Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
He is correct also about the way the plug bracket fits in, I'll get a photo for you if I remember... Yeah - it's pretty easy. -
Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
I also just went through this, I bought the British Atlantic kit that comes with written instructions and there's a video on YouTube (from British Atlantic). Install is pretty basic and needs minimal tools... The hardest part was getting the harness/bracket through the existing hole in the... -
Can't get into Extended mode
Watch some videos first and perhaps see if you can get comfortable with the work? I tend to watch many videos before tackling a job; I then assess which one I trust the most and then oftentimes I'll use it while doing the work. It really depends on the complexity of the work but I try to build... -
Tech inspection failed
Tell them to do it again on their dime, if you specifically asked for OEM that's what they should have installed... -

I hope this doesn't mean you're leaving us? Us newbies need you :cool: -
Can't get into Extended mode
Here's where I documented servicing the valve blocks, I believe others have used the O-rings that I used and have had success: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-reluctant-to-lower-from-off-road-suspension-mode.44636/page-3 -
Can't get into Extended mode
That's seems super expensive; I watched a few videos to see how to do the swap and it looked pretty easy; I'm having trouble to quickly find OEM spring/shock prices but even at $600 or $700 per corner that would still be less in parts than they're quoting for either end... Anyway, why replace... -
Can't get into Extended mode
I believe you can also look at the air springs as they have the original date on them, I believe this is quite well documented on this and other forums. Mine is a 2012 as well (98K miles) and is still on the original springs; I have no intention of replacing them until they fail but I also... -
Threshold scratches....the ocd in me
So I can now classify myself as OCD :), here's a thread I started: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/interior-sill-plate-protection.44915/ So you just used the grips to bend the Discovery 5 plates, any downsides yet? -
Going to be a fun weekend baselining all fluids and filters
And mine the weekend after! This looks like lots of fun... -
Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline
I suggest figuring out what type of compressor you have (in my post I have an AMK and show pictures of it - this can help you identify what you have); then in the GAP tool you can identify what firmware you have. If there's a mismatch between the two (AMK physical compressor and say Hitachi... -
Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline
I literally went through all my valves, everything, trying to chase this issue... I flashed the firmware once the GAP tool arrived and it was like a switch; the code went away and so far didn't come back (it's been 16 months)... I hope you have the same issue and resolution but defer to those... -
Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline
I had a lot of fun with this very same code and also noticed issues an an incline... Here's the thread: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-reluctant-to-lower-from-off-road-suspension-mode.44636/ To cut a long story short, the compressor was incorrectly specified in the RLM ECU... -
Look at the miles
Price looks pretty darn good as well (just over $4K), I know that $5K is the number usually quoted; I also see they mark it as 19hours, my local Indy said 18hours; so good ballpark figure there as well... -

It does seem a little dodgy, also with 3 previous owners...
