    Dual engine air intake channels

    Yup, if you pull an air box out you’ll see the holes. Actually just as a side topic has anyone found a replacement for the one way water drains at the bottom of the air boxes? Both of mine have rotted out.

    Dual engine air intake channels

    Agreed, on the diesel models they have only one air intake, the other side is a dud. It is cool to see side vents that are actually functional. I believe on the new defender they run the same set up except only the V8 model uses both side vents.

    Hot Hood. Hot engine compartment. Hot grill.

    You’ll be fine, I live in California and with my car being black I can’t even rest my arm out the window while driving. Combine sunlight with a hot engine and you’ll burn yourself real fast. The temps outside the engine don’t matter, as long as the temps inside the engine are good and your ac is...

    Piston tolerance?

    On one cylinder only is kind of odd. Almost looks like a piece of metal made it’s way into that cylinder. How does the head look and how does the supercharger look? Maybe something catastrophic occurred in the supercharger and the remnants made their way into the cylinder.

    Long crank, no faults

    I only had the low battery when I had my my negative battery hooked directly to the coils, it probably messed with the charging system.

    Long crank, no faults

    Just an update, with the new configuration that I have going on (ground to the fender) my battery charge has stayed consistently at 100% and my voltage has worked it’s way to a consistent 13.5. As I’ve read this is normal so I am happy. Also the check engine light hasn’t come back which is...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Yes I did have my truck ceramic coated which was an amazing decision IMO because of the price and quality of work my guy does. All in it was $500 and the guy worked over a 2 day period. Day one was a full paint correction and day 2 was the coating. He sat on my car for 8+ hours a day in my...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Frontrunner full roof rack with the wind deflector and a light bar mounted with frontrunners mounts. Technically you shouldn’t be able to fit both but I did and then filled the little gap at the top where it mounts with black silicone. You can’t tell unless you were looking for it on the outside.

    Long crank, no faults

    New ground set up, car still starts up, voltage is still high and battery is now charging. I might just leave it like this if no one else finds the issue with what makes the resistance high on the regular configuration. Only thing is one of my MAF Senser’s reads -30 volts which I don’t...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Just got her first wash after sitting in a garage for nearly 6 months trying to chase down some electrical gremlins. So happy to have this truck back. She drives impeccably and looks the part as well. Mileage: 143,891

    Front Sway bar endlink advice

    Any specific brand I should buy. I see two Lemforder linkd on FCP euro and I see they are different part numbers, one being about twice as much as the other. Is there any difference? Is it worth the extra $70?

    Long crank, no faults

    I did both on the first test. I had to take another set of smaller cables to get it in the gap of the coolant pipes.

    2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage

    Is the Land Cruiser all time 4 wheel drive like these rovers or is it 2 wheel with a transfer case? That could make the difference

    Long crank, no faults

    Ok, I’ll move it and see if the car still starts. Also I do have a light bar that was grounded to the negative post when I had it installed, I wonder if that’s messing with the BMS when I used it during night time off-roadside

    Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...

    I could I go about fixing or figuring it out? Also when it gets colder out it will blow cold in the front and kinda cold in the rear

    I have not yet. By behind the BMS where are you talking about?

    Good point, forgot to mention that I’ve been running a trickle charger for the battery

    Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...

    I’ve got a bit of an hvac issue brewing, now that I’ve started driving the rover again I noticed that when it gets up to 96° my passenger and rear will blow warm. My driver is still cold tho. I don’t have any codes for low Freon but both my condenser and compressor have been replaced so my AC...

    Long crank, no faults

    Here is my set up. I have ran a cable directly from the negative terminal on the battery to both coil grounds. If I shouldn’t be running the car like this let me know. Also I believe the car thinks the battery is low however there is no sign of lack of battery power. Every time it starts it...

    Long crank, no faults

    Does anyone know what part would have to be replaced? I’m tempted to just buy a used wiring harness off ebay

    Long crank, no faults

    I wired my own ground from the battery to the coil ground, I unscrewed the ground bolt and screwed the wire into ground for the coils.
