LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Did you use a GAP tool to watch trans temps? I still have this on my to-do list soon, but dont have a GAP tool. -

No issues??
I'd check the rim for any dents. If something in the suspension is off, I think you would know about it pretty quickly by either alignment being off or noise of some sort. -

Timing chain question: proactive or wait?
Im at 175k. Original chains and still quiet (knock on wood!) I change my oil every 4-5k and use 5w30 synthetic I buy in bulk at the wholesale club. When I changed my valve cover gaskets a while back, chain tension felt good with no slop. No idea if its the shorter change interval or heavier... -

Electrical issue/starting
That wire doesnt connect to anything. Was something that was used before delivery I think. We all have it. -

Tracking down suspension leak
If your going to pull the block, you may as well just get an O-ring kit for it and rebuild it. You are already 100% into it at that point. -

Most popular injector puller?
With the box sides removed, it opens up a bunch of space. I found the trickiest to be very bottom rears and down along the bottom of the valve cover tight against the wheel wells/frame. -

Tracking down suspension leak
https://www.ebay.com/itm/201719259934 No way Im paying $69 for a brass fitting. The reality is the brass is probably fine. If anything its the o-ring. There is a brass ferrule on the plastic line. Removing it when installing my new shocks usually broke it. -

Tracking down suspension leak
Have your struts/airbags ever been replaced? My leaks were the airbags themselves. Raise it all the way up and spray soapy water all over the bags. If you do this in a quiet spot, you may hear the bubbling like I did. -

Most popular injector puller?
I used an Amazon puller as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DSBTC6K?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_8 Drivers rear injector was the hardest to get because of space, but otherwise all injectors pulled out fine. I think the key is just making sure you are pulling straight up. Its... -

Coolant pipe replacement every 5 years on V8?
We arent replacing the aluminum engine block and heads every 5 years. I imagine if I had aluminum pipes, they probably wouldnt get replaced again unless its a bad porous casting. With OEM plastic pipes, I've done the front twice, rear once. First time it started leaking where the O-rings/pipes... -

What Did You Do To Your LR Today?
Oil Change, 5 tire rotation. Now have a TPMS fault showing. Hopefully the system just needs some time to relearn the sensors. Got to get a Gap tool and transmission pan/filter kit ordered to do that before it gets hot again. -

2015 LR4 126,000 miles What Preventive Maintenance to do next?
I put poly bushings on mine around 20K miles ago. They are definitely a harsher ride, but I was going on my third set of front LCA bushings and quite frankly I was just done with paying parts and labor to do LCA swaps every 70K miles or so. At this point I dont even notice the ride anymore as... -

Clunking sound on very cold start
Yep, fan clutch. Mine has been doing it for a couple years now.
