    Is anyone interested in an LR hitch receiver?

    I’m trying to gauge interest in a used Land Rover branded hitch receiver. It is the newer style short version instead of the old long drop style. I’m thinking I’d sell it around $450 including a new lock and set of keys, or $400 without new lock and keys (that can be purchased for about $30 and...

    Selling LR4

    If you have an IIDTool you can go in to the service options where you reset service interval and there’s an option for something that says “replace secondary/auxiliary battery” or something very similar. You Will know immediately that you’re looking at the right thing. You don’t HAVE to do it...

    FOR SALE: BRAND NEW Exide EK151 Auxiliary Battery - Eco Stop/Start Battery

    I sold my LR4 before I had time to even put the replacement Exide EK151 battery in to make the Eco Stop/Start warning go away. You cannot get this battery in the United States so I had to order it from Europe. If anyone is interested in purchasing it just let me know. This is the exact battery...

    Selling LR4

    So, I actually sold my LR4... What you have to do is remove the plastic battery cover, remove the gray foam topper piece, then use a socket (I want to say it’s 10 or 12mm) and remove the two bolts securing the metal strap that keeps the battery in place. The rest of the process is just like...

    Selling LR4

    My LR4 started showing Eco Stop/Start unavailable a couple of weeks ago. A quick search online reveals it’s probably the auxiliary battery has died. It’s 5 years old, so that makes sense. I replaced the big main battery last year with a new AGM battery, but didn’t bother with the secondary...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    If I had the 5.0L I would have done it myself, but I didn’t want to take the supercharger off myself. I really wish I would have had them do spark plugs and the supercharger isolator while they were working on it.

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    We’re in the fuel industry. All of the raw petroleum is transported to terminals from one central pipeline (for example, the Colonial Pipeline). Only at the terminal is the fuel then separated and a tiny fractional amount of additives put into the fuel. Sheetz is one of the larger East Coast gas...

    2020 Defender Drive Impressions.

    I really want to like the new Defender but I’m concerned about several things. For one, when you’re building a 110 HSE online the smallest stock tire size is again a 19” wheel, which is the WORST possible size for any off road tires. I mean there are hardly any legitimate options. So then you go...

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    You don’t experience the rough idle and idle fluctuation almost everyone I know with the V6 has? It’s the worst idling engine I’ve encountered in recent years. It tries to idle at 600rpm, but it fluctuates down into the 500s and starts shaking like a leaf. Maybe it’s an early production issue...

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    I have had the 6HP and the 8HP. The 8HP might shift marginally quicker, but it feels like 1st-2nd is too abrupt and almost like 2nd should be the normal starting ratio. If JLR had just put the 8HP with the 5.0L V8 instead of dropping the LR4 to the SCV6, it would have been great. I get worse...

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    I drive it like I stole it and it’s still a sluggish beast. I liked my old V8 6-speed LR4 much better. While the LR4 and RRS RE DIFFERENT, they’re the same in the sense the engine and transmission are identical. The new D5 and RRS and even full size RR are essentially the exact same vehicles...

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    I’d like to have faster shifts, more intelligent shift logic and hopefully get better fuel economy. All of those things would be possible with a software change. I drove a RRS V6 a while back and it definitely seemed to have better transmission programming than my 2014 LR4. Even though they...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    I haven’t been buying fuel all that often the last couple of months because I’ve been mainly driving my Tesla, but I only ever go to Shell, BP and occasionally Sheetz. It’s always filled with 93 octane. It is a mystery to me. What’s funny though is that after picking it up yesterday I could hear...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    So I just heard from the dealer. The Bosch “aftermarket” injectors work fine and the car is running like new now. I’m so glad I risked it by getting these injectors and saving $2500 in parts. So if this happens to anyone make sure you order the Bosch part number 62820 and you’ll save...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    So I think I’m just going to order the Bosch aftermarket part 62820 (which is equivalent to JLR’s V8 injectors and what’s used in 2013 V6 models). Nobody has a clue if there’s any actual difference other than part number. has anyone heard of there being physical changes to the engine depending...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    I'm really not sure this LR dealer is competent. They're trying to tell me it would be $4000 to do just injectors, I asked if it could be fuel contamination and they're trying to say they can't tell. I asked if they checked HPFP was functioning correctly and they're not sure and said "the...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    The dealer wants nearly $4,000 to replace the 6 injectors. I about passed out when they said it would be that much. They’re claiming $2800 of it is in parts. I can find injectors on Atlantic British for the 5.0L V8 for $899.99 including the seal kit, but I can’t find any injectors online for the...

    2014 LR4 - "system too lean" fault codes

    Did you have a CPO extended warranty or did they do this with some sort of TSB extended warranty?

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    Also, there’s no sign of oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. The oil was nice and golden brown from what I could see in the oil cap and on timing chain. Coolant was bright orange.

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    so the dealer just called and said there are multiple injectors stuck open. Which is quite odd. I hadn’t recently filled up with fuel and I’ve always religiously put premium fuel in from trusted brands like Sheetz, Shell, etc. I asked if they had any other explanation or cause of the supposed...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    Just went by and took my IIDTool. Of course there’s no stored faults for the engine. It did start today but I immediately cut it off as the thick oily smoke was pouring out and it didn’t sound quite right. No CEL was illuminated when the car was running. Very frustrating that the car could have...

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    It was thick whitish blue smoke. I’d think supercharger but it wouldn’t even start after it died.i did take the oil filler cap off she at least the oil on the bottom of the cap looked normal.

    Forgot to mention it only has 65,000 miles on it.

    Engine troubles - 3.0L SC V6 - possible multiple-injector failure

    I did too. The smoke and vibration was the tell tale sign of issues, not the CEL. If they say it’s complete engine failure I think I’ll throw up.
