    Radiator Replacement

    Also, FYI, I accidentally bought an extra one of those vacuum fill kits. Brand new in box. I am willing to sell at a discount.

    Radiator Replacement

    I've been dragging my feet for almost 2 years on preemptively replacing all things relating to cooling (pipes, t-stat, pump), but I was not planning on including the radiator. Should I? I have a 2013 with 57k miles.

    There may be nothing you can do... P0016

    Well, I'm fortunate in that we average under 5k miles per year for the past few years and now have even more cars, so hopefully even with a somewhat premature issue at 80k miles I still have 5+ years. We'll see what seems like the right move when and if it happens, but the LR4 is otherwise...

    There may be nothing you can do... P0016

    Interesting. I have a 2013 with "low miles" at 57k, but with a late build date of July 2013 I always figured I didn't have to worry about he chain issue. I'd love to know what happened with a well-maintained 2013.

    Highest mileage LR4?

    Interesting. That’s the closest comp to my LR4 I’ve seen in a while. I have a 2013 Lux that I ordered new with the rear locker with a meticulous history and only 57k miles. Car is in excellent condition in and out, but it has lived in New England its whole life.

    Failed emissions - no faults

    I wanted to circle back and close the loop. I bought a new battery, reset all codes and drove the car for a while. We took it to Canada and put close to 900 miles on the new battery. It passed with no problems. IMO, chalk this one up to yet another electrical gremling caused by an aging battery...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    True. And a scary prospect for prospective buyers of used LR4s.

    Highest mileage LR4?

    Hey, it is THE family car for trips. This thing has been everywhere including Canada dozens of times. It's also the only way to transport our Berner. We have other cars and I am glad it has low miles because we love it since we bought it new and 10+ years later we see no reason to sell it. My...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    I'm at the opposite end. Ours is at 57.5k miles.

    Failed emissions - no faults

    I ran IID tool yesterday and saw a couple of strange ground faults. One re: an antenna and another (multiple instances) re: the e-brake, which I largely stopped using years ago. I replaced the battery with a new H8 AGM. I got a check engine light and ran the tool again and now it was showing a...

    Failed emissions - no faults

    Yeah, but this was way more than that. My son called and i could hear the ringing via the car but nothing showed up on the screen. I hit the button on the wheel and I could hear him talk but he could not hear me. Nothing like that has ever happened. That it happened a day after allegedly the car...

    Failed emissions - no faults

    So, coincidentally, the BT phone connection acted up big time just now. I’m thinking that it’s the 5.5-year old battery acting up. I’ll replace that and see.

    Failed emissions - no faults

    My wife took a photo and sent it. That’s literally all it says. Drive it more and test again.

    Failed emissions - no faults

    Hmmm. I was going by what my wife told me. It seems it says the vehicle is not ready because it recently was reset. I don’t recall doing any work that would have caused that reset. I guess for now I’ll drive it more and try again.

    Failed emissions - no faults

    As the title mentions, 2013 LR4 failed Massachusetts inspection for emissions. I figured it would be a bad O2 sensor, but IID Tool shows no faults. Any thoughts?

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    Reading this thread with interest. I've been accumulating parts for my LR4 for over a year now. Finally, this past weekend I did part 1: front discs and rotors as well as hubs and LCA's. PITA to cult off the bolts and the job took a while, but it was quite successful and made much easier with a...

    I think I need a new bearing. Do LCA replacements "while I'm in there"?

    Great! Will try that. Thanks!

    Continental terraincontact AT tire wear

    At the rate we are going, we will need to replace ours on years and not miles. This is their 4th year and I don't think we've put 15k miles on them. Add the fact that we rotate a 5th full size spare into the rotation and these will have to be swapped out before 30k, worn or not.

    I think I need a new bearing. Do LCA replacements "while I'm in there"?

    Ah, ok. So this might all just be LCA's then. Thanks! I'll check for that.

    I think I need a new bearing. Do LCA replacements "while I'm in there"?

    I don't think it's the wheels+tires. I say that because the condition is not persistent. it comes and goes. I'll put it up on the lift today or tomorrow and try to assess the issue a bit better. My understanding from reading this forum for years is that LCA's have to be replaced at 60-80k...

    How Much Do You Pay For Insurance?

    I think I'm in the $600-700 range per year. Fairly high limits. $1k collision. $500 comprehensive. $100 for glass.

    I think I need a new bearing. Do LCA replacements "while I'm in there"?

    It's been a while since I've posted here. Our bone-stock, ordered-new, 2013 LR4 has been very good to us and it has been well-taken care of. Sadly, no chances to go off-roading, so it has been pampered. Nevertheless, a few incidents lead me to believe it needs at least one new bearing. It's...

    Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?

    My LR4 has always had minor surface rust issues on the frame. I've mentioned it before, but twice a year when I install and remove winter wheels&tires I will hit the rust spots with black, sprayable rust reformer...

    How To - DIY - 2016 LR4 - F/R Crossover Pipes, Water Pump, Thermostat, Coolant, Supercharger Oil, Supercharger Coupling

    Thanks for sharing. I've had the parts now for a year, but keep pushing off this work because of other more pressing home projects. Mine is a <50k mile 2013 (V8), but still.

    Spark plugs?

    My 2018 BMW M3 requires spark plugs changed every three years no matter what. Mine were changed at ~10k miles. Luckily it was covered under the free maintenance program.
