Hiya folks,
I've got a North American 2013 LR4 5.0l V8 currently located in the UK right now, having been imported to the UK from the US during a relocation a couple of years back.
At present, the LR4 is in need of a mechatronic unit replacement. My mechanic is a UK LR specialist but they have never worked on a Discovery 4 V8 before because they were not available in the UK market -- the closest the UK got was a Ranger Rover V8. Mechanic says the Ranger Rover V8 mechatronic unit can be replaced with the transmission in situ, but the clearance on the LR4 looks too tight and they are suggesting the body will have to be separated from the Chassis and the transmission removed. They have no idea how long that will take.
Can anyone comment on the normal procedure for replacing the mechatronic unit on the LR4 V8?
With thanks,
