    I think it's time to move on...

    Sorry to hear that. Another option is to move on from your wife and replace the engine j/k

    Check engine light on

    If I recall correctly, there are two electrical plugs that are similar and could get mixed up when doing the rear cross-over. Does your transfer case switch from Hi to Lo and back?

    Colder plugs...worse mileage?

    Gas mileage could drop if the system needs to pull back timing advance from using the wrong plugs.

    Tips for cleaning radiator?

    I drove over some brush and tiny parts of the brush ended up in my radiator (or whatever grill is in front). To clean it I used a soft paint brush, but the grill is not fully cleared. I searched around and the best idea found was using a chemical made for AC condensers in a house. Since the...

    Check engine light on

    The GAP tool was built by reverse-engineering code from the factory tool. Everyone loves it, but it is what it is.

    Rear brake pad sensor replacement

    I didn't even need to remove the tire to fix it, so easy. Thanks!

    Check engine light on

    Did you have a mess with coolant spilling onto connectors? I would inspect the connectors.

    Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?

    I'm super curious about the diagram of the front wheels in the DIC. When I turn the wheels in 4L the diagram appears and when I travel straight it disappears. I can see that I'm turning since the wheel is right in front of me and I already know that I'm turning. I'd have to be pretty lit to be...

    Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?

    I tried out the professional way of switching the transfer case and its a better experience to make the switch while moving. The LR4 doesn't stop impressing and its AWD traction capabilities are amazing.

    Valve cover gasket replacement ($3,200)

    It seems silly to pay for that. My shop charges $200 hr (the most expensive) and with 8hrs of work its $1600 + parts which aren't that much in the Land Rover world. If that indy breaks the injectors then they should pay for them. I'd take it somewhere else since they are unable to remove the...

    Rear brake pad sensor replacement

    My brake light came on and said my pads are worn. That was a surprise because I just did the brakes about 1-2k miles ago. I'm going to inspect them, but I'd like to remove the sensors and **** the light. How is that accomplished?

    2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage

    That looks fun. Nor Cal is super nice and at 10'k feet its 20F cooler. I'd like to show that vid to all the Toyota overlanding fan bois on reddit ha-ha j/k. One of those rocks looks pretty tall, I may have wanted sliders for it. Did you brush or scrape at all?

    Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?

    I'm looking forward to learning how to shift into low. Shifting to high sounds easier because when going into low there are more constraints. A minimum speed of 2 MPH and in parallel the vehicle speed needs to be declining. Maybe there is a check to deny the switch to low the speed is between 0...

    code P2096

    Measure the O2 output from a OBD2 reader and compare it with the other side. If its lean then you'll know when its fixed because the numbers will change w/out needing to wait for the light to come on.

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    Wow, that is a serious knock problem. Its strange that it didn't progress and that one day it was fine and the next it was there. I'm curious about the benefit of the new 2013 vs a reman engine. Does it have a better body on it?

    Noise coming from left rear area

    Either backing off the star wheel worked around the problem or the rock fell out because the problem isn't reproducing anymore.

    Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?

    The owners manual says that only experience off-roaders should do it. I've been stopping first and then make the change in Neutral. It would be more convenient to switch while rolling. What are the risks of changing the transfer case from 4Hi to 4Lo and back while moving? Is there risk of it...

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    Conventional oil meets spec and the manual doesn't say specifically to use synthetic. Yes, I know people put synthetic in it.

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    It is not overthinking it to consider using non-synthetic.

    Not even close. I looked hard at buying one and was shopping for about 3 months. I didn't want to pay overinflated values for a 4Runner and the XTerras are just as reliable. Then a LR4 came up on Craigslist and I stopped looking at anything other than LR4's after I test drove it.

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    I looked at the specs to see if I've been buying the right oil and Mobil 1 isn't meeting the Ford spec WSS M2C925-A called out in the manual. I was curious if I could run regular non-synthetic oil and just change it at 3K like I've done twice already. Interestingly, the owners manual reads "In...

    DIY Oil Change for LR4

    I've never heard of it, but if you like the European oil then you might like Liqui Moly. Its German and a lot of people suggested it to me once I stepped into the Land Rover world. I buy Mobile 1 only because I can get it cheaper off the shelf.

    Noise coming from left rear area

    Thanks for the input. I approached the problem today with and decided to back-off the star wheel. That was something I could do here and now because I need to keep driving it. I will need to attempt to pull the rotor off again before making an appointment for someone else to fix it. I have a 10...

    For the cost of a new remain all said and done you could buy a Nissan Pro-X4 with a rear locker. Japanese reliability, body on frame and they were offered with a manual transmission.

    Noise coming from left rear area

    I think you are right because the wheel isn't loose when in the air. In addition, I called a shop for a bearing quote and he thought it wasn't a bearing because the issue replicated at 5 MPH and he thought that bearing symptoms normally occur at higher speed. Either way, I will need to take it...
