Linear Coolant Leak Under Radiator - 2011
Buy some UV coolant dye online and add it, use the blacklight to find the source... -
So here is why after owning (4) Land Rovers I don't think I will ever own one again.
That is both systemic and endemic to LR in general. Pushing the design/tech envelope consistently without thorough testing, and shear execution.- NASdiesel

LR4 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement?
Closing the loop a little. Had my local shop replace the passenger side gasket, took them a little longer than they expected but had reached a point that if I left it longer, would have had an engine fire. -
Winch recommendations for ARB deluxe bumper
I tip the scales at 9K pounds loaded. Had the 10K winch in my first bumper install and it struggled especially on hill climbs in snow bound woods (double line - Winter Romp). Had a chance to redo the bumper install and put the 12K in. -
Suspension Fault!!!
Codes. We need the codes. But usually is a failing compressor. -
Winch recommendations for ARB deluxe bumper
I have a warn zeon, no real fitment issues that I recall. The freespool is easily reachable which is nice. -
Winch recommendations for ARB deluxe bumper
12K winch. Always at least 1.5x the weight of the truck. -
LR 4 Retired
I ordered my LR4 with locker and while the repair costs recently have been egregious, I don't think I'd sell unless the engine had a major meltdown. I agree with the the op, mine hit 90K miles and has needed a significant amount of work in the last year. I could see why people get fed up. I'm... -
LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
The answer is, they have the updated chain guides, but those too, due to design, will wear eventually. Big question is when. -
LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
All 5.0's have this problem. Even the Jag's. Sorry to hear. Call these guys or check the consumer laws in your state as well. https://www.kgglaw.com/class-action/land-rover-and-jaguar-timing-chain-defect-class-action/ -
Timing Chain repair costs
They refused to open a claim? Seems really odd. Either way, two things you can do. One, contact these guys: https://www.kgglaw.com/class-action/land-rover-and-jaguar-timing-chain-defect-class-action/ Two, check your consumer protection laws in state. Many of the consumer protection laws are... -
LR4 Valve Cover Gasket Replacement?
Resurrecting this a little. My 5.0 has developed an oil leak somewhere on the lower right hand side of the engine. When it sits for a while I get a tiny pool about quarter sized. I did an inspection of the valve gasket and front timing cover/engine and found nothing but when I look down the... -
Integrated Front Bar / Winch Mount
And I'm giving him my first hand experience and opinion. I don't care, that you don't care for it, and don't care whether he cares for it. -
Integrated Front Bar / Winch Mount
Just in case this isn't obvious, the TF tray provides no frontal crash protection on either side of the frame horns. I once had this tray and didn't really feel comfortable with it for that reason. -
Integrated Front Bar / Winch Mount
My ARB sustained a hit while my truck was stationary, and another vehicle, rolled backwards down a hill and hit it after the drunk owner decided to stop and get out to lock his hubs in. My vote is the ARB (for the same reasons mbw mentioned), I replaced the damaged one with a new one. No other...
