    Disable Eco start/stop action permanently

    Nevermind, just triggered. Sad face.

    Disable Eco start/stop action permanently

    It does not turn the light on. Keep in mind I haven't driven hundreds of miles with this configuration. I make no guarantees of it working.

    Disable Eco start/stop action permanently

    While setting up adaptive speed control I saw a CCF in the GAP tool for "ECO switch". I set mine to "not fitted" and have not had the start stop system activate over the last 30ish miles. Keep in mind there's a lot of factors that go into whether the system activates, but so far it has not...

    Can I Add Adaptive Cruise Control?

    Just got ACC working in my 2015 LR4. Bought a radar unit off eBay that had the metal bracket attached. Ordered brand new switch buttons from a dealer. Paid for a flash from GAP. To mount the radar unit I popped it out of the metal bracket and attached it to the magnesium structure that...

    Wait 4 more years and VW might sell you a body on frame plug-in hybrid Scout.

    Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...

    For wiring repairs I like the solder loaded crimp on butt splices from McMaster. Heat shrink is built-in too. 9895K11, 13, 15, 17

    Head Removal

    I forgot to add one other thing. My hood struts went bad while I had them out for 3 months. Not sure why given that's the way they're shipped.

    Head Removal

    I too opted for a new, to me, vehicle while I replaced my engine. I got something with a warranty too! Injectors, coils, plugs, coolant pipes, water pump, thermostat. If you can get someone to evacuate the AC that would be incredibly helpful. Leaving it in place was a real pain for me. If...

    Maf Sensors...

    With my old Volvo, Bosch is the only choice. All the other options don't seem to work well or last very long.

    I went with Bosch a year ago, no issues.

    Even though I've been having a very intermittent emissions fault, p0430, I decided I was going to try and get an inspection sticker today. In my state you need 250 miles without a CEL or clearing codes. I started the day with about 50 miles of no CEL. I didn't even reach closed loop operation...

    Persistent P0430 on my 2012 5.0

    I really want to rule out electrical issues too. The code is frustratingly intermittent. It'll pop as pending once and a while and only on some occasions actually trigger a CEL, official status of permanent or intermittent). Other times it'll flip to historic and never trigger a CEL. The...

    Persistent P0430 on my 2012 5.0

    O2 sensor sensor has not worked for me. I might have to bite the bullet.

    Dipstick

    As we are all aware some dipstick decided these things don't need a dipstick. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to turning the truck on to check the oil. My reflex is to always have my foot on the brake and that starts it. While I had the motor out I messed around a little trying to fab up a...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Good call on the tape. For us novices it really helps to write stuff down. When I was doing the valve covers on my project I wrote on the valve cover in sharpie.

    2012 LR4 Electrical power loss

    Check your grounds. Look in the battery box for evidence of mice.

    Moved under it's own power just now. Time to put some shakedown miles on it.

    Last I looked a salvage yard transmission is around a thousand bucks.

    Tahoe has roughly the same dimensions as a 110 and a tighter turning circle. Unlike the GX it can be equipped with an air suspension.

    Only a barbarian would ride around on something as crude as a metal spring.
