    Best windshield replacement option?

    I believe Pilkington is considered a very high quality glass manufacturer so I'd echo the sentiment here.

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Folks, Thanks for the advice. For now I'm going to try the filter and oil replacement (using ZF fluid). I'll see how that goes, if it's still not right I'll start looking at the solenoids and zip kit but I tend to agree that with no codes I'd be throwing money at a problem that doesn't exist...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    This is one of the things that I came across during initial research; it suggests some issues with the sealing sleeves I believe (and possibly solenoids). I'd only do that particular work if the problem is getting worse or I was in there for another reason. Start here, it mostly BMW but it's...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    So I'm still learning... It strikes me there's a bunch of stuff that can be done (parts may be wrong in the links below so don't use these as a basis for ordering): - Fluid and filter change - Solenoid change - Sealing sleeves - Zip kit I'm still trying to figure why folks do the Zip kit; the...

    Did you ever post the video??? I still have your timing chain one to watch!

    2015 LR4 front end sagging overnight

    I had a similar issue with valve blocks and sagging; with new seals I've had no issues (it doesn't sag even when left for weeks). I've read here that not all seal kits are created equal... The ones I purchased and subsequently recommended seem to be working for others as well. Here's the...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    That's quite the JLR salvo you have... Will continue to do my research, I realize there's some recent threads on here about doing the transmission pan/fluid so I'll scan through those again (I didn't realize this would be on my agenda so soon but it seems like a smaller project than the timing...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Hmmm; some more!... It did throw a transmission fault perhaps a few months back (driving on the highway) but I've not seen that particular code come back (or any others for that matter). If and when I tackle this job I'll only ever buy the correct fluid based on doing some decent research; I...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    OK, Thanks. I'll get out the GAP tool and take a look. As mentioned above, I suspect the fluid needs changing! I still have the timing chains and crossover pipes to do so I guess I'm looking for a little more time on this job! I've read the other stories and don't relish lying under the LR4...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Thanks for the input; I bought the car at about 94,000 miles, I don't know the history of the transmission fluid so I've long suspected this may be on the radar. I don't know how to explain what's happening other than my gut is telling me it's not right (I generally have pretty decent instincts...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    This seems like a new behavior today although I've had my suspicions about the transmission for a while, I'm noticing the engine revs are a little higher than I'd like and the transmission is taking longer than I'd expect to shift to the next higher gear. For example, while in second gear the...

    Rear Brake Questions

    Pistons are steel given the loads they see. If they are corroded, or stuck for some other reason what's the best way to proceed? I realize they're relatively simple devices and people often choose to service them by removing the piston, installing new seals, etc... For me, this means bleeding...

    Head Unit stopped working

    FWIW I had head unit issues when I first purchased my used LR4, it wouldn't remember radio history from one start to the next. I found a replacement unit on Ebay (being very careful to find the right model #), once installed I've not looked back...

    Rear Brake Questions

    Agreed with f1racer328; the higher level of wear on the piston side of the pads is likely caused by the caliper not moving as freely as it needs to; the net result being uneven brake wear. I'm facing the same with my wife's Toyota Sienna despite always checking and lubing the caliper.

    Touching Base

    I just discovered the same... I tend to get a lot of beep beeps when trying to lock the car, I just changed the battery in the remote but not sure that has really helped either!

    Can't seem to be able to program homelink

    Thanks for confirming the attempt at a newer mirror! I wonder if others have a nice solution beyond the repeater?

    Can't seem to be able to program homelink

    I have the same issue on my 2012; I purchased this to resolve the issue: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LB16YQ5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I wonder if you can get a newer mirror that supports the newer rolling code technology.

    Testing air suspension for leaks?

    My pleasure, here's my detailed suspension thread, in particular I do the valves here (YouTube video links as well): https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-reluctant-to-lower-from-off-road-suspension-mode.44636/post-240721 Other's have bought the o'ring kit from the same location and...

    Testing air suspension for leaks?

    Yes, it's well known the desiccant in the compressor (to dry the air) starts to break down and distribute a fine powder in the hoses. That fine desiccant powder finally reaches the three respective valves (three at the front, three at the rear and two if I recall at the compressor) and has a...

    Testing air suspension for leaks?

    Is it one side or the other or both sides? Don't rule out the rear valve, a leak in one of the three valves could result in one side lowering, you need to look at the pneumatic diagrams to understand how the three valves in the one valve block work.
