    Air Suspension head scratcher

    One way to diagnose, but would also introduce additional potential leak points. Cut the lines at appropriate locations and install pressure rated manually operated shutoff valves. One for each corner, then at additional strategic points in the "common bits" of the system. Then it's easy to...

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    I find the observation that all 4 corners come down simultaneously to be really interesting. That tells me it needs to be in the "common" bit of the system because what are the odds of a simultaneous failure at all 4 corners - even if it IS a Rover... If I have understood your problem...

    Emergency key (blade key) not unlocking LR4

    My thoughts as well - that one time it did work feels like an electrical type failure. I am thinking probably a new lockset, (or whatever assembly contains the switch) but since there is only the one on this vehicle it's not an ongoing hassle of multiple keys... It's going to be an open it up...

    Is there anyway to see if crossover pipes have been done?

    Since it's open, ask them to replace the clips on the underside of the manifold - they hold that coolant line up off the block and are sure to be very brittle, about $2 ea.

    Emergency key (blade key) not unlocking LR4

    Rotates but does not unlock, no sounds either so no obvious attempt by the mechanism to even try to unlock.

    Emergency key (blade key) not unlocking LR4

    All locking/unlocking operates totally normally from the key-fob or the door mounted switches. I can lock the drivers front door with the emergency key, but I cannot unlock it. This scenario is not discussed in the mechanics manual. Reluctant to take it apart. Maybe just a better idea to...

    Is there anyway to see if crossover pipes have been done?

    If you still have your vehicle in hand... The most likely location for a small otherwise hidden leak is the front crossover pipe. Pull up the video for the 2016 and go to 21:25. This is also a diagnostic location for the 2013. Even if you don't have a UV light, you can sometimes see a "wet"...

    Is there an LR4 Workshop / Service Manual?

    Yes, we know what a Haynes manual is in the US :) Agreed with Pagoda. Quite literally thousands of pages of very cryptic text and "drawings", and the classic statement every couple of pages that essentially says ~drawings may not match your vehicle - but the general information is correct~...

    Is there anyway to see if crossover pipes have been done?

    Of course the designs can change at any time, but I looked at the video's. THIS IS TRUE AS OF WHEN I DID THEM.. The new front crossover for the 2013 (Dec 2021) was the same design as the old one - two halves glue welded together The new crossover for the 2016 (Apr 2022) is the new design, one...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Well... MINE was 85 mL. When Superchargers On Line got all my photos and identification they literally said "Oh, you have one of those... I think as a general rule we need to put in roughly what we get out, and clearly there are some that live at about 85mL based on what is coming out from the...

    Is there anyway to see if crossover pipes have been done?

    Thanks! Here are my two videos. Crazy long - all you ever wanted to know but didn't even know to ask. 2013 V8 and 2016 V6. (Also other video's out there and more to come - ugh - more to fix - gotta love 'em - they are our mechanical babies...) When you do the 2016 be sure to replace the...

    Refueling out on the trail

    We are in Clear Lake, about 2 miles from open water and we are at 21 feet. I forget which hurricane now, but we now know that a surge of 25 feet only comes maybe 1/4 mile inland at most because we saw it first hand - we now understand how misleading surge numbers are and we will never leave...

    Hitch Internal Parts?

    Thanks! Those are the guys, they have everything I need, except for the "rack and pinion rod", I am hoping to find a machine shop to carefully straighten that shaft, but I can pound it straight if necessary.

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    I refilled supercharger with 85mL per the recommendation from Super Chargers On Line. That plus the fact that I only removed 84mL and the manual is very insistent that the system not be overfilled. It has gone about 2K miles since, about 1.7K of that freeway across country miles. So far so good.

    Emergency key (blade key) not unlocking LR4

    Let's continue this thread please. 2015 LR4, 40K miles, purchased about 2 months ago. My issue: Everything is perfectly fine using the key fob. The emergency key LOCKS the door. Nice satisfying clunk. The emergency key DOES NOT UNLOCK the door. No clunk. BUT - ONCE, and only once - i.e...

    Hitch Internal Parts?

    Thanks, they have almost everything I need and I sent them an email for the final piece part.

    Hitch Internal Parts?

    The LR4 I purchased about 2 months ago, Red Rover, came with a hitch, but the hitch was damaged. I have now taken the hitch off and I need 2 internal parts to repair it, plus a new key/handle assembly. I cannot locate any supplier - anyone know of a vendor? (It's either fix this one or go...

    HI EVERYONE, HOPE EVERYONE IS FINE ! I BOUGHT A 007 LR3 V6 4.0 ! I NEED SOME HELP COZ IM NEW TO LR3.

    I have been told that some error codes are essentially meaningless and can be ignored. In particular some of the lost communication errors. I would just clear all errors and start again. And even if a code returns, if it's performing as it should - don't jump to unnecessary "fixes"

    Upper control arm prices

    From the manual for the 2016. I have had good luck on specialty tools by just Googling the part numbers, not sure about these - I leave that to you - good luck. The instructions are more cryptic than usual, so I assume it's self explanatory once you have the tools in hand. From the one drawing...

    Refueling out on the trail

    You can literally walk from Memorial to the Woodlands in less than 36 hours !! From Clear Lake to Katy was 12 hours (normally 1 hour), it was 17 or so hours to Uvalde (normally about 4.5 hours). Of course, should have just turned around and gone home or hit the back roads - but the wife did not...

    Refueling out on the trail

    Well, after evacuating from Houston about 20 years ago and spending literally 17 hours doing what is normally a 4 hour drive, I built quite a rig and deployed it a total of once. Let's see if I can describe it so anyone can re-create. Sorry, on the lack of details, it's been a long time...

    2016 Auxiliary water pump

    There is the main water pump and another smaller pump that sends flow through the supercharger. But I have never heard of that smaller pump having problems. You probably lost the front crossover pipe. Assuming you have not already toasted the engine... Do it yourself, save $5K in dealership...

    Fuel Tank Shield/Skid Plate

    I remember the 1992 Isuzu Trooper. Sure glad that that one had a true skid plate over the gas tank. My wife still gives me a hard time about that one - but that rock sure didn't look that big!!

    Fuel Tank Shield/Skid Plate

    Google the part number. I see the OEM part in stock at Land Rover Paramus (NJ), but it's local pickup only. I also see it at Land Rover Cary (NC), and they will ship.
