Crossover pipe work
Anyone who says "no overlapping service" is lying to you and trying to rip you off. As per jlglr4, once you are in there for the front crossover, the rear is a minimal additional task. I do not see any way reasonably possible to do the rear without taking off the SC. I would move on and find... -
LR4 5.0L overheating at idle
As I seem to recall, the IIDTool measures coolant temperatures at a couple of different locations. Any useful data there? So.. on my 2002 Nissan Maxima I have thoroughly diagnosed and I have what I am calling a "weak water pump" - factory original now at 212K miles. At less than 1,500 rpm there... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Doubtful that it's still under warranty and at that time I did not bother as I had bigger fish to fry. But I need to get to this project on the 2013 and then eventually on the 2015 and need another vendor for the torque wrench! Here is what I purchased, I see it's about half the price now vs... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Yes, thanks, but what about the actual torque wrench itself? The one I used was crazy expensive and was total junk, dead at the end of just this one little project. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
What torque wrench did you use? I used a Summit brand torque wrench that directly fits those T40 bits and is small enough to get in there, but the gears in the head were absolute crap and the wrench lasted only through this one project. Any other ideas before I start this project on the... -
Battery - IID Tool Strangeness ?
Thanks, I understand your logic and that is why I have an ECO/AUX battery on order. I will report back on whether or not that makes a difference. It would be nice if this was the fix. But there seems to be no definitive determination whether that is actually the way it works. Personally, we... -
Battery - IID Tool Strangeness ?
This is for the 2015 LR4, 41K miles. I purchased this LR4 last October, 2022 and replaced the OEM ! battery last November with an H7. I did a battery reset with the IID Tool at that time. 2 weeks later the Aux battery dies - I have not replaced it - at least yet... (due to the below I have... -
2012 versus 2015 LR4
Our stable is a 2013 (V8) and then a 2015 and 2016 both with the V6. All three of us, hands down, prefer the 2013 with the V8. I would never purchase without actually driving it and kicking the tires, but that's me... When I purchased the 2015 last fall I flew up to take a look at it, with the... -
LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?
Nothing comparable in my opinion. Closest I can come, as an owner of a 1992 and a 2001 is an Isuzu Trooper. Not may of those around anymore, but there is one in the neighborhood I see at the grocery store every now and then. -
Headliner Cloth Coming Loose
Katy? That's on the other side of the world. I am in Clear Lake! I remember that one time it took 17 hours to drive to Katy - really. Ain't never doing that again! -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I did the 2016, 8 speed a couple of years ago and after some reading determined not to reset the adaptation. As I seem to recall, the discussions led me to conclude that the adaptation was more related to mechanical wear rather than new fluid, so it would be best to just leave it alone. No... -
Think about Added a 2nd battery
Once upon a time I found a great YouTube on this by a guy in Australia. Sorry, didn't save the address... -
Name That Sound !
It's that high pitched "whistle?" A/C must be running - stops immediately when A/C turned off. Must be >85F outside, must have been sitting at idle for a few minutes, as at a stop light. Can also make the sound if driving at a steady freeway speed and then accelerating. Goes away after 5-30... -
Headliner Cloth Coming Loose
Please see photo. Just finished the annual deep detail on the 2013 and noticed this, so it's new in the past 12 months. It's most pronounced on the rear pillars and under the sun visors, but small pockets elsewhere as well. Causes? Fixes? This is the 2013 that we purchased new. Garage stored... -
Name That Sound !
Last fall I purchased the 2015 LR4. If also makes the exact same sound and is directly related to the AC. So if I have 2 and "J" above has one that all make the sound, then I assume it is just something that all the 2014-2016 LR4's probably do. Similar to the rattle from the catalytic... -
Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
Thanks! I will check all those out this year when we put things in storage so that I understand exactly what may be happening next year. 2013 in Nara Bronze... we came sooo close to buying that color but ended up with Ipanema Sand instead. It was a close call... -
Door Adjustment
Is it the door that's mis-aligned (sagging) or just closing hard? Closing hard is the striker location or a hinge that needs lubrication. Mis-Aligned is the hinges that have worn and the door is sagging (like my 2002 Maxima...) To diagnose a worn hinge, open the door just a bit, pick the door... -
Oil Change Just Because It's Been 18 Months?
I use the Rover recommended Castrol OE at whatever weight is recommended for the various LR4's in our stable. It's more available now than a couple years ago, so that helps.. You just had to whack that hornet's nest didn't you ...:D -
Hanging Battery Wire
That's the connection to the shipping/transit relay, used only during shipping from the factory to the dealership. Make sure the cap is on clicked on properly and is tight and tuck it away safely. -
Oil Change Just Because It's Been 18 Months?
For any number of reasons, the 2013 has seen very, very few miles lately, just enough to keep everything lubricated and charged. The motor oil is coming up on 18 months since the last change but less than 1,000 miles, more like about 500 miles. I was always taught to change oil every 2 years... -
Door Adjustment
No experience with that on the Rover, but in my early days on an AMC Javelin the same symptoms came from a bad hinge. Maybe try greasing it up with some white grease? -

Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
Thanks, that's all great info. We would be only moving a dorm room worth of stuff, just a few hundred pounds plus the trailer. Although more expensive, looks like the wife has decided on a POD. We shall see.. -
Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?
OK, I will report back and provide a few details when we get it home - mid May. I have seen reports on-line to be very sure to clean the channel and lid until they are immaculately clean, otherwise the can ain't never coming open ever again. After using this Por-15 I can believe it. I hope I...
