    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    Who is the OE supplier? RockAuto has Pierburg and Vaico as options. Thanks!

    Oil cooler hose to radiator - o-ring size?

    I'm about to do the radiator and noticed the connector from the oil cooler will need to be moved over. It's the LR059162 pipe. Does this have an o-ring inside it (seems similar to the *** coolant connectors) and if so does anyone know the size?

    Antoher parking brake tale of woe

    Just to close this out. I had pulled the EPB module and 'reset' it (wound the bowden cables out and turned the driver side in 5 turns, also replaced the gears) before posting here. I thought that was clear from my original post but maybe not. I continued to have an issue so pulled the module...

    Antoher parking brake tale of woe

    It's not unlatched. I latched it manually when I had it apart.

    Antoher parking brake tale of woe

    Hi guys. Had the screech of death and a brake fault when applying the parking brake. Pulled the cable and drove on for a few weeks. Unjammed my EPB manually today and wound the black bar in 5 revolutions. Gears looked fine but also replaced them while I was in there. Relatched manually also...

    Leaking timing cover repair

    Thanks for the reply. So, while replacing the valve cover gasket; I will need to remove and reseal the timing cover? Or just doing the valve cover gasket itself will resolve it? I'm trying to visualize it. Thanks!

    Leaking timing cover repair

    5.0 V8 (2011 LR4) I had my valve covers replaced a few years ago. The timing chain cover on the passenger side is now leaking. Can I reseal it without redo’ing the valve cover? I’m at 122k miles. Thanks

    Recommended Indy shop in San Diego

    Well, here's the answer to question 2. I'm particularly interested in Question1 though if anyone has any ideas. Drive the parking brake to the mounting position -> This is to service the brakes Drive the parking brake to the latching position -> Return to normal/working position Longitudinal...

    Recommended Indy shop in San Diego

    One Indy shop here quoted me $2500. I know it needs rear brakes (discs for sure and most likely shoes, and pads since we're doing it!) so that's going to bump it another $500 - $1000. For now; I've popped the release on the parking brake and will drive on. I've ordered brake parts and will do...

    Recommended Indy shop in San Diego

    Can anyone recommend a reputable Indy in San Diego. My EPB just went out and I really don’t fancy doing the job myself. Most videos show how to fix it on an LR3, but access on the LR4 is much more limited. Thanks!

    LR4 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement?

    I can't help with the DIY piece but just wanted to add that my local dealer (San Diego area) wants $4000 to do both left and right gaskets (5.0 V8 in my 2011). Only one is leaking but they recommended doing both to save on labor. Luckily my extended warranty covers the leaking one so it's going...

    Bolt-on Roof Racks for LR4 Without Rails?

    I wanted to install a couple of Thule crossbars but didn't have the rails. Went on car-part.com and found some factory rails - with all the required bolts, washers, plastics caps for $125 from a wrecked LR4. That's usually my goto site for parts for all my cars. They arrived, fit great and...

    Well crap!

    The SCV6 and the V8 have the same V angles.
