LR4 vs Defender
Its great that everyone here wants to compare the Defender to the LR whatever but its strange that no one is prefacing with the fact that it hasn't been marketed for or intended to be a replacement for those vehicles. It happens to be similar size and some features but beyond that it is its own...- Kenneth Kahan

Horrible grinding sound when starting engine
If it still starts ok most of the time then the flywheel is probably still serviceable. The bendix (or the mechanism that kicks the starter gear on the starter motor) is not always fully engaging the flywheel so the starter gear is spinning against the edge of the flywheel teeth. Yes they have...- Kenneth Kahan

Defender(s) making a massive scene recovering a 20ton truck
They have always been strong. Years ago with my classic 1989 I found a semi blocking a major street because he high centered turning into a driveway with a big dip. He had been waiting for an hour for a tow truck blocking 4 lanes. I hooked up using his chain to my hitch and in low range on...- Kenneth Kahan

Squeaking second row seats
I had the same problem with my RRS and found the greasing and tightening didn't work. But when I loosened the bolts so I could actually move the seats a little bit it stopped. So I put some washers under the bolts to pick up more of the seat frame area just as a hunch and the noises went away...- Kenneth Kahan

Differential, transfer case, driveshaft ... Your guess?
I've heard sounds like that and they are related to exhaust flow. You may have a catalytic converter or muffler that is coming apart inside and at the right air pressure creates a resonance just like air howling around a building or what you hear from the front grill on some cars.- Kenneth Kahan

LR4 Seats and Interior rattles
This will help a lot of people. I have a 2008 RRS (83000 mi) and had the same tick from the rear seats which is basically the same in many ways as the LR series. I finally found the problem after weeks of looking. My noise came from the right hand back seat. It was the mounting bolts to the...- Kenneth Kahan

Driver's Side Rear Cargo Compartment...
That is strange that yours is almost ineffective as I have a 08 sport with the Logic 7 and speaker in the tailgate and if I turn up the Sub the booming can sound more like some of those after market systems that rattle sheet metal.- Kenneth Kahan

Gas Tank Filler & Check Engine Light & Gas Cap Light
A faulty DMTL pump will cause the light and message. This an emissions device that looks for leaks but only under certain conditions which is why yours goes on intermittently. It will not check if the tank is more than say 3/4 full. It will check only after the vehicle is shut down after...- Kenneth Kahan

Back Seat Noise
I found the odd problem. On one of the bolts holding the seat down, when tight made the noise. If I loosened the bolt then the noise went away. So I isolated which bolt by loosening or removing one at a time until I knew the culprit. Permanent solution was to add a thick washer under the...- Kenneth Kahan

Replacing DMTL pump on LR3
I have a 2008 Sport SC diagnosed with the DMTL failure. I was able to replace it myself with a little advice from my local dealer. First remove the spare, then remove the spare tire heat shield (four nuts). Remove the three hoses on the passenger side of vehicle by squeezing the right part of...- Kenneth Kahan
