New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Right, I know the recall doesn't involve the tank itself. I just saw others mention replacing the tank while at it. I was wondering if this was based on any known history of failure or decay. -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
How much is a new tank? Is there concern about the tank itself? I have surface rust on what I imagine is some kind of shield. -

Another Crossover / cooling system job
Good to know. Thanks. I'll wait on those, I think. -
Another Crossover / cooling system job
Should I replace both PCV's while I'm at it? -
Another Crossover / cooling system job
I'll share my findings and I am happy to send it for the greater good. ;) -
Another Crossover / cooling system job
I've been preparing myself for this work for some time. Our LR4 is at 8 years and 48k miles (August 2013 build). It's a bit early, but what the heck. We'll probably put under 5k miles per year going forward, so might as well. I do have a VERY small coolant leak that I assume is from the pump... -
Continental terraincontact AT tire wear
That’s too bad. We only put <5k miles/year so they will last us a while regardless. -
Transmission issue? Funny sound.
You will find most here are US-based owners with the 6-speed ZF for the 5.0L V8 or the 8-speed ZF for the SCV6 (both gasoline/petrol). Do you know if you have either of those transmissions? -
Cant track down Lug/wheel studs
Great to hear. Best of luck. Also, I did not mean to imply repair, but rather replacement of the stud. And yes, a mechanical press is the most logical approach, so that makes sense. -
Cant track down Lug/wheel studs
I've never looked into this but I am curious, how are the studs attached to the hub? As an engineer, I would have never designed these to be serviceable to the extent that I'd want a very strong and permanent attachment to the hub by using an interference fit (press, thermal), epoxy, etc. Not to... -
LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
Well, Since I'm coming up on 8 years pretty soon (built July 2013 with September 2013 US delivery), I better take good care of my LR4. -
Dark color website?
Not just you. It's different and at first glance I don't care much for it, but it may just be because it had not changed in so many years. -
Tailgate weight rating
I'm confused by the bracket bending. The load is taken by the two cables. Has something loosened up or the anchors been bent out of shape? Have the cables stretched? The loading conditions are such that that bracket should be seeing minimal shear or bending loads. -
Tailgate weight rating
I recall the rating being such that two adults could stand on it. As an engineer, I'd have to design it to a minimum of 200kg (440lbs) to be able to make that claim worldwide. When I designed a machine cover to be able to take an adult (as in 1 factory worker), I used 300lbs as a target. I'd... -
AC Not Blowing Cold...Sometimes
I'm sure this is not the case for you and it's present in all cars to some extent, but I notice that the LR4 is more sensitive than most to not being in motion. It can maintain a cool cabin just fine when stopped. But cooling a hot cabin while stationary is a lengthy process. The air comes out... -
LR4s out there holding their value maybe more than just quite well
LOL Love that movie. -

Oil Level Indicator
Most cars have ~1qrt from min to max. This is why I always underfill by 1/2 quart when I do an oil change. I usually end up pretty close to max. -
Suspension tuning
I'm still on the factory alignment 8 years & 46k miles in. In ~25 years, ~15 cars, and ~400k miles, I've only had two alignments done. -
headlight question
Interesting. I did not know I could do that with GAP. What exactly turns on with DRL? I'm assuming not the HID's, but rather some low-power version of the halogen high beams? I currently I manually turn on the parking lights when I drive so the LED strips are on. -
Please Help
Could it be some sort of demented valet mode? That's weird, man. My first guess was the temp-related, low-bat issue. Same as fire detector beeps coming on at night at low temp. -
Brake Pad Wear Light
These vehicles are known to eat through brakes, and particularly pads, and then rears faster than fronts. I've been lucky/gentle and I did: Rear pads at 23k miles Front pads at 32k miles Rear discs and pads at 42k miles. Discs were still ok, but two sets of pads is enough. Rear pads had a bit... -
2011 V8 Exhaust
I'd like for the exhaust to sound better, but I need to keep it down since this is the family car and quiet highway cruising cannot be upset at all. I have other cars for fun sounds.
