    Underbody splash shields...

    I’d look at a car breakers if one is near you. But I’d definitely look at replacing. The original lr ones are pretty heavy gauge steel for what it’s worth so don’t discount them if you can get them cheap.

    Exhaust solutions?

    Has anyone thought about using the exhaust setup from an F type and cutting welding to suit? They’re virtually the same engines after all.

    Backup camera lens is scratched/pitted = blurred vision

    Ouch. At that price I’d have a go with this. Not a fan of eBay by any means but it comes to the rescue every now and then. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133447361112

    FYI: SCV6 cylinder numbering

    DIN standard measures from the free end per bank ISO standard measures from the driven end alternatively Still it’s very odd why they would change things.

    Yes. We can say crud!!!

    Backup camera lens is scratched/pitted = blurred vision

    Toothpaste works if it’s slight or go for a polishing compound for glass. Bottom line though if it’s that bad then it’s probably a replacement. Are you sure it’s scratched and not just a build up of crud?

    Lower control arm replacements

    To check play jack up the front or rear until your wheel is off the ground. Axle stands are best. Then with a pry bar push against each bush and the frame around it in an up and down movement. There should be virtually no movement with a good bush.

    Lower control arm replacements

    I did the uppers when I replaced the lowers on the front. You need to remove some of the heat shielding and torquing up is difficult with the access. But it adds about an hour per side assuming you don’t have rusty hardware.

    I haven’t yet.

    2012 LR4 - Amber brake warning and special systems unavailable,

    If you have the locking rear diff try putting this through a test on your IID tool. The symptoms are the same. It’s randomly happened twice for me.

    2010 V8 serpentine and accessory belt replacement

    That’s right. Just be careful and protect the radiator matrix when you remove the fan. The viscous coupling is heavier than it looks and it’s easy to damage the radiator fins.

    2010 V8 serpentine and accessory belt replacement

    Give this a go. If you’re still unsure which way to undo the fan. It’s the same direction that the engine rotates. “Effectively” the engine tightens the fan coupling while turning.
