2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
I would want to chase that leak down. Btw, on your original question...My 2016 only 23K on the ODO sounds pretty much like that. Having a repair reserve $'s is a good plan. Even on the SC v6 the cooling system...crossovers, water pump etc. is an achilles heal. -

Just saw the CARFAX. Not bad- one owner, ok miles, certainly dealer maintained. Should be able to drill down on all of that if need be. -

If you're still tempted: Mileage on it?..history?..and price? Or maybe I missed that?... -

Probably did if sales/revenue proportion has anything to do with it: 2016 was a record year of sorts for JLR- 521.5K total units world wide (first MY over 500K)- 427.1K LR, 94.5K Jag. 82% and 18%. 2023 same trend on less sales JLR 420.5K total units - 356K LR, 64K Jag. 85% and 15% That said... -

How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover
Thanks again, and welcome to the forum. There's a wealth of useful and important info here,...including your input. I intend to keep mine for a long while. Every time I think otherwise and start considering what the current options are that might at least duplicate what it offers (and their... -

How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover
Excellent cautionary advice in your first paragraph. Would also like to know the miles on your truck now?...and the mileage when you had the front cooling parts done; what had actually failed then, and approximately how much the indy shop charged for that work?? A 2016 here with 23K miles on... -

Fluids change after 9 years?
I'll add to the budget. I get the wisdom of the fluids and lubes, but can't see doing 'spark plugs' until there seems to be an issue? Save those $'s in case one of the coolant pipes starts spewing before 40K? (SMH..LOL). -

Fluids change after 9 years?
"Advisable?" Yes! I have 2016 with 23k miles. I checked the JLR maintenance schedule some time ago for important items that supposedly 'timeout' regardless of mileage. Ten years is certainly a milestone. My thinking is just do it...relatively cheap insurance with these machines: - Change brake... -

2016 LR4 Landmark SCV6 Engine Failure at 65k. WWYD?
I did get a coolant warning while driving a bunch in the desert last summer. Amber triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle along with a message - "coolant level low" or "check coolant level"...don't recall exactly, but sure enough, it was...(there is a sensor). -

2016 LR4 Landmark SCV6 Engine Failure at 65k. WWYD?
Further- from the Manual, pg. 220: "If the oil level is below the required operating range, a message advising you of how much oil to add will be displayed (e.g. Add 1 Pint)". I don't recall seeing that, but I've only added oil a couple of times between changes (perhaps shouldn't have). The... -

2016 LR4 Landmark SCV6 Engine Failure at 65k. WWYD?
Agreed! the electronic gauge/oil level is useless as a 'warning' system. It's only usefulness is to check the oil level and 'top up the oil' which the manual says should be done weekly (I sure haven't been doing that, but will start). You're right, even though there are 8 marks on the scale, it... -

2016 LR4 Landmark SCV6 Engine Failure at 65k. WWYD?
Oof!!! Sorry! Seems like a rare occurrence...if not unprecedented. I am very (selfishly) interested to hear the results of the 'autopsy'. That said, and just spitballing, if it's still in great shape in all other respects (seems like you've indicated that), you still really like it, and it must... -

Help to buy LR3 or RR Sport
I have owned both, a 2013 RRS HSE Lux 5.0 NA V8, and a 2006 LR3...but it was a loaded HSE 4.4 300 hp V8. Both great vehicles, but the LR3 was a bit underpowered. I imagine that the old 4.0 L V6 with 216 hp would be even more so. And unless that LR3 is really optioned-up (not sure what all was... -

Highest mileage LR4?
This is on the opposite end of the V8 LR4 mileage spectrum, but worth mentioning because it is EXTREMELY rare. 2013 HSE well equipped; one owner 24k miles; traded to the JLR dealer that originally sold it; clean CARFAX; lived it's entire life in the So. Cal. desert. Just arrived and will not be...
