First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
Just making sure I understood correctly... So with my "fleet" I only need to worry about the tensioners on the 2013... -
First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
I thought the timing chain issue was with the V8? Not the V6???? -
New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon
Michelin Cross Climate 2. Simply the most amazing tire ever! -
First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
Welcome to the group - this is a great place to be! So that's the V6 with the supercharger and the 8 speed transmission. There are several other strings on this forum with that question, seek them out... Here are a few... Remove the appearance cover. At the oil filter at about 2:00, look... -
Front and rear differential service and engine oil service
I know nothing about the Disco 5. But note that on the LR4 (Disco 4) front and rear differentials are NOT filled to the filler plug level. They are filled BY VOLUME. Also Front and rear and locking rear all use different fluids. Service interval on the front and rear is 10 yrs/150K miles...- txfromwi

Discovery Transmission issues
Not sure about the 2001, as a general statement, the transfer case function can be both internal to or external to the transmission itself. I can tell you that in my 2013-2016 LR4's the transfer case is separate and is external to the transmission proper. First find the leak. Remove all... -
Throttle body coolant line mystery
I recommend you use a vacuum extraction tool. Couple of hundred $. A nice investment in tools. -
Project Dark Knight Rising
If you call Palm Beach they can search for it anywhere in the country and if it exists anywhere they can get it to you... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
For parts have you tried Land Rover Classics? store.landrover.com They are the only place I can now find Rover brand seat covers. I also have great service from Palm Beach Rover online parts, they seem to be able to find pretty much everything. -
Dash Cam - Best Options?
I have been considering installing a dash cam. Initially considering a VanTrue N5 but that's not really the question. At least with a quick look at the vendor website, I don't see an install manual, so typical questions remain. Mostly concerned about installation, where the wires will run... -
2012 LR4 coolant leak
As long as it showed up in a comment above: Regarding the fuel flange recall. Red Rover 2015, completed recall at the Dallas dealership - no issues. White Rover 2016, completed recall - local Houston dealer did a botched job, ongoing fuel leaks until I could get it to another dealership... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Now that's a serious project !! Yes, the ZF 6HP 26 and 28 are identically mechanically. They produce different torque outputs and that is via the mechatronic and the software. If you pull the attached document it lists every mechanical part, and they are all identical. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Well... This has quite literally been in work for 2.5 years, but finally... For your insomnia needs... Here is my take on the transmission pan project on the 6 speed. I hope you find it useful! -

Disable Eco start/stop action permanently
Does that turn the idiot light permanently on? It's very bright for me at night... -
ECO (Auxiliary) Battery Recharge?
It's a very simple task to change the battery. Exide EK 151 as per above. Get it from vendors in the UK, I source mine from Groves Batteries - even after the shipping it will still be much, much less expensive than obtaining the battery at a dealership. It's been a while since I looked for one...- txfromwi

Control Arms
I went with OEM. It's not too hard a job, you can do it yourself. But of course there are tricks - it IS a Rover after all. Then an alignment at your favorite shop. I have a video out there on YouTube for this project. -
Transmission - Mechatronic Valve Body Sleeve (TZV500010) replacement - help!
I just finished my video for the 2013 and now I have computer problems so I cannot post it... Probably until I can get a new computer and transition over.... Anyway... Until I can get my 2013 Rover specific video up there, the reference videos to be watching are in Aston Martin Land and are... -
Best windshield replacement option?
So where EXACTLY does one obtain the Pilkington glass? i.e. name, address, phone number. The last time I tried, every "glass shop" in Houston claimed that it was not available in the states. (Classic Houston - would rather lose business than make even one phone call...) On that project I ended... -

Transmission taking too long to shift
For a similar issue, a Rover dealership (that I trust) advised me to disconnect the battery for half an hour to allow things to reset. -
Touching Base
About the keyless entry. I have found that if the key and the cell phone are in the same pocket that the key does not work. -
Touching Base
All the best for your daughter - that is going to be a very challenging road. Just a heads up... (Because I did not know this I purchased an unnecessary battery that is now sitting in the garage...) From the mechanics manual for the 2016, pg 36. "Do not rely on the generator to restore a... -
Crossover pipe work
Get a UV flashlight and poke around after dark. Look everywhere... The 2013 had a coolant leak that I could not locate until I found coolant on the front surface of the engine. Front crossover failure. The 2016 was perfect, but I discovered a front crossover failure, that could have gone... -
Transmission “Free Wheeling”
On a different matter, I have been in touch with Land Rover Rochester NY. They also suggested disconnecting the battery and watching behaviour. I did have a chance to disconnect the battery, but I did not have an opportunity to drive it after that. Fuji White is now with my D at University and...
