    Loosing a little bit of coolant

    I smelt burning coolant in my LR4 while offroading the other day, but the level was the same the next day. Historically, I've been finding my leaks by looking for wet areas and tracing back to the source. A black light would be sweet.

    maintenance history since new 2013

    Its important to journal, but I'm not getting analytical about costs. There really isn't anything out there like the LR4. You'd never see a loaded 4Runner or a Land Cruseir at the top of the grade first before the LR4. The 305CI V8 has way more balls and that by itself is priceless.

    Showoff Your LR4

    The LR4 is amazing off-road. I finally took it out of the city after buying it in July and doing a lot of work to it to address known issues. I appreciate everyone's help here because I couldn't have done it without the community. I found a dirt bike trail to take it on with a full load of gear...

    Front brake pads on 2013LR4 funny looking weight?

    If the weather is bad (wind or overnight rain/snow) then I'll work out of the back of it. I found a comfortable low-profile chair and a desk that fits inside the back. I'm looking forward to it tbh. Normally I work out of a big canvas 8 man tent that I setup an office in that also has windows...

    Front brake pads on 2013LR4 funny looking weight?

    I swapped the front rotors out and the front squeal went away! At least it went away after bedding them and some initial driving. I'll test it out more tomorrow when I run errands again. I got the pads smoking hot, let them cool and repeated twice. Now just the rears squeal when backing into a...

    Lr4 Brakes

    Does putting the parking brake into the mounting position back the shoes off further than when the star wheel is backed all the way off?

    Lr4 Brakes

    Ah, that is probably it. The manual says "Using the Land Rover approved diagnostic system, drive the parking brake to the mounting position." and I researched that to mean to fully retract the parking brake. So that is why the rear rotors were stuck on there.

    Front brake pads on 2013LR4 funny looking weight?

    I did what I could at the time to service the breaks. Security called me out previously for working on it in the parking lot while doing the front cross over, so I was out in the street with cars driving by trying to do the brakes. I'm in the middle of packing up and moving out of my apartment...

    Lr4 Brakes

    The front rotors were in good condition and I didn't need to replace them nor the pads even though I bought new ones. That is what I get for not checking first. Carfax reported the pads having 20k miles on them but looked like only 10k of wear missing. The front rotor surfaces looked good, no...

    Front brake pads on 2013LR4 funny looking weight?

    My Ferodo front right vibrates or squeaks. Strange how one front side squeals and the other doesn't. Its quiet when cold too. I'm wondering if the pad clips are tweaked, the vibration damper weight is upside and outside.

    Tires

    For a treadwear of 620 only getting 18k miles is daylight robbery. I would expect at least 40k mi from them. The Pilot Sport models are good tires, but the life of those would be about 20k miles. Michelln is up to dirty tricks sometimes. I had a Z06 Corvette that came with Z rated Michelins. It...

    Dual engine air intake channels

    I noticed after the shop that did my timing chain work that my diff breather was missing. Apparently it was stuffed out of the way, but the original location where it was before I brought it in was wrong, illustration reference is here. It is supposed to be mounted to the rad like this:

    Lr4 Brakes

    It had the round metal weight mounted to the pad backing plate that I installed on the upside and outer side for the fronts. There weren't any shims aside from what was already stuck onto the backing plate for the compound, I guess it could have been a plastic shim. It wasn't bare metal for...

    Seeking LR4 inline thermostat and crossover pipe Beta Testers

    Lr4 Brakes

    I put the Ferodo brand compound on today with new metal clips and bolts. I bed them on the existing rotors because I couldn't remove them to put on the new Zimmerman rotors on. I tried beating on the rotor hard with a hammer and my ears started to hurt from the noise so I caved and just cleaned...

    How did you remove the factory knobs, did you just pry them off with a screw driver?

    Aftermarket Carplay/Android Auto

    Nice install and the screen is closer to the driver. I had thoughts of a car pc and picked out this monitor and wasn't sure about mounting but saw this beanbag mount. I have bespoke software that uses google maps, a GPS and overlays for public land (BLM/Forest) boundaries and weather so that...

    Anyone know what this plastic thing is?

    Seems like a better way to go compared to a windshield sticker. We don't have tolls around here in Nevada. The LR4 came from CA and I don't remember traveling on a toll road there. Maybe the Bay Area has them.

    Anyone know what this plastic thing is?

    I finally got my license plates today and I received the LR4 in July lol. I had been driving around with expired paper plates and cops didn't seem to notice or care. When I first got my LR4 first thing I did was pull the front plate and set it on a shelf. Now I'm re-visting the plate holder so...

    bad lower ball joint lead to howling?

    It sounds like you discovered a new problem while investigating the howling. I think howling noise would be from the wheel bearing and not the ball joint if you isolated the origin to the wheel. I'd replace the poly bushings and that whole control arm that they came in with a Land Rover brand...

    I took it back to them and they got more of the dirty fluid out. It looks better.
