    Engine oil analysis results on 2010 LR4 V8

    Here’s another sample from my 2013 MY. I’ve been running Mobil 1 5W-20 EP since I got the vehicle at 40,000 miles.

    2012 Radio not storing preset stations or returning to last station listened to

    Sorry I should have clarified. My car hasn’t lost presets, but I don’t use them and haven’t checked in a long time. My car will shut the radio off if the ignition is on for a few minutes without the engine running. Load shedding is turning off non essential parts of a system (such as the...

    2012 Radio not storing preset stations or returning to last station listened to

    My car will do the same with a new battery. The system is pretty conservative and will load shed pretty early on.

    2012 LR4 Gas Milage Increase, What could explain this?

    The reading is optimistic. Roughly 8-10%. I’ve calibrated mine with my IID tool and it’s almost spot on now. So I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much as far as being that economical. Check distance and gallons used at the pump.

    Lower Front Control Arms - Replacement - DIY Video

    I did it on jack stands and it wasn't bad at all.

    Rubber Suspension Cover Flap

    Can anyone help me ID this part? It’s in the front passenger side wheel well. My drivers side doesn’t have one… maybe it’s supposed to?

    Control Arms

    They rust weld themselves on. The control arm bolts are nearly impossible to get out. My car is generally pretty rust free, but I took a hackzall to my control arms to get the damn bolts off. It just wasn't going to happen without cutting them. Most shops cut them as well. Buy OEM arms if...

    Normal Coolant Level Drop?

    I was losing a small amount of coolant, and it turned out to be the radiator leaking. Grab a UV flashlight and do an inspection in the dark. Should glow pretty good. This is assuming you're using OEM coolant.

    CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

    Give the codes a read and report back here. You might be lucky and have something simple like the DMTL pump. $80 part later and I was back in service.

    UPDATE - Gasoline Odor - Is This Dealership BS??

    Have you had the recall done? Also when you fill up, do you let the pump automatically click off, and then “top off”? If you do top off, don’t. It could be related to your issue. It’s not good for the evap system.

    Air Suspension Compatibility...

    Curious how the B4 (OE) replacements feel. (Black vs yellow color) As far as I know my airbags don't leak, and my suspension still feels great at 110k miles, but I'd be curious to experiment around a little bit.

    AC Not Blowing Cold...Sometimes

    Mine does this sometimes, however its rare. I can always fix it by cycling the AC compressor (Cycling the AC button) I always leave my HVAC in Auto.

    The Great Engine Oil Debate

    I've had mine since 40k miles, am currently at 110k and have only ran Mobil 1 5W-20 since I've had it. Still runs great! Usually run Costco fuel as well.

    Does anyone know the weight distribution? F/R %

    Those are gross weights though. I recall reading somewhere that we're close to a 50/50 weight distribution, but I'd love to get some scales and measure it myself. Thinking about doing something like this.

    LR4 air suspension stays up!

    You could probably disconnect the height selector switch and see if it still changes, as a very basic diagnostic step. No idea if that inhibits anything though, and the switch is probably a pain to get to.

    Top of Door Panel Damage

    Window tint to get the UV off of it. Serious. Maybe some ceramic tint. Sunshade for the windshield. Covercraft makes a good one for our vehicles. (They're laser measured for a perfect fit) At least stop/slow the decay. Do you rest your arm on that section? I know some people have had issues...

    Why does this keep coming off

    My windshield guy says OEM clips are the only ones that ever work out for him. You can’t reuse them either.

    Cleaning OEM 2015 LR4 Rims - DO's & DON'TS

    Generally any wheel cleaner that is clear coat safe should be good for us. I have the black package gloss black wheels, and mine are 100% clear coated.

    Moab Trail Recommendations

    Brother is moving out to SLC so I figured I'd meet him out in Moab for a little off roading/camping. He has a 2006 Wrangler with 33s (KO2s) My Disco 4 has the HD package, 255/60/19 Toyo AT3s, with the option of me lifting with my IID tool. Stock otherwise. I've done Fins & Things without...

    Low Battery Warning after Battery Replacement

    If you have a multimeter, check the voltage of the battery when the vehicle is running. Should be around 14 volts. Where did you buy your new battery? Seems like it wasn't charged. 8.5 volts is really really low for a car battery. I would start by returning that battery and trying a different...

    First time front hub replacement and pic of damaged threads with advice needed.

    I've replaced a hub on my Disco and didn't have any issues with the threads eating themselves. Maybe you could run a die around them, but they're probably expensive at that size and might be too far gone.

    What's everyone's favourite replacement lower control arms?

    Pretty sure I'm going to have the same problem too, unfortunately. Wish I had researched it a bit more.
