2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
Also a transmission pan leak might be indicative of a prior pan swap/fluid flush, which would likely be a positive indicator that the prior owner at least tried to keep it maintained. -

Each experience like this will make you appreciate it that much more, possibly enough so that you put up with the quirks and expensive maintenance... -

2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
Mine is off by quite a bit, I use fuelly to track actual, and for the most part it seems consistent. I'm lucky to get 17 on the highway, around town it's more like 11. What's the procedure for correcting it using the IID tool? -

I don't think anyone should be scared. There's very little on the market that ticks all the boxes the LR4 ticks. If it wasn't so good you wouldn't have invested into making it an overlander. Part of that investment is hobby, part of it travel expenses. -

People often ask what things cost, I figured I'd add some data for folks to help make decisions. I don't think it's terrible, to be honest - it's been a great vehicle for our family of 6 and has found a renewed purpose as an adventure vehicle now that kids are growing up. I probably should... -

Engine goes into reduced power mode
What's the ford part number, and what other models was it installed on? I could only make out the 60255 bit. -

Aluminum thermostat housing
When I had the cross-over pipes done (V8) I asked the shop about replacing the thermostat, and they said there wasn't a need until it starts showing signs of issues, that they don't fail catastrophically. I don't know if failure mode relates the thermostat itself, or the housing, and if... -

LR4 Ignition Coil Code Issues
Yep, those code are for individual cylinders: Some folks reported issues with grounding from the head leading to ignition issues, so I'd probably start there. If you swap coils side to side, do the codes follow the coils, or stay with the head? -

There may be nothing you can do... P0016
I believe the chains will give you a lot of warning (via noise) before you skip a tooth, so you're probably fine waiting. Unlike coolant system that can fail catastrophically without warning. -

maintenance history since new 2013
I think you'll probably get it over the **** and it'll be good again.
