    2010 LR4 Air suspension need advice

    For the third bolt, notch the bracket while it’s off the car. Then put the nut on the bolt, screw it in a thread or two and slide the notched bracket into place. Finish by tightening up the bolt with a long ratchet.

    Valve Cover Gasket / Front Timing Cover Questions

    If you're going as far as replacing the VCG's, you may as well reseal the timing cover while you're in there. If it's the pax timing cover it will destroy your alternator. Ask me how I know :). Also be aware that the valve covers can warp over time and the gaskets alone will not fix the leak. If...

    Transmission replacement on jack stands?

    Thanks for the feedback. Before going the junkyard route; I decided to try some 'clutch in a can' anti shudder magic go-go juice and it's resolved my issues (for now). I'll keep driving it for now and see what my options are down the line. Thanks all.

    Air Spring reseal kit (LR016412)

    I recently replaced my front struts and reused the air springs as they were in good shape. The reseal kit came with 2 large o-rings that fit around the outside of the collar that mates the strut to the bag. That collar has 2 more inner o-rings that I had to re-use. Anyway - looks like I've...

    Transmission replacement on jack stands?

    ’ve been having some issues with the transmission on my 2011 LR4 (147k miles). Started after hauling a heavy trailer for a day. I have some rpm hunting across different gears as well as some shudder. Did a fluid change along with a full valve body service (sonnax kit, new solenoids, reset...

    2011 LR4 - preemptive coolant repairs

    Thanks. I’m not against replacing the entire cooling system per se. I’m just not sure what that really means. Coolant pump, thermostat housing, radiator and front crossover pipe seem to be in order. But I’m trying to figure out the myriad of rubber hoses and plastic parts in real terms. Like...

    Is it a leaking passenger side valve cover gasket?

    I had my PAX valve cover gasket replaced under (extended) warranty at 98K miles. 5 miles later it went back for the valve cover itself (plus another gasket). The dealership had recommended doing the valve cover first time around but the extended warranty company wasn't having any of it. The...

    2011 LR4 - preemptive coolant repairs

    2011 LR4 with 130K miles. Had the front X-over and water pump done at 80K miles. (along with LR018275) Rear crossover done at 130K miles. While it was in there - my Indie shop recommended replacing a few more coolant pipes along with the radiator as a preventative measure. I'm doing the extra...

    Coolant/Liquid leak

    Just to close the loop here and thanks for listening to my stream of consciousness. The highlighted drain appears to be the starter motor breather tube. The evap coil drains are above it. Everything is as it should be. Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk

    Online Parts Diagrams?

    VW/Audi have an online parts catalog with diagrams and part #'s. Is there an equivalent for Land Rover?

    Coolant/Liquid leak

    Well - I’ve located the pax side drip line. In the photo, the blue wire is the pax o2 sensor (for reference). The routing seems weird to me. The line is horizontal with a clip on the end suggesting it should be fitted somewhere. Dropping it vertical would expose it to the heat of the exhaust...

    Coolant/Liquid leak

    Found a puddle under my 130K mile LR4. Coolant was dripping from the front of the transmission pan. Local Indie shop diagnosed it as rear crossover pipe failure and repaired it. I hadn't lost much/any coolant and considered myself lucky. Since the repair; I've noticed dripping in the same...

    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    Oil cooler hose to radiator - o-ring size?

    I'm about to do the radiator and noticed the connector from the oil cooler will need to be moved over. It's the LR059162 pipe. Does this have an o-ring inside it (seems similar to the *** coolant connectors) and if so does anyone know the size?

    Antoher parking brake tale of woe

    Just to close this out. I had pulled the EPB module and 'reset' it (wound the bowden cables out and turned the driver side in 5 turns, also replaced the gears) before posting here. I thought that was clear from my original post but maybe not. I continued to have an issue so pulled the module...

    Antoher parking brake tale of woe

    It's not unlatched. I latched it manually when I had it apart.

    Antoher parking brake tale of woe

    Hi guys. Had the screech of death and a brake fault when applying the parking brake. Pulled the cable and drove on for a few weeks. Unjammed my EPB manually today and wound the black bar in 5 revolutions. Gears looked fine but also replaced them while I was in there. Relatched manually also...

    Leaking timing cover repair

    Thanks for the reply. So, while replacing the valve cover gasket; I will need to remove and reseal the timing cover? Or just doing the valve cover gasket itself will resolve it? I'm trying to visualize it. Thanks!

    Leaking timing cover repair

    5.0 V8 (2011 LR4) I had my valve covers replaced a few years ago. The timing chain cover on the passenger side is now leaking. Can I reseal it without redo’ing the valve cover? I’m at 122k miles. Thanks

    Recommended Indy shop in San Diego

    Well, here's the answer to question 2. I'm particularly interested in Question1 though if anyone has any ideas. Drive the parking brake to the mounting position -> This is to service the brakes Drive the parking brake to the latching position -> Return to normal/working position Longitudinal...
