Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I don't open the sunroof much, but I do crack it open for ventilation when sleeping in the car. When I cleaned mine, surprisingly they were still clear. I wonder if all the rain we get helps keep them flushed. -

Lr4 Brakes
I have a special tool that I got for my VW where the parking brake is integrated into the rear caliper and requires the piston to be rotated while retracting - impossible to do with a C-clamp. Just be careful retracting the piston and keep an eye on brake fluid reservoir fill level - you don't... -

Lr4 Brakes
I didn't need to replace the sensor when I did my rear brake pads, as the pads weren't worn out (some of the pad material had detached from the backing plate), no issues so far. -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I thought the fill port was on the side of the transmission housing, and only the drain hole was on the pan. If that is indeed the case, then fill-to-spill would get you the right level, but perhaps different volume. -

Control arm fail
I am on the fence about proactively replacing mine - the indy shop recommended the poly bushings to avoid frequent replacement of the oil-filled ones when I first bought it, so I did that not knowing any better. I'm due an alignment, so perhaps I bite the bullet and swap to the Meyle HD, or... -

Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I pulled the air intake grill out of the fender - PITA to release, but the drain is behind them. Once cleared with the trimmer line, I ran hot water through to flush. -

Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I did it with a short step ladder from the outside, the holes are in the corner, it would be a lot harder from inside IMO. -

Drivers Side Floorboard Wet
I ran trimmer line through mine, it's plastic, and you can blunt the end so it doesn't catch on things. I'd be worried about wire poking through things. -

Showoff Your LR4
wet roots were really tough. I need to work on my rear wheel placement, I got the front fairly well sorted. -

Showoff Your LR4
Went off-roading in the Tillamook State Forest today with Jeep friends. Almost earned a t44 rear bumper: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AtjXg-z5Afhpk4de8u40cWTPlXuF7A?e=zcnHpG -

Range rover sport control arms on LR4
I was just revisiting this, looking at parts fitment, and the Meyle HD arms (53160500009HD and 53160500010HD) show fitment for LR3, LR4, and RRS 1. 53160500010HD is a replacement for 53160500001HD. -

Control arm fail
The poly bushings were indeed more durable than the original rubber bushings! I too regret putting the poly on, they make the ride a bit harsh, more NVH. Add the worry that the LCA will fail and it's tempting to switch back, especially since I need to get it aligned again anyway. -

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
I think coolant in the valley meshes with no coolant in the oil and not blowing smoke. I'd focus on trying to figure out how the coolant is getting to the valley before digging too far into the cylinder heads/combustion chambers. I'd guess a pressure test would show you where it's leaking from... -

Lr4 Brakes
Yeah, I paid about $170 for my rear pads from the dealer, it was better than their quote to replace the rear pads for $1200 - no rotors, just pads. -

Lr4 Brakes
Sometimes Atlantic British have better prices in their Amazon storefront than through their website. I bought the plastic retainers for the fender liners and hitch cover from Amazon, cheap knockoffs, they seem fit for purpose. For more critical parts I got to FCPEuro, Atlantic British, and... -

Looked it up, LR134696 is what the dealer gave me for my 2012, for whatever that's worth. -

Lr4 Brakes
When I had pad separation of the rear pads, I bought new pads from the dealer for my 2012 and they gave me pads that look more like the ones you posted for 2013+. They fit fine (and I think had a chamfer on both ends). Not sure which part number I got, will see if I can find out. -

Lucky 8 SYA Kit Problem
One of my concerns with the T44 sliders is how one uses the factory jack, as it seems it would cover the normal jack points. I like that there's a locating pin on the factory jack, and like that the jack saddle cradles the frame rail. Makes it easier to explain to the kids how to operate it if... -

Lucky 8 SYA Kit Problem
When I broke my compressor bracket it bent the mounting tabs on the compressor itself, made more noise since the rubber isolators no longer did anything, but it still worked. I think a metal compressor skid plate is probably worthwhile, I'm considering getting the tactical 4x4 rock/tree sliders... -

Blinking headlight
Darn, I've always tried to wedge my hand behind the unit to get the bulbs in, didn't realize I could hit the easy button. Next time the crappy halogens burn out! Or maybe I'll finally get the Xenons... -

2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers
Last time I had them replaced, the indy shop used Valeo blades. I've been happy with them. I believe FCPEuro carries them too: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/rover-wiper-blade-valeo-lr018367 -

Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
Assuming it's hardened steel equivalent to a grade 8 bolt, and a shear strength of 60% of tensile strength (150,000 psi), that 1/2" pin could hold 17000 lbs. Even low carbon steel would give you shear strength over 7000 lbs. Vibrations won't loosen the pin, unlike bolt on solutions. I'm... -

Is this a failing crossover pipe?
I would think so, unless it was poorly installed. If there's no leak from that area I wouldn't worry about it. Odd that you'd have a leak if the radiator was replaced 20k miles ago. I'd just get that fixed. If you do decide to replace the rear crossover, you might as well do everything else...
