Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Finally got it back. After 8 days. Almost didn't make it as they reported that the techs needed mandatory training this morning. But it's good. Seems fixed. No fuel smell. They said it was very clearly the busted flange. Guessed that perhaps it was improperly torqued during initial... -
Any word on when the Diesel engine will be shipping?
In the states? No way. That's great. I wouldn't get it if there's a lag. I delt with that for many years and now that I have an LR4 that responds to the throttle immediately...not going back! :)- toddjb122

How to clean BLACK painted strip between doors?
Thanks. I do use 303 on most things as well. That stuff is great. I wish the prior owner of my 2013 had used it on the black plastic cowl below the windshield. Because it's now light gray after a few years in the Florida sun. (I've tried the re-black products in the past, but found while... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
An example of why I avoid service at my dealership whenever possible... I call for service. Am told they can't get me in for 10 days. Wake up early the Tuesday of appointment to get the car in their hands by 8:AM. Am told, "Sorry. Backed up. The tech won't get to it until tomorrow." "Why... -
How to clean BLACK painted strip between doors?
How do you clean that thick black painted strip between the front passenger and rear passenger windows? I have one greasy fingerprint wipe from a kid, and another spot where someone touched it with sunscreen. That is an odd matte finish and nothing I try seems to get off the residue. I've... -
Any word on when the Diesel engine will be shipping?
Mainly curious if anyone has gotten to test drive it yet. I believe I read here that the diesel may lag the petrol version for some reason, although, when I was considering pre-order they didn't seem to limit me on what I could buy.- toddjb122

Discover Sport Preview (while LR4 was in for service)
Have had a loaded 2016 Discovery Sport for the past week while my LR4 is in for service. Was fun to drive the new Sport so here are my takeaways if anyone is considering getting one. (I'm comparing to my old 2005 LR3, my "new" 2013 LR4 and my wife's 2013 Q5.) PROs The electronics are great... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Finally! After the 4th request to a mechanic somebody listened to me and dropped the tank. I don't have it back yet, but the dealership is telling me "cracked apart fuel tank flange gasket." Here's a photo. I think you are supposed to see the white flange extending evenly under the black... -
Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)
Still don't know how to test mine. I've had some short duration fogging a couple times due to humidity/temp disparity. I turn on the heated windshield and I don't see any faint lines appear in the fog by the wires. But I don't recall if it used to or if this is more for ice. Be nice if I had... -
LR5 Release Updates?
How do we get the moderators here to add a new board? There has been a request on the Site Comments board for weeks. It would be really nice if they had a non-luxury base version of the Defender. Mirroring the base LR4s you can get in the UK that don't have plush interiors, sunroofs, etc. The...- toddjb122

LR5 Release Updates?
Finally saw the new Discovery in the dealership today. Have to say, after all the hype and long looks at the glossy online build brochure... it looked very ordinary. I have no doubt the electronics (driver assistance, crazy adapting headlights, heads-up display, cameras galore, etc.) will be...- toddjb122

Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Pasted all of your good info into one page to share with the mechanic. Thanks much. Had I known this when it was with an independent mechanic, I may haven been able to convince him to drop the tank! Seems to be an over reliance on computer error codes to diagnose problems. I guess they've... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Manta, wow, thanks for following up! Were you NOT getting an error code either? What is the part called? Wasn't sure if it is just known as a gas tank flange (sounds vague), but I want to make sure they check that next week. I'm going to have to tell the dealer "You won't see error codes, you... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
This is just a gripe post. Sharing the frustration. No solution yet. First, just after the 30 day CarMax "we'll fix anything" period I concluded this was a problem and not a venting gas can in my garage. Second, I mentioned it to my regular LR mechanic, who's great, but a small shop. Has... -
2013 LR4 owners need your help
Yup, that's the right approach. I'm assuming it was covered by insurance and they are supposed to replace it factory fresh. When I had body work done on my LR3 they missed all kinds of stuff like that. They fixed the ones I noticed, but over the years I'd continually notice things they... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
I was getting no error codes. No check engine light. My truck just smells like gas after I drive it. Putting it in a hot garage after a drive will make you nauseous! Taking it back in this week, unfortunately. I know they avoid dropping the tank until they absolutely have to, but my... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
I'll let you know. When he did the smoke test it was pouring out of where the valve is, so he suspected it was just stuck open. Also, while any leaks should have caused an error, the DMTL is what runs the self tests for the computer so maybe this is an achilles heel of the system... if the... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Smoke test pointed to the DMTL Pump. I'm told part of that assembly is supposed to vent pressure differences between the tank and the outside, and perhaps the solenoid controlled plunger on mine is stuck full open. Awaiting warranty approval, part, install and then follow-up testing to confirm... -
OT, Range Rover dropped his subwoofer...
Just that. Otherwise perfect. ;) -
OT, Range Rover dropped his subwoofer...
Some off topic entertainment... I should put this on the RR page, but I don't know those guys, I know yous guys. ;) Anyway, the article stated this was a bad J turn attempt. Wait for it... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Have had the '13 LR4 a little over a month now and have noticed this smell but didn't think much of it until recently. (I thought the smell was due to a gas can stored in the garage, that I have since removed). After driving, there is a gas odor near the passenger rear tire. It's getting... -
Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)
Nope, it says this on the bottom passenger corner; Website lists it as a US auto glass manufacturer. I hope it's good! -
Two LR4 Questions (Windshield & USB)
Just realized that the windshield they put in was aftermarket, not LR. Any issues I should look out for? Man, when someone else is paying, they always cut corners.... :frown: -
Poor Throttle Pedal Response Issue - Anyone else?
I think my 2013 (55K) does that. I just press the pedal harder. :) I just got the truck so I can't comment if it's always been like that. Maybe get the throttle body cleaned and throw some BG 44K in there. See if that helps. Can't hurt! -
How To remove LR3/LR4 Plastic Caps securing Roof ditch molding
Yeah, I tried something similar with various tools, but mine would not budge. It must all vary depending on age where the truck spent that time. I can't tell you how frustrating the job was and then how simple and effortless the ultimate solution was. I want to remove more plastic caps...
