No issues??
I have had my 2016 LR4 for a few years now. Clarkson (that's his name) has been pretty cantankerous on all 5 of the longer trips we have taken. Something has come up every time, often in the form of a DTC related to lean bank 1, or misfiring on a cylinder, or more recently to a post-cat bank 1... -
Brake fluid flush
Decided to flush my brake fluid, since it was looking a little brown. I used a power bleeder, and pumped it up to about 12psi. Got all the brown fluid out, but… Man, I swear air was somehow getting into the hose around the bleeder valve. I sat and watched several of them for what seemed like... -
O2 sensor part #s or positions
Couple of dumb questions. 2016 LR4 HSE, 3L SCV6. Which is Bank 1? Driver or passenger side? Next, I’m trying to map the following part numbers I got from Atlantic British against their proper positions on the vehicle, if anyone can help. Bosch 12018 = Bosch 16032 = Bosch 17128 = Denso... -
O2 sensor life, replacement strategy, fuel trim
Got the following codes on a short trip today. Previously, I’ve had issues with short- and long- term fuel trims on Bank 1 as well, but too intermittently to really pin down. 1. It strikes me as a little odd that the heater circuit and the lambda both would register as off, especially since... -
Backup camera format and resolution?
Hi, all, When I installed the rear spare tire mount, I had to re-do the rear camera. It was even more important because the tire substantially blocks the rear view mirror. So I got one of these. The camera works fine, but the contrast has gotten pretty crappy and greens appear pink. So I’d... -
Cable routing for roof antenna
Hey, all. I’m wanting to be able to put a mag mount ham antenna on my roof rack for remote trips. I’d be interested in knowing how anyone else routed the cable for something like this? I’d love to be able to leave the cable in place and think that wherever it exits the cab is waterproof. -
Tricks for getting the facia off of the front seats?
Hey, all. I’d like to mount some electronics under one of the front seats. But the plastic panel that sits behind your ankles when driving that presumably gives you access to that area…is there a trick to getting that off without breaking whatever tabs are holding it? -
Secondary battery for camping
We have all, I think, had trouble when camping, and opening and closing doors causing the computers to all wake up and draw power from the starter battery. I long ago had the GAP tool shut off the ECO warning, but actually did replace the eco battery with a 100ah LiFePo battery. It currently... -
Another weird post-repair issue/question: door light
Hi, all, So I took apart the driver’s door to replace the cable that connects the emergency lock to the rest of the mechanism. Got everything back together, I think. At least it all seems to work as intended, except… Except the puddle light. On only that specific door. Bulb is good, I checked... -
Routing for stout wires from battery to back?
I'm trying to install some wiring to get more current back to the rear cargo area, to be able to more quickly charge an Ecoflow battery. They gave me about 26' of positive and negative lead that's about 3/8" diameter to go from the battery back to there. I'm wondering if anyone has done... -
Smoke test, P0170 code and PCV
TL;DR - should the PCV valve be sealed tight enough that a smoke test won’t leak through it? Long version: Now that I think I found the issue with the misfires on my 2016 SCV6, I wanted to see if I could find what might be registering in my GAP tool as a P0170 code, fuel trim on bank 1. This... -
Where is this supposed to be bolted? (Part #EH22-13N850-FC)
This appears to be one end of a grounding wire, looking for a place to call home. Not sure when it would have been disconnected, and I assume this is unrelated to other issues I'm having, but I found it near the back of the intake manifold, and feel like hooking it up. Anybody know what the ends... -
Persistent misfire under load only
I’m on a trip, and running into a weird one. First CEL that came on was for fuel trim, bank 1. That’s happened before, very inconsistently. This trip, I’d clear it, and it would almost immediately come back. Until suddenly it didn’t. Today, though, passing a vehicle I floored it and it... -
Hardware key issue
So...getting ready for summer travel season, I decided to make sure things are still working. And the recent thread about getting into the vehicle without a working battery in the key fob made me want to test that, too. Short version is that it worked...once. Long version is that the key was... -
PSA - Kings Cross Automotive, SW Washington state
All, I hesitated to put anything about this up here, but I know some of you live in the area. I am having a really bad experience with Kings Cross Automotive in Washington State, who claims to be an LR expert. Last summer, I'd taken my 2016 LR4 (60k miles) in for fluid changes in both axles, the... -
When to replace coil packs?
Just about to replace my spark plugs at about 65,000 miles. It’s not a trivial job. I’m wondering if I should hold off and order a new set of coils to put in there at the same time? IOW, are these often starting to burn out between 60-100,000 miles, or am I likely good to just use what’s in... -
Zip kit and fluid change, now won't go past 5th
So...in preparation for a long trip (Washington to Michigan), I decided to have a local shop change all fluids, and while they were changing the transmission filter and fluid to go ahead and install a zip kit. I'd been getting occasional sloppy shifts between 1 and 2, and it's a 2016 with the 8... -
Kings Cross Automotive in Vancouver, WA?
Anyone here worked with this independent mechanic in the Portland Metro area? Good mechanics? Avoid them? Someone better to work with north of the river? -
2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!
Hi, all, Feeling pretty incompetent. Floor mats on driver and passenger side front were recently soaked after parking level, outside, in steady rain. I pulled the roof rack off, and opening the sun roof doesn't show a LOT of material there...maybe a thin film of dust. But whatever, it's been a... -
PCRC Rendezvous in Chehalis, WA
The Pacific Coast Rover Club is having a get-together this coming Saturday. Just wondering if anyone else from the forum here might be attending? -
Happy Thanksgiving
Just wanting to wish a Happy Thanksgiving and express sincere gratitude for this group and how many here are willing to jump in with their wisdom and help people. We need to appreciate that wherever we find it these days. So thank you! -
Relocating the two hoses in the right rear wheel well
I'm not sure whether these are plumbed to the heater or the rear AC, but there are two hoses in the right rear wheel arch that really interfere with the ability to get up travel back there in some trail situations. Looking at them, it looks like I could potentially cut the hard line and relocate... -
XLifter and stock settings
I recently got an XLifter, and the documentation is a little thin. So I have a couple of questions. 1. If you install the XLifter system, you end up with basically two sets of controls trying to run in parallel, right? For example, if you have the stock buttons set to off-road mode, and the... -
Lowest possible low profile slider for rear?
Having gotten rid of my van, my LR4 now serves as cargo vehicle for my band's PA. Which includes a subwoofer that is 3'x3'x2' and weighs about 160 pounds. The total cubic footage of the gear basically fills the entire rear of the LR4, and that subwoofer in particular is really tough to get in... -
GAP tool and suspension height
I may not be using the tool right, or not understand the limitations, or something. But... Literally the only things that seems to actually adjust height on my 2016 LR4 are these: - the "height control" screen, which just duplicates the panel control, and - the step-by-step "calibration"...
