1-Yr Check-in and Trouble Code Rant
Just wanted to update this thread for posterity. About 200 miles after this, the CEL came back on and the same P0089-64 was being thrown. For the next 500 miles or so the light would come and go. I would usually clear it or ignore it as there was no indication there was anything wrong. Because... -
Dealership Multi-Point Inspection INSANE Recommendations!
Are you in California? Because this would be the only way I could see shelling out that kind of money for cats, especially in a day and age where cat theft is rampant. If you’re not required to be CARB compliant, just get some high quality aftermarket cats for $500. -
18" vs 19" for All Terrain Tires
19s have very few tire options. I have a set of 19s in my garage I never mounted because the tire selection was atrocious. Went with 18s and 275/65/18s all the way around. Been very happy- but these AT tires knock an easy 2MPG off the fuel economy. I’m very happy with the way it looks and... -
Moab Trail Recommendations
White Rim Road. It’s about 100 miles (it’ll take two days) but it’s unbelievable views 100% of the time. You’ll have to book your campsites (they only allow 50 people in per day, we saw two other trucks in 2.5 days). There’s a few spots that might make you hold the wheel tight but nothing... -
Dealership Multi-Point Inspection INSANE Recommendations!
What the dealership wants is you to do, which is what most Land Rover owners would do, is just walk over to the new car lot and buy a new one instead of investing $20k in a $20k truck. They’ll offer you $12k on trade or some crap towards a new $75k vehicle. And it prob works on most Land Rover... -
no air post gas line recall service
I’ve replaced the faulty part on the gas tank twice now myself and I didn’t even pop the hood. Even if they disconnected your battery (and they may very well have a policy that requires them to disconnect the battery when working on anything fuel related) they shouldn’t have touched the AC. If... -
275 or 265 with GAP tool only
275/65/18 with no lift, no adjustment made with GAP tool. I did have to trim the frame horns and remold some of the plastic in the wheel well. First image is standard height, second is offroad height. -
Only 5 quarts of oil drained second oil change in a row (also… drain plug?)
Well it turns out I had to put about 7.5 liters back in. Which means I was running like 3 liters short. There was no low oil warning. No indication there was an issue. I am not sure how it got 3 liters short, I’m the second owner, truck is semi-local (previous owner was in Manhattan Beach)... -
Only 5 quarts of oil drained second oil change in a row (also… drain plug?)
Okay- so first time I did an oil change on the 2014, I’d just gotten the truck. I thought maybe the last oil change wasn’t filled all the way or there was some circumstance that may have caused it when only 4.5 quarts came out. I put 8 in, everything was fine. Fast forward about 7500 miles, I... -
2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
Ugh. So I stripped the hex on the fill hole bolt trying to get it off the supercharger. I ended up just moving along. You can change the oil on the supercharger while it's in the vehicle... a project for another weekend now. If I don't get around to it, I know I'm going be pulling the... -
2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
I can confirm fitment of supercharger isolator/coupler (EATON SOLID LSA/LS9 COUPLER) EAT-361506 from Superchargers Online. There is conflicting info in Jag/LR forums about which couplers are noisy, which ones are faulty. There is conflicting info about “if it’s snug, file it down because it... -
Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)
I just did the crossovers in my 2014 (wrapped the project up tonight after running into some issues with cheap plastic fittings in the water pump). I’d be reluctant to jump on this until others have used it. I’m at 87k miles now, first time rear has been done (it was leaking). The front had... -
Help identifying 14-16 part (PCV hose) I broke while doing rear crossover.
That may be the wire connector not connecting to anything you specifically mentioned. I need to wrap this project up. I’m stating to run out of steam. But as focused as I was a few days ago. -
GAP TOOL (LA or SF)?! 2015 LR4
I always drive with my parking/dims on because I love the looks of the those light strips. If you leave it to the DRLs, when you turn your turn signal on, it turns the light off on the side you’re turning (presumably to make the orange blinking light more obvious. But then it just looks like... -
Help identifying 14-16 part (PCV hose) I broke while doing rear crossover.
Cool I think my rig job is probably going to be permanent. It’s not petty but it’s secure and can be removed easily. I’m just tired of spending $60 here, $80 there on this project. If I ever get access to a salvage LR4 for parts j could see grabbing that part. It’s totally accessible without...
