What happened to your D3/D4 today?

It got a ride on a flatbed on Monday

. Only got it back Friday from having the inlet manifolds replaced. My wife took it to town and when she stopped it was throwing diesel all over the road. Seems it was a rubber gasket in the return line that got pinched. All home again now and happily sitting in the driveway

I spent days trying to find a noise in the cabin. It was a repeated but not periodic squeak/tick sound and it was increasingly driving me nuts. I'd been hearing it for weeks but just couldn't locate it while driving. Yesterday when I switched from Carplay to Nav I realised I still had a destination programmed and it was the Nav DVD drive constantly seeking as I drove around. It'd been trying to take me to Bunbury for 4 weeks.

Silence is golden.

Non genuine Handle covers have arrived, slight discolour differences. Either leave it and let the sun react, or give it a tint
of clear..

As usual, got 3 for spares, so have 3 goes at mistakes.

The cheapies feel better than the originals.

Another one of those Land Rover widgets that make life easier whilst making the vehicle less reliable.

Probably a few reasons,such as most of the rubbish ends up on left side of the road,and its flicked up by the front tyre.
Left side of the road is also usually the worst part of the road.

FWIW,i ran BFG on my D4 for 10yrs,travelled all over the countryside,and had one slow leak in that time,a large Teck screw,left rear,tyre was worn out anyway,so it didnt get repaired the whole set were replaced.i actually never used the POS jack.

I have also heard the theory that batteries mounted on the LHS of vehicles in RHD countries don't last as long for similar reasons.

Part one of my service done. Oil, filter, air filter and pollen filter. Next weekend it’s the dirty stuff such as rear brake discs and pads, new rear upper arms and brake fluid change. After that it’s the complete coolant flush - a real pain in the backside job especially with rear ac. Looking forward to installing the new coolant bottle.

Well the old girl got a new HPFP (High Pressure Fuel Pump) today. She is the 2.7 Diesel with 230k on the clock and is serving me well.
What started as what felt like a "miss" at some traffic lights when idling, slowly became what I thought was the Torque Converter shuddering on Lock up.
So when she finally threw an Xmas tree up on the dash and went into "I've had enough" mode on the highway (Engine performance, transmission fault, Handbrake fault etc) I decided to take it to the Indy for a look. So the "shuddering on light throttle for a distance of maybe 5 km (on a tranny that has only done 30000km) was actually something HPFP related as the code on the ECM was P2290-00 Injector Control Pressure Too Low.
So as I am going on an extended trip soon "out-back" I decided this was a safe bet.
Lets see how it goes, but I am quietly confident in the diagnosis and the fix.
A huge thank you goes out to the team at British Off Road on the Sunshine Coast for fitting me into a hectic schedule (it seems booked-out well into April) knowing that we have to leave tomorrow on our epic road trip to meet our bookings. Above and Beyond service and professionalism and it didn't go un-noticed!
FWIW - the HPFP replacement includes, naturally, a new genuine injection pump LR017367, a new timing belt kit LR019115 (as the belt has to be cut off because pulling the tensioner bolt will cause damage with the belt still under tension) and a new genuine fuel filter LR009705 (for my model)
