    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    I did marginally overfill my reservoir purposely in the hopes of filling any air pocket.... and it stays that way without issue or overflowing.

    No pre warnings of the catastrophic event? How often did you change the oil? How often was the level checked?

    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    Well, it may remain collapsed as it's cold. When it heats up it will be fine. Good call in overfilling the reservoir. After a run, it should equalize. But the larger point is at 45k, its getting to be time for a fluid change.

    Difficulties finding steering shaft parts! If you have access to OEM catalogs, help!

    There can be a subtle difference between OE and OEM. I learned the hard way once with a replacement generator.

    Well, in the old days we really relied on the tripometer. GPS took over that responsibility. You will be marginally off. Does it really matter??

    Coincidentally, I took the XJR to a ZF service centre for it's first pan and fluid change, years ago (when Jaguar was adamant it was sealed for life) They refitted seals and valves on the valve body at that time.

    Original filter…. Dirty filters restrict flow… The replaced plastic pan works fine for me. I have heard of sealing issues with the metal pan. I’ve had 2 pan changes to date on this one. I’m at 180,000 km. Cheers.

    Yeah, I got that. And am sorry to hear of your situation.

    Yeah… I make my 6hp work hard. No issues. I am most reluctant to put anything into the 8hp unless its ZF endorsed. At 180,000 km, 2nd pan and fluid change, its as smooth as can be.

    Camshaft Position Sensor Code P0390

    Good call, though I think @Range\ Rover’s point was to confirm it was in fact the sensor and not the camshaft. FWIW, in my LR2, it was the cam. Thankfully a new engine and some accessories were on warranty. Glad you’re sorted.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Holy cow! Never heard of that happening. Out of interest how many miles? I’m wondering if that should be a maintenance item, like the rear coolant cross over pipes.

    @CRYA You are entitled to be wrong about the colour;-). But your front bumper is awesome. @Abram Those wheels and tires look just about “Right”. What was the fuel episode all about?

    Auxiliary Battery

    I beg your pardon, I wrongfully interpreted your response as “significantly detrimental, if not life threatening to the engine”. And the jury is out on that by most engineers in the business. As as I mentioned, its not about saving the money on fuel to me. Nonetheless, continue as you do. And...

    Auxiliary Battery

    Not entirely accurate. Of course those that entertain elongated oil change schedules will blame anything but… the elongated schedule or the fact they are not using the specified oil.

    Auxiliary Battery

    It will run fine without it. Its sole function is powering the monitoring aids (that is ensuring the vehicle is capable of restarting and that includes the main battery is sufficiently charged) And we are at odds…. I like stop-start. Mother Nature needs all the help she can get. (Its not about...

    Yes, there's 40mm difference in the diameter between your size and mine. And with the added sidewall, a nice platform for varying air pressure needs. And happy for you that rubbing should nearly be non-existent. Is that a pic at standard height? Do you have one at off-road height?

    That big plastic fitting where the arm connects to the blade annoy me. So they cost more… the oem are fine for me. Now, if there were a solution for the rear wiper keeping its tension on the rear window, I’d be all in.

    I’m sorry to hear. Stiff upper lip. Get the block head and heads checked. With you there.

    IMHO, The issue with LTs are the stiff sidewalls. You will have better grip at many different air pressures and certainly a better ride by staying with XLs
