Air in Brake Lines
I noticed on my last trip that my brakes were taking a bit too much pedal travel for my liking. I followed a couple of on-line tutorials and zeroed in on a bad master cylinder. No biggie. Ordered one in and replaced and bled brakes. Pedal travel was as new, and all seemed good. Over the... -
Diagnosing AC Trouble
Anyone have any relevant experience diagnosing hvac problems? I'm conversant in auto ac systems, but don't have a lot of hands on experience. While driving, my truck will normally blow cold air as expected. However, it will intermittently start blowing warm air despite no changes being made... -
Be Professional, Be Polite, But...
have a plan to **** everyone you meet. 10 years in on my 2012, which has been to hell and back, and I finally had my first air suspension failure. I was somewhere above 13,000 feet on Kendall Mountain near Silverton, Colorado when the Rover had what sounded like a fart, then a small pop and... -
Remind Me Again Why We Love These Things?
A buddy asked me recently if I would consider selling my Rover, which got my mind to thinking how I could ever put a price on this thing, which led me having a beer and trying from memory to list everything I have repaired or modified on this thing. That led to more beer to numb the pain. If... -
Random LR4 Death and Resurrection
Drove the Rover to the store over the weekend and locked the door via the touchpad on the handle. Came back out and unlocked with my key fob. Got in the truck and it was dead as doornail. No interior lights, no start when pushing button, no accessory mode or info screen light up, locks... -
Keyless Entry Antenna Location
My truck is throwing a consistent B1335-00(68) fault, which is "Front triangulation/loadspace anenna". Service manual instructs you to check wiring to and replace if necessary the "Center Console Load-Space Antenna". However, it provides no guidance on where that antenna module is actually... -
Need Some Quick Info On Valve Block Replacement
Replacing a valve block and wondering how to properly connect air lines to a factory new one with these white inserts. Do these pull out and air line push in without removing the brass fitting, or do I need to remove the brass nuts, fit them over the air lines and reconnect. I have swapped a... -
Quick Compressor Replacement Question
So after 10ish years, 100K miles, and a ton of mods to the system, I am starting to get my first suspension faults when it is cold outside, so I think I am just going to replace the compressor and valve blocks in hopes of getting another decade of solid service from them. Having not done this... -
Reverse Light Wiring Question
Has anyone figured out a way to add a switch to their reverse lights to activate them whenever desired, but still retain the stock functionality of switching on when shifting into reverse? I have been looking around to add some work lights to my rig, but placing them on the roof rack means they... -
High Pressure Fuel Pump Question
Are there 2? Are they the same part numbers, or different part numbers if they are 2? Sorry, I don't have mine in the driveway right now to crawl under and look. Trying to round up the parts I want to replace while the mill is out. -
Question for Those Who Have Done Timing Chains - Cam Adjusters
I'm currently acquiring parts to dig into this while my truck is semi-disassembled anyway. For those who have done the job, or had it done. Were your camshaft adjusters/phasers replaced? I'm wondering if it is worth the extra $1,200.00 or so to replace these while the engine is dismantled. I... -
djkaosone to the Courtesy Phone - Oil Catch Cans
@djkaosone I recall you installing two catch cans when you did your timing chains. Are you still happy with the results? Did you have to fabricate your own bracket? Any special fittings needed for the plumbing? Any other issues? I'm strongly considering doing this before I put mine back... -
My Day for Dumb Questions-Engine Rotation Direction
When standing in front of the vehicle looking at the engine, the direction of rotation is clockwise, correct? Want to double check before I start spinning it to close the valves for walnut blasting, as spinning it backwards can cause timing to skip. -
My Rover Ate A Bolt - Anyone Help With Part Number or Specs???
The monster that lives in the bottom of my Rover that feeds on loose hardware has consumed one of the four torx screws that secures the rear crossover pipe (heater manifold) to the cylinder heads. I am flat unable to find either a part number or specs on these so I can order in a replacement... -
Cooling Fan Removal
Anyone found a rental set at AutoZone, O'Reilly or similar that works before I shell out for a set? I believe 36mm is needed? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks. -
Rotating 5.0L Engine Manually
I'm about to pull the intake to replace the front/rear crossovers, so I'm thinking I might buy the needed bits and walnut blast the intake ports/valves while I am in there. Anything to keep in mind on these when rotating the engine manually to close the intake valves on the cylinder being... -
Parasitic Draw
So I'm looking for things to occupy my time instead of watching this quarantine flush my business down the toilet, and decided to take a little dive into the electrics on my LR4. To set up a baseline, I charged the battery for a full 24 hours, and then let the truck sit roughly another 30... -

Avslash's Sleeping Platform - A Few More Pics Added
Here we go for those interested. Going to post a few pictures of the finished (mostly) product, and then will fill in some relevant details as time allows. Firstly, all credit for the rear platform goes to user Porkj from Expoportal who was kind enough to work out the original dimensions and... -
When A Rover Guy Has Too Many Beers with a Vector Artist...
You end up with a personal logo that encompasses your three happy things in life. Rovers, Rock'n Roll, and firearms. If he had thought to include a beer reference, it would have been perfection, but I still sent home with some new magazines for his trouble. I'm not sure I have ever seen my... -
The Quest for A Durable Front Crossover Pipe
has begun. Calls out to a couple of local fab shops on my end. But, I'm going to need a sample. Does anyone have a failed crossover pipe in their junk pile they could send me that a shop could use as a template in trying to replicate this part? Shoot me a PM please. -
Well, She Had to Ride Piggyback on the Way to Her Final Major Upgrade
I had to trailer "the goat" about 150 miles today for her last planned mechanical upgrade. I finally found someone I was comfortable with to install the ARB front locker that has been sitting in my garage since a bit before Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. I had one dry run to a shop before, only... -
Adaptive Headlight ECU Module
Can anyone verify where to find this on a North American left hand drive model? I thought it was in the passenger compartment foot area at the bottom of the A-pillar, but after looking around, I am having no luck finding it. -
LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy
Any LR techs on here, or anyone else ever figured a way to bypass or defeat the "smart" charging strategy these trucks use? I came across a report from a supposed LR engineer at one point that stated that the armored versions that LR produces do not have this "benefit". I would assume that... -
Air Suspension Fittings and Tubing
Has anybody found a decent source for spare air tubing and the BSSF(?) air fittings used on the tops of the air struts and the valve blocks? Looking for something other than the dealer, as I assume that would be a worst-case scenario pricewise. Maybe my search fu is weak, but it didn't seem...
