Anyone try the ceramic brembo pads that rockauto offers?
Appreciate the info, I may try these on my next brake replacement. Have done this twice already on my 2010 LR4, first time at dealer, ridiculous price for the job $3500 - I was naive and fairly new LR owner, second time bought kit from Atlantic British and had local guy do it, still over $1000... -
Fuel Line Replacement
So I found a local mechanic just down the road from my house who agreed to work on it. Called Land Rover dealer and told them I was sending tow truck. Dealer charged me $115 for diagnosis of issue. $250 to tow to dealer, another $250 to tow to local guys shop. Several days later he told me... -
Fuel Line Replacement
Appreciate everyone's input! Definitely leaking from up front, no where near tank, bad with key on, slowed and stopped with key off. By time I figured out what was going on (sitting in dark in middle of blind curve on small back road) which took less than 5 minutes there was a quarter tank of... -

Anyone have suggestions on a good reference for doing a repair such as this? Preferably LR4 specific -
Fuel Line Replacement
The 1500 for the brake job was 900 for parts kit from Rover parts - discs, pads, etc and 600 for local mechanic to do the job. Dealer wanted 4000 to do the same thing! For me it was worth it to pay local guy to do it for 600. Second time it had to be done since new, first time I was naive and... -
Fuel Line Replacement
I would consider doing it myself if I knew what I was getting myself into, but the dealer saying it was an 11 hour job has me a bit leery, certainly a lot more than fixing lines on my old Austin Healey Sprite -
Fuel Line Replacement
Not really sure what happened, it was 11 oclock at night on a twisty one lane road and 25 degrees outside. Never got a look at where exactly it was leaking and tow truck took it to dealer who is an hour away. -
Fuel Line Replacement
BP - OK, so pump in fuel tank is about $350, but is obviously working well as fuel is spraying on ground under engine - no need to replace. If two hpfp s are needed I found those between $100-150 each, one for each side of engine, however as far as I know they are working as well, just not... -
Fuel Line Replacement
Hoping to get an idea of cost. My 2010 LR4 V8 just stopped on the road a couple days ago, trying to restart I smelled gas, got out and looked underneath and gas was spraying from underneath the engine area. Key off it would stop, key on it started spraying again. Had it towed to Land Rover... -
largest tire with no lift
Just thought I would add to this for the info of others who search. I have Johnson Rods and aftermarket 20" ATX rims. First tried a set of Nitto Trail Grappler MTs in 285/55/20. Had to do a little trimming of front plastic with a dremel and had rub on frame at full lock to both sides. Rub...
