    Driver side window leaking > Window channel replacement method?

    Nope. It does seem odd but I chalk it up to wear and tear.

    Driver side window leaking > Window channel replacement method?

    Hey everyone, it's been a minute. Wife complained for water leaking into the cabin when getting the truck washed and it appears to be coming from the driver side window. Coincidentally I began noticing a bit more wind noise so most likely related. Confirmed by spraying the door with hose and...

    bad lower ball joint lead to howling?

    I would hear a dull, rhythmic, low-frequency sound when I'd take right-handed jug handles (Jersey). Ended up being the wheel bearings (90k miles)

    Misfiring Cyl 2/4/6 ?? 2015 LR4

    I had a V8 with rough idle, inconsistent acceleration, emission inspection failure, and misfires on one bank. Dealership said it was the the fuel injectors, second option from an Indy was skepticism. The Indy had an old school diagnostic tablet (all I can remember was it was bulky and blue) and...

    Rattling/Vibrating/Grinding/Ringing noise when turning at low RPM

    It could be the wheel bearings. I picked it up at 80k and I would hear/feel a rhythmic grind when turning around jug-handles and the wheel would vibrate a higher speeds even with a wheel balancing. Had mine replaced by my indy and it's been quiet and smooth ever since.

    Rebuild hitachi compressor or buy new aftermarket compressor?

    Atlantic British provides a full kit including the compressor and relay, not the cheapest but given what I quoted by the dealership ($1800 LOL) this seems like a deal and "plug-and-play" https://www.roverparts.com/suspension/air-suspension-parts/LR023964/

    Cleaning OEM 2015 LR4 Rims - DO's & DON'TS

    +1 on Sonax, smells like a$$ but it does the job well. I'll usually spray the rims prior to washing so it gets some time to soak. Get yourself a stiff brush to get in the cracks. I also found that 3M adhesive remover sprayed on a microfiber cloth works well to get really tough build-up. I...

    Windshield wind noise.

    When I went to replace my worn-out A-pillars I was greeted with a sloppy auto adhesive job on the driver-side. Heat gun made short work of it thankfully.

    LR4 Trailer Hitch Receiver Needed!

    I ended up getting this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ES0UDS/ after trying the type of receiver mentioned above. Install wasn't that tough and I like the look (Not my LR4) Also picked up this hitch cover https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072M4YY49 :

    Windshield wind noise.

    Are the pillar trim panels completely attached to the clips or are the clips loose? I had to replace the clips on my passenger side because it would pop loose at speed on the highway. If you do pop em off, you'll need to replace the clips anyway https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H87JQS9/

    How To - DIY - 2016 LR4 - F/R Crossover Pipes, Water Pump, Thermostat, Coolant, Supercharger Oil, Supercharger Coupling

I've got a 2012 105k, wanted to do it myself but time was of the essence, luckily my indy had downtime and was able to replace the that and the crossovers...

    2015 US LR4 Tailgate won't open

    I had to replace the entire actuator, got the whole kit from Atlantic British, pretty striaghtfoward when you watch the videos out there. Ended up zip-tying the S hook to the actuator for good measure to avoid the potential slippage. Hopefully you can get it open, I lucked out as it was...

    Upper Trunk Won’t Open

    I think you'll prolly need to zip tie the latch on the lower tailgate in the open position. Atlantic British sells the whole kit but you really just need the actuator for the latch. Honestly its worth the money to just get the whole thing (actuator, latch, water shredder) and sleep well at night.
