    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.

    +1 for the alternator being bad.

    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...

    Greasy transmission, should I be worried?

    How many miles did you get out of the tranny?

    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...

    Greasy transmission, should I be worried?

    I'd get a second opinion to be sure unless you know those guys well enough not to stick it to you when the issue was really a valve cover gasket as mentioned. During my research prior to purchasing I don't think I even read about a rear main seal go bad but I'm sure they are out there. Nothing...

    5.0 metal rear coolant manifold

    Interesting. I wonder what kind of gasket or sealing they used for the two halves. I think Philips screws are the wrong fastener if someone ever wanted to take it apart after 100k miles and change the gasket because the gasket won't last forever like a one-piece design.

    Lr4 Brakes

    I'm getting ready to go overlanding again but far, far away from my indy mechanic and the rear brakes have always squeaked after putting the Ferodos on. I had new rear rotors to install and I hoped that would solve the squeal noise when stopping in reverse, but it turns out I don't want to spend...

    Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)

    That is definitely shady business practice. They need to tell you that the brake pad sensors are hanging loose disconnected. Look how its hanging down. If you were to loop that around a twig it could tear out the wire and cause a MIL out in BFE.

    Alternative sound system

    I was thinking about getting the camo version of the carpet coverings for when I go overlanding but I wasn't sure about the fitment and it might be a risk at $350 or whatever it costs. I was looking at some canvas type coverings. What do you think of the quality? What brand did you get?

    2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE

    The head gasket replacement is a red flag.

    2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE

    I'd get a second opinion because I had my transmission pan done and it was a little over a grand. A Valve cover gasket is less than a grand. $5k-$7k is suspect unless things are left out like replacing coolant pipes and such.
