    Brief engine clatter after a long trip - if not chains, what is it?

    update: drove it around this morning, nothing. cold startup is nice and quiet, it settles into a nice idle, then warms up quickly. Didn't notice any clattering but also didn't go far. Will keep an eye on it. Might also do a pre-emptive oil change. Really weird, hoping it's not chains as I love...

    Brief engine clatter after a long trip - if not chains, what is it?

    Just got back from a 2.5hr trip which included all highway driving and one high power, high speed uphill run. Approaching the garage, noticed the engine is clattering. and clattering significantly. A rhythmic loud ticking, rev-dependent - sounds a LOT like failing rod bearings on a v8 BMW(ask me...

    Problem when locking the car.

    I would say it's one of the individual door push pin sensors, or the latch sensor in the tailgate. It might throw a code too, check that if you have an IID tool.

    Problem when locking the car.

    when this happens, the car thinks one of the doors or the hatch aren't fully shut. If they are all shut, there is a sensor at fault somewhere or a short.

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    I am also wondering if this was a full engine swap or a retrofit of an SC onto an existing N/A 5.0. Would love to hear more, truck looks great!

    Coyote or LS3 Engine Swap for LR4?

    It's interesting that the link above mentions a 5.0, meaning this should theoretically work with LR4s. I am assuming the trans also gets swapped to a GM 6l80e or equivalent. Thinking an N/A 6.0 in an LR4 would be a good match.

    Bleeding coolant woes...... help needed!

    I have to say the schwaben vacuum bleeder tool is a godsend and I fully endorse it.

    Air suspension reliability?

    I would concur that it's generally reliable. I replaced my front struts/bags with Arnotts but that's because the struts were worn despite the airbags being fine. At 110k, it has otherwise been rock solid.

    The curious case of the missing LR4 Antenna

    For brakes, I got the zimmerman/pagid kit(all 4 corners) from FCPEuro and have been very happy with them so far.

    Brembo Brake Upgrade - 2013 LR4

    Looks awesome! Any feedback compared to stock? Also where did you source the parts? Was told the calipers could be tricky to find.

    Brembo Brake Upgrade - 2013 LR4

    Do you re-bed every so often? I bedded them in after install but wondering if it's prudent to re-bed every 4k miles or so, to keep the deposits even.

    Brembo Brake Upgrade - 2013 LR4

    Really happy with these zimmermanns. I forgot what smooth braking felt like. I got the set from FCP Euro, 4 rotors and 4 sets of pads were 398. Plus, there is that whole lifetime warranty thing...

    fold outside mirrors when locked

    On another note, how did you reset your service indicator? I have failed multiple times and it still says 'service required' every time i start the truck.

    Brembo Brake Upgrade - 2013 LR4

    I have been dealing with bad braking vibrations from the front of my 2013, which I traced to cheap rotors that have gotten uneven deposits on them. On a recent trip to NH, one of the rear caliper pins decided to start dragging and ended up wearing one of the rear pads to the metal, where it...

    magnaflow on LR4 - any ground clearance issues?

    I have not done this on the LR4 but I have had good luck with removing just the rear-most muffler/mufflers on my previous V8 vehicles, while keeping the resonators, etc. As mentioned, that should run about $200 or so. Minimal drone too, since resonators/etc were not removed, just mufflers...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Thinking maybe a massive vacuum leak somewhere? a hose left unconnected, etc? or an intermittent connection with a critical sensor(CPS, etc).

    F yeah! Well done sir.

    FS: 2013 LR4 Front Bumper Cover - Nara Bronze - $40

    If anyone needs a front bumper cover for a 2010-2013 LR4, mine is available for cheap(I upgraded to an ARB bumper). Nara Bronze, great shape. Transfer your parking sensors and foglights and you are good to go! In DC area, pickup only.

    Transmission slip?

    do 2014+ even have a cable? I thought the 8hp trans was all electronic from the dial selector to the trans itself. In your case, I'd also check the brake switch(under the pedal) or maybe the rotary shifter itself. Sorry, not too familiar with the newer rotary dial shifters.

    2012 LR4 V-8 vs 2015 LR4 V-6 Quirks

    Sounds like you made a better choice. The v8 is great and that auto stop/start feature is beyond annoying. Out of curiosity, did they elaborate on the sandcrab comment? Would like to know what that entails so as to watch out for it. Did the 15 have the HD pack?

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    the oem design of the pan and filter is one-piece, so if you want to drain and refill and replace with oem, you will have to raise the engine a fair amount in order to clear the crossmember and remove the pan+filter. If you cut off the filter and ditch the one-piece design and do the conversion...

    very sudden loud clicking and fan noise... is my rover near death?

    On another note, why are the fan clutches for these cars so expensive? I'm used to Behr clutches for other cars being ~$100. wtf.

    Emission inspections and start/stop battery disabled

    One thing to point out - if you clear your codes right before going in for an emissions test, you will fail. This is because OBD2 cars have a series of readiness monitors that have to be in 'ready' state and when you clear your codes, they get reset and it takes time for them to become 'ready'...

    Emission inspections and start/stop battery disabled

    I think as long as the CEL isn't on and all the readiness monitors are set, you should pass. I sincerely doubt(but could be wrong) that they actually care about what codes are being tripped. Certain codes trip the CEL, so at least in DC, that's all they care about.

    STJLR.51.5122

    you can absolutely(and should) use any quality synthetic 5w20 or 0w20 oil in your LR4. Change every 5k. Done.
