    Cooling System/Crossover Pipe

    Oh blimey, that certainly must not have been the most ideal thing to complete it twice. I decided to let an indy shop complete the job due to some time constraints and a nagging back problem, but at $3k, I felt a little guilty not doing it myself just for self-gratification more so than even the...

    Cooling System/Crossover Pipe

    I used ChatGPT to create print version, I like a bit of an old fashion type of instruction. I attempted to iron out the guide as best as possible- I will be replacing Serpentine Belt, cooling hose, Intake Gasket and Plenum and perhaps a few more items. Did I miss anything? Complete Cooling...

    Cooling System/Crossover Pipe

    I am pondering it for sure, and thanks for the tip about utilising OEM parts. I will have to estimate the time factor to ensure it doesn't become a month-long project due to professional obligations. What is the approximate time required for this job?

    Cooling System/Crossover Pipe

    Just picked up a 2016 Landmark after a couple of years of searching and noticed that it is leaking coolant, barely, but it is leaking from the water pump. Not a big deal, since I had planned on changing out the entire cooling system anyway, well most of it. Here is the estimate I got from an...

    I took the leap...

    GONOLES!!! Absolutely a beauty. BTW, I kid you not, you beat me to that LR4, I was chatting with Juan about it myself. How is the vehicle after almost 5 months?

    2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE

    I feel like dating the girl my grand mum warned against. That appears to be accurate and has been a part of my consternation about purchasing it.

    Thanks for checking it out. The oil leak I suppose is the sticking point. The price is below my budget, and I have a sizeable budget for repairs and preventative work. Oil leaks sort of scare me.

    That is terrific to know. The previous owner did have a flush completed as well as Valve cover gasket(s) replaced (11-2022) Cylinder head gasket(s) replaced (11-2022) Exhaust manifold gasket replaced. (11-2022) I am still tempted to take the plunge and get it, knowing repairs are eminent. But...

    Jaguar has a presence that BMW and many others just do not possess Perhaps I can't be impartial, but Jaguar has much more of an opulent presence than the aforementioned CLS 55. But I have had them in my family for a very long time and I have seen the occasional Lexus (3), BMW (2) and Mercedes...

    You are correct, I had an inspection completed that indicated confirmed that, however, a small fluid leak was detected but sadly the inspector failed to ascertain what the fluid was and were it is originating from. Well, fast forward a day later, the seller told me that someone else was...

    Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?

    Toyota's while a little more reliable has had numerous recalls and safety issues recently, they are not the same Toyota's from 10 -15years ago. Recently, they even have had transmission problems. Buy what you like and don't compromise. We are guilty of virtually compromising every facet of our...
