Mystery Headlamp Bulb
had a 2012 5 series with these, my buddy’s old 958 cayenne with the upgraded LEDs had them and same with the new cayenne with the upgraded matrix LEDs. Wonder if there is a way to retro fit them, would be kinda cool but if there isn’t already a place to put the bulb and wiring for it then it...- Jimmy Brooks

Mystery Headlamp Bulb
All 14 LR4s were face lifted and had the new front end and light style. On another note, why does it seem like all the 10-13 models fitted with the HID Adaptive Xenon lights didn’t have those corner lamps/dtrls (labeled #4 on the diagram)- Jimmy Brooks

My 2012 LR4 is not starting anymore, help please
random things can go bad probably just happened to be the starter for you. I agree though, it is early but probably just bad luck. It could also have been bad connections too. I have 146k on my truck and never have had a starter issue, which is honestly surprising considering that I had that...- Jimmy Brooks

New engine noise
Probably did the maintenance himself to save money, or took it to another shop. You’d have serious sludge buildup and would’ve probably went through a chain or engine if it was actually ran for 40k on the same oil.- Jimmy Brooks

Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...
Definitely agree, I’ll pinpoint the leak before replacing anything. Would anything else cause the Freon smell to come inside the cabin?- Jimmy Brooks

Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...
I never got faults for blender doors, plus the fact that all vents would blow cold ac when it was less hot out and when the blower motor was turned down makes me think it is something with the actual system. My thought is that I could’ve had a possible faulty expansion valve (at least for the...- Jimmy Brooks

Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...
been thinking about my issue a lot recently, would it make sense that a bad compressor would cause multiple zones to blow different temperatures? at least to me, i thought that a bad compressor would make all of them go at the same time? on another note would i get a code for a bad expansion...- Jimmy Brooks

becoming collectible
This is a super impressive spec. Lux, Extended leather, HD package, adaptive cruise control. I think this one has every option except for rear seat entertainment. Plus with the bonus of low mileage and the garage kept. Super impressive. Price makes sense, you don’t see these anymore.- Jimmy Brooks

Can't get into Extended mode
My advice is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. My rear air struts are still original with 146k on the clock. They work great. Front and compressor have been done. My experience is that they tend to leak a little before completely blowing. If you want to test for leaking all you do is put the car...- Jimmy Brooks

My new LR4 Journey
Awesome, excited to see how the project goes, I’ve heard it’s incredibly hard to retrofit the rear locker, however with the correct wisdom and knowledge contributions from everyone on the forum I think it’ll be a hell of a project. I wish you good luck on this new journey- Jimmy Brooks

New engine noise
mine makes that noise sometimes too. it goes away most the time, i always though it was a little bit of chain rattle before thinking rod knock. beside the point, if it was rod knock my oil filter would've been full of metal and its not. I agree it is weird but I've never stressed out over it too...- Jimmy Brooks

My first one was dead at around 110k but didn’t lock up. second one died 10k after the first from seizing. If your ac is still blowing cold strong don’t take it for granted- Jimmy Brooks

Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...
Think I put around 12-15k miles on it and then the compressor locked up and tore the serpentine belt. They claimed it was contaminants in the system and said to replace the condensor which I did. But still the system never functioned like brand new. Ironically if I remember properly, the rear...- Jimmy Brooks

Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...
Yup I have that same issue as well. Never seen a code for the blower motor. Cabin filter has been replaced less than 10k miles ago and the car is garaged. Also losing a bit of coolant but don’t think that’s related. Keep in mind it used to blow cold in all zones if it’s not super hot out and I...- Jimmy Brooks
