    Transmission “Free Wheeling”

    Incidentally, there is an excellent Inde for all JLR products in Ottawa, named Shore Automotive. 1.5 hours from Montreal.

    Did you perform the transmission fluid level test, at proper temperature?

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    Summer time, I use the pirelli scorpion all terrain plus. In the event of air suspension failure, I can still drive with the 255/55 19s. Many talk about the need to upsize. I go into a lot of crazy places…. Bogs where mud and water are past the axles. Climbing wet granite. Very loose...

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    The Toyos are great tires. But there are a few good choices for the on road/off road category. Though I concur, I wouldn't run those tires even in a meadow. Some choose the LT path. I find the ride far too hard.

    Surprising oil usage

    All I know is that The LR inde replaced my pcv valve and now the oil consumption is much less, lol. I was 1 qt every 5000 kms. Now I’m down to .25 qts.

    Surprising oil usage

    Well, The morning reading is higher. I was parked on a reversed incline at the country property. The reading was down .5 qt. I rolled the vehicle forward to a level spot, (using the neutral release lever) and it gradually moved up to full. Then reset the lever, shut the ignition off, lock...

    Surprising oil usage

    Exactly… but my experience is there is a difference between the 10 min wait reading and the morning reading. And this may be the 1 millionth time I’ve said it: “Thanks for the electronic oil level reader in lieu of a dipstick… you dipstick.”

    Surprising oil usage

    The automatic suspension adjustment after shutdown is described in the workshop manual. I have found that 10 minutes is not enough time for the accurate reading. The only reading I trust is when cold, in the morning.

    Yes, replace the air filters… with a paper filter!

    ARB Fridge

    Maybe not fancy, but securely locked in place would be essential. Head into any cabinetry shop and source the most robust slides, with a locking mechanism or consider a fiddle solution. Every door, drawer, device in my sailboat is secured in such a simple way. If not “secured” you run the risk...

    Surprising oil usage

    As previously mentioned, that is excessive oil use. Given the dirty engine compartment, how's the PCV valve??

    Disabling door sensors?

    @powershift , I understand the need but from so many perspectives I can’t stand behind this particular solution… the case of safety alone. I could see a solution where a simple toggle switch is used during those times when parked and the features are not required. Such a “very visible” toggle...

    Disabling door sensors?

    @mm3846 , I didn’t know that…. and in tracing the electrical circuit, that is obviously not clear as it is a module programming solution. Thanks for the tip! Of course I need to test this… just the kind of guy I am. Cheers!

    Open to Suggestions

    “boot torn” was most probably an installation oversight on a new bushing…. Glad it was on warranty for you. Whenever I get any work done at my local JLR shop, it comes with a year’s parts and labour warranty…

    Door seam (inner driver) rust? 2016 LR4.

    I have precisely the same issue. Must have been welded on a Friday afternoon. I didn’t think robots would care. Anyways, cleaned. 2 coats of rust converter. I’ll let it cure another day before the top coats. Then the corrosion protection.

    Door seam (inner driver) rust? 2016 LR4.

    I’m in the same position. mind you, just surface rust on the inside the seam. I’m going to try a rust converter, then a sealant, then an inhibitor.

    Fixing wind noise from pillar covers?

    Well, that situation you have is just not right. Yes, my windscreen was replaced before I purchased mine… What’s worse, they would actually flap at highway speed. When I chose to replace them I learned the the original pillar covers were missing clips, the rubber fitting on a few clips, and...

    I hate rust belt.....rear upper arms were a PITA

    To each their own…. I like the 4 seasons. Btw, my arms don’t look like that but I do get an annual rust inhibitor spray.

    Tips for cleaning radiator?

    I use the pressure washer in the engine bay, on all my vehicles, quite frequently. Be mindful that those pressures can be quite large so don’t place the nozzle too close.

    OEM Waterpump vs British Atlanta/ProFlow

    I think you missed the point. I am not asking for continuous engineering improvement. I am describing that an oem replacement part needs to meet qa standards.
