lowering suspension when not in use for weeks on end
I don't think the static load and pressure really wear the bags. It's flexing of the bags, if the rubber is old, that could lead to cracks, but that'll happen from driving regardless of ride height. I just leave ours at normal ride height, and it's a good way to tell if you have sagging issues... -

Compressor running
You had an AMK compressor before, so no need to flash new firmware? -

Touching Base
Sorry to hear about your daughter, all the best to you and your family. Costco sells batteries at a good price, at least when I replaced ours after 6 years of ownership. It might be worth just replacing it (and going to the bigger model if you don't have it yet) so that you have no surprises... -

Zip kit and fluid change, now won't go past 5th
It's nice that Columbia Roving would redirect you, rather than upcharge you. That's customer service IMO. -

Zip kit and fluid change, now won't go past 5th
I did not, what I'd recommend is to call them and explain what the other shop told you, and see which gives you the most comfort that they know what they're doing. -

Zip kit and fluid change, now won't go past 5th
I can only answer the question about Portland: there's are three shops I've gone to, Columbia Roving, Green Oval, and PDX British. Columbia Roving did the fluid flush and cooling system, but struggled with alignment. Green Oval did the timing chains, and apparently also the cooling system... -

Can the metal crossovers for the SC V8 fit on the NA V8 (since you have both on hand)? I'd seen the rear ones for the SC V6, but they're longer to account for the missing cylinders. -

Suspension fault back and rear sensor
The fact the rear left sensor voltage is reading as zero would point in the direction of wiring. Can you confirm the voltage reading at the sensor itself? You should see ~5v at the sensor input - if you don't then the supply wiring is suspect. You should see a non-zero value at the sensor... -

It all makes sense to me: the timing marks are to help you set the right number of chain links between gears, but the crank gears are small so it take a lot of rotations to feed through the entire timing chain length. If things initially aligned with the marks the only way for it to get out of... -

Did you check that two rotations of the crank allowed the HPFP lock to be inserted? The number of teeth on the gears is what counts. Good progress though! -

Project Dark Knight Rising
Ok, since the teeth count on the HPFP crank sprocket and HPFP shaft sprocket are both 20 teeth they'll stay in time. The timing marks are probably there just for initial install of the chain so that the tensioners are within spec. You should be able to check this by turning the engine 2... -

I take the 4 tooth thing back. 4 tooth per 140 rotations is 1 tooth per 35 rotations - how long is the chain, and how many teeth on the timing gear? Is the timing chain specific to the timing gear used? -
F
Project Dark Knight Rising
The only way I can think of for the chain to shift is if its link count is not a multiple of the tooth count of the gear on the crankshaft. Would the tensioner system accommodated a chain with 4 more links (or 4 fewer, depending on which way the shift is going)? -

Anyone running 20" Defender wheels?
I'd stick with as small a wheel as possible to get at much sidewall as possible. Even the 19" seem too big when aired down, I'd rather have 18" if possible. -

Can't seem to be able to program homelink
I had a similar problem with our garage door openers, and it ended up being one of the remotes that was just triggering randomly, not the car. Did you reset the openers to clear all programmed remotes? I would try that and only pair the LR4 and see if it persists. I believe the homelink... -

Fuel Outlet Flange Recall and Other Services
As a dealer, it is their job to know. At the very least they should look up the recall instructions/parts list and not wait for the customer to provide it, after asserting that the part isn't included. They might not know, but they are too lazy to figure it out and figure they can just have... -

Water leaking just started yesterday, HELP
The air intake for the cabin ventilation is just underneath the cowl, and water can drip into it if it gets between the windshield and the cowl (which can happen due to aging). Folks have made 'extensions' for the sheet metal that is intended to prevent that, to keep the water dripping down. -

Fuel Outlet Flange Recall and Other Services
I see a pattern in this dealer offering to charge for things that are already included, e.g. the filter, and now the sender that's on the pump. I'd be very wary of having them touch my car. Will JLR cover the repair being done at an indy shop, and do you have a good one locally? -

Fuel Outlet Flange Recall and Other Services
Assuming JLR corporate reimburses the dealer for the recall service, it boggles the mind that they would attempt to double charge. -

Transmission “Free Wheeling”
I've been paying more attention when driving down my street and can confirm that my LR4 will hold 2nd at 20mph and not upshift to third. Ends up in the 1500-2k rpm range. I'd venture yours is doing the same and that is normal. -

Transmission “Free Wheeling”
My LR4 holds gears going downhill nicely, allowing some amount of engine braking. I've also seen it hold a gear going uphill at what I consider fairly light throttle. How hilly is it where you usually drive, compared to Montreal? -

Prospeed product interest?
I dream of getting the full underbody armor kit from Prospeed. Unfortunately that's not in the cards, and I plan on getting the Tactical 4x4 rock sliders which provide compressor protection. [Edit to update reference to Tactical 4x4 rock sliders, not Terra Firma] -

Open to Suggestions
I believe lemforder put the stamp on when they make them. Mine had that area ground a bit to crudely remove the logo before paint.
