    LR4 Trailer Hitch Service / Rebuild

    I strongly second the advice from CRYA, excellent videos and excellent kits. Make sure you order the correct kit as there are 2 hitch variants. My hitch was damaged when I bought the truck used. You can cut the plastic bits until you can get it apart and then rebuilt as per the videos. I...

    Windscreen Vendors ?

    Windscreen Vendors ?

    Well, it happened to my D just now. 2015 Red Rover picked up something and the crack runs through the drivers line of sight (haven't even seen it yet...) - so I need a new windscreen to pass the next inspection. I would much prefer an original Rover Branded, but at the least a PPG (is it PPG...

    Upgrade or keep 2010 V8?

    Better the Devil you know. If it has never failed, there is no particular reason to move on. I drive all my vehicles until they die in the driveway. Toward the end of course they are used only as far as I care to walk home. Every day without a car payment, or a large purchase depleting my...

    Hardware key issue

    I cannot find it right now, but I have seen a series of videos by PowerfulUKLTD addressing this exact issue. Sorry I can't be any more helpful...

    LR4 Window problems

    On a semi-related note. I purchased this vehicle used a couple years ago and just noticed this. On the drivers window. When the window is down and you pull up on the switch there is a detent/click that is supposed to completely close the window. It clicks but when the switch is released the...

    2010 LR4 Air suspension need advice

    Can't answer all that, but... On my 2016, and I have heard this from others as well.... This appears to be a factory build error... The software in the vehicle is for the Hitachi pump, but the actual installed hardware was the AMK pump. Suggest that whatever your path, you make sure that the...

    LUX vs Vision package

    Our 2013 LUX does not have the Vision package.

    ZF6 to ZF8 upgrade!

    Glad to know that this is possible, but, at least for my hardware, the ZF6 is much smoother, and I don't care about 2mpg. So please explain to me why one would change from 6 to 8 ? Not being contrary - just wanting to understand....

    Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4

    I find that the folks at Land Rover Palm Beach on-line parts are wizards in locating part numbers. Palm Beach Rover is also a reliable vendor - more expensive than some - but parts are properly packaged and have always arrived in good condition. That particular "not compatible" message comes...

    Replacing Lower Control Arms 2016 LR4 HD

    LCA, the last time I did them, were something like $200-$300 each. Use Rover branded. If you are really into pressing bushings and want to alter the ride, that is also an option that some have taken. I find this particular job a PITA because I keep bonking myself on the head when installing...

    2015 LR4 Coolant Issue - Nothingburger or...

    Inexpensive and quick. Get a UV flashlight, $10. After dark look all around, especially on the front of the engine. Also, at about 2:00 at the oil filter, look straight down, 6" or so, until you see a little triangular space down there. If you are running Rover coolant, anything orange/yellow is...

    Hello!

    Brakes are easy. I went with aftermarket vented brakes on the 2016, much cleaner, i.e. less brake dust, than factory and they work just fine.

    Hello!

    Welcome to the group! There are several threads here that offer excellent insight into things to inspect prior to a purchase - although at $1,500, it's pretty much a well, why the heck not kind of decision..... I think it depends on how much hands on work you will be doing yourself vs having...

    Newbie to the Forum

    Welcome!!! Yes, very possible it's the gaskets in the oil cooler pipe along with a poor design - that was my issue on the 2013. Be aware that a new water pump will require a new pipe and new gaskets in there as the design has changed - you will need to change that entire area to the new design...

    Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4

    The SC aftermarket couplers from SCOL are excellent quality and fit very tightly. A solid block does not necessarily distribute applied forces as well as a designed part. The entire SC oil change and coupler replacement is a section in this video - all part numbers are in the video. See the...

    Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4

    It's my understanding that the timing chain issues were in the V8 (and were resolved before the V8 ended production in the 2013 model year) and are not appearing in the V6. The OP has a 2016 which is a V6. Not saying it could not be a timing chain issue - if the oil changes were not sufficient...

    Agreed about the SC coupler. I changed mine at about 45K miles - already signs of wear on the shaft from coupler failure - not of concern at that time - glad I caught it.

    Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4

    I have the same type of sounds on my 2 V6's. I am not concerned with mine - but they are not as pronounced as yours. But I would not not be concerned about yours either - but I am no expert.... Sounds like fuel injectors. Just a note of advice on replacing fuel injectors - I replaced mine on...

    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    Agreed, if the reservoir really got low enough to suck in air, simply adding coolant will never burp the bubble - re-evacuate and refill as appropriate. Hopefully your added dye is OK - personally I don't care what any additives CLAIM - I use them only when desperate, only those that claim...

    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    Leaks can be challenging to find - even with UV. When you change out coolant next time use Rover coolant - it already contains UV dye and then you don't have the possibilities of added UV dye being incompatible with the coolant - (I only use those "universal" dye's if I am desperate.) What's...
