    Then I definitely need not apply! That's me to a T :-).

    Timing Chains INA or Tsubaki how to tell?

    This has many plates (more than 11 but hopefully conveys the idea): Here we have 5 plates (INA I assume): Look at a single pin (the silver part in the image above) and then count how many pieces of metal it connects, the pieces of metal are the plates. Here's a better description:

    Ultragauge 2

    I'm guessing the purpose of this is to warn the driver of any pending doom (like failed crossover pipes as an example), is that correct? If so - very cool!

    casting call for LR owners

    3. Own a vehicle in the correct age range - "2019-2023" (it's not going to be an LR4!), in which case use (1) and (2) above and get busy with Photo Shop or Chat GPT!

    Rough Wipers

    Just another FYI, I noticed that my wipers are positioned to clear a little more of the windshield than yours, the wipers are typically mounted on a tapered and splined shaft; I wonder if yours couldn't be adjusted (by rotating them) so that when they're at the top of the ****** they get a...

    When is it time to say goodbye?

    I feel the same and love seeing how this thread has evolved, I've always got an inner smile when I go drive the lady :-) (Mad!)... Certainly, it took a while to get her the way I wanted and for sure there's a lot more work and pain involved (timing chains and cross-over pipes) but there is...

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    Great to hear this particular journey is coming to an end - excellent news :-). Thanks also for blazing a trail that others can follow; the value of these forums is sharing the journey and the solution when we finally arrive at it... You deserve a rest!

    Fuel hatch never locks in NAS LR4?

    I think gas in Europe is so much more expensive that syphoning from a gas tank is more of an issue. Just my guess...

    Fuel hatch never locks in NAS LR4?

    Mine doesn't lock either. I suspect you can just inspect the mechanism and figure this out...

    2012 Lr4 service required message “Reset”

    I bought mine in the UK, with the exchange rate and shipping (£25) it worked out at $472 and took about a week to arrive... Here is a link: https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/tfiidbt-integrated-interface-diagnostics-tool-bluetooth-tfiidbt-p-27303.html

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    I have 92K, all original, but she's lived in Pennsylvania; Kentucky and now MI so I suspect it's had a rougher saltier life! I will keep burying my head in the sand until the bags deflate but also suspect the shocks could use some love... Weather wise, from hot and humid to freezing cold snow...

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    My 2012 still has the original struts, having serviced all valves with new o'rings and a new compressor mine is sitting pretty!... It was falling overnight but not by huge amounts! "I'll keep y'all updated as soon as the new struts get here. Not gonna lie though, I probably won't do a full...

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    I'm so glad to see progress being made, keep up the great work and reporting :-). Also sorry to hear about the LF - Damn that's rough! Here in MI we also suffer with the salt; on my radar is to look at the frame and clean it up as much as I can... Inch by inch you reach a mile! Keep us...

    Oil level not showing

    Welcome to the club, I bought mine last August and have absolutely loved it (more than I ever would have imagined)... It's given me a few sleepless nights and challenging diagnostic episodes but as time goes by I feel a little more confident in my choice (it has 90,000 miles!). This forum has...

    Lost ALL Key/Sensor(s) - Please help me understand my options?! Thx.

    I think it's around $400 to have a new keyfob programmed, I never had the physical key within my keyfob (the blade is it?): a new one of those was $110 - ouch! So sorry that Lucy isn't feeling well :-(.

    I think shocks should be replaced in pairs so in my opinion that's a good call! Keep us posted!

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    I'll have to dig around in terms of way's to do it; I suspect it's more than just damping although that is an option for the transients. Adjustable sway bars have been around for a while but need more energy/power, they get used for roll control...

    Oh boy, you're a lucky guy then :-). I hear you on all fronts! Aren't the rear airsprings new already?

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    I have to think you don't have kids!... I can't imagine this much freedom and I'm lucky in that I've managed to get as far as I have! Anyway; thank you for explaining the adaptive suspension system, it's a very cool idea! I certainly like the idea of a softer ride on the dirt roads and then...

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    Perhaps it's worth checking the pipe going in to the air spring (again)? Is there any reduction in how much it falls overnight, in other words has the valve block slowed it down at all? I concur on the routing of the pipe, I tried following it just visually and had a rough time! What is ADDS...

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    Great work and photos - Thank you for sharing. Looking at the old valves I think there's enough desiccant for the valves to be leaky. Mine looked similar! By cleaning, lubricating (with silicon grease) and adding new o'rings I was also able to stop my suspension from dropping. I don't think...

    Land Rover LR4 2015 keeps entering valet mode on its own

    Sounds good, it's not a terrible job! I have photos of my unit but I have a DVD should you need help identifying the basics of the unit.

    Land Rover LR4 2015 keeps entering valet mode on its own

    This post has a link to the videos I used to pull out the radio unit: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-radio-not-storing-preset-stations-or-returning-to-last-station-listened-to.44507/page-2 One big tip that really helps with the two side panels (right one shown): Is to move the...

    Land Rover LR4 2015 keeps entering valet mode on its own

    Curious what computer takes care of this, is it the head unit that also contains the CD/DVD player? I swapped out one of these for one that I found for $105 on ebay; if you're a DIYer this may be worth a try; it fixed my radio issues! Overall process is not too bad and there are plenty of...
