Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Best bet is a complete new rack from JLR or the uk suppliers. I would not waste the effort on a rebuild, nor a rebuilt unit

Edit, i should qualify that, by saying if you are intending to hold onto the car a while longer, then oem or genuine new would be the go. If not, then refurb or good second hand, but then "Caveat Emptor" philosophy would apply.

Hi all,
my 2016 D4 started idling high all of a sudden this evening. It usually idles about 850 - 900 rpm which i would consider normal. Tonight it kicked up to about 1150rpm and sat there. Blipping throttle didn’t resolve the issue so I am thinking its not linkages. So my dark, glass half empty, mechanical engineer brain starts to think air leaks on the induction side?? Any thoughts?

Possibly AC related, but someone with more Intel than myself will elaborate...

I always thought it was my car’s way of telling me it was happy to see me?
