    Cylinder 5 Misfire

    At 20-30 seconds in on the first vid, it looks like pitting on the cylinder walls along with coolant. There is some suspect surface area there. I would re-visit that pitted area to get better video keeping it still on that one area so you can inspect the cylinder wall. If its pitted then the...

    Cylinder 5 Misfire

    It could have been overheated and that would break the head gasket. With that low compression I'd want to get to the bottom of it and pulling the head to check for evidence and checking the valve seats is probably the next step or replace the entire engine and be done but I'd at least root cause...

    Cylinder 5 Misfire

    That is a problem. It could be leaking through the valve(s). If not I'd pull the head and check the head gasket, cylinder bores, etc.

    2011 LR4 - preemptive coolant repairs

    47k mi for a crossover isn't that long, a bit longer than a brake job probably. Good to know because I'm a desert guy. It hit 102F already this year. I topped off the coolant today since the level was in the middle of the low/high span. I calculated 5,129 miles since the level was at the high...

    iPad Mount/Support in LR4 for use while driving/off roading

    I'm looking to mount a tablet, but RAM doesn't offer any products for Land Rover and I'm not seeing a Joy Factory mount that looks like it would mount to the seat. Any tips on what make/model tablet mounts are available for the LR4?

    Driver side window leaking > Window channel replacement method?

    Seems like an odd problem to start happening. Did someone tweak the window?

    2011 LR4 - preemptive coolant repairs

    I'd be replacing the whole cooling system. Not sure why you are against that unless things like the hoses are still good. It doesn't make sense to replace good parts but it does make sense to go through the whole system part-by-part. I had someone else do most of it for my LR4, but I did the...

    Battery rundown protection?

    I made some upgrades to the charging setup for more convenience. Now the connector stays with the battery and the hood closes one step. Just the charger moves back and forth from a DIY Lifepo4 pack to the AGM.

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I see the D5 on the Land Rover site and it has nice body lines and style on the sides mid-section back, but the front seems too flat. Its hard to get the whole body perfect. The LR4 front looks better to me.

    Lr4 Brakes

    I'm declaring victory over the brake noise. They are nice and quiet on or off road, forward or reverse.

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I wanted the D5 diesel but was turned off by the catastrophic crank failures and the shape of the rear end.

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    That is a sweet engine. There is a guy on TY that put the ZZ632 in a pickup. Crazy power naturally aspirated. I'd like to see the jugs on it.

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I'd definitely want the Chevy engine. That is what is attractive about the Tahoe's. The aftermarket is a lot better for them too. There are many running around here that are modified. They sound good and look good but they just don't have all the features. I'd like to race one some day. I look...

    Is it a leaking passenger side valve cover gasket?

    I normally wipe it with my finger and inspect it for color, texture and smell. I can't see from here but its plausible the leak is at the end of the cross over and moves forward. First rule of plumbing is **** runs uphill.

    Is it a leaking passenger side valve cover gasket?

    I'm not sure where the oil is coming from but I wouldn't let that go. It should be cleaned and fixed. I'd try to clean the area under the front cross over pipe where it goes into the block too.

    Lr4 Brakes

    The noise isn't persistent on mine. I'm not worried about it after running errands again in 100F heat today. I had all the windows down saving the A/C. 102F inside and it didn't feel that warm at all. It was quite nice with all the air flow and didn't really hear any more brake noise that was...

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I had a lot of interest in it when it first came out but its far out of my budget and not really what I want. I like the LR4 better. The 5.0 V8 engine is pretty good even with its quirks. I was trying to find the TTV6 engine problems and found the Tundra has a 5.7L V8. It only makes 6 HP more...

    Lr4 Brakes

    I put stop squeak on the rear Land Rover brand pads and then drove around running errands in 100F heat with both front and rear brake pads treated. They are WAY quieter, but there is a little squeak here and there from the front and back. I think it might be the pads vibrating in those metal...

    Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off

    This Land Rover is the first car I've had with a spare tire since 2005 when I had a Silverado truck with the 496CI big block V8 and the Allison 5speed. I'm pretty happy with it tbh. Its a second option where the first would be to plug the tire. I bought a new kit to replace the cheap pos I tried...

    Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off

    Instead of using the concrete block like in the OP under the jack, I cut up a 2X6 to put underneath instead. Its way better this way, the block I had found near my apartment so I had used it instead of buying a block for it. I was thinking a 6X6 would be better, but I couldn't find any pieces...

    Lr4 Brakes

    The front Ferodos started squealing massively. Yesterday, the harder I braked the louder the sound became so it was a situation were I didn't want to hit the brakes while driving around lol. Two things had changed since the brakes were fine, someone was working on the rotor and brakes changing...

    I think mold got on my seats

    The Lysol is making a positive impact to the mold. It changed color to be lighter over a 24 hr period. I might wait another day or give it another application, but it looks promising.

    New engine noise

    I called the Land Rover dealer it was serviced at in CA to get history on the air suspension and there was a lot of service data to sort through. The service guy looked and started to end the call saying he didn't see anything in the records just regular maintenance and I would thank him and...

    Tech inspection failed

    The shop fixed the problem and said it was the backing plate that was loose.

    Tech inspection failed

    Great advice, I appreciate it. The brand is the Lemforders. I dropped it off this morning and provided steps to make the noise. 25 MPH on their own street and drive on the reflectors. I went down there over the weekend to find the easiest way to do it to save time.
