    New noise. Timing chain?

    2013(and 2014-2016) models still need guides, just less often. #1 way to ensure you don't need them is to do frequent oil changes and not trust the ridiculous 15k interval.

    ARB Summit Bar - 2013 LR4

    On another note, anyone know if any shop has these in stock and ready to ship? LK8 is out of stock, my original source is out and I don't want to wait 2 mos for the Aussies to ship me one. Thanks!

    Lower Control Arm ball-joint

    I was gonna do this initially at 80k but when i took the arms out, they were rusted to shit so I just decided to replace the whole damn things. IMO, it's not worth pressing out the ball-joints themselves.

    ARB Summit Bar - 2013 LR4

    It seems the loom is unnecessary as the factory wiring is adequate for the ARB foglights...

    ARB Summit Bar - 2013 LR4

    I am close to pulling the trigger on an ARB Summit front bumper for my 2013 LR4 and had a couple questions for people who already have one. I know it's listed for 14-16 LR4s but I know it works on 10-13 models as well, and I've seen it on a 13 in person. I will not be installing a winch on it...

    rotella T6 5w-40 for 2011 LR4

    The D2 engine is nothing like the Jag 5.0 in the 2011. 5w40 is too thick for these engines.

    Transmission issue when cold?

    I don't quite buy the 'bad clutch' argument because if a clutch is bad, it usually slips but at least the gear engages. In this case, 2nd gear isn't even engaging. I think the rebuilt valve body is a smart move and will most likely fix this issue. Sorry you had to go through it. Edit: just saw...

    Front Wheel Bearings - Question

    The play was reduced but it's still not gone. I will try to torque them again with the wheel on the ground, that's a great suggestion. If still wobbling, might be time for new bearings again. Dammit.

    Front Wheel Bearings - Question

    A question to those of you who have replaced your front wheel bearings. I replaced mine a couple of months ago as preventative maintenance/100k thing, especially since I had a new pair laying around that I got from the UK(Optimal bearings from Germany with some long warranty, etc). When wrapping...

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    A couple things/thoughts: 1) absolutely reset the adaptations using IID tool. 2) it sounds like the fluid level is better now as it's moving on its own. that's progress! I would check it again though - you said they added 4qts? When I did this job, I ordered 8 liters of oil and the trans took...

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    Yup, it needs to be level. There is a very specific refilling procedure that involves checking the temp, then counting drips, etc. It does sound like you did everything right and just messed up the actual filling. An indy should be able to drain and refill the fluid properly for you.

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    That might be the issue then - there wasn't enough fluid to build up pressure to force an actual gear change. Dumb question but was your car level when you did this?

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    sounds like the slide lever is not connected properly to the valve body(or somehow got disconnected) so the dash knows you're in a gear but the valve body itself does not. Unfortunately will have to drop the pan and fluid and make sure that part is connected properly. Sorry!

    I remember these going in much much tighter than what came out. Should hold pressure really well. I think you're fine. And yes, that harness had to come out. You're almost there!

    V8 owners try this and let me know: sand mode

    Snow mode makes it start out in second gear all the time, for one. I'd also like to see a 400hp BMW that weighs 5600+ lbs...but yeah. I've used snow mode extensively this season and in some hairy stuff - it's designed to keep you from losing control, and that's about it. Doesn't allow for much...

    Correct Tire Pressure on LR4 running 275/55 R20 BFG AT KO2s

    I run 275 55 20s but 117XL load rating. I've found that 42-44psi is a sweet spot.

    Getting tires installed at Discount Tire - Lift Concerns?

    nope. lift like any other car. Be prepared to marvel at the articulation of the rear suspension.

    Fun with Tire Plugs...

    find a different shop. None of the shops I've used for tire repair care about it already being plugged, etc. If the leak is in the plug, they'll pull it out and put a new one in. That policy is asinine.

    Also don't forget to reset the adaptations with the IID tool after filling it with fluid.

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    In that case, it can be done in one day. I would allot most of the day though, just to be safe. I'd say 4hrs on the mechatronic unit is reasonable. Edit: I say this because there are a couple of instances(where you separate the halves of the unit, for instance) where there's a chance springs...

    2013 LR4 - Transmission Sonnax Zip Kit Completed - The Results

    That part took us a couple of days. This was mostly because you have to order the new separator plate once you take off the pan, and you don't know what model plate it is until the pan is off. Regardless, I recommend going step by step and really taking your time. The instructions supplied with...

    Nokian WR G4 SUV Tire Review (amazing in deep snow)

    I looked at these a while ago. My one concern was the SL load rating(although 113 should be sufficient by itself) Should be OK but something to keep in mind. These trucks are heavy.
