V8 short drive belt replacement
As long as you purchased the belt from Rover and you were communicating clearly which one you needed it will be ok. There is never a need to cut anything off. The tensioner is very easily released. I used my breaker bar (3/8) with a copper pipe over the handle to release the tension. Could not... -
'11 LR4 lower contol arm drama...
Bolts more likely to be rusted tightly if you have road salt in the winter. Mine are Houston vehicles, came out no problem - whew! But do use anti-seize when reinstalling in preparation for next time.. Just keep it off the threads!!! Another good diagnostic: Find a 1.5" lip up from the main... -
'11 LR4 lower contol arm drama...
The boot will be destroyed by the pickle fork. I have never had any luck pressing in anything - (especially those Nissan front bearings!) - so I just don't bother any more. I just purchase a new lower control arm and go with the everything from Rover. The trick with the front axle it to... -
'11 LR4 lower contol arm drama...
I have now done this on the 2013 and the 2016, V8 and V6, respectively. It's exactly the same job on either configuration. Yes, it's a bit challenging, especially the re-install. Yes, it needs to be re-aligned after you complete, no matter how careful you are. Yes, the best tool for the ball... -
2020 Disco 5 Oil Change
I always use Rover brand fluids and the Rover branded filter. Yes, it's more expensive, and many will disagree. The most important thing is to stay at 5K or so with the frequency. There are many reliable on-line vendors for Rover brand fluids. Atlantic British and FCP Euro come immediately to...- txfromwi

Are Voss Fittings One Time Use?
WAYYYY off target, but maybe food for thought... I just finished installing a new flow through water heater and it required several new brass fittings. In the old days, by cracky, we used Teflon tape on the threads and it was sealed, no problem. These new fittings must be different, made with... -
Dead mouse inside my fan motor blower
Well, I know from the house I grew up in that it will only last about 3 days!! See below... This is from the manual for the 2016 , but note the publish date is 2011, so probably pretty universal.. Face mask recommended - Hanta Virus... -
When did your crossover go and is your climate HOT (CA, NM, AZ, TX, LA, etc) or COOL (PNW, northeast, etc)
All TX vehicles. - HOT. The 2013 was done in 2021 at 90K. Failure was the o-ring in the connection between the water pump and the oil cooler tube. The 2016 was done in 2022 at 60K. Failure was the front crossover on the passenger side just outside the o-ring - cracked and falling apart all... -
Todays Battle
If I am interpreting what I see correctly, looks line a line from the mold. if that is correct then they all should have that and it's fine. But if I am incorrect, then it's good insurance to replace. -
Is an LR4 Body Lift Possible?
If you are only looking for 1.25", are you aware that with the IIDTool your can reprogram your (air) suspension to default to any height within the total range of motion of the system. I.E. you could simply reprogram the system to call default height at 1.25" higher. -
Hazards, Christmas Tree, No Crank, Hear me out please…
Well, I have never taken mine that far apart, but I have to agree that with this much disconnected I would never expect it to be functional. These are crazy intelligent - or is it stupid... - they never really go to sleep and I CAN speak from experience that they re-set and adjust systems many... -
Battery - IID Tool Strangeness ?
Probably resolved. Battery was likely discharged from sitting a long time and I did not re-charge properly, running the vehicle less than about 2 hours. See below... Although this is the 2015, I did find this in the manual for the 2013. "Do not rely on the generator to restore a discharged... -
Help needed!! More head scratching on battery/alternator/charging system... '06 LR3
The system can put out high voltages if the battery cables and all connections are not tight. Check all connections and make sure all the grounds are good. From the manual for the 2013: "NOTE: Under no circumstances should the battery be disconnected with the engine running because under these... -
Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -
I would like to know how to add blind spot monitoring to vehicles not factory equipped. I know that we can purchase the mirrors and the actual sensors, but how to actually make it work - software?? For any and all 2013, 2015,2016. -

Lr4 detachable hitch receiver bent
Maybe if we all contacted them to request that they become a vendor for all the internal hitch parts? [email protected] -
Rough Wipers
I have heard of that as well. I do not "treat" my windows with Rainex, but I do use Rainex washer fluid and have used Rainex wipers before I transitioned to Bosch. I never had any problems and have always been very pleased with performance. Remember, never use Windex or anything like that on... -

Lr4 detachable hitch receiver bent
I have the same issue. As far as I know this part is not sold separately. If you find a vendor please let us know! You can purchase other piece parts here (works the same as the receiver hitch): -
Rough Wipers
I use Rainex washerfluid, the Bosch silicon wipers in front and the Rainex wiper in back. -
Current Tire Recommendations?
Thanks Everyone - I really appreciate your personal experiences. As always this group is amazing! Those are an impressive set of videos - but it's an LR4 driven by mere mortals, not a Tesla being drifted around the track - so need to use a bit of salt with the results and understand that those... -
Current Tire Recommendations?
Per Michelin the CrossClimate should do better in the snow, but there are several concerning reviews on the Michelin website that say they are not good in snow - but you never know exactly the bone that the reviewer is trying to pick... -
Current Tire Recommendations?
Yes, I know.... Thanks! Anyway.... The 2016 needs new tires later this summer in preparation for a Rochester, NY winter. This is the daughters LR4 and if I am lucky I might get to drive it for 1 day with the new tires before I leave her at school in August. Meaning that it needs to be right... -
Crossover pipe work
In addition to 16FujiDisco comments about children - which are true btw... The blue tab coolant line release on the passenger side (US) rear crossover is tight even with everything out. And the hardest bolt on the rear crossover is on the passenger side (US), as I seem to recall it was the...
