Transmission taking too long to shift
Hmmm; some more!... It did throw a transmission fault perhaps a few months back (driving on the highway) but I've not seen that particular code come back (or any others for that matter). If and when I tackle this job I'll only ever buy the correct fluid based on doing some decent research; I... -
Transmission taking too long to shift
OK, Thanks. I'll get out the GAP tool and take a look. As mentioned above, I suspect the fluid needs changing! I still have the timing chains and crossover pipes to do so I guess I'm looking for a little more time on this job! I've read the other stories and don't relish lying under the LR4... -
Transmission taking too long to shift
Thanks for the input; I bought the car at about 94,000 miles, I don't know the history of the transmission fluid so I've long suspected this may be on the radar. I don't know how to explain what's happening other than my gut is telling me it's not right (I generally have pretty decent instincts... -
Transmission taking too long to shift
This seems like a new behavior today although I've had my suspicions about the transmission for a while, I'm noticing the engine revs are a little higher than I'd like and the transmission is taking longer than I'd expect to shift to the next higher gear. For example, while in second gear the... -
Rear Brake Questions
Pistons are steel given the loads they see. If they are corroded, or stuck for some other reason what's the best way to proceed? I realize they're relatively simple devices and people often choose to service them by removing the piston, installing new seals, etc... For me, this means bleeding... -
Head Unit stopped working
FWIW I had head unit issues when I first purchased my used LR4, it wouldn't remember radio history from one start to the next. I found a replacement unit on Ebay (being very careful to find the right model #), once installed I've not looked back... -
Rear Brake Questions
Agreed with f1racer328; the higher level of wear on the piston side of the pads is likely caused by the caliper not moving as freely as it needs to; the net result being uneven brake wear. I'm facing the same with my wife's Toyota Sienna despite always checking and lubing the caliper. -
Touching Base
I just discovered the same... I tend to get a lot of beep beeps when trying to lock the car, I just changed the battery in the remote but not sure that has really helped either! -

So sorry to hear this news; my thoughts are very much with you and your family. -
Can't seem to be able to program homelink
Thanks for confirming the attempt at a newer mirror! I wonder if others have a nice solution beyond the repeater? -
Can't seem to be able to program homelink
I have the same issue on my 2012; I purchased this to resolve the issue: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LB16YQ5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I wonder if you can get a newer mirror that supports the newer rolling code technology. -

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
Ryan - As a newbie I was very grateful for your help, guidance and mentorship with suspension woes; I always look forward to seeing the image of the dog and the wisdom that follows - A huge thank you as always and good luck with your next vehicle whatever it may be... -
Testing air suspension for leaks?
My pleasure, here's my detailed suspension thread, in particular I do the valves here (YouTube video links as well): https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-reluctant-to-lower-from-off-road-suspension-mode.44636/post-240721 Other's have bought the o'ring kit from the same location and... -
Testing air suspension for leaks?
Yes, it's well known the desiccant in the compressor (to dry the air) starts to break down and distribute a fine powder in the hoses. That fine desiccant powder finally reaches the three respective valves (three at the front, three at the rear and two if I recall at the compressor) and has a... -
Testing air suspension for leaks?
Is it one side or the other or both sides? Don't rule out the rear valve, a leak in one of the three valves could result in one side lowering, you need to look at the pneumatic diagrams to understand how the three valves in the one valve block work. -

Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
He is correct also about the way the plug bracket fits in, I'll get a photo for you if I remember... Yeah - it's pretty easy. -
Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
I also just went through this, I bought the British Atlantic kit that comes with written instructions and there's a video on YouTube (from British Atlantic). Install is pretty basic and needs minimal tools... The hardest part was getting the harness/bracket through the existing hole in the... -
Can't get into Extended mode
Watch some videos first and perhaps see if you can get comfortable with the work? I tend to watch many videos before tackling a job; I then assess which one I trust the most and then oftentimes I'll use it while doing the work. It really depends on the complexity of the work but I try to build... -

Tell them to do it again on their dime, if you specifically asked for OEM that's what they should have installed... -

Can't get into Extended mode
Here's where I documented servicing the valve blocks, I believe others have used the O-rings that I used and have had success: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2012-lr4-reluctant-to-lower-from-off-road-suspension-mode.44636/page-3 -
Can't get into Extended mode
That's seems super expensive; I watched a few videos to see how to do the swap and it looked pretty easy; I'm having trouble to quickly find OEM spring/shock prices but even at $600 or $700 per corner that would still be less in parts than they're quoting for either end... Anyway, why replace...
