    2014 Range Rover Supercharged offload friendly mods?

    Hi 99D, Actually, the L322 has very similar subframes to the L494. And I am reasonably sure that this guy did a similar style lift (if he didn't, he's got absolutely no droop left in the suspension. I run 32" tires with a SW lift and even there I notice the reduced droop in front): LOL I agree...

    Does the rep of "unreliable" still hold true?

    This. We get a LOT of insight into the problems people have with their LR's - not just electronics/diagnostics btw. Here are a couple of take-aways: 1. Mechanically, modern vehicles (not just LRs) are miles superior to their 20+ year old brethren. Comparing an axle replacement on a live-axle...

    Gap IID Tool: First go.

    The benefits generally are there - or LR wouldn't have bothered. The question is: with your particular use of the car will you see the improvement? Possibly not on many systems including the engine. There was a TCM update that improved shifting noticeably but I'm don't think it's applicable to...

    Gap IID Tool: First go.

    Thanks for the kudos, guys. Re price: if you're comparing it to an OBD reader, then yes it seems expensive. The problem is, though, it's not an apple to apple comparison: OBD2 is an open standard designed for emissions. It only pertains to the motor and powertrain (auto trans if fitted to a...

    BFG - White In / White out

    In. No stickers. And don't call your LR a rig. RIG Rig is an Australian slang word that defines a well fit chick/bloke. They contain a hot body and a face that does not need plastic surgery. That minga's friend is a ************* RIG!!! #hot #sexy #rig #attractive #hunk #chick #girl #guy...

    LR3 (Maybe LR4) Exhaust Manifold GASKET Replacement (My Procedure)

    We've been driving around chirping on acceleration the past couple of weeks as I procrastinate doing this job on our RR L322 TDV8... :ugh:

    Gap DII tool and changing Speed Values???

    Hi Guys, When we first implemented this function it did not work properly as ar4me mentioned. We have since found the bug. The function is in the Car Config menu: Menu>Car Config>Instrument Pack>Tyre Radius.

    IID Gap BT tool questions

    Hi Jerry, No problem in answering your questions. They are actually all valid. Diagnostic tools are quite complex and the learning curve is steep at the beginning. I'll reply in the order you asked: - The Llams and its competitor by Mudtech are separate systems that don't have anything to do...

    IID Gap BT tool questions

    Hi ar4me, Emissions readiness monitors is just one of many items on our to-do list. It is not a requirement in our major markets and as such has not received highest priority. It may seem basic and simple from the outside, but for us it involves quite a bit of work to implement, test, and...

    IID Gap BT tool questions

    Oh yes. Sorry forgot. The charges are only for the IIDTool Pro. And the main reason for that is not so much the updates, but the more intensive levels of support as well as the fact that LR ECU updates are included in the costs. And this is time consuming. BT customers are charged a small fee...

    IID Gap BT tool questions

    Hi Jethro, Could you please post a link to the videos you mention? I just scanned through the vids and did not see anything on flashing, inflating individual air springs, etc. I don't know much about the iLand tool, but it looks very similar to a system sold by Britpart in Europe and made in...

    VIDEO LAND ROVERS EXPEDITION TO THE BALKANS

    Hi Eric, Tread lightly (earth) - definitely agreed as I believe most here would. The rest: different cultures allow for (and even condone) different behavior. Don't apply your US mindset to people in other parts of the world universally. What you may see as overkill and cringe-worthy might be...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Great story! A wife with a PhD who works on cars. Wow. My wife has a PhD.... Maybe I'll get a chance to see it live someday. I'm from Rockville. I've been trying to get home long enough to do some east coast events. Love the 4th pic. Just wow. And cute too. :)

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Ok, did some research and found the brake light bulb issues on earlier D3s. I was well aware of the brake light switch problems but not the bulb problems. Patrick does our support and is much more acutely aware of individual model quirks. I was just teasing with the comment about your car not...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    See? Like we've said all along: if you keep the car in good shape, the EAS is reliable. Ya gotta replace those bulbs! Seriously tho, this I'd like to hear more about. How did the bulb affect the EAS? Nice camp pic, btw. I hope we can make it into the Vosges mountains for a weekend before it...

    LR4 Johnson Rods + Alignment = Uneven Tire Wear. How Fix?

    We have customers than run the IIDTool installed all the time (generally with an adapter cable with a flat OBD connector to keep from having the dongle in the footwell where it could possibly be kicked). We did not design the tool for permanent installation (yet :-) ) and have not verified that...

    BFG T/A KO2 in 275/55/20 on LR4

    Hi shedlock, One of the things that we implemented in the IIDTool is a raising/lowering procedure that does not require a full calibration with altered measurements to do an electronic lift. It is as simple as entering the menu, selecting the desired lift (or drop for the bling crowd) and...
