200,000 mile service advice
also using a code reader I can view live data and my cat temps hover around 1700 degrees( if I park on grass even in off-road height it will kill and burn the grass in a matter of 10-15 minutes) never remember it doing that before. Anyone ever looked at the temps on their LR4 idling -
200,000 mile service advice
Recently had an injector stick open( which was a nightmare to say the least♂️ Fuel filled the #8 cylinder and hydro locked the engine) so all8 injectors got replaced. All sparks plugs and coils I’ve done all the fluids( diffs transfer case and coolant) only thing on the coolant system I... -
200,000 mile service advice
I’ve read through the threads of how many miles people have and the common issues associated with high mileage but does anyone have a good “list of service items” to check over and do? Currently have 195k on my 2011 LR4. I’ve recently done quite a bit of stuff to it but was curious what other... -
2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle
So I read through this thread and agree I’ve got an injector issue but just want to see if y’all agree. Few days ago tried to pass someone in traffic, car downshifted and felt rough upon acceleration. Immediately the “reduced performance” and check engine light came on. Limped home with a cloud... -
Crossover Pipe - Replace Pre-Emptively?
its number 8. I can't seem to find it anywhere online -
Crossover Pipe - Replace Pre-Emptively?
yeah after watching some youtube videos I have realized that they are clean compared to most out there. bought the sea foam spray ill try when the car is back together. Im trying to find a part number for the pulley on the back side of the fan assembly( smooth pulley for the serpentine belt)... -
Crossover Pipe - Replace Pre-Emptively?
Is this normal!?! I’ve got my 2011 LR 4 apart replacing the water pump, oil cooler tube, crossover pipe, thermostat etc... anything related to cooling. When I pulled the intake I noticed the carbon build up. is this normal? Is there anything I can do to clean them or just let it be? 180,000 on... -
Compressor Identification
If you take the cover off the compressor the two look very different.( mounting set up) Odds are you have a hitachi compressor but there is a label on the compressor that will say the brand name. Unless it’s been replaced before you will have a hitachi -
Suspension Position Long Time Parking
It will kill the key fob battery within 4or 5 days( brand new battery lasted 4 days when I was leaving it in the truck all day and overnight) and I was told by a tech that it actually communicates with the car while it’s inside so it also puts a drain on the car battery( because it keeps some of... -
Suspension Position Long Time Parking
Hmm well shoot, good to know. Guess I’ve been doing it wrong. I think somewhere in the owners manual it also talks about long term parking. Something about adding air to the tires to prevent flat spots. I’ll see if I can find it. -
Suspension Position Long Time Parking
I use to park my Range Rover and my current 2011 LR 4 for 6-7 months at a time in a hangar while I traveled for work. I Always had it in access mode. I don’t think it really matters( I just didn’t want to come home to the front on the bump stops and the ass up in the air) throw a good battery... -
2010 LR4 brake bleed question
I do it with it running, have done it in the past with it off don’t really think it makes a difference( unless you’ve got your girlfriend pumping the pedal....then do it with it running so it’s easier to push) -
Front diff making metal
Yup...exactly what I had to do. Very nerve racking taking a grinder to a 2500 screw up but I had no other way to do it. Getting the diff out is pretty straightforward. - remove the frame cross member -remove rim hub center cap and break axel nut lose -remove tire -remove upper control ark and... -
Front diff making metal
Yeah finished and all back together. Put about 1000 miles on so far and seems fixed. No more grind whine or vibration. Occasionally I feel like I hear it making noise.. but odd are I’m just over analyzing the noises. To get the drive shaft out I gave it a few good whacks with a heavy rubber... -
Front diff making metal
Yes it’s a ***** to undo but I unscrewed the mounts from the frame and just pushed it up out of the way. Didn’t want to unplug anything. I actually had to cut that front diff mounting bolt to get it out because the nut side was just spinning and I couldn’t get anything to hold it but putting a... -
Front diff making metal
Day 2 of this rebuild and I’m about to throw in the towel. Removing the diff was straight forward but a huge pain! Split the case and immediately saw the bearing that was bad but they are almost impossible to get off, I’ve got one side left to do but there is just nowhere to get a punch or... -
V8 Engine Whining Noise (Video)
Was originally thinking this noise was the alternator( sounds like alternator bearings to me) but it’s coming from the back of the engine. I read somewhere about an internal HP fuel pump or crank shaft position sensor but am clueless. Can Anyone ID this sound -
Front diff making metal
My kit arrives today so install is tomorrow, I’ll try and take photos and do a write up on it( usually get busy with actually doing the work that I forget to take photos lol) -
LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy
Why would you want to disable the system? Just curious what benifits you expect from not having it -
LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy
Didn’t even know there was such a thing as smart charging. Read several write ups on it and am still a little fuzzy on what the actual purpose of it is. From what I read it’s to save fuel economy by only running the alternator when it “needs” to? Got out a volt meter just to play around with it... -
More proof the LR4 is a very safe vehicle
I had a 2006 Range Rover supercharged( full size ) and let me tell you, that thing was a Tank! not once did I ever feel like if I crashed I wouldn't walk away from it. replaced with my LR 4 and although it doesn't seem as solid as the Range Rover, its still peace of mind knowing that 9 times out... -
Off-road front facing camera
agreed, I've got the surround cameras and think ive only used the right camera under the mirror maybe 3 times( making sure I was clear of a rock) and the front facing camera once(pulling all the way up against the car in front of me in my driveway) -
What is hanging?
surprisingly no lol and I didn't even buy the car from them. my dealership has been very helpful for all of my DIY services, I bought 3 quarts of transfer case oil from them and they gave me a whole packet on ALL fluid changes, torque specs, and amounts. reprogrammed 2 amazon aftermarket key... -
What is hanging?
when I first bought my LR4 I called the dealership and asked. they had one of the techs put an LR4 up on a lift and invited me to point out what I was talking about. they said the same thing, reduce noise and road vibration. not quite sure how it actually works but who am I to argue
