What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Mounted up a 100ah lithium power pack from “ lithium battery systems” they are in Queensland, excellent products and excellent service. It has a built in DCDC charger and solar controller (I can now get rid of the huge kickass one I was using with my AGM) 3 Anderson plugs, 2 cigs, and 2 USB. And before I get bombarded with “should’ve got a traxide” I wanted the simplicity, portability, and weight of this particular set up. Mounted a 1000w inverter under the seat. Fitted a front and rear dash cam, which is set as A permanent review mirror. AddedFront lower control arm skids to my protection.

Looks like a Rijidij - (spelling?). He only does superlative stuff.

Had both my LCA changed out on the D4 by a rough indie today.
Now the car leans to the lhs badly, like 20 deg. Worst still, indie did front wheel align while it was sitting like this!!!!!!
From what ive read, i need an IID tool to re-calibrate, and did the mechanic feed me rubbish, stating it will re-calibrate itself if driven 20km /h for a set time?
Ive tried ringing PCB LR in adelaide, but they are not answering phones, due to being booked out till end of feb!
Can anyone save our holiday??

Seems that they tightened the LCA bolts before sitting it back down on level ground, no amount of driving will fix that.

I fear loanrangie is right. The only other possible explanation is that you had an EAS failure at the same time. Don't drive it as you'll chew out the lower bush. It may already be damaged. I can't believe a mechanic has done this. I'm no mechanic and I've done the LCAs on two D4s and watched while the alignment was done after I set the cars into TTL mode. It's not rocket science.
If you were in Melbourne I'd come over and reset it all for you, though you'd still need an alignment done. Suggest you find a local Landrover Indy and ask them to rectify it. Yes, you'll be paying twice for the labour and alignment but I can see no other choice.

Just jumped into the car to go to my mates place, started the D4 tdv6 no issues. Pulled out of the drive way onto the main road and got a error on the display:

Charging system fault....

Dead alternator car is showing 12.3v and when running 12.8 :(

Hey mate, do you have goe suspension rods by any chance. They may have just put the height sensor back in the wrong hole. Both arms would have been done with the car raised so the bush clamp shouldn't cause that. Don't forget we can raise these cars about 100mm without issue. If that was the issue. Put the car in offroad height and see if the low corner raises easily.

The wheel alignment would have been done and adjusted on the 4 post with the car sitting level so the bushes should be happy.

Make sure you pull the battery terminal or your battery will be cooked soon.
