That second video is really superb, thanks for finding those. Here's the tool they mentioned:

I'd really like to replace the main shaft that engages the chassis but can't find that part, if anyone knows where to find one I'd be very grateful...
My hitch was absolutely stuck in place when I purchased my LR4 back in 2022 (also no key); if you remove the pin as mentioned above you will see something like this (you can see the small hole on the silver shaft where the spring pin goes through):
I was then able to remove the plate which is...
With the gap tool you can see what the RLM module is flashed with (Hitachi or AMK), I suggest trying the alternative from it's current setting. I had a different issue but applying the correct firmware fixed all my issues; here's the thread where I document my journey...
I shopped around as I found some of the kits had parts I didn't need and other parts missing. I also did my cooling system at the same time (makes sense while you're in there). If you pm me with an email address I'll send you my two separate parts lists (one list for the timing chains and...
Hi @Jimmy Brooks - Please keep me posted as you tinker over the summer and I'll do the same. Having replaced the viscous fan and the battery but not the alternator I'm in a slightly different position from you. FWIW's I purchased the Mahle viscous fan from Rock Auto, it was $323 but now...
Perhaps have the battery checked? Mine was 6 years so you're in the zone.
By "hold down clamp" do you mean the bracket and two threaded shafts that keep the battery in place? Not critical but I wouldn't be happy without this, I wouldn't want it bouncing around in my engine bay... Just my...
Great to know Jimmy - my battery is new a few months ago so keep that in mind. I checked my scanner again today and I'm still code free (not counting my chickens though!). I was getting this code (like you a fuel pump issue):
Which went away with the aforementioned battery change... Keep...
As I mentioned in the other post, mine runs shortly after cold start and then as needed. The car will level itself every two hours when not running (which is why there are threads when diagnosing overnight dropping issues that talk about removing the fuse in the engine bay). Other than this...
My compressor always runs shortly after starting the car when cold. Look at this thread for details on pressure behavior (I believe you have a question in there as well - so I'll look shortly)...
Take a look at this thread for the venting issue, I went down the rabbit hole with that one!

These things are really sensitive to batteries; most batteries have a manufactured date on them...
Looks like you're headed in the right direction, I like the idea of the metal parts but bear in mind that metal also fatigues. OE components are designed and engineered very carefully and undergo extensive validation testing before ever being released; can the same be said for these aftermarket...
I love Elves!
The fact that the Autel cleared the fault and the GAP scanner couldn't find the fault was pretty cool (@Rover Range - do you consider the GAP tool as a generic tool? I realize you get the real tools but us DIYers have to make do with what we can find)! I do have questions about...
The key aspect here is:
"I was ready to put one into my rig when I bought it in 2023, but it didn't need it."
How did you determine this and could OP use a similar approach to come to the same conclusion?
I did my cooling system when I did my chains, here's my parts list for this (for your consideration and perusal):
Timing chain parts, obviously you don't need many of these but again here are more parts for you to consider:
My serpentine belt failed which led to this:
Hope this helps a...
Update (both good and bad! but mostly good). I used the Autel MaxiAP AP200 and got the same code (P0526 but without the additional numbers); so I used it to clear the code, scanning again the code is gone and didn't come back, I then checked it with the GAP tool and see the same! Weird!
I did...
Thank you. It is spinning freely, I did see others mention motor mounts but every time I've looked at the fan it's turning at the same speed as the pulley on which it mounts so I discounted this (I will off-course double check).
It's weird that it doesn't show up in the LR manual, I swear...
Hi Folks,
I've been fighting this one for a while now but this weekend tried getting to the bottom of the issue without success; here's the gap tool screen:
Here's what I've tried so far:
- Installed a new viscous fan (Mahle OEM) - no change
- Checked, reseated, cleaned and applied...
I didn't find the top mounting bolt that difficult on the compressor, in fact it pales in comparison to some of the other "bolt" experiences on this vehicle (thinking the rear suspension valve block air hose nut and valve cover rear bolts on the drivers side, + others!). Don't let this stop you...
