Another Defender hint?
I took a look at the article Catman posted, and the industry experts perfectly echo the sentiments of this forum: "The problems are significant including: competing products which cannibalise sales from within JLR and therefore do not deliver sufficient growth, over emphasis on vehicle... -
75k mile service - diff and transfer case fluid change
Excellent.. If the fluids looked good, then you can rest assured you didn't wait too long.. I can show you no evidence of drivetrain component failure due to preemptive maintenance, and I could fill your inbox with instances of failure due to delayed maintenance. Log the service, and roll... -
Mud Flap Options
These are good options, especially if you are off-roading.. The LR4 OEM ones are hard plastic, and can snap/crush when negotiating large rocks.. Avslash: How about these classics: -
throttle body on 5 litre LR4?
Agreed with the above.. Improved idle is where cleaning these usually shows the most gain.. When at idle, the gate is closed, letting in just a small amount of air for the idle fuel/air mixture to be right.. Small amounts of buildup around the edges of the gate can restrict air coming in, and... -

2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
Hmm.. I might be spotting a trend here.. Here's a hypothesis: Could infrequent intake cleaning cause this? I know that the injectors aren't having intake debris forced through them, but a) cleaning the intake and b) injectors going bad seem to be happening in tandem for some of us. When I... -
75k mile service - diff and transfer case fluid change
I chose not to listen to JLR, I listened to the manufacturer of the transmission, ZF. They say change it.. Since the dealership will not back up a stance of no maintenance, I find it speculative- and they find it profitable.. I say do what the design engineers intended, not what the... -
Adaptive Headlight ECU Module
Yo, Here's what I could dig up.. I have a feeling they left it on the left hand side if the car for NA versions- see the pics attached from the FSM.. As you know, in the UK(and the manual) the passenger side is on the left. I just pulled the upper vent out of my passenger side (right side)... -
High Output Alternator Needed
Sorting out what size amp are you running, what ohm rating your subs are running at, and how hard you plan on pushing it are all factors on how many farads you need. I assume it's a class D amp.. If you are running over 1000 watts you could easily be doubling the current draw that the truck... -
High Output Alternator Needed
I would definitely throw a couple of farads' worth of caps by the amp, but those are usually meant to keep the bass supplied with adequate power during heavy signal hits.. Whatever amp you are using is probably going to require some constant current, hence your inquiry.. 320 is a lot of... -
Dealer Price - Alternator and Battery
Paul, I'm currently working a whirring noise coming from the alternator area on a buddy's LR- and it turned out to not be the alternator.. I think the bearings seem to outlast the brushes on these alternators- I hear more cases of the alternator dying an electrical death than bearings going... -
Dealer Price - Alternator and Battery
That sounds like standard dealer pricing.. Don't kick yourself for it- when it's a rescue mission sometimes having a dealer that close can be a blessing.. Kids and wife involved- you made the right choice. -
75k mile service - diff and transfer case fluid change
I know that dealship! Superior Land Rover, I have their license plate frame on my rig! They seemed like pretty cool folks.. I hope they quoted the whole job for that- or they REALLY frown on others working on their own trucks.. Mike -
75k mile service - diff and transfer case fluid change
7 liters should be fine, I drained 5 liters and 5 went back in.. I have heard that if you leave it draining overnight, you can get another liter out of it.. I cannot confirm this, but I plan on trying it when do the refill.. -
Suspension Fault - C1A18-64
I understand that Hitachi made an updated compressor- does it operate faster than the OEM? I'm kind of disappointed that RyanJL ruled out the tacos so early.. Mike -
75k mile service - diff and transfer case fluid change
Trinidad- I have the Febi in mine, also bought from RM.. I spoke with one of their techs, and he stated that chemically it was near identical to ZF.. 23k since I installed the new pan and it is running smooth as ever.. I am going to do another drain/refill in 7k more.. Wear gloves and a long... -
LR4 Transmission Service
I would drain and refill half the fluid, and do the filter.. See how it runs after that, and go after the rest of the fluid in 5k if all is well.. You are about twice the mileage recommended by the transmission manufacturer for a drain and refill.. I would be careful doing a "flush" on a... -
Is a d5 a great deal right now?
Agreed on all points.. I think Land Rover lost its way when over-analyzing what people wanted. They tried to break into new markets with multiple lines of sleek-looking pseudo-trucks, and spent a mountain of cash doing so. A Land Rover has a beautiful history of being a boxy truck that is... -
Snapped Trim Piece- Glue Recommendations
That sounds like a plan.. I was going to save the JB weld to glue RyanJL's doors shut if he trades in for a G-Wagon, but I suppose I can get more.. Thanks! -
Accident!
With that mileage, I'd get on the 'bay and start looking- there are many LR4s that have no rear-end damage, and if you call the yard (their info is in the seller description), you can get a deal going to get a pallet of parts shipped to you.. I's shoot for $800 shipped.. Mike -
Snapped Trim Piece- Glue Recommendations
Gang, I had a piece of door trim that was coming off; It was bowing due to the metal insert and plastic expanding at different rates.. I tried to gently bend it back and it snapped. Do you have any recommendations for a glue? I have JB Weld, 2 part epoxy, etc, but I wanted to see if anyone... -
Accident!
Ouch! You might want to check your insurance deductible and go that route.. My dealership does not do repairs from collisions, they have a high end collision shop do it.. I'll take a loose stab at it- $5,000 in new parts if the damage didn't affect the diff.. If you turn wrenches, you might... -
300k mile club
You are serving as a ray of hope for us.. This is good stuff, and stands as a testament that we CAN be in this for the long run.. Quijote: With my brief calculations, you will hit the above mileage on your 225th birthday. Think young, my friend... Mike -
Opinions please (Non-Technical)
Sorry to put this on a technical forum, but you are the fellas I need an opinion from.. A few weeks back, we (Kansas City) took about a foot of snow, and the for-hire plows did their usual shit job cleaning up the parking lots. Many spots are taken up by snow mounds, and today I didn't feel...
