    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    already checked if the noise persists with brake pressure; made no difference with light or full brake application. just to be sure, i removed the pads, caliper, and the rotor. nothing was loose inside the drum, cleaned the brake pad clips, re-lubed all parts and reinstalled. made no difference...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    i again tried to search for this rattle....no luck. this time i replaced the sway bar endlink. even though the endlink looked good, figured for $20 and about 1hr, it was worth a shot. made no difference. i think im done trying to solve this. its an annoying sound, but not an actual problem.

    Water in Passenger Footwell

    follow up to my post from last week... in order to make sure im not overlooking anything, i sealed the cowl to the windshield. there was s small 1/6" gap in a few places. resolved this by using butyl to stick the cowl down. stretched the ribbon to be about 1/8" diameter, used a plastic dash...

    Clunk/knock, starting to get concerned.

    i would check everything related to sway bars. the torsion when going up a slant/turning into a driveway is when sway bars are most stressed. it be willing to bet one of the bushing mounts is damaged or loose. i had this exact issue on my Audi. it ended up being a loose body under body...

    Water in Passenger Footwell

    the car is new to me for only 5k miles...the first 138k miles of its life were under a previous owner. It does appear the windshield has been replaced at some time though, as it is not Land Rover branded. There are no plugs in the sill, just straight runs of wire. any plugs are up the pillars...

    tip of the week. Coolant level sensor

    random reply to a 2yr old thread. but this makes me wonder of the placement of the sensor. I understand one fo the problems of crossover pipe failure is that the sensor in the bottom of the coolant tank doesnt allow for any warning until the tank is empty. has anyone relocated the sensor to a...

    Water in Passenger Footwell

    ill add my contribution to this thread... It rained (downpoured) Monday night. Drove my car tuesday, no issues got in the car Wednesday, smelled like wet dog. a quick touch of the passenger carpet determined it was soaked. nearly puddled. this was concealed under the rubber floor mats. pulled...

    LR4 windshield replacement

    for some reason I assume everyone has glass coverage on their car? I know the cost of it is pennies compared to out of pocket cost. Pilkington is the brand to get, if you must get aftermarket. i would highly suggest OEM though. especially if insurance is paying for it.

    Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?

    you are correct. the Ineos was discussed in the defender thread. i just remembered it had been brought up.

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    thanks for the things to ponder. i have since given up on the "gas tank rattle" being the culprit, as it was not high pitched or easily to reproduce as with such little force. i also had the wife hang her head out the window and said it was definitely coming from more of the rear of the car...

    Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?

    i think there is a recent thread about this already. obviously a great car for anyone who wants a "true" defender. JLR has been making more refined cars for years now. steps above the crude-ness of the classic defender (and assuming Ineos). 95% of LR sales are to people that want luxury, but...

    GOBI Rack Issue

    I assume you spoke to your dealer after GOBI said they had no record of the order? what did your dealer say? assuming you paid by credit, may want to open a dispute sooner than later, just to make sure that the time limit doesn't pass.

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    give that drive cycle a try. no idea what Cataclean is, but dont use it....yet. no need to try and fix a problem that doesn't exist. if the cats weren't working effectively, you would get a CEL. im suprised to hear that 200 miles isnt enough to set readiness, but some cars do take longer than...

    LR4 V8 smog help - catalytic monitor won't get to ready state

    Yes, the cats need to go through certain cycles before they are "Ready". I am not sure what he specifics are. usual daily driving, a couple starts per day, drive over 50mph for at least part of those drives. allow to cool down between drives. do this for 3-4 days and all should be set. have...

    Crossover Pipe Bursted on V8

    assuming there is no damage, besides failed crossover pipes, there is actually very little that need to be removed to replace them. any additional precautionary work is not really included in the labor for this repair. none of the items you mention need to be touched.

    Lr4 5.0 HSE only normal height available

    Google shows compressors ranging from $300-850. I think its a rather easy DIY replacement, but you will need and IID tool.

    How do you keep your rims clean?

    pretty much any iron remover will do the trick. P21s, suggested above. I like Carpro Iron X these will clean your wheels with much less scrubbing than normal wheel cleaner. the dust literally drips off. However a DIY cermaic coating of the wheels will help keep dust form sticking. I used...

    Lr4 5.0 HSE only normal height available

    do you have an IID tool? if yes, scan and report the codes here. and do you notice any ride height visual problems? does the car lower significantly when sitting overnight? does the compressor run for a long amount of time when adjusting the height? it should only run for 1-2 minutes. you can...

    Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?

    to "fuel" the debate, I have exclusively used BJ's wholesale club 93 octane gas in my RS7 for 3 years, in my S4 for 3 years, and in my 350Z for 4 years....never had any fueling issues. their gas is definitly not considered "top tier". I actually think they use whatever fuel supplier is cheapest...

    Buying a used high mileage 2010 LR4

    i was in a similar situation about 5 months ago. bought a 2011 LR4 HSE LUX with 138k miles. Paid $10,500 out the door...taxes and registration included. that puts the actual selling price at about $9,200. Carfax indicated it was at the dealer every 5-10k miles. None of the major problems were...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    I dont think lug nuts changed over the years for the LR4. you shouldnt have a problem finding a replacement set. i got a set off ebay for $40. nothing special, but they work...
