2015 Land Rover LR4 - Replace Battery, Reinitialize Battery Monitoring System & Other Battery Stuff

The "Other Battery Stuff" is probably more useful, and certainly more interesting, than the actual bit about actually changing the battery.

Thanks for another helpful video. Lots of good information. On a side note, it would be nice if you would turn your phone on its side so the video would be in landscape view. That would eliminate the black bars on the side of the screen and give us a wider view. Looking forward to future episodes!

Thanks!
I actually hold the phone that way because it gives me black bars to post comments, and that way I can make sure that the video's are right side up - I have very old video processing software.
But I might take you up on that suggestion - at least in part...

Was just qouted $900 for the replacement at the dealership. Thanks for the video. I bought the tool and will do it myself tomorrow.

Hi what diagnostic software are you using?

[@txfromwi1947]

Thanks for watching!
See the video in the tools section.
I use the IIDTool from Gap Diagnostics.

Thanks for the video. What tool did you use to reset the battery? I have a 2016 LR4 and I replaced the Stop/Start battery on it. It fixed the warning light but stop/start hardly ever works now. I suspect I need to reset the stop/start battery. I’ll need to buy a tool to do that - any advice on which tool I should buy?

[@txfromwi1947]

Thanks!
It's in the video.
Most all Rover enthusiasts use the IIDTool from GAP Diagnostics.
It's expensive, pushing about $600 right now, but it will pay for itself many times over if you get into your Rover repairs yourself. You can also purchase additional licenses so you can have several vehicles registered to one tool (I have 3 right now), additional licenses are about $80 each right now.

[@user-qy9rv9go9j]

Sorry if you answer this in another video. What shop/repair manual are you using? TIA

[@txfromwi1947]

The 2014-2016 are the same vehicle. I was gifted my manuals off the internet because they were not available on-line.
But now I see they are offered by Craigs Manuals and probably others for less than $15.

Watched all of your videos I wish you would make full screenWatched all of your videos I wish you would make full screen And show Newton meters and torque's numbers on the screen And tell the food pounds

[@txfromwi1947]

Thanks for the suggestions!
Torques are also up front in the torques section.

i c why no comments 27min video to change a battery hmmmm

[@txfromwi1947]

I make the videos for myself - so that even I can do the job again next time without having to re-learn anything, and I include lots of details based on questions from the forums - there are always new Rover owners out there.
