What oil are you using?
There's an old saying in sales: "The confused mind says 'no'". That's pretty much where I am with regard to oil selection for my 2013 V8. I've sifted through the reams of forum posts and listened to respected members commenting. I've seen LR switch from 5W20 to 0W20. I don't know WTF to believe... -
Rear hatch still stuck!!
My understanding is that there are 2 primary causes for this problem: 1) broken cable connection where it attaches to the actuator, and 2) worn-out actuator. So the fix depends on which one is causing the problem. In my case it was a failing, wheezing actuator so I replaced it. But while I had... -
Rear hatch still stuck!!
Agreed with @jlglr4 about only replacing the actuator. I bought the entire kit from AB and decided that even though I had everything opened up, there was no need to reinstall and need to readjust a new upper latch that was working fine. They accepted the latch back with no problem. I'm pretty... -
Drive On Ramp - LR4/Disco4
Can’t you set up a ramp for all 4 wheels? I don’t know as I’ve never used these. -
Hard key - cutting a new one
I knew about the rear hatch access w/o unlocking the other doors, but didn’t realize it was possible to lock the keys inside. I wonder why they don’t make it work the same as with the other doors. If you try to lock up with the fob inside you get that little squawky error honk to let you know... -
Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?
I like this reasoning a lot. But with my luck (and aging memory), I can easily see myself scraping off my crossbars since I have tight clearance in my garage even at normal height. -
Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?
Please be careful, friends. Just the other day I was surprised by how sensitive my 2013 seemed to be about autoleveling. I was loading some junk in the rear for the county dump. It adjusted a few times during this process which I fully expected. However after some time of inactivity, I noticed I... -
Ultimate Towing Thread
Sounds like a great situation with a slip that close to home! Mine is 45 minutes away but I'll happily make that drive any day of the week during the season and even in the offseason just to check on it. I've been out at least once per month over this winter. A good excuse to grab a beer in... -
How to: Replace Humidity Sensor.
We don't need it. V8 owners don't let off much steam. -
Ultimate Towing Thread
Congrats on the new boat. We got back into the boating lifestyle late last season after a long layoff and can’t wait for the new season. Boat stays on a lift, though. Your sentence was a little ambiguous and I couldn’t tell if you were getting both the AB wiring harness and the AB bolt on hitch... -
Rear hatch still stuck!!
I also found that clearing the code with IIDTool gave me another brief shot at using the switch. In my case I could hear the wheezing puny sounds the actuator was making so I just replaced it and everything was fine. I am not skilled at voltmeters and ohm meters so I decided to just throw parts... -
Fun with Tire Plugs...
Todd, the kits I’ve bought come with a very small tube of rubber cement. I keep a plug kit in the LR4 and went ahead and bought a larger can of rubber cement because I was worried about the small tube either running out or drying out just when I needed it. After I open a set of plugs, I seal... -
radio/bluetooth audio cuts out
I've never had that same situation. I have had the display freeze and stop playing music for a few days, but it basically just resolved itself and I have no idea what caused or fixed it. Never had an intermittent experience like yours, sorry. As with any odd behavior like this, my first suspect... -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
You weave the hook through the hole at the top of the winch mechanism, then put the other end of that rod through a hole in the stock lugnut removal tool to form a "T". You then flip the lugnut sleeve out to use it as a handle/crank to unwind or wind up the winch. It gives you sufficient... -
Onboard Spare parts when off-roading/overlanding
The key to avoiding cable kinks seems to be NOT to use an air gun and to always maintain lots of tension on the cable as you lower and raise it. Unfortunately that means that changing a tire is a 2-person affair if you follow those guidelines. But we all know that if you take it slow the weight... -
Fun with Tire Plugs...
You mentioned *some* people using glue...are you saying that you did not apply a big wad of rubber cement to the plug before inserting it? I have always considered that a critical and necessary step. If you didn't use glue I would consider redoing it first. However it may be tough to pull the... -
Oil Filter top will not come off
This can’t be the right link. The one that fits is an 89 or 90mm 3.5” w/15 flutes. This one is 74mm w/14 flutes. Are we still talking about LR4 oil filter cover? FYI I found that 89mm fits better than the 90mm. -
Rear hatch still stuck!!
Keep in mind that the lower dropgate has two separate actuators that are different than the one that releases the top liftgate. I’m not 100% sure how their power is routed and/or shared by the liftgate actuator. The fact that the lower gate is working properly may not tell you much at all. -
What oil are you using?
Try modding the adapters that came with the Holt. Maybe take a high speed drill and sharp bit to ream it out just enough to fit? Maybe MityVac would sell you a set of the adapters that come with their unit. I would think you could source something that would work, otherwise. As mentioned by... -
Rear hatch still stuck!!
Did you test it after you installed the new switch and actuator, but before you buttoned everything up? IOW, did it work immediately after the replacement and then stop after you put the trim back together? Maybe something got pinched. I was also going to suggest checking the short corrugated... -
Heated windshield not working
Because we know that OE Land Rover parts are fail safe. j/k, this is as good an outcome as could be expected. -
What did you do with your Lr4 Today?
Glad to hear that it went to a fellow enthusiast who will hopefully appreciate it and keep it rolling. -
Voyager Rack Ladder Nightmare
Don’t look. Just keep telling yourself “it’s fine. I’m sure it’s just fine...” :eek: -
Voyager Rack Ladder Nightmare
This is a total and absolute dealbreaker for me. I was liking @Davidinseattle's idea to gasket the part that rests against the paint. However that would just make the gap even worse. In addition to allowing water/crap ingress, the appearance of that gap would make me hate it bad. I have the...
