    Gear shifter squeak

    When using command shift to upshift, I hear a squeak every time now. The noise is coming from inside #11 in the illustration below where the shaft is. Does the housing come apart so it can be lubed?

    Dash lit up like a Christmas tree out in BFE

    The other day while cruising on a forest road I was going a little too quick and slowed up over tree roots and the ABS, Brake and Hill Decent Control went inactive. It seemed like a wheel sensor problem, but the air suspension dropped to normal mode. I turn the ignition off then back on, raise...

    Do durable side wall tires exist for the LR4?

    Been off-roading a lot exploring through the mountains looking for places to camp and enjoying time off. Today the OsmAnd app took me on a wild goose chase and it seemed like I was on another ATV trail that was pretty fun, but when I got back to camp I noticed a bulge in the left rear. I've...

    Surprising oil usage

    I searched around the forum and didn't see any threads about oil usage, but did find one for how long to go between oil changes and I'm now sold on 7,500mi. I started overlanding in a new environment and my oil usage went up to 1/2 qt. per 80 miles round trip into town and back plus a few...

    Disabling door sensors?

    The reserve capacity on my Land Rover brand (Interstate) starter battery started to dwindle and after opening the doors 3 times after a long drive the starter was noticeably slow. That was even with a battery tender Jr on it. I need to throw that thing away so I don't keep using it lol. The new...

    Fixing wind noise from pillar covers?

    On the highway I've always had a wind noise coming from the drivers side windshield pillar when there is a cross-wind and today I thought to investigate since I'm taking the LR4 out of state for the first time to overland in the wild Utah mountains! I found this thread...

    Tips for cleaning radiator?

    I drove over some brush and tiny parts of the brush ended up in my radiator (or whatever grill is in front). To clean it I used a soft paint brush, but the grill is not fully cleared. I searched around and the best idea found was using a chemical made for AC condensers in a house. Since the...

    Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?

    The owners manual says that only experience off-roaders should do it. I've been stopping first and then make the change in Neutral. It would be more convenient to switch while rolling. What are the risks of changing the transfer case from 4Hi to 4Lo and back while moving? Is there risk of it...

    Noise coming from left rear area

    While driving off-road today I started to hear a noise. It seems like maybe a wheel bearing, but I've never had one go bad. I recorded a vid of it. The first occurence the terrain is flat, but at the end I drove over a washout section (It doesn't look at all like that in the vid) and the noise...

    Lug nut quality?

    I tracked a noise to what I think is the lug nuts vibrating making a loose washer sound on rough road. Will they get looser and break or are they fine? 16 of 20 are like that.

    Has anyone weighed their rig unloaded?

    Reading through the manual I found the max rear axle load is just over 2 tons. It seems like the LR4 is a strong SUV truck. I see footnote 3, but I'm curious how much weight is on the rear axle unloaded in order to subtract that from the max rear axle load to get max payload back there. Does...

    Testing air suspension for leaks?

    Monday I woke out of my LR4 and my head hit the hatch glass when it was all the way open. I suspected the rear end dropped on both sides since I cleared the hatch the night before so that sent me on an investigation to find out if I have an air suspension leak. One thing different vs when I...

    Dieseling engine noise

    I've been driving with my windows down and and noticed there is a little dieseling going on sometimes when I accelerate on an incline at low speeds. I first heard it while offroading. It sounds like the valves are clacking against the pistons but I'm pretty sure its a timing issue. I was running...

    New engine noise

    I've noticed an engine noise that wasn't there before and I'm curious about it. Before (first 30 sec is enough): Now: Any ideas on what the noise is from?

    I think mold got on my seats

    I had been sleeping in the back of my LR4 over the winter and it looks like mold grew on my leather seats. I was surprised, but I guess it makes sense even though none of the other seats have the problem. The seats were tucked down so the cargo space was flat. Any ideas on how to remove mold? I...

    Tech inspection failed

    I did a tech inspection the other day on my LR4 and one of my new control arms has a tear in the ball joint boot. The other side boot is fine. I wonder if there was flex in the joint that caused a tear that or if it was left like that during install? It seems like there should be a ring or...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    Yesterday I put the suspension into extended mode to jack up the vehicle and do the rear brakes. All was fine and then today I tried to put it in extended mode and the button press doesn't register or it isn't accepted. There are no indicator lights on, the suspension goes into off-road mode but...

    Engine goes into reduced power mode

    Driving on the freeway the other day the engine fell on its face for the first time ever and the yellow check engine light started flashing. I pull off and it seems like its running on 4 cylinders so I'm cruising to find a good spot to park and the yellow light shuts off. Then I park, pull the...

    Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off

    I woke to beautiful snow and then a flat tire this morning and thought no problemo, I've got the plug kit, tire compressor and a spare. What happened was the screw hole was too small for the plug kit and it would have been better to either simply air up the tire keeping the screw in there an an...

    front drivetrain noise

    I think the frequent offroad usage is exposing some problems in my rig. I drove in 4low the other day for 1/8 mile in the desert going through gears 1-3. It was a lot of fun hitting second with regular throttle because the shifts are firm. But now I'm hearing some new noises a few days later...

    Battery rundown protection?

    Is there a voltage where the LR4 brain will stop turning on the door lights and booting up the dash to conserve power to start the engine? I don't have a battery issue, but I'm camping around it and opening the door seems like it costs a lot of battery drain. I bought a Battery Tender Jr...

    Anyone know what this plastic thing is?

    I finally got my license plates today and I received the LR4 in July lol. I had been driving around with expired paper plates and cops didn't seem to notice or care. When I first got my LR4 first thing I did was pull the front plate and set it on a shelf. Now I'm re-visting the plate holder so...

    Vacuum pump leak

    I took my LR4 in to get some things fixed that were missed while in service last time and I asked them about the oil smell when flogging it. They wouldn't do a test drive over 3k RPM so I told them to forget about it. They did the service work and said the vacuum pump was leaking onto the...

    Bleeding brakes and brake reservoir

    I had a bunch of work done to my LR4 and one ask was to flush the brake fluid. It seems like they did flush the brakes, but in the pic below doesn't it look suspect where the front compartment looks like it has fresh fluid, the middle is fair enough and then the back looks pretty dirty? I called...

    Opening the rear hatch

    I'm looking to open the rear hatch from inside. I saw a YT video where a lady had an LR3 and while sitting inside she hit the fob button and the glass hatch opened. She said you could program that button at the bottom of the fob to do various things like turn on the lights and such. I didn't see...
