Hardware key issue
Right. I did try that, but TBH I couldn’t see down inside enough to make out whether the cable case is intact all the way or not. But the symptoms are just like in the video I linked to above. So I ordered the part and hope for the best. -
Hardware key issue
Found a good YT vid here that seems to describe what is likely happening. I was thinking it was an electrical issue, but no, it's mechanical and likely not in the lock mechanism at all. So cable ordered, and meanwhile hoping that I won't need emergency entry. -
Hardware key issue
I did work open the little "door" on the opening and pushed a lot of compressed air through it, in case I'd overloaded it with graphite. Some came out, but no change in the behavior. -
Hardware key issue
So...getting ready for summer travel season, I decided to make sure things are still working. And the recent thread about getting into the vehicle without a working battery in the key fob made me want to test that, too. Short version is that it worked...once. Long version is that the key was... -
2011 LR4 Lux Non-HD Head Unit Replacement
Is the pop coming from the speakers? Might be an intermittent power issue that affects both the power amplifier(s) and the camera? -
Zip kit and fluid change, now won't go past 5th
Ah! Apologies. And thanks for the interest. Yes, after a couple of interviews with the shop's insurance company, I ended up getting a check from insurance that covered air fare and the transmission. Transmission is still working great, and I can still highly recommend Marsh Transmission in... -
heated windshield on -> voltage drops to 12.7
Aren’t these alternators PWM? I thought we basically shouldn’t expect to read “normal” voltages on them? But if you’re right about the 100A draw, it sounds like you have a short to ground somewhere. IDK why the fuse wouldn’t blow. -
Extend seat rail or increase stopping point distance?
I'm 6'2" with a 36" inseam, and feel like I have enough legroom. You must be a long drink of water! I'm not aware of any software setting that might adjust this. I am guessing that there is a switch that senses when it is "all the way back." If that switch has been bumped, bent, relocated, or... -
PSA - Kings Cross Automotive, SW Washington state
Probably true. Other performance mods are also not necessary. However, I have reason to believe that the filter and fluid in the transmission were fine and operating correctly before, but with the ZipKit I am finding shifts to be firmer and smoother at the same time, and I believe my mileage may... -
PSA - Kings Cross Automotive, SW Washington state
I don't think I explained it well. There WAS NO clutch damage, and no real issue with the transmission when it went in. They incorrectly installed the ZipKit in a way that made it so multiple gears were trying to engage at the same time. The clutches tore themselves apart. They caused this... -
AirDownGearUp SS1: Drawer, Kitchen, Storage and Sleeping Platform Systems for Land Rover LR4
I'd love to see what the mounting rail looks like, hear about how difficult it is to remove the system temporarily (I have to haul PA gear for my band), and so forth. But it looks very promising! -
PSA - Kings Cross Automotive, SW Washington state
Marsh Transmission rebuilt the existing transmission. They said all of the parts that weren’t directly involved in this issue looked new. A few parts near the clutches were heat damaged as the clutches were fighting one another. -
PSA - Kings Cross Automotive, SW Washington state
All, I hesitated to put anything about this up here, but I know some of you live in the area. I am having a really bad experience with Kings Cross Automotive in Washington State, who claims to be an LR expert. Last summer, I'd taken my 2016 LR4 (60k miles) in for fluid changes in both axles, the... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Oh, dude! You have my sincere sympathy. There’s hardly a worse feeling than being so close to success only to have a monkey wrench thrown into it. Here’s hoping it is something simple! Hang in there. -
When to replace coil packs?
I gave up trying to be a contortionist and spent the effort to get the plastic trays out of the way. One for the main battery, and one for the auxiliary battery and its charger. Even then, the A/C lines are in the way on the driver's side, and you have to work around them.
