    Transmission taking too long to shift

    For a similar issue, a Rover dealership (that I trust) advised me to disconnect the battery for half an hour to allow things to reset.

    Touching Base

    About the keyless entry. I have found that if the key and the cell phone are in the same pocket that the key does not work.

    Touching Base

    All the best for your daughter - that is going to be a very challenging road. Just a heads up... (Because I did not know this I purchased an unnecessary battery that is now sitting in the garage...) From the mechanics manual for the 2016, pg 36. "Do not rely on the generator to restore a...

    Crossover pipe work

    Get a UV flashlight and poke around after dark. Look everywhere... The 2013 had a coolant leak that I could not locate until I found coolant on the front surface of the engine. Front crossover failure. The 2016 was perfect, but I discovered a front crossover failure, that could have gone...

    Transmission “Free Wheeling”

    On a different matter, I have been in touch with Land Rover Rochester NY. They also suggested disconnecting the battery and watching behaviour. I did have a chance to disconnect the battery, but I did not have an opportunity to drive it after that. Fuji White is now with my D at University and...

    Transmission “Free Wheeling”

    Except for a couple hours off roading 3 years ago, and some misc. hills here and there, Montreal is far hillier than anywhere previous. The issue did start on its first day in Montreal.

    Transmission “Free Wheeling”

    Probably discussed somewhere, but traveling and dropping my daughter off at a new university in a new city… I have 2 days to resolve, if possible before leaving it with her. 2016, 70K. I drained and filled the transmission fluid at about 60K. It’s been totally dependable. Got hung up in...

    Bouncy Ride Normal? +engine cover part no. request

    Recently changed tires on my daughters 2016. Changed from Michelin Latitude to Michelin Cross Climate 2. I cannot over recommend the Cross Climate 2 tires - it’s a totally new vehicle, like driving on a silky smooth magic carpet.

    Resolved- Height when in Access Height

    Traveling… Arrived Montreal for D only to find out that even in access height the LR4, standard wheels is about 2” too tall for the parking structure. What is exact height to top of the Sat Radio antenna?

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    It's a Rover, it's finicky, why would anyone use anything other than the recommended oil to save a couple of $. Rover oil is easily available FCPEuro and AB.

    Lug nut quality?

    But that's just the cap, right? The working part should remain in place, right?

    OEM Waterpump vs British Atlanta/ProFlow

    OEM all the way. I have now completed the F/R rossover project on 2 of my 3 LR4's. 3rd one, 2015, now at 42K miles. Failure on the 2016 was the front crossover on the left hand side, inside the block. Was not leaking, just good timing. Failure on the 2013 was the o-ring on the oil cooler tube...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    For the 2013 - V6. I did not jack up the transmission. I did not use spray tack. Think about it, you are spraying an adhesive on/inside the pan. Do you actually know that is remains set and does not dissolve in the transmission fluid? Do you actually know how it might behave in the...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    I recently completed my 2013 with the Lubelocker and it's perfect. You need to torque properly. You need a small torque wrench that you can obtain from a bicycle shop and a stubby socket, it fits, and you need to torque it in the correct order. The steel pan is 12Nm, torque, in order to 6...

    LR4 oil cooler level of effort involved estimate? For 2013 V8

    Having done the project and with the experience, I agree, on the V8 one can get to it pretty quickly. Of course, it does take longer if one has never done it before... You are in you-might-as-well land. See the video for most of those - plus, do the PCV valve.

    LR4 oil cooler level of effort involved estimate? For 2013 V8

    Here are my videos, one for the V8 and one for the V6. These are not oil cooler videos, but all the steps you need to get there and back out again are thoroughly covered.

    Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...

    Yes UHaul has an adjustable hitch, it must must be purchased, is over $200 and requires additional purchase of the pin locks.

    Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...

    Sorry, another dumb question. OK, so the UHaul trailer says ideal hitch height is 18.5 - 18.75 inches as measured to the center of the 2"ball. For our LR4 setups, with the Rover Hitch, looks like I will need a height raising adjuster as the intermediate. (I have the Rover hitch - just finished...

    HA! Daughter got in there and sent a photo, YUP, wiring harness is installed!

    Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...

    That's crazy easy! Thanks! I can even get my D to open it up and show me what's in there to see if the wiring is already installed. Hardest part will be the spare tire, and I need to do that anyhow because I splurged and actually purchased a new spare, but they mounted it back up wrong way...
