failure-signal-stays-high.45770/

    2011 LR4 Lux Non-HD Head Unit Replacement

    Hey BigBri! - I had head unit issues in the early days of LR4 ownership; there was a thread recently where I provided information on purchasing a replacement unit on Ebay. My issue was with the unit not saving radio stations... It was a minor issue but in the end quite annoying! Let's see...

    Looking to purchase timing chain tools

    Hi @CPalacay - I opted not to replace either the fuel injectors or the cam variators, the engine was (and still is) running very nicely so figured I would skip on these parts. I did do a deep clean on the variators (or as a much as I could without pulling them apart). The injectors I cleaned...

    Front air suspension

    Perhaps look at my journey with suspension issues in this thread (I have a similar code and falling overnight): https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-reluctant-to-lower-from-off-road-suspension-mode.44636/ I would absolutely start with new o'rings per the thread and clean/service the...

    Difficulties finding steering shaft parts! If you have access to OEM catalogs, help!

    The "G" is just something unique to British Atlantic, I've noticed it before when looking on their site.

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    "Now, if there were a solution for the rear wiper keeping its tension on the rear window, I’d be all in." Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking this... Can the spring be upgraded perhaps?

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    Perhaps take a look at Silicone wiper blades as well, always a go to is Project Farm on YouTube: That said, the Bosch Icon seems to come out well.

    what happened to the show-off sticky thread?

    That's strange, is there a site admin who can assist?

    2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!

    That's a great video Tapps33; thanks for sharing. It's not that easy to find posts describing the location of the Satellite Radio Module (we're guessing SRM) on the LR4; the fact that it's on the passenger side (left hand drive vehicles) and in the trunk (boot for the Brits) makes it quite an...

    2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!

    On Page 1 I provided some eBay links that show what to look for. I'm in agreement with Tapps33; I'd start with the audio unit (photo also posted on page 1); if that doesn't work then I'd replace the touch screen. To help remove the dash I suggest also loosening the center console. I can...

    Under Hood Insulation

    I think it's for sound also... Damn mice! I caught a few on video while I was doing my timing chains. I left the trunk open to store parts (no battery so had to stay open) and they were sitting on the rear window! Need to leave the cats in the barn for a few days!

    2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!

    Could it be in Valet mode and therefore reduced functionality? Skip that - I see it's always there :-(. I agree with Tapps33 - it's time to pull it apart and start replacing parts, I'm not sure why you've not gotten in there already but per my previous post there are videos that can help and...

    Looking to purchase timing chain tools

    Hi Joe77 - Thanks for the feedback, I'm really pleased to hear that the docs will help, there's a ton of great information out there (esp. YouTube) but they don't always answer some of the finer details; I was hoping to fill in some of those details with this thread! Off-course, this forum and...

    2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!

    My eBay replacement unit (and cost): Looking for similar units: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_id=284975362521&_nkw=2012-2016%20Land%20Rover%20LR4%20HSE%20Am%20Fm%20Cd%20Player%20Radio%20Receiver%20OEM%2050645928%20AA&_sis=1

    I don't have any photos of the job but you can follow the videos posted above, here's the back of the unit:

    2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!

    I don't think it's a fuse issue; otherwise stuff just wouldn't work. My advice is to get in there and have a look at the unit, does it look clean? Don't overlook the eBay option as it's really not that difficult to replace once you're in there. I'm sorry this is stressful. Just take your time.

    That 120 degree connector is actually blocked on the new assembly, watch this video as it helped me a lot: Here's where Rover Range spotted a mistake I made during my recent Timing Chain endeavor (read the thread to get the background!)...
