    Troubleshooting coolant vacuum fill failure

    True - my V8 starts cooling around 190 based upon the readings (and temps) I get from my GAP tool. The sensors rarely read above 200. There are two cooling temp sensors on the truck and I don't think temperature sensing inside the engine itself so I can't say what those temperatures are like...

    2016 LR4 Tire Carrier

    I like the full size steel bumper. It is heavier and rusts but find it sturdy and I think in that sense an improvement. I have the Kymar but I think that is basically the same as the Tactical 4X4.

    Troubleshooting coolant vacuum fill failure

    @ Rendak - what is the service history of your vehicle? In other words, How many miles do you have, are you the first owner (who owned previously), what has been done with the engine and cooling system already, how often do you change the oil, what kind of fuel is used, etc? Those details are...

    Front and Rear (Lower) Control Arm Guards

    Thanks Tribe! Agreed - I cannot imagine what these items would do (other than look tough, I guess). And as much as I care about appearances, and want to be as well as look as tough as possible...I cannot really see a situation which would be helped by those guards. I have my entire underside...

    Rear Tail Third Brake Stop Lamp

    Thanks @powershift - that was why I was asking but there is some pretty good advice here and @D_Walt posted some great photographs. There is a PowerfulUK video on removing the thing...but they really screwed the thing up and banged up the metal trying to get the thing off (and didn't actually...

    Increasing approach angle?

    FYI - if it helps: my ManTech (OEM) Steering Guard is pretty sharp looking and just fits over the OEM Bumper. Here is a really old, but pretty good (back when the truck was all shiny and still new!) photo which shows the plate quite well over the original plastic (with the OEM bumper and all).

    Front and Rear (Lower) Control Arm Guards

    Tribe, I am wondering if anyone has experience with such control arm guards? Prospeed seems to be the one manufacture that makes this - you can see these at...

    Rear Tail Third Brake Stop Lamp

    Tribe, In addition to all the other work to do, I am going to be replacing the "Rear Tail Third Brake Stop Lamp" on my 2010 LR4 HSE (HD). This is the plastic raised tail light above the rear window. Mine has gotten pretty beat up, cracked, and I think might be leaking...so time to swap that...

    Troubleshooting coolant vacuum fill failure

    Thanks, take your time, and keep us Posted @Rendak ! I will keep my fingers crossed! As for my build (or extensive service is more appropriate)...engine was buttoned up today and tried to turn it over....only to have continual faults from the brake system which in-turn (I think) shut the...

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    Thanks for the update @rubbndubbn ! Awesome the truck is back on the road. How was the HPFP timing off by that much? Did the chain jump or was there some other issue? I am curious about the cause of this error/failure. Thanks again and great innovative method to reset the timing down there!

    PCV refresh/replacement

    Great Posts and photographs everyone! Thank you @Michael Gain! I purchased two "PCV Valve Service Kit LR133579, Includes Diaphragm And Cap" from Atlantic British and did the install today. There were no codes and no visible or auditory issues but felt that after 15 years and 90,000 miles -...

    Upgrade or keep 2010 V8?

    Thanks @Mozambique , And keep us posted as you progress! I personally like my 5.0 V8 and wouldn't want a V6. I think your mechanic is basically correct: when you take off the heads on the V6, there is is this space where the cylinders for the V8 (AJ133) go. It does look like they simply...

    2016 low brake fluid warning after long non-use

    Dear @Frank8 , How are the brakes going? I am getting closer to working on the brake system rebuild (after engine services are complete). We are pulling all the brake and steering lines in the engine bay (the plastic / rubber hoses and such) as well as replacing the Vacuum pump and...

    Door deadening

    Thanks @powershift, And do let us know what your thoughts and progress would be regarding the audio upgrade. I have seen a couple videos of folks doing speaker upgrades or apple ICar/IPlay stuff but haven't really thought about that aspect of things for myself yet. Basically, the factory sound...

    Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?

    And yet another correction. After a bit of internet searching, it appears there are indeed a couple of folks have fitted 35" tires. But only a couple - one to an LR3 (which would basically be the same as a 4 I imagine) and one to an LR4. All that said - they did NOT also fit 35" tires to a...

    Troubleshooting coolant vacuum fill failure

    @Rendak, As folks mentioned - these problems with the coolant system are rather legion with the LR4 (at least the AJ 133 engine I have in my 2010)...and coolant problems appear to be multiplying with newer engine designs (for all vehicles). It seems engine designs are getting more and more...

    LR4 Engine Firewall / Bulkhead Sound Deadening and Heat Insulation

    And I forgot to mention - you seem to be right! While I have not had any furry friends in my LR4, the latest edition of LR Time, with Christian and Vera getting "the Cheapest Land Rover Discovery 3 in Germany" there are several mice nests in the LR3 they acquired as their newest project...
