Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
are they not pre-primed from the factory? what’s the purpose of the procedure? -

sorry to hear about your daughter, Brian. luckily kids handle this otherwise very nasty disease relatively well with a very high survivability rate. wishing her a speedy recovery! just a food for thought: some ctek battery chargers have a battery recondition mode where they try to give the... -

Zip kit and fluid change, now won't go past 5th
your signature says 47k mi on the truck. there should be no debris to speak of that could potentially cause these issues or clutch to fail. most likely they botched up the install and are now trying to make it your problem. would definitely have someone with experience doing this work take a... -

My LR4 experiences in terms of mechanical issues that keep piling up
market has softened but 2013s still command a premium over older years due to (debatable) timing chain guide/tensioner redesign. another option would be to try and sell it if the ongoing maintenance and repairs are getting on your nerves. -

Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
this looks like a bmw n63/s63 engine by the looks of it. you haven’t known pain until you owned one of the early ones. -

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
@RoverTide their website says that the elbow doesn’t fit NA 5.0L motor and fits only the supercharged variants. it worked fine on yours without further modifications? -

Made an appointment for timing chain fix
It is absolutely reasonable but you should get the confirmation beforehand. As far as deposit for parts, a lot of dealers charge restocking fees, and if you’re a new customer, it’s totally understandable that they’d ask you to prepay for parts. -

maintenance history since new 2013

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
the two killers of these engines are coolant component failures and timing chains (to a lesser degree). not aware of other big instances where engines just blow up. i would absolutely take care of cooling system maintenance proactively.
