    LR4 Diff & TCase lifespan

    My cars transfer case was making metal. Dealership just said they found metal in the transfer case oil, and boom, new transfer case. Never saw how bad/not bad it was since it was under warranty, but I don't think I've heard of anyone else having transfer case problems. Probably would have...

    Just had my 2013 done today. In and out in one day.

    How To - DIY - 2016 LR4 - F/R Crossover Pipes, Water Pump, Thermostat, Coolant, Supercharger Oil, Supercharger Coupling

    Just a heads up, my 2013’s crossover pipes started to leak around 50-60k. Forget the actual mileage, but I could check for you if you want.

    What should I strip off this LR3 for spare parts for my LR4?

    Are those the 18" wheels? Probably worth while if you off road. Any idea why it made it into a junk yard? The 4.4 V8s are supposed to be pretty reliable. I've been eyeing up LR3s as another vehicle, but with fuel going up I'm not sure I want two bricks in my garage.

    Looking for a decently priced 2011 LR4 engine 5.0 non supercharged

    I read the alternator is waterproof in a brochure, or some Land Rover document. I tried finding that same document a while back, and couldn't. Not sure about anything else though.

    Only 5 quarts of oil drained second oil change in a row (also… drain plug?)

    I pulled my drain plug after sucking oil out with an extractor and didn’t get much at all from the plug. Maybe 3 ounces or so. I can usually pull out around 7-8 quarts so my Discos consuming a small amount of oil after 7500 miles, but not as much as yours. Do you periodically check the oil...

    Clunk/knock, starting to get concerned.

    Body mounts? Like the bolts that hold the body onto the frame??!

    Lost communication with parking brake

    If you see the error and don't have any usability issues I wouldn't worry about it. My Disco has a few rogue codes that don't seem to actually mean anything.

    Just exceeded warranty, where is everyone buying oil and Filters from to perform fluid change

    Don't high mileage oils contain additives to slightly swell seals to prevent smaller leaks? I've been under the assumption that you shouldn't switch to high mileage oil unless your vehicles showing a reason to, and once you switch you shouldn't switch back.

    LR4 at 100k questions/issues

    I’d go for the fluid change and you’ll probably see an improvement. As far as the battery, my car (with a new H8 sized battery) does the same thing. Land Rover is pretty conservative. If you just want to play music, with the car off, hit the power button on the radio volume knob and it’ll come...

    Coolbox Install

    Alligator clips directly to the battery might work if you’re careful not to short anything.

    detachable hitch receiver

    Hit the bottom (metal) part of the hitch with a hammer. You can hit upward and side to side gently and it should pop out. Do this while holding the knob outward to detach it. Somewhat awkward but it'll come. I store my hitch in my garage so it doesn't try and weld itself in.

    2011 LR4 HSE overheating

    Head gaskets failing on these are rare (unless the vehicle was overheated) The most common overheating issue is due to the crossovers cracking. There's a lot of threads about the crossover pipes. I believe the water pumps can leak a bit as well, and I had a hairline crack in my radiator...

    How many miles are on the engine?

    Fan Performance code - P0483-36

    The connection for the viscous fan is towards the top of the fan itself, should be hooked onto the fan shroud if I remember correctly. I think its on the drivers side.

    bragging !

    There's a setting on the GAP Tool in the CCF. I think its under instrument cluster or something. I won't be around my car for a few days but I can find the setting if no one else does when I get back.

    bragging !

    Ehh, if they're going off the trip meter I can almost promise that it's wrong. Calculate a few tanks by hand. My car is about 8% off (I've since calibrated it with my GAP tool and it reads more accurately now)

    Anyone Have this Service Manual?

    You can find this (for free) on a land rover facebook group. Don't go buying it from some sketch website. It's also all from Topix, which is LRs official platform for mx procedures. PM me.

    OVERHEATING

    Vacuum bleeding is the way. I replaced my radiator, bled it with a vacuum bleeder kit from Amazon, and haven't had any issues since. Didn't even crack a bleeder screw.

    ENGINE SHOT

    Failed timing chain replacement? For it to fail 400 miles after a large job like that, leads me to believe it wasn't done properly or something else was also wrong. How much longer are you under warranty for?

    Just exceeded warranty, where is everyone buying oil and Filters from to perform fluid change

    You need the correct filter socket. The traditional oil filter clamps/straps don't even nearly get close to working. I have the 5.0 V8, so I've been running Mobil 1 5W-20 EP like a lot of other forum members here. No issues as far as we're aware. Minus getting a filter, should be good to go.

    Water leak from dome light?

    The front portion of the headliner is also super easy to pull down too. Remove a pillar trim (Torx bolt behind the airbag cover), remove both sun visors and grab handles, and it drops right down.

    5.0 V8 Fueling and Efficiency Questions

    I generally always run premium (91 in AZ) as well, and I agree with the knock sensor reta-rding the timing. I think the quality of the fuel is going to play a more important role over time. I almost always fuel at a station with Top Tier fuel (Costco in my case.)

    Tailgate Brake Light Plastic Faded

    Oh yeah, misread the title, but I'd still go with a restoration kit.
