2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
Another test you could do (that might throw codes, mind you) is to unplug the front valve block electrical connector, leave the fuses in place. With the connector unplugged, the ECU can't open/close valves. That might tell you more about what you're chasing. -

2016 LR4 Suspension Issue
I'm still curious to know what the actual difference is between the front and rear valve blocks - I'm having sagging of the front after my control arm replacement, not sure if it's due to having depressurized the system and some desiccant dust got into the solenoids and are keeping them from... -

Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4
The diff lock will only engage when you're on the gas. Are you sure you have the lockers? I see mine engage if I give it a bit more gas than needed, both center and rear. In snow mode it will also start in 2nd gear only, to limit wheel spin. It is heavy, so it's best not to get it sliding... -

Control arm fail
I got my new control arms in, and the difference in ride quality was instantly noticeable. Glad to be rid of the poly, though I might keep the old arms and put OEM bushings back in them, keep them on hand as spares. I haven't inspected the upper LCAs, I'll add that to the list of things to... -

front drivetrain noise
I had a thump-thump noise and it was separation of the tread casing from the tread of the tire. Got new tires and it went away, though it scuttled my plans to go to 18" wheels. I ended up with the toyo AT3, I've been happy with them. Is the thumping related to wheel rotation, or faster? A... -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
Also, I compared the Lemforder LCAs to the ones that came off (which look like the original, at least they have the Land Rover stamp). I compared the Lemforder ones and the only difference is the land rover stamp was ground off before they were painted. -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
I had a really hard time getting the ball joint loose, even with a 4lb hammer. Gave up on violence and got a ball joint separator kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09CT1XTK9 - it worked really well. Getting the arm rotated in such a way that the ball joint comes out of the knuckle was a... -

Lower Front Control Arms - Replacement - DIY Video
Dan, thank you for the video! I was having a hard time with my pickle fork (it bent before the ball joint moved), and searched a good bit for a separator - I just don't like hammering on things, seems uncivilized and a last resort. I found one that worked really well for me... -

Battery rundown protection?
I noticed similar last night as I was getting started on my LCA replacement - I left the rear door unlatched, and when I opened the driver's door I heard the fuel pump prime things. The radio doesn't come on though (no logo displayed on the screen) and I don't think the instrument panel woke... -

Battery rundown protection?
Thanks for the feedback on the Lensun, that's unfortunate. Solar panels should last a lot longer than that. Hopefully the Cascadia 4x4 is better. Did you change the wiper nozzles when you relocated them, and are they still heated? -

Battery rundown protection?
If you don't fully latch one of the doors that you don't commonly use it will prevent the system from waking up if you open another door. Eventually the car goes to sleep even if that one door isn't fully latched. Also there are hood mounted solar panels, lensun and Cascadia4x4 to name two. -

Loosing a little bit of coolant
I got this one: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/land-rover-saab-dex-cool-engine-coolant-antifreeze-1-gallon-zerex-zxel1 It's orange, not pink, for ford/Chrysler/gm. There's a version of Zerex for VW/Audi/etc that is pink. I don't think you're supposed to mix them. -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
Valve cover leaking down the back of the engine? -

Control arm fail
I am doing the same, but with lemforder (non HD) LCAs, for largely the same reason, though a bad ball joint precipitated things. -

LR4 Tailgate not opening
The recliner handle just lets you release the window (upper part), you can still climb over the tailgate. The window latch isn't accessible, so if the actuator stops working, you can't open it at all if it's latched. -

Got my new lemforder lca's today, project for the weekend. Got new nuts, washers, and bolts, but forgot to order the bolts for the shock absorbers. -

Lr4 Brakes
I believe so: the actuator works on one side of the pads, the adjuster wheel on the other. At least that's how the drum brakes on my beetle worked! -

Lr4 Brakes
There's a procedure with the iid tool to put the parking brake into servicing position that I think you must do to get the rear rotors off. -

So control arm, and see if the noise goes away, and if not then hubs! -

bad lower ball joint lead to howling?
I've been hearing a bit of a growling/howling noise from the front left, more pronounced when weight transfers to that side (i.e. on right turns). I figured I was in for new hubs, got home and lifted the wheel off the ground and gave it a good tug. No play 12/6, but a clunk 3/9, and I could...
