2015: Coolant Pipes; WP; Tstat; Hoses Replacement (and Radiator R&R)
After talking to a friend, and at his recommendation, after removing all radiator hoses, and the two large bolts that secure it to the Frame, and the two small sheet metal screws that attach it to a cowl, I was able to lift the complete assembly up and move it to a position that allowed me to... -

Rewiring accessories to use the 2nd battery?
Yeah but you’ve got to look at that truck every time you walk up to it! I’ll take my Start/Stop BS. -

2015: Coolant Pipes; WP; Tstat; Hoses Replacement (and Radiator R&R)
Thank you. Yeah I saw the same thing. after looking thru the manual tonight. I’ll prob just evacuate and charge the AC. I need to clean it all up and I’d rather just deal with it now while I am replacing all the coolant hoses. It must of sat a lot before bought it, as there’s 4-5 nest attached... -

2015: Coolant Pipes; WP; Tstat; Hoses Replacement (and Radiator R&R)
Finally got around to starting this today. I've got all the Belts/Hoses off, and wanting to pull the radiator to clean it as there's a lot of WASP Dirt nest stuck to it that I just saw. I've got all the hoses off, both bolts out, and something it holding it to the AC Condenser Assembly. Anyone... -

Power Supply Distribution Box/Gateway Module - Eco Stop/Start - Help Understanding
FWIW, and information only, our stop/start has not worked in years. We bought truck in 19, dealer replaced aux battery under warranty. Start/Stop worked for several months then quit. Has not worked since. Light is on dash. I have left it alone as I really don’t like that feature, as shutting a... -

Is there an LR4 Workshop / Service Manual?
I just purchased this, and the hyperlinks don't seem to work, is that normal? I was hoping that I could use the links to jump to prerequisite procedures. SO let me be more specific, the links at in the index work fine to take me to the topic, but once in the topic, if there is a reference/link... -

Fuel Injector removal on SCV6
Thanks. I ordered it then realized it did not mention working on the 3.0 so was not sure if I needed to return as I may not immediately need it. -

Fuel Injector removal on SCV6
Yeah I am aware of all those similarities was just not sure about the injection and other minor changes, as I know/thought they made some improvements in design. -

Fuel Injector removal on SCV6
Are the injectors on the 5.0 and the SCV6 the same? This tool states for 5.0, but does not mention if it will work on the SCV6. https://www.baumtools.com/shop/land-rover-tools/land-rover-engine-tools-2/bjag310-197-jag-lr-5-0l-fuel-injector-remover/ -

Beware: OEM vs Garbage
Every coolant crossover pipe that I’ve removed from a BMW M54 engine came apart where it enters the block requiring extensive cleaning with a sanding pad or copper brush. Even the ones that were not leaking that I replaced as PM came apart. That is not uncommon. -

Beware: OEM vs Garbage
I only by critical parts from dealer website or Rovers North. I’ve got one of the POS AB long blocks with 5k miles on it at a machine shop to fix their improper decking, then it will be blue printed and balanced. Long story but I don’t use AB anymore. To many crappy parts. -

Coolant pipe failure (SCV6)
I plan on making this a 100K maintenance item, along with the complete cooling system, after I replace with the updated parts. -

Beware: OEM vs Garbage
Sometimes they are the same, but not always as in my personal experience. Read the Turner link that I provided in my post. -

Beware: OEM vs Garbage
For critical parts like cooling system, I’d prob go one step further and only buy OE/Land Rover parts. There is a difference in the quality between OEM and OE Land Rover Parts. In my 2005 L322, the cooling hose O-rings are different between OE and OEM, and I’ve had several "OEM" hoses fail due... -

Coolant pipe failure (SCV6)
Stuart, If you have time, can you please post Eaton partno’s for the coupler and any other parts needed? I am getting ready to do all belts/hoses/pipes, water pump and thermostat, as well as pulling the SC for coupler and oil. Once I complete I am going to create a thread with all Land Rover... -

Coolant pipe failure (SCV6)
The first inspection should be a compression test before you dump money in it replacing parts, then I’d do a leak down. You cannot tell if a head/block is warped by looking at it unless it was totally cooked and even then you may not find a external leak as it still may be internal. I really... -

Coolant pipe failure (SCV6)
To the OP: Not sure you can determine block and heads are ok because “everything looks tight”. I’d run a compression test and leak down to start I am at 70ish K and replacing all pipes belts, WP, Therm and all hoses in addition to SC coupler and SC oil over the next few weeks. Told my wife no... -

STJLR.51.5122
I use AMSOIL is my L322 and 930, would like to use in the LR4, but I am not an engineer (chemical) and just don't know enough about oil (technical) to make a decision. Has anyone done any technical research or first hand experience with JLR? -

STJLR.51.5122
Does anyone know what is so unique about this oil, and any reason why you cannot use say AMSOIL 0W-20 in it's place for the 2014-16 LR4's? -

Actual Water/Oil Temps
yeah, I wish they spec'd it for the 2014-16 SCV6 LR4's. -

Actual Water/Oil Temps
Good points. My discussions with Andial were back in the late 80's, and I was running M1 then, so I am sure BIG improvements were made. I use AMSOIL in my 930 and L322, so I am really not to concerned about oil temps hitting 220-230 in either of those cars. I just don't know the quality of the...
