    Cold weather transmission failure

    I know this thread is years old, but I'm trying to do my part to contribute experiences when/where I have them. 2015 LR4 We had a cold spell last winter (-10 F was the highest temp for 5+ days). I had it one morning (-25 F) that we received a Transmission Fault error and it wouldn't shift into...

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    @jlglr4 - One of the independent shops identified it was the chains. Removing the oil cap and looking down they could see too much play and flapping if they turned over the engine. Personally, I couldn't tell/see enough from these pictures, but I'd like to think that I can trust them and their...

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    @GunsAndRovers - I was under that impression as well that 2014 and newer didn't have the timing chain issue. Which was why we looked for a 2015/2016. In talking with both Minneapolis and Omaha technicians they indicated that the newer model LR4s have fewer timing chain issues, but they are still...

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    @powershift - I don't have the non JLR part number. I might possibly be able to dig it up. Here is a non-heated JLR part number: LR051567 I asked them to put it in the box and in the back of the LR4 if they can take it off without cracking. I'd be happy to sell it to you if they are successful!

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    @itsaguything - I didn't answer your earlier question. This was from a dealer. I had two LR dealers give an estimate and asked two independents. One independent said he could do timing chains, then read the tech sheets on how to do the job and backed out. 2nd independent took 3.5 weeks to get me...

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    Yep, I'm not really questioning the price. It seems about right based on what I've seen on this site and others. We could potentially find a comparable LR4 for lower cost than that and possibly a few less miles, but then as many of you have mentioned it could all happen again. Just like any...

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    Oil was changed every 5k. Started with a check engine light on indicating the camshaft/crankshaft out of sync and running slightly rough. When I cleared the code the engine ran smooth, acceleration, etc. was good. Turned it off, started again and the CEL was back and same code, running slightly...

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    Have a 2015 LR4 that my wife absolutely loves. It has had its share of standard wear and tear type repairs over the last 3 years that we've owned it. Now unfortunately it had a timing chain issue... which also resulted in cylinder head damage. $15k to fix those IF the valves were not bent or...

    Diff Fluid

    I'm watching this conversation as I'd like to know if there is a fluid that I can either top off my rear differential or change the fluid myself. My understanding is that only the dealerships (nearest one is 2+ hours away) have the correct fluid and there isn't a compatible spec'd fluid...
