    My new LR4 Journey

    Looking good. I started my journey last July with a '12. I was originally staying clear of Land Rover because of the reliability reputation. But it was time for a new car and I had a list of what I wanted. Then I found the LR4. I take it overlanding out in the west but I also live the city life...

    My 2012 LR4 is not starting anymore, help please

    It may not be the starter, some (not all) of these mechanics out there are not that great and will take you for everything you have that they think they can get away with. An air compressor at 57k mi would make more sense. I don't think my starter has been replaced and its at 105k mi. I was...

    New engine noise

    Thanks for the feedback. I was ready to go overlanding full-time tomorrow but last week I took it to a shop to fix a torn ball joint boot on the a-arm under warranty and when I got it back there was a rattle in the front end when going over bumps. So I need to take it back a 3rd time tomorrow...

    I think mold got on my seats

    I tried some Lysol. I sprayed it on and kept it wet for 3.5 minutes (directions call for 3 mins). Maybe in a few days the mold will go away. Its getting warm and I'm surprised to see the mold there in these temps (97F).

    Lr4 Brakes

    I pulled the Ferodo fronts because of a squeak and the squeak didn't silence completely. The noise did not seem to be caused by the pad differences. I might try putting the old pad brackets that fit onto the caliper on and see if that changes anything. The rears are still quiet and I'm enjoying...

    New engine noise

    I tried to hear the problem again and fired it up while warm, let it idle for 5 minutes and it sounds fine. I went for a freeway run to buy steaks 15 min each way and at home it sounds like the vid below that I just took. It sounds fine? Maybe a faint knock but that was there I think. If the...

    New engine noise

    The noise came back. It seems like it needs to be warmed up. I might have spun a rod bearing but it does sound like its coming from the top somewhat so I was hoping for a valve train problem. Before doing the timing chain I thought hard about buying a new reman instead but I didn't really need a...

    New engine noise

    Today the engine sounds fine. I'm giving myself a heart attack over it lol. I recall being on the Colorado River and firing it up. It sounded like it had a rod knock and I was absolutely crushed because I've had rod knocks before. But it too went away. It seems like an oiling mechanism isn't...

    Thanks for the follow-up. How many miles do you have on it?

    Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...

    It was 90F today and I had the windows down. I'm trying to save the AC for when I might die without it lol. When it hits 115F - 120F the AC doesn't do much to keep it cool driving around town out but its better than nothing. Right now it works really well, but I don't need it.

    New engine noise

    I've noticed an engine noise that wasn't there before and I'm curious about it. Before (first 30 sec is enough): Now: Any ideas on what the noise is from?

    How many total miles when the compressor went out? I have 105k on mine and I'm wondering when it might do the same thing.

    Sorry to hear about your AC problems. How many miles did your compressor have on it before it locked up?

    Lr4 Brakes

    I pulled the front Ferodos off today and put the Land Rover brand pads back on because the front left squeaks when pulling into a parking stall and the pads that I pulled off probably had 20k+ miles left and never made any noise at all. In the bottom pic the left side is the Land Rover brand...

    Tech inspection failed

    So I get my LR4 back and now it has a metallic clack on the same side they replaced the control arm. Its pretty bad and I can hear it clack when hitting the reflectors in the road. It turns out they are using aftermarket control arms and not Land Rover brand like I asked for. They are API brand...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    Yeah, that is a lot of dough but I'm not confident I can do it on my own out on the street. The front shocks are $1,082 each, the rears are $1,125 each and then $525 to install them. The air system isn't leaking, I had it tested a couple months ago and I didn't notice any drop at all. I'm...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    So I go out to work on the LR4 and it doesn't do extended mode lol. The shop told me it was working fine as did the mechanic. It could be coincidental that they needed to take my money over the phone and the foreman guy was gone when I got there. Long story short they didn't know extended mode...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    I called a few shops on my carfax history and found on 11/15/19 at 64k mi they installed a new AMK compressor, relay and an install kit. One shop I called said to raise the suspension and see if the compressor runs more. Would a good test be to raise the suspension in off-road mode, measure the...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    I have my LR4 back from the shop to get the extended mode fixed and they needed to re-calibrate the air suspension. I started asking questions about the air suspension fail points to the mechanic guy and he thought if my air bags haven't been replaced then I need to replace them and the air...

    What is the behavior when it doesn't start?

    2016 LR4 Dead... need help!

    No, it might be faster but that is how long I have the charger on. I've never timed it, but I do walk up to it with a volt meter to measure it. I was thinking about mounting a volt meter on the outside of the box.

    Looking for thoughts on leak under engine block

    The source could be many areas but some possibilities would be a brake vacuum pump or a power steering leak. But that looks like engine oil so that would lean more towards the brake vacuum pump. The steering rack is near that area too. I wouldn't let it go unless you don't have the cash and need...

    2016 LR4 Dead... need help!

    I love it when I charge my battery, it feels good. Its been a couple months since I've laid a good charge on it. I've got a 60 amp charger for it and let the algorithm do its thing over a 1/2 day or so and then it rests at about 13.6V. I tried the battery tender jr and that thing is a pile and a...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    Do you mean while out of extended mode the factory jack will lift high enough? What I was seeing was the air suspension starts bleeding while I start jacking and seems like it is fighting against what I'm trying to do. I'm pretty sure I've wasted effort jacking that thing only to not get the...
