PURCHASING A 2012 LR4 HSE OVERLAND BUILD
The answer is: It depends. Your going to find that replacement parts to mileage varies across the board. Im at 178k and have done the front coolant pipes twice, water pump, thermostat, and the rear pipe once. Havent done chains yet as I have minimal noise and I checked for chain slack when I... -

LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
My trans is starting to shudder a little bit again. I guess lubeguard will only get you so far, but as a temp work around, it definitely helped. I ordered the lubelocker gasket and will be ordering the pan/fluid kit and an IR thermometer here soon to do this. Not looking foward to it, but has to... -

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.
