LR4 2016, the engine is dead!
Really sorry to hear this, but it sounds like you might be able to get a new engine out of them if you get a decent lawyer. It sounds like the service tech messed up some critical step in the process, or installed defective parts. Either way… -
ASFIR skid plate experiences?
Thank you sincerely, @rolledover . I think I've got it from here, but I'll let you know if I have issues. -
Rear Parking Sensor Alarm
Yes, in the sense that the camera still works with the alarms disabled. -
Relocating backup camera
Perfect! I was hoping someone might have done this. Do the curving parking guide lines work with the same camera? And does the Kenwood display come on automatically when in reverse? -
Hello from Long Island
Wait...are you saying the owner was charged over $2k, twice, to replace the PCV valves and the cabin air filter?? -
Relocating backup camera
Interesting, @AdventureTim ! I did try that exact thing, temporarily, using gaffer tape. It didn't do enough good for me to make it worth doing permanently, as the spare still blocks everything I need to see on the passenger side of the vehicle even from that angle. -
Hello from Long Island
Disappointing that only the rear crossover seems to have been replaced, when they could have replaced all crossovers and the water pump. Even though the fuel sender was R&R'd, I assume it will be covered again under the new recall. Then there are these two: Correction: Repair Order: 32798... -
2015 V6 coolant pipes done. Pics of old pipes
The fact that these seem to crumble right where the O-ring is sure has me wondering. Plastic should be OK for quite awhile, but apart from the seams in the originals occasionally rupturing, the failure point seems to be the base. Yes, the plastic is probably thinner there, but I wonder if... -
Relocating backup camera
Related question: I'd be happy to experiment, especially if I could find a 6-wire harness that worked. Does anyone know what the connector type is? There are 6 flat pins, all on one row, oval connector. -
Relocating backup camera
Has anyone successfully reloaded the camera from the rear door up to the top or something? Most of my view is now the backside of a spare tire. Looks like there are 6 wires to the camera, but I don’t have a wiring diagram. Two wires seem to go to a coax cable (makes sense), and two others... -
Spark Plug Gapping
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a scientific basis for the claim that a wider gap would give you more power or fuel economy. I suppose it’s possible. OTOH, I have seen cases where the gap being too wide caused problems like the spark finding a path through insulation, the coils being unhappy, and... -
Weird suspension fault
That's the coincidence that is making me wonder about your charging system. Could be fine, but in the absence of other data, that might be something to check. Note, too, that this is an oddball alternator as I understand it: PWM regulation instead of just voltage regulation. So I'm not sure... -
Weird suspension fault
Any idea whether the old battery died because it was old, or because your charging system might be iffy? -
Terrafirma hidden winch install
I'd love it if you could elaborate on this a bit. There's a big difference between using a winch to pull out your brother's ATV versus using one to get the LR4 up a steep, muddy hill with roots all over the place. I'm curious about how the duty cycle is on the winch, whether it would draw to... -
Roof Rack Wind Noise Help !
In my opinion, yes. Otherwise you're just changing the nature of the turbulence under the roof rack, rather than directing it over. Here's a potentially easy experiment for you to try: get some gaffer tape (doesn't leave adhesive residue) and extend your current fairing down to the skin using... -
Terrafirma hidden winch install
Reviving this thread as I'm considering doing this same thing. But...I have zero experience with the Terrafirma winch or Superwinch, and I'm wondering if anyone has put this through it's paces? Is it capable enough with a low enough current draw? I'm tempted to try the Sherpa 17k winch, even... -
Roof Rack Wind Noise Help !
I fabricated a faring for my Rhino rack out of lexan that works great. Big difference in design, though: mine extends all the way down to the skin, and I have an edge protector of some weatherstripping there. So it's tight against the actual roof. I don't think that design is anywhere near... -
ASFIR skid plate experiences?
Thank you! I'll look through the mess and see if those mounting brackets are somewhere. -
ASFIR skid plate experiences?
So I bought these skid plates, and they do seem very well-made. But they don't come with instructions, for one thing. The first plate I tried installing is the one covering the suspension air tank. There are a pair of recessed holes in either end, but they don't seem to line up with anything on... -
Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?
Very sorry for your issue, then. -
Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?
Hmmm…you didn’t mention the empty coolant tank before, IIRC. Coolant doesn’t just disappear. Are you sure it was full before? Did you smell anything or see any puddles on the ground when you stopped? Can the engine be turned by hand? -
LR4 New Engine - Why Is The Restricted Performance Light On?
You've had good advice in this thread already. Only thing I'd add is that buying a GAP tool is probably a good investment for you now, too. Clear the code yourself, read the code yourself, etc. And if it does end up having to go back to your engine installer, he has a way of reading real-time... -
LR4 2010 Suspension height issue
You are correct that the documentation and UI with the GAP tool is cryptic. For that very reason, it might be helpful to others if you shared here what they suggested when you reached out to them. -
Eco mode and starters
Fine. I'll change "h a r d o n the starter" (two words, BTW) to "taxing for the starter." -
Eco mode and starters
Probably a dumb question, but then that is my specialty: I've always assumed that the engine start/stop cycle used in vehicles like ours when using "eco mode" is probably pretty darn ******* the starter. I mean, there's no other magic way to spin up the engine, is there? And starters have a...
