    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    Not sure how difficult it is to remove the starter and simply test it when it's out but that's what I would do; I'd be looking to ensure that it's: 1) Turning 2) Has enough grunt to push the pinion gear in to the flywheel The answer to these two questions may help figure out if you need a...

    Screeching sound in front of car after first turned off

    The suspension also "off gases" I believe, meaning I sometimes hear mine letting off pressure, I realize this is not a squealing sound; could it be somehow related to that? A video would be super helpful... Is it repetitive? Is it just on the engine-off event, so could it be something that...

    2012 US Spec 5.0 Won’t Start

    That battery warning I believe is normal, I've seen it before when I'm in the car; have the radio playing and the engine's not running. The car will do a lot to stop auxiliary systems from draining the battery. I'd take the advice already provided and try to add axillary power to the battery...

    Thanks - I did see this but was looking for something more permanent (like a aluminum plate or similar)...

    Overlander Question

    I think one aspect that you can't account for with the LR4 is just how amazing they are; it strikes me that many people (me included) buy them but don't fully comprehend how great they are until it's too late... I don't necessarily think they're any less reliable than any other vehicle; the...

    Interior sill plate protection

    Just wondering if anyone has found/installed an interior sill plate protector? My paint work is pretty scratched up and I'd like to (1) cover it up and (2) give it some more protection; here's a photo: Ideally the solution would have some curvature to it so that it wraps over the issue...

    Every Fault Known To Man

    I still have to do the drain tubes! I think you're in the right area in terms of battery/alternator/earth strap; the biggest single issue is going to be finding out which one! I think being on here will certainly help. I guess I'd try and rule out the simple stuff first, so I'd probably be...

    Rear handbrake - learning from my mistakes!

    I recently had a very weird noise coming from my rear left (US - passenger side) wheel, it was sufficiently loud that when passing pedestrians they'd look over at the LR4 (and probably helped perpetuate the perception that they're unreliable)... Anyway, lots of weird and different noises were...

    Every Fault Known To Man

    Is Washington State as bad as the UK for rain??? You'd think these things are excellent in the rain given their heritage! Thinking sunroof drain pipes in particular! Anyway, sorry to hear about your misfortune.

    Oil Change Just Because It's Been 18 Months?

    What oil do you use when you do change it? I'm hoping this is an innocuous question as I'm curious but realize there may be some holy wars in this realm, in which case I apologize profusely for asking...

    Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?

    I have Por-15 added to my Amazon wish list and this is a project I was planning for the summer! I'll be curious how your daughters LR4 looks!

    Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?

    I agree, there's nothing there to worry about! I'm in Michigan, sure, there's rust on the cars!... If chunks of rust/metal are falling off then you need to worry but what you have here is surface rust!

    LR Time YouTube Videos

    I couldn't agree more; some of the work they do is simply amazing and so much fun at the same time. I really appreciated their review of the V6 gas engine and his analysis of the crank issues (a few weeks ago now I believe). Complete kudos to Christian and Vera for the amazing contributions to...

    Timing Chains INA or Tsubaki how to tell?

    I guess you'd need to understand typical failure rates and then extrapolate from there, in bike chains I think the chain stretching causes the majority of issues since this then leads to additional wear on the gears which in turn leads to gear/chain slippage. In the images shown above there's...

    casting call for LR owners

    Then I definitely need not apply! That's me to a T :-).

    Timing Chains INA or Tsubaki how to tell?

    This has many plates (more than 11 but hopefully conveys the idea): Here we have 5 plates (INA I assume): Look at a single pin (the silver part in the image above) and then count how many pieces of metal it connects, the pieces of metal are the plates. Here's a better description:

    Ultragauge 2

    I'm guessing the purpose of this is to warn the driver of any pending doom (like failed crossover pipes as an example), is that correct? If so - very cool!

    casting call for LR owners

    3. Own a vehicle in the correct age range - "2019-2023" (it's not going to be an LR4!), in which case use (1) and (2) above and get busy with Photo Shop or Chat GPT!

    Rough Wipers

    Just another FYI, I noticed that my wipers are positioned to clear a little more of the windshield than yours, the wipers are typically mounted on a tapered and splined shaft; I wonder if yours couldn't be adjusted (by rotating them) so that when they're at the top of the ****** they get a...

    When is it time to say goodbye?

    I feel the same and love seeing how this thread has evolved, I've always got an inner smile when I go drive the lady :-) (Mad!)... Certainly, it took a while to get her the way I wanted and for sure there's a lot more work and pain involved (timing chains and cross-over pipes) but there is...

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    Great to hear this particular journey is coming to an end - excellent news :-). Thanks also for blazing a trail that others can follow; the value of these forums is sharing the journey and the solution when we finally arrive at it... You deserve a rest!

    Fuel hatch never locks in NAS LR4?

    I think gas in Europe is so much more expensive that syphoning from a gas tank is more of an issue. Just my guess...

    Fuel hatch never locks in NAS LR4?

    Mine doesn't lock either. I suspect you can just inspect the mechanism and figure this out...
