Heads up regarding using a non LR purge valve -- make sure it is "genuine" Hyundai
There are a lot of posts out there about using an "equivalent" hyundai spec'ed purge valve in place of the 10x (or more) costly LR genuine part.
Here's my experience once my LR D2 threw a P0441 code (purge valve).
In my haste to get it fixed, I looked up the Hyundai part, found that my local autozone had a one with the same product number in stock for $40 and ran down to the store and bought it (a Dorman as I recall)
After swapping it out, the code came right back and you could hear the valve clicking on and off several times a second occasionally (sort of sounded like a cricket).
So I ordered a "genuine" hyundai part from Amazon (it has the Hyndai logo embossed on it) for $24, swapped out the generic equivalent and no problems so far.
Anyhow just wanted to share that experience and hopefully save someone from having to do the swap out twice.

Wish I had read this three weeks ago. I had P0441 and per the forum went with the Hyundai option, only I cheaped out and got the d@mned Dorman part too.
Code went away for two days and then back again intermittently over the past three weeks. Was driving me crazy thinking it was a leak with the hoses somewhere.
Thanks for the tip, I just threw the genuine one in my Amazon basket.

P0441 "can" also be the gas cap. If you don't replace the entire purge control valve assembly (OEM includes the lines) you could also have a cracked line. It's hard to spot on the lower half, but it's something to check.

Any ideas on where to source the two lines without the purge valve? I've seen the complete LR assembly online but the price!

Thanks, I'll look at the lower line. I knew about the gas cap and that was one of my first upgrades when I bought it (old one was a cheap aftermarket anyway).

I've found the Stant gas cap at Wal-Mart for 6.00 is identical to our OEM LR gas caps (also made by Stant). If you're careful you can pop it apart, use the new lower half (important part), and re-use the OEM top and retain the little lanyard that lets it hang.
