New noise. Timing chain?
"Shouldn't" is the operative word. There is no ironclad guarantee about the improved guides. When I brought this up with my indy mechanic he just laughed at the thought that any of us are 100% immune to timing chain issues. He has done quite a few TC jobs on MY13 and later models. I told him he... -
LR4 Hand brake Fault
Please don't call your Land Rover a "jeep." Are you drifting in your vehicle? You mentioned that you can fully engage the parking brake while driving. Maybe this is the cause of your issue: damage to the brake from doing this. The best approach would be to pull codes with a good quality OBD... -
Windshield
If it's an insurance claim, then about the only thing you can do is battle with the carrier (citing previous experience) and insist on branded OEM glass or glass from one of the handful of OEM sources. In the second option the glass just won't have the LR logo but will come from a company that... -
Showoff Your LR4
I enjoyed sharing this in my IG #CuratedD4 feature! Looks great. -
New to the forum - Pickup 2014 LR4 today
That’s a great testimonial. My daughter recently sold her car to them and bought a new one from them. They took care of all of the issues she noticed and it’s been a good set of wheels for her (Jeep Grand Cherokee; she wanted a Landy but it wasn’t in the cards at this time...meaning, not in her... -
New to the forum - Pickup 2014 LR4 today
Great to hear, and here's to a mostly trouble-free summer and beyond. FYI, I just read in this morning's WSJ that Carmax is going from its traditional 7-days to a 30-day money back guarantee period. That a big differentiator. -
Coolant leak on my 2012 LR4
Thanks. In that case I'm good...or at least as good as any Landy owner can be at a given point in time. My overnight cold level was exactly in line with the lower line in the cold fill range. -
Coolant leak on my 2012 LR4
What is best practice for checking coolant level; both when the engine is hot and cold? Just another thing to add to the "mystique" of our Land Rovers (and I use the term charitably). -
OEM hitch receiver, or aftermarket?
I have a Rhino and really like it. Have you ever used it during a recovery situation where you pulled someone out of trouble or got pulled out yourself? I know that one of its attachment points is the cast factory recovery point on the rear. I just wonder if anyone has used it to get yanked out... -
Who knows the in's and out's of the Black Design Package?
Thanks for sharing the ‘13 brochure. I love having this stuff on hand in my LR files, especially since I’m the 2nd owner and didn’t have a print brochure. -
Roof Rails install Washington DC area
I recommend Independent Land Rover Specialists in North Bethesda/Rockville, and Airpark Rovers in Gaithersburg. Both are excellent independent LR shops. If you go to either place, tell them Chris Perez referred you. With that said, it is not a bad DIY job if you take your time and stay away... -
LR4 No-Start Issue - Detailed post with Video & Faults - Help!
Brake switch? Not as a solution for all of the faults but specific to the ignition problem and possibly related to other gremlins. -
Roof Rails
Also I’ve been thinking of those open ends you talked about closing off. Someone must sell a simple ABS plastic cap to fit a piece of stock aluminum in that size. That would seem like the cleanest way to deal with it. -
Roof Rails
Turned out well. What's your method for securing your recovery boards up there; bungee or straps? Just gave you a follow on IG and will stay in touch. -
LR4 Mileage Poll
LOL! I learned this firsthand when I'd visit my son at Northeastern University. Not only all the above, but the pedestrians all seem to have a deathwish as well. I was on a fairly busy street in the Mission Hill area, tooling along with traffic. A lady WITH A BABY STROLLER stepped out into... -
Roof Rails
I have extended rails from the factory on my 2013. I think they look nice if all you're going to do is add cross bars some day. However, if you plan to install a full or even partial roof rack at some point, the shorter rails will give you a whole lot more options. I didn't have any rails on my... -
Voyager Rack Ladder Nightmare
I got a nice reply from this dealership. That's a bogus listing. She said they had none in stock and she couldn't find any at her usual go-to places, so it confirms what we knew; that it's out of production. It was just a glitch in the system that it was listed. Just closing the loop on this. -
Defender 130 an LR4 replacement?
Yep, my interest in the big Wagoneer really isn't based on practicality or even moderate trail use. I just think it's cool to have a behemoth road trip mobile with outstanding interior finishes and tech. -

Voyager Rack Ladder Nightmare
Damn. I'm tempted to buy a couple just to have for those looking for them. But after the horror stories about hidden rot, I'm sticking with what I have. UPDATE: I noticed that the part is listed as "Genuine OEM Land Rover Rear Access Ladder for 2016 Land Rover LR4." When I used the tool on that... -
Defender 130 an LR4 replacement?
I will be giving this a long hard look. Not as a replacement for the LR4, but just because I think it's a great looking mammoth vehicle. It would be my 5th Cherokee/Grand Cherokee, so I'm no stranger to the brand. Hard to believe it's bigger than the Expedition (which I've had x2 as well). I... -
Transmission issue when cold?
It's always good to find a great indy shop. Here's hoping that your check ride goes well and the problem is fully resolved. -
What oil are you using?
I've mentioned this before but even at 5K OCI, my oil pumps out as dark as Hershey's chocolate syrup. Passes the sniff test as not being burnt but that's as scientific as I've gotten so far. This is my experience in both LR4s with AJ133 engines. Same thing whether or not I've recently used any... -
What oil are you using?
You are applying logic and reason to my attempt at humor. Mind you, it's excellent logic and reason and I follow most of it except for the lab testing. -
Transmission issue when cold?
Sounds like the indy is applying some critical thought and diagnostic analysis into their recommendation and not just throwing parts (and your money) at it. That's what I look for when deciding who to trust. Also, would a dealership offer to roll in the cost of the VB swap if a trans rebuild was...
