    Starting issue

    My research suggests starter solenoid starting to fail, so a new starter is needed. No issue with battery not charging (I.e. battery or alternator issue). Sound about right?

    Starting issue

    Hi, 2010 V8 105k miles. A couple of times over the past 6 months you go to start it and there's a click and nothing else. Repeat starting a few times and all okay. Has now happened several times over past 24hrs. This morning also turned over for a fraction of a second, before faltering and then...

    Air compressor hose disconnection????

    So.........trying to take out the Hitachi compressor on my 2010. I cannot get the two air lines equipped with metal quick connect fittings to release at the rear of the unit? Squirted with WD40, tried placing an open ended wrench head and pressing it against the quick release while pulling on...

    LR bolt specs?

    Not sure a screw extractor would work as bolt head snapped off. It may loosen as I drill it out.

    LR bolt specs?

    Well I am hoping the other three bolt shafts are larger dia as they are holding the weight of the compressor. The single bolt on the underside of the plastic case is not holding much weight. It snapped immediately without much torque. I sprayed the other three bolts holding the bracket with...

    LR bolt specs?

    Yes, obvs metric is metric. Its the thread pitch that I guess puzzles me. As an example, I wanted to clean up the threads on the half shafts. Bought a "shark tooth" gauge to determine the thread pitch, but was not very definitive re. Determining what die size to buy.

    LR bolt specs?

    Hi, Bolt size specs have always been a mystery to me. I am in Canada so we have north American sizing systems and also metric. LR bolts take metric spanners so obvs metric sized bolts, but is there more than one metric system? I ask because the lower air compressor bolt that holds the plastic...

    Transmission oil leak........

    Well that was a doddle! Kept an eye on temp using a BBQ thermometer on the outside of the pan. No risk of cat burns using a socket extension. Added a litter, of which 500ml or so probably leaked when I messed with it yesterday. Did not have new filler plug, but have booked it into get the leak...

    Correct procedure for checking transmission fluid level on 2010 LR4 URGENT! :(

    So I presume the torque for the plug is 35Nm. Only need to do the calculation if I am using a torque wrench attached to the end of the special tool?

    Transmission oil leak........

    Thats for LR3. Same procedure for LR4? I am thinking yes. Agreed re. iffy on jack stands. I have two sets of 10inch high ramps. Can get it nicely off the ground using all four. Doesn't help with burns from cat though :( No time to take it to my mechanic before trip

    Correct procedure for checking transmission fluid level on 2010 LR4 URGENT! :(

    Hi, Relating to my earlier post. On Monday departing on 6k km road trip. Noticed transmission oil leak and decided to check level with engine turned off. Gingerely removed filler plug and fluid gushed out! Oh dear.......... can only find links to LR3 procedure for checking level which involves...

    Transmission oil leak........

    So I read an LR3 transmisison fluid posting and the guy referenced that you need to have the engine running when checking the transmission fluid level or it will gush out when you unscrew the plug: "1. Don't be an idiot like I was, don't accidentally unscrew the filler plug all the way until...

    Transmission oil leak........

    I HATE LR4's! Put it up on axle stands with the body level and very slowly unscrewed the fill plug to check the level. Suddenly fluid comes gushing out!! ??? Probably lost a cup or so of fluid. Panicked replacement of plug. Plan B is take fluid with me and if any weirdness from gearbox I will go...

    Transmission oil leak........

    And I gave the garage a new one of those to replace when they did the pan and they did not fit it! However not clear if that is the culprit. Will check level and top up if needed until I can get it into garage.

    Transmission oil leak........

    Hi, So obvs 2 days before leaving on a 6k km road trip I notice what appears to be a tranny fluid leak. The leak appears to be coming from beyond the front of the pan. The lower section of the gearbox housing appears damp. The fluid is moving backwards resulting in the front half of the pan...

    Control Arm and Sway Bar advice

    They may have forgotten to re-attach brake sensor, or it was not fully seated. I had a sway bar linkage pop apart on one side. Primarily on road driving so can happen any time. A decent *** hole might do it if linkage worn i suspect.

    Rear brake pad weirdness and EPB repair mutterings

    Must say the design principles of floating calipers eludes me. The piston comes out and pushes the inner pad which contacts the rotor. But what causes the outer pad to contact the rotor? There is no spring loaded retraction anywhere, so when foot off brakes the pads remain in contact with rotor...
