Different oil level readings with hood open
do you guys ever use the "oil level calculated" value in the IID tool? When I do an oil change I measure that value right 20 mins after changing the oil and then I will occasionally check that value when the car is cold, fill it a bit, start the engine and run it for 5 seconds and then shut it...- Jimmy Brooks

Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
this is what I was wondering, if i rotate them could I pull it off or will it compromise the seal? I really want to avoid pulling them, I've heard the nightmares of others and I haven't had issues with the injectors throughout the entire life span of my engine. plus if i do pull them then i face...- Jimmy Brooks

Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
It is, I've been spectating the leak for ages. my upper timing cover is covered in oil fuzz and it starts to get liquid residue right under the passenger side upper timing cover. And my right side valve cover is leaking, I've seen smoke coming off the exhaust manifold on the drivers side, you...- Jimmy Brooks

Alternative sound system
Positive is routed from the battery and then grounded to one of the ground points for the taillights. You don’t want to ground anything to the battery negative terminal because it messes with the charging system.- Jimmy Brooks

Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
So finally the time has come. 4 years ago I noticed a bit of a leak developing from my LH valve cover gasket and my RH upper timing cover and valve cover gasket however ive never throught twice about it, just check the oil level live value on the IID tool every once and a while (when the car is...- Jimmy Brooks

Injector failure?
Swapped the coil and the spark plug and cleared the codes to see if the misfire would follow but strangely enough the issue is now gone… drove the car 30ish miles today with frequent moderate accelerations and I couldn’t recreate the issue. It’s really weird but the issue was also routinely and...- Jimmy Brooks

Injector failure?
Wow I did not know that but you guys are totally right. Again tho they are still pretty unspecific all suggesting the same thing but that makes it a lot easier because now I can swap the coil and plug with another cylinder and see if the issue follows. Also you can clear codes, you just can’t...- Jimmy Brooks

Injector failure?
Hey guys, currently chasing a misfire issue with my parents discovery 5 (3.0L SCV6). The issue started with the car making a bucking sensation when accelerating up hill under moderate (3.5k-4k rpm) and has slowly gotten worse over time. The issue always seems to exist when the car is under load...- Jimmy Brooks

Increased Performance
if you really want better brakes I've seen some people fit the 10-13 RRS Supercharged 6 piston brake calipers to LR4. Only problem is you cant fit 18 inch wheels on them.- Jimmy Brooks

ZF8HP70 for ZF6HP28 swap?
If you can figure out a way to get the ZF8 speed into v8 LR4s you’ll hit the holy grail. The fuel efficiency and acceleration boost for the NA V8 would be so significant. Personally not a fan of the slush box zf6hp26 I have in my 2010, already tore through one and don’t need to tear through another.- Jimmy Brooks

Loosing a little bit of coolant
Yup, every time I take the LR4 on a trip I fear I’ll be stranded due to a cooling issue. It really is a poor decision to use plastic that just rots out in heat, especially in the summer here in California.- Jimmy Brooks

Loosing a little bit of coolant
Hey guys, over the past couple of weeks that I’ve been driving my LR4 I’ve noticed a bit of coolant loss. Nothing crazy but over the last 1k miles I’ve noticed that it’s dropped into the middle of the two full lines on the expansion tank. The water pump was done around 75k miles and I have 146k...- Jimmy Brooks
