    Brake Sensor (Front) Damaged do I need to pull pads to install?

    No, you just need to attach the new one and the end of it inserts into a slot in the caliper as I recall

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    Does it have a seam along its length; I forget? Either way, if it catastrophically fails, big problem; I would replace sooner rather than later

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    Replaced it in August along with the front crossover. The original leak was from the crossover pipe seals

    Another Crossover / cooling system job

    Sounds like a project! I had a slow leak over a couple of yrs. Garage diagnosed the water pump and replaced it. Leak continued. The leak was from the front crossover seals. I replaced crossover and rear heater manifold pipe. Not sure if water pump was leaking. I had coolant sitting on top of...

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    I did ultimately bleed the system correctly, just not at first attempt. Thanks guys for your reassuring thoughts!

    P2019A error code

    Update! Have been trying to find time to put the new upstream O2 sensors on. Then after a month or two of being on, the CEL went off!! Either the bulb expired, or the fault self-fixed. Win-win regardless!! :) ....... waiting for it to come back on :(

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    Well, the garage did do a pressure test previously and could not detect the leaking crossover pipe seal, even though I had coolant dripping onto the driveway? And I have faith in them as have been using them for years

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    I like your reassuring thinking! I have zero experience with head gasket issues i.e. if they develop a small leak will it inevitably progress to a catastrophic one? If heater core leaking would I be smelling coolant? Will replace the coolant tank cap as a precaution. Actually we have had a...

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    The coolant leak saga continues! To recap, water pump, crossover pipe and heater manifold pipe replaced in August in response to long term slow leak that was progressing. That seemed to fix it. Now noticing another even slower leak. Level drops bya few mm after 100 miles. This is where I...

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    Is this a North America wide recall? In Canada. Entered my 2010 LR4 VIN into the NHTSA website and came up with nothing.

    Blown Head gaskets

    Out of interest, after it over heated how long before the head gasket let go?

    Front End Suspension(?) Unidentified Noise

    I did the LCA's on my 2010 a few weeks back. Both rear bolts on each side had siezed. Went through 20 blades in my Sawzall cutting through them. Biggest pain was having to drive axles back through hub to get clearance to disengage the ball joint. Ended up buying an air hammer and renting a...

    Just received my notice to put my deposit down on a Grenadier

    Ahhhhhh.......... having watched all three grand tour cycling races this year I now know what type of company sponsors the Ineos Grenadier cycling team! Have I been living under an auotomotive stone? What gives - did they buy the rights to the old Defender design and are now building it...

    2010 upstream O2 sensor replacement - any tips?

    Just pondering replacing the upstream O2 sensors. Looks straightforward-ish in the manual. Had a quick look under the vehicle. LH side could not quite see the nut which holds on the elec connector cover - is this better accessed from the side with the front wheel off? Any tips? Have not done...

    Intro and oil type/interval/filter questions

    It's a bit of a prejudicial thing, Germany = good, China = bad, right? Just like Japan in the 1970s. I would second getting a mityvac. Makes an oil change a breeze. Don't even need to put work clothes on as it is so quick, and mess free. Also handy for e.g. power steering fluid change. Did mine...

    Intro and oil type/interval/filter questions

    FYI, luiquimoly available in Toronto at https://germanparts.ca/?gclid=CjwKCAjw49qKBhAoEiwAHQVTo2iJBS1Op7KpsHxJKudPTSwi9sEzvwACs_GIk7svyl2YjzQRNHjydxoC0UEQAvD_BwE

    Intro and oil type/interval/filter questions

    I have a 2010 with 90k miles on it owned for 3yrs. Initially I used the stupidly priced Castrol edge pro, but do not trust the extended interval. Plus the price must compensate for fewer dealer oil changes right? Now I use luiquimoly which supposedly meets spec. Change twice a year every 6k...

    2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(

    I did not put any anti-seize on the splined shaft after reading the link below: https://www.knowyourparts.com/technical-resources/hubs-bearings/lubricating-light-vehicle-axle-shafts/ Apparently the anti-seize or grease may get pushed off the spline as you install the shaft and end up sitting...

    2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(

    For those thinking of doing their LCA's, here's a summary of my general experiences: - In total took around 16hrs, but this involved a lot of fussing around with driving the cv shafts out. I have probably an average aptitude for DYI mechanics FYI. - Don't forget to lock the suspension in access...

    2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(

    Mechanic was able to fix the threads thankfully. Alignment done and now back on the road. Ride seems a bit firmer. I cheaped out and used Eurospare LCA's. Wonder if bushings are solid rubber or oil filled like OEM........ Clonking all gone thankfully

    2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(

    Just tried air hammer....... it worked!!! Jacking up knuckle a couple of inches is all it took. Thank YOU for your generous help Stuart!!!

    2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(

    Note - steering tie rod still attached to the knuckle. That limits pulling the knuckle outwards.........didn't want to detach the tie rod ball joint as doubtless boot will tear and I don't have a replacement.
