Help identifying sound coming from engine bay
I'm having all sorts of problems today... Please see attached - I'm trying to identify the issue that's causing a squeaking / chirping sound out of my engine bay. It's more noticeable at idle, but also occurs at speed. It seemed to go away after idling for 15 minutes straight, but has... -
Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)
Update: Gently tracked the cable with my hand behind the strut hoping it was simply the old cable left-over and not removed properly. Unfortunately it was still connected, and after a gentle tug it came loose. The brake wear warning is back on my dash. Definitely not a new brake pad sensor... -
Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)
No it does not. This is the second time I've had something odd happen after being in the shop. I don't know if I should bring it back to the same shop that may have tried to screw me out of parts or go to another mechanic and see if they can determine if the parts I was charged for on the... -
Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)
Update: Went back to the mechanic today and explained what I'd found - he was apologetic and immediately came outside to inspect the work. Thankfully the NEW brake wear sensor was installed (I feel like an idiot for not looking closer by taking the wheel off) but must have slipped out of the... -
LR4 "Gearbox not in Park" - Dial shifter stuck in Drive
Title says it all. Wife came home this morning and the dial shifter wouldn't shift out of Drive. I activated the e-brake and turned the car off (probably not a great idea?) thinking I would disconnect the battery for 10-15 minutes and see if that helped. It didn't. Now the car won't start, the... -
Lower control arm replacements
Had my brakes swapped yesterday and the mechanic noticed my LCA's were making noise when the car came to a stop. I hadn't noticed anything up to that point (not saying it didn't exist), but when he hopped in and did a rolling stop at slow speeds, the sound was much more noticeable. He also... -
Replacement engine
I can't help you with sourcing a new / remanufactured engine so apologies for that, however I'm curious what your stance is on simply sourcing another used LR4 instead of going down the path of rebuilding an engine? Even at a cost of $10,500, you're close to 1/3 the cost of a newer (2012+ model... -
Showoff Your LR4
I agree with @ryanjl - you've lost approach angle, front ground clearance, and from the photos it looks like you've effectively nullified your ability to use the front factory tow hook. I'd say losing those three qualities for the marginal protection bull bars offer is not worth it. -

4x4 sPOD or comparable power distribution suggestions?
I haven't pulled the trigger yet on either - but I'm leaning toward the SP-9100 primarily due to the cost difference. Once I do the install I'll make sure to swing back around and update this post with how it went and what I think. -
Anyone running Tuffant steel wheels yet?
18" ET44 on Nitto Ridge Grapplers 265/65/18 which have performed beautifully in a lot of different situations and environments. Pictures below. -
4x4 sPOD or comparable power distribution suggestions?
I'm not a fan of cutting into the interior either which is why the 4x4 sPOD looked like a good option. You run an ethernet cable through the fire-wall and connect to the switch panel that can be mounted using tradition suction-cup/sticky mounts in the cabin. That sounds awesome but I would... -
4x4 sPOD or comparable power distribution suggestions?
I purchased the ProSpeedUK Discovery 4 Front Spotlight Mounts with two TripleR-750 LazerLamps and I'm now in the process of...looking for a way to actually hook them up. I probably should've figured that out before I actually bought the lights, but here we are. Since I know next to nothing... -
HD vs non-HD package LR4
I'm not sure my hood or visibility would appreciate a massive 100lb spare tire mounted on the front. BUT, don't tempt me. -
HD vs non-HD package LR4
I have a non-stock 32in. tire, and unfortunately I don't think it'll fit without deflating. Heard different?
