    Intermittent Suspension Fault

    I am just about to replace the pump because of this error. If there are any other causes would really appreciate the input before I purchase the parts!

    GAP TOOL (LA or SF)?! 2015 LR4

    Yes, you can put two VIN numbers on one IIDTool. I paid, I think $75 or $80 for the second VIN number. First thing I did was turn the daytime running lights ON !

    2014 LR4 Water pump/ plumbing status?

    I did a video on this project on the the 2013 not too long ago, it's a beast at 90-minutes, but see the index. I will do a video on the same project on the 2016 next month - and will post it as soon as I can.

    IID Tool and control module firmware updates

    I find the IIDTool to be quite terrifying - lots of potential for messing things up! Personally, I do not upgrade software on ANY of my devices, vehicles, phones, and only on the computer when it's a critical security update.

    New (to me) 2012 LR4 5.0

    I changed the transmission pan/filter and fluid on my 2016 very early last spring, but your 2012 would be a more involved project. Plenty of good discussion posts here for that project. I will be doing the transmission pan/filter fluid on my 2013, and will post a video, but that won't be until...

    2013 heater manifold (back crossover) replacement questions

    I did a video on this project on my 2013 last December (2021) - it's a beast at 90 minutes long - but see the index. I specifically show how much compression occurs on all the o-rings and on the manifold gaskets. Yes, I would absolutely install new intake manifold gaskets - all 8 of them...

    Water pump nipple

    I am electrochemist and I would urge caution with adding additional types of metal to the system. When I see dissimilar metals connected via an electrically conductive fluid (coolant), I think corrosion. If there is already brass in the system, then no problems, but adding brass and the new...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Alignment pins. HOW LONG did you make yours? I am ready to go get some bolts and break out the Dremel tool... And for the library: Because I need all this ready in advance... The manual says the bolts at the alignment pin locations are 8mm, but does not specify the thread pitch, so I...

    Used Vehicle Inspection Items and Would you Do This?

    Keeping in mind I already own a 2013 and a 2016 (daughter's)... I am considering purchasing a 2016 HSE Silver Edition, 80K miles, one owner but no maintenance info. It has been a Chicago vehicle it's entire life - concerns about salt and corrosion - your thoughts? (I am a WI native so...

    ECO Auto Start/Stop Not Available

    Exide EK151 batteries are available in the UK for about 60 UK plus shipping. Shipping is not cheap but even so it will be less expensive than getting a battery from the dealership. There are several UK vendors, I had a great experience with Groves Batteries. You can get equivalent batteries...

    If anyone is interested. IIDTool Menu With the vehicle running... Main Menu ECU Flash RLM-Suspension At this point you can choose whether to change your software to Hitachi or AMK. You can also take a look at what you already have installed. Identify Actual Firmware That way you can plan...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Please tell me more about the isolator inside the SC. Location, Part Number? Also, I continue to be confused by "snout", do you mean throttle body? And why does it need to come off? Thanks, Dan

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Is there a way to validate that this is the SC in my particular vehicle or do I wait until it's apart and look for the identification info? Will change the oil (if i can get it..)

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    SO... regarding order of operations... On the 2013, I unbolted the intake manifold - kept the throttle body attached, supported on bungie cords and disconnected the throttle body coolant line at the rear manifold (rear crossover), then removed intake manifold and throttle body as a unit. (Never...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    I was wondering what the big deal was about the pins, holding gaskets is just tooo obvious, I guess. With that insight, I have had a bang up idea for making my own pins - thanks!

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Part Number? Up on page 9 of this thread, we are referring to part #7. I have this in the 2016 manual shown as "Bleed pipe connection (containing check valve) and as a separate part. But does anyone know the part number? Or does that actually only come with the new hose? Thanks.

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Sorry, just want to make sure I can do it right.... OK, so lets talk about alignment pins. I'm saving several grand doing this myself so I don't mind (too much) buying the pins vs making them myself. This is what I find in the manual for the 2016. I just want to make sure I am reading this...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Supercharger torque order - just double checking my interpretation... The manual (pg 2464 in my copy) is even more obtuse on this than usual, but I interpret the torque order (using cylinder numbering as per the manual). Cylinder Numbering Firewall 3 6 2 5 1 4 Front Torque order is...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Ending my day "reading" the mechanics manual, still plenty more to study - really not looking forward to this, but it must be done.... Question for today - having done this on the 2013 a few months ago, and not having done it this way (!), I now very clearly understand the benefits of...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    . I am exhausted from using pliers and vice grips, but can't seem to find a decent specialty tool. Can you specify a reasonably good tool?

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Buy a vaccuum fill setup - you will need a small air compressor if you don't already have one. It's a whole lot easier than trying to bleed from the various bleed ports. Just make sure that whatever you get has the adapter to attach to the reservoir. My vaccuum setup is Astro 78585 -...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Getting ready to do all this on the 2016. (I did the 2013 back in Dec.) So just to be sure, I don't see intake manifold gaskets on the parts lists, so I do ?NOT? need to remove the intake manifold on the 2016? If it's coming off it's getting new gaskets! Or do I not understand this project...

    Quick Compressor Replacement Question

    Thanks! So any input on going from the AMK to the Hitachi? Re-programming? Looks like that K&N Breather filter will save a few $ with no downside! Yup, I learned very early on, way back in the '70's that my work on a vehicle is always superior to the dealership. And although expensive, I...

    Quick Compressor Replacement Question

    Hey everyone! Getting ready to do the compressor on the 2016 and there are a few questions. Rover cannot tell me definitively which compressor was originally installed, they can only tell me that because it's a newer model that it probably came with the AMK. Does anyone know for sure that this...
