There may be nothing you can do... P0016
Update: The code came on right after an oil change and my wife was driving (she has bad luck with anything electrical, as did my father, anyone else know someone like this?) We parked it for a week (3rd car) as I was travelling. When I moved it behind the shed the light and code were gone. Now...- Al Pizzica

Fluids change after 9 years?
Personally I wouldn't do anything if it is stored indoors and treated well otherwise. https://www.thedrive.com/news/motor-oil-age-doesnt-matter-as-much-as-mileage-study- Al Pizzica

Aftermarket Exhaust anyone?
Engineers mostly balance things. Marketing people want more of everything. The business people want the most profit. The engineers find the balance.- Al Pizzica

Aftermarket Exhaust anyone?
For me, as a mechanical engineer in a former life, it's less about look at me and more about how a 5.0L should sound. The factory exhaust kills all that. It could politely announce it's presence a little more IMHO.- Al Pizzica

Another, probably cheaper, option is to find the best muffler guy in your area and seek his advice, he can delete the center muffler and swap the back ones with ones that will give the sound you want for way less than the complete cat back system.- Al Pizzica

Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order
If the D5 wasn't shaped like like an egg it wouldn't be such a bad rig. I spent a lot of time in my friend's D5 traveling between the major Texas cities and it is a great highway rig, better than the 4 luxury wise. I'm in a rental Jeep GC-L and it too is better on the highway but it feels like a...- Al Pizzica

This tech I talked to has seen a few failed chains in 12 years as a tech but only when they were already making a bunch of noise and throwing restricted performance codes.- Al Pizzica

Thanks to @ttforcefed I connected with a real pro and am going to go ahead with a full service including all the weak points and timing chain. I'll get his expert opinion on what was actually failing on my "updated" chains and have a full report back to the group. As @ryanjl said I thought I...- Al Pizzica

2016 LR4 Landmark SCV6 Engine Failure at 65k. WWYD?
Super bummer and I feel your pain as I am in a somewhat less crappy position. 110k and I know the chains are loose. I have it parked up while I think about it. I was considering donating it as a 5th option but I don't even know if that would affect my taxes with the new standard deduction. In...- Al Pizzica

It's funny, in all my searches, in all the YouTubes, there are tons and tons of noisy chains, reduced power codes, cars barely running but nothing I can find of it letting go and catastrophically breaking the chain and wrecking the engine. The car sounds fine, I would drive it to someplace to...- Al Pizzica

It did. Great car fax except for a minor fender bender involving someone backing into the driver door.- Al Pizzica

Engine goes into reduced power mode
When I was digging around on my P0016 issue I came across this on another forum. I don't pretend to have any idea what the final sentence means TSB No: LTB00347 (ISSUE 1) 22 DEC 2010. Situation: On vehicles with the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated LR-V8 engine only, the engine Malfunction...- Al Pizzica

Correct, never been changed. Does not make any of the horrible chain noises I have seen on dozens of YouTubes. Anyone know of a reputable shop in NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD? There were two around here one closed when the guy retired and the other one has gone downhill.- Al Pizzica

Just got P0016, 110k miles '13 LR4. Chain inside oil filler has a about 1/2" of play, seems "loose" to me. Did everything we possibly could to prevent this when we got it at 67k. Frequent oil changes and whatnot. At a real crossroads here...- Al Pizzica

I'll be the contrarian and say that I like what they did there. It obviously is supposed to look like a fighter jet stick in front of those military style switch gear and for that look it works. The BMW guy in me totally sees the fish out of water as well but to the target buyer and for the look...- Al Pizzica
