    LR4 air suspension stays up!

    It has been a little while, but those voltages look good to me. I recall that there was a pattern like you are seeing, but I don't exactly recall it now... I doubt that it will matter, BUT.... Check the software that your system is running. (IIDTool) My 2016 (purchased used) was running...

    AMK Compressor rebuild/replace

    I just replaced the AMK in our 2016 a few weeks ago. Vendor was AutoHaus AZ. The pump was something like $500 or so, very inexpensive and was a legitimate AMK. BUT, the relay sent they sent was NOT compatible with the vehicle, it physically did not fit, and after ALOT of dinking around, I...

    Lower control arm bushing question

    I would call that a dead bushing needing replacement. Drive 2-3 mph with foot on brake pedal but not pressing Brake hard Listen for a clunk coming from under you just in front of the seat If it clunks you need new bushings. I bet they were installed wrong - if they were tightened down without...

    Name That Sound !

    2016 LR4, 60K miles The sound is very reproducible, and only occurs under these conditions. 1. It is absolutely an A/C related sound, it turns off instantly if I turn off the A/C. 2. It needs to be at least 85F outside, the hotter it is, the more sound I get. 3. Needs to be at a constant...

    How To - DIY - 2016 LR4 - F/R Crossover Pipes, Water Pump, Thermostat, Coolant, Supercharger Oil, Supercharger Coupling

    Quick diagnostic look see for small leaks. Works for both 2013 and 2016 Remove appearance cover. Get flashlight, even better get UV flashlight If wet or UV active (assuming you run Rover coolant), then it's leaking. It's easier if you wait until it's dark, at least inside the engine...

    Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?

    So, I am older than dirt, but I have never replaced brake fluid, I know, I know.... So for the 2016. Your favorite bleeding tool? Is there anything special that I need the IID tool for (I am thinking ABS valves) or is this just a straight forward flush and done. Also, decided to upgrade...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    2016, 60K miles. OK, so minor SC coupler spring damage to the main shaft, this is mainly cosmetic, but I can feel a very small bit of wear. Do you think this will be out of balance enough to require replacing, or just put it back together... The new coupler does not touch the main shaft.

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    2016 LR4, 60K miles I am told that the fill volume for this is 151mL, but I recovered only 84mL. No evidence of leaks and yes, I am sure I got it all out - syringe and tubing and moving SC to make sure I was getting it from all the corners of the gearbox. New oil has no appreciable odor, used...

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    I spoke to Phillip at PalmBeach Rover Parts and he told me that the 3 part design in aluminum was an old Rover design that had been changed out to the new plastic 2 piece design and that when older vehicles come in they are updated to the new plastic parts. He did not have a good explanation of...

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    Well, I drove over to EuroAMP and I did not return with the parts. I looked at two sets of top/bottom front crossovers for the 2016. This is my opinion... I may be way too picky, but I was not pleased with the quality of the casting or the finish on the mating surfaces. The female interior...

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    I did not know that the "new" design was 2-piece and that the "old" design was 3-piece. Given that, I am now leaning toward the 2-piece. Anyway, that vendor for the 2-piece setup is here in Houston, about 45 minutes away from me across town (on a good day). They are the originators of the...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Thanks! Glad I did not touch that! A quick look around and overlooking the drain plug again, but there it is... It's a 3/16 allen wrench. I am also doing the coupler, so any remaining oil will come out when I take off the snout.

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    I spent some time looking at these and I actually see two different versions, from different sellers on E-Bay. One version looks to be an exact match for the new style parts I have in my garage. The upper fits down into the lower, with one o-ring, there are two piece parts. These parts, if the...

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    Oh sure! the 2016 is totally apart, new plastic crossovers waiting to be installed. Do I become the first?? These look exactly like the new design plastic ones.. I need to ponder....
