    Can't get into Extended mode

    I called a few shops on my carfax history and found on 11/15/19 at 64k mi they installed a new AMK compressor, relay and an install kit. One shop I called said to raise the suspension and see if the compressor runs more. Would a good test be to raise the suspension in off-road mode, measure the...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    I have my LR4 back from the shop to get the extended mode fixed and they needed to re-calibrate the air suspension. I started asking questions about the air suspension fail points to the mechanic guy and he thought if my air bags haven't been replaced then I need to replace them and the air...

    2016 LR4 Dead... need help!

    No, it might be faster but that is how long I have the charger on. I've never timed it, but I do walk up to it with a volt meter to measure it. I was thinking about mounting a volt meter on the outside of the box.

    Looking for thoughts on leak under engine block

    The source could be many areas but some possibilities would be a brake vacuum pump or a power steering leak. But that looks like engine oil so that would lean more towards the brake vacuum pump. The steering rack is near that area too. I wouldn't let it go unless you don't have the cash and need...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    The jack instructions say to put it in that mode.

    2016 LR4 Dead... need help!

    I love it when I charge my battery, it feels good. Its been a couple months since I've laid a good charge on it. I've got a 60 amp charger for it and let the algorithm do its thing over a 1/2 day or so and then it rests at about 13.6V. I tried the battery tender jr and that thing is a pile and a...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    Do you mean while out of extended mode the factory jack will lift high enough? What I was seeing was the air suspension starts bleeding while I start jacking and seems like it is fighting against what I'm trying to do. I'm pretty sure I've wasted effort jacking that thing only to not get the...

    Can't get into Extended mode

    I bought a 2X6 wood board and plan to cut it into pieces for stackable blocks to put under the factory jack. If there is enough lift then I can defeat the air suspension and raise a tire (hopefully) using the blocks for extra lift. I'll be using that as a fall back, I have an appointment this...

    Tech inspection failed

    I got a call back from the shop after dropping off the LR4 this morning for the ball joint boot and they will be warrantying it.

    I think mold got on my seats

    What is more interesting is the mold doesn't appear to be present when I put my inverter on the seat on 4/20. I had that blanket on the seat and then the inverter hidden in the blanket. There wasn't mold there at that time so I think maybe the electricity played a part in the staining? If you...

    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

    The shop that did the work said they would stand by their warranty so I've got an appointment tomorrow. Its been leaking for a while because grease is all over the bottom part of the knuckle. Its the same shop that tried to shake me down for tie rods that I didn't need so I'm not that hopeful...

    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...
