    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Truly, I don’t over think it. If there are no codes; Change the fluid and filter. Period. If there are codes being thrown, apply the fix. The fix “may” be the zip kit. Or just the manufacturers repair kit. FWIW, mine are all original, minus the fluid and filters, of course. One of my 6hp...

    2010 5.0 V8 wildly different MAF values?

    True, but see ‘how’ the ecm interprets and reacts to such inconsistencies.

    2010 5.0 V8 wildly different MAF values?

    Well, some may disagree but I would want matching MAFS. Are you throwing codes? Though its for a different engine, its the same principle… Note the section on “not plausible”.

    2015 LR4 front end sagging overnight

    My vehicle does not drop in a 3 week period. Despite what some here have implied, it should not drop. It does self level of course.

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Correct, change the fluid and then go for a drive. Look at my signature block… this is how it has been done for all my vehicles. I only use oem fluids and filters.

    Johnson loft and spacers

    I see many messing with the geometry "for looks" which can really negatively impact "performance and safety". So, I always consider this: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ And in particular, the effects of messing with the scrub angle. Of course, if the vehicle is a garage queen, mall crawler...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Hmmm... maybe. All the documentation from ZF is clear... DO NOT reset the adaptations until the DTCs are read and dealt with. And the number one cause of transmission failure is poor quality/ or non compliant fluid. And only perform the adaptation reset once DTC's are not thrown AND after a...

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    Well, that would be contrary to how the TCM works on a jag. (Edit: Just consulted the workshop manual. A software reset IS necessary) A system reset will not affect the TCM. Those adaptations can only be reset with software. But delayed shifting is one of those indications that something is...

    P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2) - My car is running great

    Firstly, 80,000 miles or 8 years. Did you buy it in September?? Run it into the dealer and find out. My dealer looks after me. Secondly, cats should last longer unless something is amiss. Find out the root cause OR be prepared to replace, the replacement. Cheers

    Transmission taking too long to shift

    That’s funny…. I interpret gear changes at 1500 - 2000 rpm as missing the power band and too early. https://www.automobile-catalog.com/curve/2016/2045480/land_rover_lr4_scv6.html#gsc.tab=0 https://ranwhenparked.net/what-rpm-should-you-shift/ But out of interest, I do change my diff...

    Head Unit stopped working

    I would start with the easy path first (as described in the workshop manual) 1 verify the battery reads 12.6 v (when engine not running of course. 2 perform a reset. Disconnect battery wait 60 mins (or touch neg, pos leads together to dissipate capacitance) 3 reconnect the leads to the battery...

    lowering suspension when not in use for weeks on end

    Nope. My vehicle does not lower in a 4 week period.

    lowering suspension when not in use for weeks on end

    If I’ve been out playing, I raise the suspension so that I can easily pressure wash underneath and, leave it elevated so that (in my mind) aids in drying. It may be parked for a week or longer like that.

    Touching Base

    Equally, very sorry to hear. Best wishes for a positive outcome! @txfromwi , precisely right. Charge the battery before bed. Let it rest overnight. Take a reading in the morning. If the reading is 12.4v or less... time to look for a replacement. Do see...

    LR4 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)

    Interesting... topix does not expose the vehicle bulletins, but if I search based on the ID, nhtsa.gov does. It seems the management at topix enjoys being unhelpful... and glad nhtsa wants to be.

    Keen location for FOB

    Yes, but it rattles about in both those places… and they are not fit for purpose. Clearly an oversight. A checklist may have assisted the interior designers.

    Third head gasket job- why are they failing?

    FWIW, at 170,000 kms I’m on the original head gasket. OE is the way to go. There is sometimes a difference between OE and OEM… Cheers!

    Keen location for FOB

    Why is it my ‘13 LR2 has this clever location for a FOB and my ‘15 LR4, doesn’t. Life’s little annoyances… Cheers All!

    Bouncy Ride Normal? +engine cover part no. request

    Though the ride is soft, he sticks like glue to the road, or trail. I run Pirelli Scorpion AT3. Have no interest is swapping out to coil overs.
