2016 LR4 Dead... need help!
We bought our lr4 in 2017 with a battery of unknown age. It died in 2023, a good run in my book. Many short trips, left parked for weeks on end. It is our family road trip vehicle so does occasionally go on many hour trips. Charging system seems OK to me. -

Can't get into Extended mode
Off-road height, not extended, though. It's just to keep you from having to crank the jack with a load on it as much, you can certainly do it from access height if you wanted. -

Can't get into Extended mode
I have that jack and it works well in the garage. You're not taking that jack on the road with you though! -

Can't get into Extended mode
Droop is droop, you can lift a wheel off the ground in any suspension mode, but starting with the suspension in off-road or extended height means you're not lifting a load as far, but that's it. Just keep cranking and you'll get there. -

Can't get into Extended mode
A smaller bottle jack under the lower control arm looks like a much more expedient way of lifting just one wheel off the ground without dealing with droop. -

Can't get into Extended mode
You don't need extra blocks to get the wheels off the ground with the factory jack, you just need to keep cranking it. The block is just to keep it from sinking into the ground. -

Can't get into Extended mode
I've found the factory jack to be quite satisfactory, especially since it has positive engagement in the frame thanks to the central dowel going into holes in the frame rail. The footprint is small if you're on loose ground, but the same can be said for a lot of bottle jacks. The biggest issue... -

Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order
I saw a GX550 recently and thought it was pretty good looking. Do the rear seats create a flat load space? -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
Can you pull the transmission without lifting the body off the frame? -

Front Control Arm Replacement on LR4 and saw a warning light come on
Both upper and lower control arms, or just the lower? The height sensors connect to the upper arm. Though I'd expect if they broke something it would be consistent. Do you have a way of reading the code? -

Help identifying sound coming from engine bay
with the engine off, does the cooling fan spin freely, or does it rub on the shroud? The other thing it could be is one of the idler pulleys for the serpentine belt going bad. Release the belt, and then see if all pulley spin freely. -

Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)
Nope, just one per side, the assumption is the axles wear about the same side to side. -

Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)
It doesn't look very new for being 4 days old. -

Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)
Looks like the rear brake wear sensor. The warning light likely came on while the thing was coming loose but now that it's dangling and doesn't have a connection to ground it's "reset". -

2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
Also a transmission pan leak might be indicative of a prior pan swap/fluid flush, which would likely be a positive indicator that the prior owner at least tried to keep it maintained. -

2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
Mine is off by quite a bit, I use fuelly to track actual, and for the most part it seems consistent. I'm lucky to get 17 on the highway, around town it's more like 11. What's the procedure for correcting it using the IID tool? -

ftillier's maintenance history
I don't think anyone should be scared. There's very little on the market that ticks all the boxes the LR4 ticks. If it wasn't so good you wouldn't have invested into making it an overlander. Part of that investment is hobby, part of it travel expenses. -

ftillier's maintenance history
People often ask what things cost, I figured I'd add some data for folks to help make decisions. I don't think it's terrible, to be honest - it's been a great vehicle for our family of 6 and has found a renewed purpose as an adventure vehicle now that kids are growing up. I probably should... -

What's the ford part number, and what other models was it installed on? I could only make out the 60255 bit. -

ftillier's maintenance history
Some of the big ticket items were preventative maintenance: diff/transfer case fluids, cooling system, power steering fluid flush, tranny fluid flush. Those were expensive, and end up making things look worse than they are, and should be relatively infrequent given how much we drive it. Other... -
