    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    I personally think the timing chain issue is overblown. I'm almost confident that we have had way more blown engines on this forum from crossover pipes splitting apart. Now if you're running 15k oil change intervals, you're screwed IMO.

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    I agree. Not sure about the V6 but the V8 has a great torque band. Transmission rarely hunts gears even while towing.

    2013 AC not cold - Refrigerant pressure good - Not intermittant

    You can view the evaporator temperature on the IID tool. Should be driving at a constant speed for the lowest temp, or for a slightly warmer temp, in park. Not sitting at 0 mph in drive because the viscous fan isn't spinning as fast. I have a slightly different problem. AC works great until...

    2011 LR4 immobilzer questions..

    Even if the vehicles unlocked and you press the start button the TFT screen in the dash should light up and tell you it can’t find the key.

    LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold

    That’s a good point about the coolant not being fully bled out, didn’t OP just replace their crossover pipes? Maybe you just need to spend more time bleeding out more air. Telling you, vacuum bleeder is the way.

    2013 LR4 Rear Axle Fault, Stability control not available, Emergency brake assist not available, HDC not available system fault

    Do you think you shorted something out? I’d keep checking fuses. Are you able to read codes with a GAP tool or similar? Should be able to get a ton of codes off of that and probably get a better idea of what module is not working properly.

    LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold

    I wouldn’t really take the heat into consideration. I live in AZ and my coolant temperature/level is the same regardless if it’s 50° or 115° outside. No loss of coolant or smell. You definitely have something else going on.

    LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold

    I would do a pressure test and a block test. I had a car fail a block test (due to a bad head gasket) and it ran perfectly, without overheating. Shouldn't be pressurized that much after sitting overnight. M32H32IS where is your coolant level when your engines running/after shutdown?

    What kind of leak is this?

    That code should go away pretty quickly. I had a reduced performance light pop up after some maintenance, due to not fully seating a connector. Reseated the connection and fired up and all was good. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Wheels and Tires?

    There are a few CCF settings relate to tire size/radius/rolling diameter that you can change with am IID tool. I've tried getting my car perfect, and it's accurate up until about 83 MPH and then it starts getting skewed.

    Dual engine air intake channels

    Would be an awesome project, but would add drag and make our MPG even worse lol.

    What kind of leak is this?

    +1 vote for the vacuum filler. I bought a cheap one from Amazon and it was great. Did a radiator replacement and made filling my system a breeze, with no air bubbles or anything weird going on.

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    I was having a very infrequent fueling problem that has since been fixed since I had the recall done. Every so often I wasn’t able to properly fuel my vehicle (pump would shut off after adding 3 gallons or so to a nearly empty tank) This hasn’t happened since the recall. No idea if it’s...

    Does my engine sound normal?

    Thanks for the info. I’ll check out my engine stats too and post them in a few days so we can get some base line data.

    Lr4 Brakes

    That's good to know. So I have 77,000 miles on the OEM brake rotors... I know, that's a lot and they are probably out of spec. They have only recently started to have a slight vibration while braking at higher speeds and lower brake pressures. I've replaced the rear brake pads twice, and the...

    What kind of leak is this?

    If you're just looking under the vehicle for coolant, you might not find anything. Skid plate will catch a lot of it.

    Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)

    Just lookup “U-Type fastener clips” on Amazon or eBay or something. I’m sure you can find a generic kit with the correct size. I just took the trim off my tailgate and was able to find the clip that fell, so I got lucky.

    Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)

    Those look correct for the lower tailgate trim screws. However, if they're lost there is a chance that the metal U-Type fastener clips that the screws thread into got dropped into the tailgate.

    Does my engine sound normal?

    That's not normal. All of the injector noise is normal, but not that other noise that isn't as consistent.

    Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input

    Coil overs are for Toyotas. The air suspension is one of my favorite parts of this vehicle. I’m on a LR3/4 Facebook group and everyone there overblows the timing chain and air suspension problems.

    Showoff Your LR4

    I have zero concern about my timing chain (2013, do 7500 mile oil changes with Mobil 1 EP) However if you have no record of the crossover pipes being changed, 100% get them changed over to the new part. That is something that 100% will fail. Mine were changed around 60k miles and I'd find it...

    Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)

    I have a pair of calipers that I'll measure bolts/fasteners with to get an exact match. Material is hit or miss, I generally go for the better material/higher grade.

    Modernize the infotainment without hacking :P

    I think the best solution is the Naviplus integration. Retains everything except the built in navigation. I think they also have the steering wheel controls sorted out now too. I'm probably going to give one of these units a shot soon. I've been shopping around for Defenders and Discovery 5's...

    Alternatives to GAP tool?

    It sounds like he’s just trying to cover his ass. I’m not sure if he uses Shopify or another e-commerce platform, but a lot of them have protections against stuff that might result in them getting scammed. Order it from Lucky 8. They go on sale during Black Friday and occasionally other...

    Alternatives to GAP tool?

    I’ve had great experiences with Patrick from GAP. What do you mean they won’t ship it?
