    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    I didnt even think to check that, but it isnt relevant since i replaced my lug nuts with "solid" nuts...no SS caps anymore. the reason for this was unrelated to my rattle noise...i was just tired of the slightly swelled/deformed nuts always getting stuck on the socket when i removed them...

    Questions about new purchase

    the "advertisement" booklet that describes the warranty isn't as important at the terms and conditions on the actual warranty contract. you'd be surprised the fine print in the contract that may contradict, or void out things listed in the booklet. To be honest, id be weary of any warranty on a...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    see post above....this is pretty much whats going on. except instead of frame, i think its between the gas tank and underside of body. with that said, even though i found A rattle, im still not convinced this is the one im looking for. the sound im hearing is more "tinny" than what i can...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    After more knocking around under the car, I've found a rattle ontop of the gas tank, of between the gas tank and bottom shield. Sounds like maybe a rock/pebble/screw/socket is bouncing and rolling around. Really annoying, but I guess I'll live with it. Dont want to drop the tank. Still not...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    i can definitely eliminate that since my trans doesn't have a heat shield. maybe its missing? or an omitted option on some models? either way, not there. thanks though.

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    I need suggestions of what to look for to fix this annoying rattle getting in my 2011 LR4. Ive been trying to track down a high pitched mettalic rattling sound, similar to that of a loose heat shield. It is very evident at lower speeds (10-40mph), coming from the rear passenger side, under...

    AC stops blowing cold air

    the AC system on this car doesn't seem much different than any other system Ive done DIY repairs on. the AC compressor in my LR4 didnt work at all when I bought the car. a set of manifold gauges confirmed there was 0 pressure in the system, preventing the system from engaging. i pulled a...

I have brought mine to Elite Motorsports (Farmingdale) for minor repairs.They dont necessarily specialize in Land Rover, but they do a good job on my other cars and they were...

    Firestone Air Strut Leak

    i just looked on ebay at multiple used OEM air struts, they all have a Firestone sticker on them. Firestone is most likely the actual manufacturer of the OEM part...

    Anyone use this oil in their SCV6 14-16 LR4?

    Im using this.... no complaints, but its only for a few hundred miles. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/land-rover-molygen-oil-change-kit-0w20-liqui-moly-kit-536247kt2 i cant say enough of how ridiculous it is to use the FCP euro lifetime replacement...it works on used oil and filters.

    DIY LR3 catalytic converter replacement - how difficult?

    keep in mind this fix is technically not legal. If your car is subject to safety inspection, and the shop actually does a thorough job and cares, they could fail it for this. If the shop simply plugs in the scanner and sees there are no codes, your good to go <--- this is what most shops do.

    Steering wheel shake

    i second its the tires. There is tire balancing, and there is tire balancing. Ive had tires "balanced" before by cheap shops. wheel shook. brought it to a reputable shop, re-balanced with a road force machine and the problem was gone.

    Firestone Air Strut Leak

    I just replaced one of my struts (with a gently used OEM replacement) and the replacement had a Firestone label on it. I was suprised to see this as well, but all the other signs of it being OEM were there....part number, manufacture date stamp, Land rover embossed in the shock body...

    DIY LR3 catalytic converter replacement - how difficult?

    Its not the correct fix, but have you considered adding o2 sensor spacers? its a trick people with no/or high flow cats use to trick the ECU into thinking the cats work properly. Essentially limits the exhaust flow that gets to the sensor. $20 and 30 minutes of your time.

    The never ending steering knock!!

    loose steering after hitting bumps is a sign of a bad shock. it will also cause a knock/hard rattle kind of sound as is "bounces"after hitting the bump. bad shocks are often mis-diagnosed on these cars since the airbag hides symptoms and visual inspection. I just went though this on my LR4...

    Why is the "most capable 4x4" so fragile ?

    depending on the wear of your control arms, they may be rusted into place, require cutting them to remove. in this case, you will need to replace the arm/bushing assemblies. If your lucky, they wont be rusted into place, you can replace bushings only. replace the bushing with OEM/Equal or Poly...

    Well crap!

    Besides draining coolant and removing the fan shroud, there is not really any shared work between the coolant pipe(s) or water pump replacement. I dont really see a reason to add this to the cost, unless you want to do it as preventative. Based on my carfax, the water pump has been replaced 2x...

    On the driver door window control buttons, the front of the controls has a "L" and "R" button, with a knob between it. select L or R, depending which mirror you want to adjust and use the knob to make the adjustment.

    Ive done it on my Audi 2x, and 1x on the Rover. first time using the FCP return policy was 2 years ago. Never had an issue. i live 1 state away from FCP's return address, so return shipping isn't bad. Both of my cars take a significant amount of oil, so it makes it very worth the...

    Time for new injectors?

    I'd assume bad wiring harness, leading up to the injectors. Maybe the wire was bad prior to install, moved and made worse during install. Open circuit for all injectors would not be an actual injector issue
