2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay
Agreed, under 5k. Figure $8k-12k for a rebuild or replacement engine.- HuskerBred

Known Auto-Salvage (Junk Yard) Resources for Harvesting Hard to Find Parts
I don't have a specific retailer, but one of my stragegies has been finding parts from damaged rovers on ebay. If I need engine parts, I find a listing for a parts car, including a vin and pics, that has rear damage. and vice cersa if I need parts from the rear of the vehicle. I always make sure...- HuskerBred

Device error
What you need is an Invery bluetooth adapter. It plugs into the propriatory plug. Make sure you get the one for your LR4. My phone connects automatically now, every single time I get into the car. Works great and sounds real good. Found on amazon for about $75.- HuskerBred

2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side
I wish I had seen this before you replaced the vacuum pump. It's literally a 15 minute job with a $100-200 part. I bought a vacuum pump from the company that makes them for LR and installed it myself after my indy shop wanted to do it for $1100.- HuskerBred

Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
I had the same dilema last year when my motor had the starvation issue on the top end, chucks of metal inside the engine "somewhere". I had the same options and chose to do the Tapa engine. All in it cost around $21k. Mine is a 2012 in immaculate condition, new tires, etc. Now it runs like a...- HuskerBred

LR4 5.0L V8 MAP Sensor Replacement DIY
Thank you for this write up. I've been having issues for the last few months, and was kind of at my wits end chasing gremlins. I'd clean the throttle body, and it would be fine for a few days, then restricted performance, reset the error codes, and be good for a few days, then restricted...- HuskerBred

LR4 Restricted performance, rough idle
Cleaning the throttle body seemed to fix the issue for me, until yesterday. All week it drove great, plenty of power, no lights or issues, then yesterday it suddenly dropped into restricted mode for a city block, I parked it and it started idling fine again. Then everything was fine the rest of...- HuskerBred

LR4 Restricted performance, rough idle
I'm having the same issue, along with throttle body codes. I just cleaned the throttle body with MAF cleaner and it seems better. I'm wondering if replacing the throttle body fixed this for you.- HuskerBred

LR4 Headlight turned Amber?
I installed a set of the brighter bulbs in my son's 2015 Audi A4 and they are definitely brighter. Although I cheaped out and bought the $5 ones, because its not my car, and not my money. They both work fine.- HuskerBred

Camshaft Sensor and Low Oil Level..
Elite obviously knew Rover engines, or at least knew more than some of the other shops did. Tapa did it on mine, they fix the oil starvation issue and timing chain guide issues when they rebuild, then overbuild the long blocks so they are better than they came from the factory: FORTIFIED...- HuskerBred

Camshaft Sensor and Low Oil Level..
Ironically, my engine is also a rebuilt that was just replaced this last spring. Mine came from Tapa Jaguar and Land Rover Engine out of Santa Clarita, CA. I'm happy with the engine, less than happy with the shop that has been doing work on my rover. The install went fine and I haven't had many...- HuskerBred

Camshaft Sensor and Low Oil Level..
I recently had my 2011 Rover throw multiple codes and one of the causes was low oil, so I checked the level and found I was 2 quarts low. It showed I was low when I checked it, but I never had a warning light pop up. I had a new radiator installed and wonder if oil was lost/drained for some...- HuskerBred

Multiple error codes in cold weather
Maybe. I noticed I was a quart low on oil, so I topped it off and put it on the maintenance charger for the night. I had the radiator replaced the day before this all started, and after discovering a leak, had it replaced again today. They chased down the error codes, but nothing really panned...- HuskerBred

Multiple error codes in cold weather
I had cleared the codes a couple times over the last couple weeks until I realized the errors went away after it warmed up. I just had the radiator replaced before this started so I wondered if they didn't seal something or something was loose. It's going back in for another radiator next week...- HuskerBred

Multiple error codes in cold weather
Ever since the weather turned frigid cold a couple weeks ago here in the midwest I've been having issues with cold starts. I used to be able to fire up my rover, back out of the garage and take off just fine. Now I start her up and back out and the dash lights up like an xmas tree. I get...- HuskerBred
